Shot from the US Nationals

[Moe Szyslak]

There's this one shot from the Nationals I keep looking at. Maybe I'm crazy, but curious what thoughts are on this.

He goes 6 rails, comes in way short, and leaves Hugo a hanger which he of course makes. The OB is frozen to the rail, and he comes real close to a kiss by the 4th rail. The position would be good but there are some big cons against making it, and he's not even close. I know it's got natural angle and position going for it.

I keep thinking you could do an easy ticky off the red, it's a two way shot, you're coming in at a pretty flat angle on the white, at that angle the white is fairly big. Maybe end up with a short table. It seems like a more reliable point to me.

How about thin off white and then long, short, short. At least three ways to score. I think the kiss can be avoided.

I also like that...and likely would have chosen the shot displayed, going about 1/2 closer to the corner on rail1, vs what groot did.

I've spent a good bit of time on those tables and they play long + vertical effect on the ball does crazy things.

I believe they always use royal pro cloth.
