Was this shot intentional by SVB?

Looked like a 2 way shot to me.

If I had to guess, I would say he called the 10 in the corner, with the intention of leaving the 4 in the middle of the rail, or better yet, by the 8.

I thought

that 10 ball was call shot! And no, he wasn't playing the 10, but he did make a good kick on the 2 and the jump shot on the 3 though.
 
Looked like a two wayer to me.A lot of of good things could happen with the good speed he used.
 
Was the shot called? The original post somewhat suggested a call shot wasn't required. I'm quite convinced that the actual intention is to play CB behind the 10. But again, who the hell am I?!
 
I didnt see or hear him call it. He tired to play a good safe which he did. Oh and sunk the ten ball in the process :cool:

And who cares about that shot anyways!!! The kick shot to the jump shot was so much more impressive. Shane is a beast who made THREE!!! world class shots to get to the safe that won him the game. :yes:
 
You could see him put his hand down in the corner pocket where the 10 went. As if he was lining it up,,,, I think he was trying to sneak the cue back there,,,but whats in his mind ,,,,we don't know.
He could have been thinking if I mis it right I will end up here!! Or maybe I just might make it!!

Yet another example of "the better you get, the luckier you get".
 
That was a really cool sequence of shots. I think Shane may have realized that the 10 might possibly go, but I doubt that he was going all out to make it. His object ball placement on the 4 ball probably would have won him the game anyway, this way was just a little faster. :)
 
Realistically, the 10 was pretty far from the pocket to actually play that shot. From the speed he hit the ball, I think he was playing to come up inside the 10 for a hook and hit it a little fat. Some 10 ball, like the Seminole, is not call pocket.

To me, it seems that he was playing this shot. Jay Helfert says he thinks Shane was playing safe behind the 10, and I value his opinion highly. However, Shane had to have been playing the 10 at least as 2 way shot. There was no penalty if he was. What do you think?

It's not true that there would have been no penalty if he hit the top side of the 10 instead of hiding the cueball behind it. If he hits the top side and lets Francisco see the whole 4 ball Francisco might be able to pocket it or at the very least have a much easier safety than if he was stuck. Any time Francisco can see a whole ball he is very, very dangerous, and Shane knows this. Also, making that 10 ball like that is extremely difficult, even for a great player like Shane. For those reasons, I don't think he was trying to pocket the 10.
 
it appears to me that he tapped the pocket as a way of calling it.


either way it was a perfectly played two way shot
 
I think he's playing a two way shot. All he has to do is try and scratch in that corner and the ten goes in.
 
I think he was playing the 10 because if he misses it is in a safe position, so basically he played the 2 way. IMO
