What would you do here?

I would be thinning the 2 and leaving it there. Put CB on end rail or behind-ish the 3.

I can get to the side rail above the pocket, right?
 
Dammit, Neil! I looked at the picture real good and everything!

I am making something then!

Edit- I take it back...I am going off the end rail after the 1 and going for rail below that side pocket! :wink2:

Sometimes you are the bug, sometimes you are the windshield.......


I may very well play the ever-popular "fram" shot which would include but not limited to caroming off the left side of the 2 and going a minimum of 7 rails and hitting no less than 4 balls.:eek:

This is the first time Ive used this software. Sorry in advance if I mess this up. My thought would be a little more aggresive with the shot. Thin the one ball in the corner, bringing your cue ball down somewhere around the middle diamond. I would then play a carom on the nine, being mindful of a built in safety. I know its really aggresive but could really work to your favor. Even if you dont make the nine, your chances of leaving your apponent safe is a good one,

can't see from diagram if CB passes the the 4 (drawing) to the 9. If it does, jacked up masse style draw... draw back, pocket 9. profit. lol.
 
Go for 2 shots. Jack up and draw the cue back into the 9 while combo carom the 2-6 off the 8 into the side.

Good luck with all that. :)
 
Playing the ghost you had ball in hand on the 1 ? How come you didnt setup for the 2-9?

As played if I am playing the ghost I think you got to draw back and pot the 9, and depedning on spacing mabye play the 2 in the corner at same time.

Edited: 2nd glance seems to look like just thinning the 2ball and going across the table and back to pot the 9 would be pretty easy.

In Neil's OP he stated the carom off the 2 was dead in the corner. Banking the CB off the 2 + side rail is 'off'.
 
Is the 2-6 combo in the side on? Looks possible from this diagram. Seems to be the easiest shot out of everything people are tossing out here. You're close to the 2, don't need to hit it real hard and it looks like the cut on the 6 is minimal.

To the people saying to go across table off the 2 and make the 9, he already said that caroming off the 2 is dead in the corner. Going after the 9 that way isn't there.

I think it's difficult to give a correct answer here, because every millimeter could change the situation. It is hard to see the exact angles.

You could thin the 2 towards the 6 - maybe with draw - and let the cb float behind the 7.

Tried that tempermental wei table again and for whatever reason she played ball...

Super jack-up draw. So easy, even a caveman can do it. :wink:

I was playing the ghost this morning, and this came up. I made the one, and wanted to get to where the red line shows for the two. I was a little off on the angle, and the speed, and stuck myself like shown. The cb and the 2 are not froze, maybe a 1/16" between them, carom off the 2 is dead in the corner.

Neil, from past readings of your posts I'm assuming you are a decent player so this advice I'm giving is from one player to another and I'm not trying to sound like I'm some great shooter talking down to you. You admittedly overshot your position. This is the type of shot where I like to think, before I shoot, "I want my cueball to go here *BUT* if I miss that position do I want to under shoot it or over shoot it?" Under shooting on this one is pretty much golden. I definitely wouldn't be playing pin point position on a shot like this unless I was really really in good form that day.
