[zensteve]

you know what they say about assuming things.....

 

[bbb]

assuming the white is mine heres my shot
your comments will help me know if it was a good or bad choice
i consider your replies as constructive critisizm....:wink:

 

[zensteve]

My bad. We have white.

You can play back and forth but I have more control only using two long rails. It's all preferences. Ignore my cue ball hitting the ball before the rail. Ha ha...maybe this mistake is Feudian since this is usually what I do.

 

[zensteve]

But this is my favorite!

Doesn't that force you to have to hit the shot more precise because you have to be right in front of the ball on the third rail. Making sure not to hit the ball directly. With my idea after the third rail you can hit the ball directly or hit the rail in front of the ball too. Your thoughts please

Nice shot I would never have seen that or know how to shoot it

Thin hit off left side of yellow with two tips inside top english on white. One of my favorites.

 

[zensteve]

Good viable shot but it seems to sensitive for me to shoot this one. I rarely get a good hit.

I like this backup shot as well. Depends on how I'm hitting them that day

 

[pacemonster]

This shot was played on me once. White was hit with outside right english. My lines aren't perfect but the shot was executed very well. I also remember Sang Lee shooting a shot like this once. I'll have to look to see if I can find the video.

What ever happened to playing a simple Zig-Zag shot with possibly position?

I think the zig zag shot (2 variations) were diagrammed first. Definitely the most common solution

Great shot Mike! Looks like the red ball may be problematic.

I didn't really draw my line for the red correctly. The hit on the red was thin and the red came off the rail more towards the other long rail. I had several snaps of the fingers when he pulled that shot off. I've tried the shot myself but it's really hard for me to judge. Too many better options for me to shoot with higher % of hit.
