since you are 3RAILKICK, did you try kicking at the 8 to make it?
While I was pecking at keyboard:
PJ...My illustration is probably a bit off. The 2 rail to the 9 was on, coming off the backcut 8, with a little running right at moderate speed..
Victor...9 footers.
Uwate...
I was sitting watching opponent who wins with the 8 or 9ball.
I commented to teammate about the two chances to win on the same shot.
Especially, with the coaching of her shortstop speed teammate.
Uwate and Tooler nailed it....no cut on 8, but slight backcut bank cross side, cb 2 rails at the 9ball.
8 ball almost reached the cross side pocket. Cb rolled into hanging 9, pushing 8, 9 and cb out in front of pocket.
I dogged it from there...needed one layer of paint on the 8 and a lot of right to turn the 9 away from the point. Got scared of the squirt, slacked off the right english and pushed the 9 into the point.(the cut/combo didn't go)(force/ follow was double kiss trying to go thru the 8)
Left an open shot to the downtable corner. I lost. Again. Missed it by that much...:sorry:
If I could do it over, might roll it harder, trying to double kiss the 9 off the point into the side. Would be close.
A fun exchange.
