Any time I see this shot on the table I get happy and make sure to get the perfect shape needed to make it. On a fresh table I get even happier because I can do even cooler things with that shot. I did this the other week. The guy I was playing acted like he saw the most amazing shot he had ever seen.
I have loved simple straight back blind banks for years. No way to show the player's position on the cue table but it seems to always make the opponent's heart shrivel at least a little when you hit a bank towards a hole you can't see and move into position to shoot the next shot as soon as you hit the cue ball without a glance to see if the object ball will fall. Something sweet about those shots, seems I always know the ones hit right are falling the instant I hit the cue ball.
ooh, yeah, I forgot about the first one! I love power-draw shots! Like you, it has to be a good day to stroke it that well - on a good table, with good cloth and good cueball. lol
I gotta try that bank-position, it's built on top of my follow-with-inside stroke shot.
I know this is more of a simple one, but it's a shot I really feel comfortable with, and it usually gets a raised eyebrow, accompanied by a "Nice shot" from my opponent.
