Alternatively, play up and down -- three short rails.
Yeah, I looked at that, Bob....I hardly ever score on that shot....
....need some practice.....it DOES leave a big ball.
If whitey was a little closer to the long rail....I like rail-first on the red with right english....
....short rail and both long rails......high speed.
If the white were easier to cue, you could play a "Schaefer" off yellow -- long rail first with left side and then spin out of the corner. It looks like the yellow is far enough from the long rail.
The shaefer shot works bigtime so wonderfully at time
But here is Bill Smiths answer
Pretty BIG ball the yellow, when played up & down off the red, with position!

I think if whitey had been more center table, I might've seen the rail first....
.....nice one.
could someone diagram a "shaefer" shot please?
It's "la Cacharrera " shot
Remember?
Ball is close on the short next to the corner, go long rail reverse English into ball, short rail long rail, other ball

latinos
but the europeans may or may not have a different word for it
bob byrne called it a corner spin out, lol

I've missed that shot long a few times....now I know what I did wrong...
....needed more speed.
Thanx, Sur
It might be spoken more like a snooker player in this spot, B-B.
Snooker players are used to trying to getting behind that ball.
No idea how many tries I would need....in a game, some times ya just feel like going for
something.....leave the calculations to the mathematicians and roll the dice.
I've made it several times easily, it's a great shot to know can be applied in alot of positions, and really wows you when you make it, your like how...., where,,,, i dont care

2 rails first
i play this shot with about a 50% make rate, shoot across table to long rail with a touch of left, hit short rail before red ball,off face of red, then long rail and towards a huge ball in corner.
