WWYD: Jump or Kick

My initial instinct says jump it. But I notice the same thing that alphadog noticed...
Where the cue ball position is, it looks like a tough jump for a right hander. You might be able to reach it with a dart stroke. Left hander, it would be easier. Especially if this is a 9 foot table.

I think even a massé would be a reach. Kick at it.

Are you seeing bottom rail on the left?
 
If thats the 4 hole I stand by what I posted earlier.

If thats the 5 hole I am jumping.

Now you guys can argue over how to # the pockets😎
 
Jump is a hanger jump. Cut also so straight in that it is quite easy keep cueball in table and even get decent position or play safe from 6 afterwards. If cueball would be further way, even little. Then i would kick it always. Keeping cueball would come real challenge.

I also found the jump easy to pocket...and after contact, my cb just stopped there, leaving a bank on the 6 to same pocket (as the 4).

Sent cb around table short, 5 rails and got under the 6 to continue the out.

It is my table and nobody shoots back. That's how me do it at home.
