WWYD one pocket shot

If you leave the back ball near the end rail your going to leave a free cross corner on the front ball. That’s just my opinion. It’s also why the simpler shot is usually better.

Yes, in a real game for the cheese I don't know if I'd try that shot,
but I did try it a couple days ago, got the back ball near my hole,
whitey parked near the foot rail.. no banks available for my opponent,
who's now on defense.

And yeah, real easy to sell out on a shot like this...:cool:

Of course if you do leave the cross corner it’s not a gimme by any stretch of the imagination. Like someone said earlier in the thread there’s not really a wrong shot when it’s wwyd scenario. I know I’ve sold the farm a lot of times even when I thought I shot the right shot.
 
I'm still sticking to thinning the 5 and bringing the cue to Brunswick Blvd.
 
Brunswick Ave is the head rail. Brunswick Blvd is the foot rail..... The commentator named "BOX" using those descriptions. He also sounds like Barry White.

Ok, now I’m really confused. I’ve been known to have a senior moment, but wouldn’t having the cue ball on the BVLD give your opponent a choice of banking the 9 or 5 with nothing on your side? Wouldn’t that be the worst possible place for you. I seriously doubt Box would shoot that BVLD shot unless he hates his money:eek::smile:

If I knew what I was doing I would have stayed in school. As for hating money.... a fool and his $$$ are soon parted. That's why I'm not a cash player. Anyway I'm still in the learning process...and still.not sure what pocket the OP is referring to. Lower right is lower right. There is only one lower right pocket. I think. Anyway off to see TRW...another great Day In The Life.
 
If they are frozen, you should be able to bank both balls to your pocket

I've tried this shot a number of times.. no way. You can get the back ball
towards your hole, front ball goes up table (hopefully not selling out)
and whitey hopefully parked on the foot rail, not leaving a bank.

Again, with no do overs, for the cheese, it's a high risk shot.
