What is the best shot, and how many different shots, can you see, ranked in their order of probability. You are playing 9 ball in a league and no jump shots are allowed.

Wei table diagram. To open and see a shot when there is a line of Html code like this:
http://CueTable.com/P/?@1EAKq1PALH4QPBE2Rd...kALH4kQfn1uCtP@
Place your mouse on the line and hold down Ctrl button and shift on your left bottom of your key board and hit left click on your mouse fast twice, give it a few seconds to load and the shot and table diagram will appear. Depending on the speed and condition of your computer, this may take 20 seconds, so wait for it to come up.
To learn how to draw such shots takes some practice and the site will teach you now it works.
http://cuetable.com/mission.html
Begin by hitting the main on the left side which will show you examples of how it works. You can then open a table on the right side and begin to draw. If you have any problems in knowing how to export your shot to our site then email me at Flepool@bellsouth.net
When the table is first displayed all your controls will be on the bottom long rail. On the far left see an X and a ? Click the X, the rail fills up with options. I now drag and drop my Cb and Ob, then click and drag lines to display where they go. To the right of the ? I click the cue ball, then I drag the blue mark from the center and leave it on the ball where I want to show what English I am using. To the right of the side pocket I click the pool cue and it displays. To the right of this you see 3 little red boxes, go to the far one on the right, the 3rd one, and click it, then go to your post and the html code should then drop and display. To the right of this is a X, so if you mess up, you click the x and the table clears and you can start over. There are many more things you can do by studying the site but these are the main controls I use.

Best shot is a tickie into the nine. For me about a one in six chance of having it go in. Next best, one rail kick on the one sending it up table to the head rail. About a one in four chance of this working for me. Even though the shot into the nine is a lower percentage it has the hightst reward and you are still moving the one away from the cue.

I'm sure there are other shots but these are the only two that I would try knowing my capabilities.

That is what I am trying to teach you guys here, to see 4 or 5 shots, then to rank each one, then take the one with the highest chance of coming off, for your skill level.

I have a world class jump, and a special cue to go over short spaces with, but remember, the jump shot is out, but even if it was not, I could get over and make the combo, but a short jumper lacks power, and that combo is no gimmie, and I would face a big chance of missing it and setting up a easy combo for my opponent. When I go for a 9 ball combo, I want to make it, or blow it out of the pocket so I don't leave a hanger, so I can't get enough power on the jump, so its out.

You could corner blip out of the corner, by hitting the points, being up close, this is a good choice if the pockets are pro cut or tighter. You could long bank up table and back or you could do a reverse Masse just to make the hit.

But the danger in all these shots, is, if you don't make the hit, you give up cue ball in hand and he has a simple combo in for the win.

I look at the table and I am not playing a top run out player, at best, he will get hung up and miss off of the 5 or 6, both are in real tough spots, so even if I leave a shot, I don't figure him to get out. So since I cant have the combo for the 9, neither can he, so I just bust it up and challenge him to run out gambling he will leave me an easy 3 ball out. I shoot the 8 into the 1 to drive it up table and I hand him CB in hand.

Remember the lesson is, you don't always have to come with the big shot, sometimes you just hand him the cue ball and say, run out, I don't think you can without choking and doging it dude.

Some of the shots you did not see.

The corner blip, use no English, Its very effective up close like this, I would be 90%, farther away it gets iffy.

http://CueTable.com/P/?@4AAfI3BNAR1CUlh2DW...kbjT3kBUF3kBMF@

Jack up masse, lots of left, a very high percentage shot for me, because I invented a trick shot like it used in the world championship, this one is the same concept, but much easier. It would be a 90% shot for me.

http://CueTable.com/P/?@4AAfI3BNAR1CUlh2DW...kOqH3kBcw3kAux@

The long bank. This is a high percentage bank because you can equally divide the diamonds, use no English and hit the one 90% of the time. You hit it hard, so you drive the 1 out of there and don't leave a combo.

http://CueTable.com/P/?@4AAfI3BNAR1CUlh2DW...kaDr2kNUd4kANn@

Le Masse tickey, you masse around the other way, trying to drive the 1 up table and out of the combo, and you just may be lucky and make the combo yourself off of the tickey.

http://CueTable.com/P/?@4AAnI3BNAR1CUlh2DW...kIfs4kBUT4kMWg@

The lesson was I had 6 ways to make the shot, and I chose the one I felt gave me the best chance of winning the game, by not selling out and shooting my own self, in my own foot.

Isn't there also a 2 rail safety using the rail that the cb is closest to as the initial kick point?


Long rail, short rail, hit one ball on the correct side, 1 ball gets sent to nearest long rail while cue ball is parked at or next to the short rail in line with the 9 ball.

That is the lesson, do not be too quick to shoot, the more you look at them, the more you see.

Correct, so we see 7 shots, and we then choose the one we have the best chance on. If you only see one shot, then keep looking.
