Nice job. An insightful and fine article that makes the point of considering the table (bar table or big table) when deciding the pocket to choose. Nice job.

Only I have to disagree with you in your example. Drawing off the 6 ball to a small position window to then do a 3 railer for shape on the 8? This breaks the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) rule. I'd hit a stop shot on the 6 then shoot the 7 to get shape back to the middle of the table (or further). I really dont think the scratch in the side really comes into play going from the 7 to the 8 if hit it with a stun draw. J.O.

It's way easier to get on the 8 ball with the 3 railer ... it's one of my favorite shots to hit but I don't position to play it as often as I should -- thanks!!
