Example 2 of 3
Next
Ever been stuck with this shot ? 5 ball dead into
a rail. A very tough cut shot which may require a hard hit to
accomplish. Play safe instead and give it worse than you got it ?
How would you play safe in this situation?

Just a hair off center I would strike the 5 ball a
little to the left of dead on. I wouldn't hit it hard medium speed
at most. A little center / bottom is required to keep the cue ball
in control and to kill it behind the 9 ball. The 5 being
struck full faced will roll to the other end of the table leaving
your opponent with a tough snookered shot which even without the
snooker is a tough one to deal with.

And the winning result is below. Leaving
your opponent with a very tough kick shot.
