Thanks for posting very helpful.

Thanks, Tom! Can you take it to the next level and give the responses to the result of each of the shots you just demonstrated?

[@onepocketagameofcontrolled3646]

I'll see what I can do. Most of the time if the shot I'm demonstrating is played correctly those responses should be simple safeties. I can probably offer some basic fundamental ideas of what those safeties should look like.

situation # 2 was not played correctly....

[@onepocketagameofcontrolled3646]

And how would you have played this position, Scott?

[@scottbacci8933]

Same as position 3 with a softer spin shot. Way too close to the scratch on position 2.

[@onepocketagameofcontrolled3646]

Scott, it helps to know the table you're playing on. These pockets are pretty tight. I was well aware of what to expect from that hit. Close doesn't count for very much. Almost winning is in the end, still losing.

[@scottbacci8933]

And almost scratching is closer to scratching than not scratching at all. More than one way to skin a cat. Would rather bank it up table in my sector than having my cue ball rattle the pocket.

[@onepocketagameofcontrolled3646]

I totally disagree with your critique of the execution of situation 3. The shot was executed to the degree that my opponent can do nothing to place me in any jeopardy.
