Opponent plays safe, but leaves the 8 barely exposed for a shot into the side pocket, which is an extremely small opening at this angle, but I love these shots. They require a confident follow through, and good pre-shot, including breathing slowly out before stroking. It\'s a great looking shot.After the 8, I could have taken the 12 for the easy shot, but that would have put me down-table from the rack and not way to break the pack, so the 5 is the better shot. But I hit it way to hard to get shape on the 12 for the break, and got lucky by bumping the 12 instead.\n\nIf I hit the 12 directly into the right side pocket, it would have given me a low quality break, so I opted for the cross-side bank which gives the cue ball a better angle into the pack.\n\nThe 1 ball break into the bottom of the pack turned out lucky with the 6 ball exposed for my only shot. I was unhappy with the shot because I wanted to glance off the rack not et welded to it.\n\nThe rack has a nice dead cluster giving the 10 ball into the bottom left corner, so I work around getting a clear shot on it.The tape ends as I\'m down on the 9 ball, but I remember sinking it, and the next two for a run of 14.\n\nVideo shot on location at Fast Mikie\'s Fun House, Del Mar, CA.\n\nMore pool stuff available at FastMikie.com billiards, fastmikie, pool, practice, straight
