Dr. Dave demonstrates options for an interesting end-game situation in 8-ball. Some people might agree to a stalemate and replay the game, but there are many better options to consider, especially if you are shooting solids.
Contents:
0:00 – Intro
0:39 – Options for Stripes
—- 0:47 – extract solids a little
—- 2:06 – tie up 8 with balls
—- 3:10 – send 8 in front of a pocket
—- 3:39 – move 8 to tough position
—- 4:03 – jump onto the 11
4:22 – Best Option for Stripes
5:06 – Options for Solids
—- 5:13 – pocket 11 and leave CB safe
—- 5:42 – follow 3 through the 11 with backspin
—- 6:30 – herd the 3 through the 11 with follow
—- 7:19 – pocket the 11 and leave tough shot on the 8
7:59 – Best Option for Solids
8:26 – Wrap Up
—- 8:51 – shot montage
CORRECTION:
– at 2:50, I hit the 8 before the 4, so the shot is a foul.
