How low on the pink are you, square on?

play pink into middle ?

Or use a power shot with top left or right (running side) to swing the cueball around 4 or 5 cushions. It takes a bit of practice to get this one right. Objective is to hit side cushion just below middle pocket, baulk cushion, side cushion and then side cushion near black.

All depends on the angle.

nice video mate, do you play that shot like that?? I play my cue ball after the middle rather than before it!

Just depends on the angle mate. I'd rather finish a little high on pink to save the extra travel on the white. If I play this I usually find the perfect angle for in off in to the middle lol

I guess if we just get proper position in the first place then it doesn't matter does it!

Yep, I usually mess up these rescue shots as I'm too busy kicking myself for playing the shot before that's left me in a poor position.
