Uncuttable?

[taipafan]

Wondering how is this shot?
The red is uncuttable? Too hard to cut? Or not too hard to cut?

Couldn't avoid hitting other balls, that's why he didn't take it on, not because it wouldn't cut.

Hitting the left red, or the middle two reds, he had blue or pink.
Without hitting, there were four colours down there.
Hard to not having color play. Even not a good position, he could make a safe or snooker by a colour.
Just came to my mine a minute ago while writing the above, why he did not cut the red...He played safe, and if that made him a chance after Selby, he had a chance to get 147!

Some years back, when he potted the first red, he looked at the score board in purpose. Why? ... He wanted to make sure if he could make 147 or not.

Wasn't aware ot that one!. Another goody is potting a corner red from break off. Have tried it a few times and it seems to be the more extreme side that's applied the better your chances ...

It was a thin cut, so would need a bit of pace, the white was running lose and hitting other balls , he wouldn't really know where the white was going and of course there was always the chance of missing it and leaving a very good chance. Compare that choice to playing a good safety and in a match situation there is only one choice.
Or, he thought it didn't cut It looks like it does but you don't always see the proper angles on the tv.

I would say, if there were fourteen reds on the table, he would cut...Only Ronnie knows the answer.
