This is a typical shot where your opponent scratches on purpose, leaving you behind the line to make your next shot harder...just kick it in. (Some rules require a ball in hand behind the line (called the kitchen), and you must hit a cushion past the line to make a legal shot).

Here is a shot that comes up all the time where you might want to use a short kick shot to get better position on the next shot, which could be the 8 ball. (This shot's colored lines look odd, but remember they reference to the banking cushion.)
