Video: Archer cleverly solves tough 14.1 problem during his 2016 DCC 74-ball run

3 ½ minute video clip. A few racks into his 2016 DCC 74-ball run in the Straight Pool Challenge, Johnny Archer has missed position on both his key ball and his break shot.

He adroitly handles the problematic break shot -- kicking out three seemingly unhelpful balls -- then skillfully achieves perfect position on a secondary break shot (via that subtle little stun stroke to an ideal point (and slight angle) just behind the 6-ball for the side-pocket shot that gets him his angle on the now very helpful 8-ball:

Enjoy.

Yes, that was a nice bit of maneuvering to get himself back on track! Thanks for sharing that!
