Okay. This layout came out after long time i shot some 14.1 in practice table.. After first break i get this mess and did not want to give up so easily.
What offensive shot you would try here?

Follow straight through the 3 to make the 5? Carom to the ball by the side (11?).
Yes. That 5 was my first option but i think 3 hit too full to 8 and wont get enough bounce from end rail to make clear route for cueball make the 5..
 
Other than the run through shot onto the three, it looks like the two may be wired if you kick at the eleven here. Another possible shot is to draw off the six ball to carom the five into the corner. You could also try to carom the two into the side. Nothing easy available here.
 
The three ball combination is doable as is the cut on the six. Either will get the cue ball out in the open. Two ball looks on enough if your long kicks are. I'd probably just roll up to the three and wedge it on the bottom rail.
 
That one ball combo into the stripe there by the two looks pretty close to on for the far corner. I think that's my choice.
 
Wow, impressive! Reminded me of Irving Crane’s shot vs Balsis at the beginning of his famous 150-and-out run!
I really wanted to make 100 from that.. But early on 5th rack i was careless and fouled with my shaft while going down on shot.. Feeled like i shamed that shot.
 
Ok. Here is my solution. I just wanted to share because it is like from hustler..
Great eyes.... Those types of shots are always easier to spot when you're over the table, but I'd have near zero chance of spotting that one anyway.

I was going to suggest the straight cut on the 2 to the top right corner if it was on. I'm guessing not...?

I just would not have thought it was possible to get enough velocity to pocket the 2-ball, considering the thin cut that had to be made on all four of those balls involved in that combination!

Again, not that I would have seen that shot at all, but there's no chance the 2 reaches the corner on my dead slow table.
 
An awesome wraparound shot. I believe Crane's shot in the 1966 match was the 2 ball as well-

A safe is the best bet to win a game but you asked for a possibility. Cut the 6 in the upper left corner. This will give you subsequent shots.
