One pocket. What’s the play?

Gotcha.. I stand corrected, thanks for clearing it up.
It would have been clearl if you had quoted your original post.
And to your shot, I find myself shooting shots like that quite often. As mentioned earlier in the thread by a lot of people, execution accuracy is pretty damn important in this game and that is not too hard to do.
It certainly looks possible to me in the original lay out, in the virtual pool thing it's not possible to hit enough of the 14 , thats why I am not a fan of adding them to the equation.
It might open up the 9/10 depending on speed when bumping the 5 to the rail, I still like it better then banking the 4.
Sometimes taking an intentional foul is better then selling out.
I'd knock the 5 over to my side and bury the cue ball.
He will make a mistake if you give him the opportunity.

The 5 is the ball to hit, some how. Hard to tell on a screen. Anything else is a bit loose and could be expensive
Yeah that's the difficulty here. He should've never been left on that side but unfortunately there's not a lot offensively available.This is one of my favorite moves and a shot I practice a lot. Varying angles and amounts of inside to get it tucked up nice and protect me balls.
In this case though it would leave all your balls open for him to mess up since you have the right side pocket...unless you got real lucky and rolled under the 3 and didn’t bump the 5 out for a shot
I think the CB position has confused a few people since you should never leave it there if the right pocket is theirs
One other shot is to carom the 5 off the 3 over to his side and stop the cb on the 13 and one.

No one sees the advantages of this?
Easy to execute. Plenty of rocks in the field for the incoming player to have to deal with. May well reposition a ball near your hole that is well protected.
Now we are definitely NOT taking a foul from there, ever.

Going pro
The 4 should go. It was just hard because that window between 6 and 10 is small. You have to widen out the 4 a bit to the rail to compensate. Everything else is locked up. Except the 11. I’m hitting it 3 rails all day but a bit harder next time to get the cue ball down a bit more and 11 closer to pocket. That way 5 isn’t going without breaking open the pile. The 11 might go in 3 rails. Field goal between 3 and 6. I wasn’t paying very close attention to its path because I wasn’t trying to make it. It’s surprising no one else said the 11 ball. It’s one of the closer options to do something with.

It only looks like a 1/2 ball hit to me
No foul in this situation I was just making a general statement that I should have explained better.
Still a lot of good suggestions here.
I suppose you have to do what you are most comfortable with.
That's another option.I'd hit the right side of the one with medium speed and spread the balls more toward my side.
Did I get it right?
I'm thinking there is no cut and dried right answer here.
Each to his own.
Been a good thread so far everyone has been polite.

I read most of the replies and I still prefer what I said and post number 12. I like the idea of leaving him having to shoot up table from that short rail. I can see myself coming out with the best of it from there.
I can picture if you do anything regarding freezing him up in that stack and I'm going to be the one who ends up on that short rail in trouble.

I favor doing something with the 5ba as well. That's why I said my shot would be to double bank the five!! Simple yet effective..I'd hit the right side of the one with medium speed and spread the balls more toward my side.
