Shoot the 7 into whichever pocket gives the better angle to get the 5 off the rail
Something like this?
No, I've got better speed control than that
Or maybe this is more like what you envisioned?
If those are the only balls on the table, place the ball to draw between the 7 and 8, landing just past the 8. If you don't go too far, the 7 can obstruct the long kick as well.
What’s the point your trying to make? You’re obviously not shooting the shots, as the 11 is still frozen. It seems you’re just placing the balls in a worst case scenario after shooting the 7.

That's what I'm saying, I've got a got a good feel on how to go into a ball and where they're gonna end up before hitting them.
I just want the 5 in the center of the table and the cueball anywhere near also off the rail
If your gonna do that just bank the 5 off the rail and leave the cueball behind the 8&7 balls
If he gives you back ball in hand again, have you really accomplished anything?
if you do that, you need to be damn sure that you get plenty of separation between the two balls
It would be easy to shoot 7 into corner and bump out 5. If I wanted to play safe I would just roll 7 up to far end of table and leave CB on same long rail as 5 and let him shoot. You don’t have to freeze CB to rail as long as 5 stays between 11 and CB. Large margin for error and opponent will have to kick from way down table. If he misses the shot and you have ball in hand roll 7 a little closer to hole and freeze him on long rail again
If he manages to kick it he’ll just open them up and if you don’t have a shot on 5 then just shoot the 7 which should be close enough to a corner pocket from your previous safe
If he manages to kick it he’ll just open them up and if you don’t have a shot on 5 then just shoot the 7 which should be close enough to a corner pocket from your previous safe

Exactly, your not doing anything by leaving your ball on the rail where you can't shoot at it.
Cause if he does that to me, I'm probably gonna pushing his 5 closer to my stipe and giving him the ball, closer but not on the stripe.
Or bank away the 7 up table maybe so he's got virtually no break out ball

He’s under the covers and I’d shoot the same shot again. He’s going 2-3 rails. Let him hit it and open it up or I’ll 3 foul his ass!

If you want to seperate the 11 and 5, play the 7 in the corner by the 8 and get the cueball between 11 and 5, you don't need to hit the shot hard. If you want to play safe, play the 5 into the 11 to seperate them and let the cueball roll onto the 5.
