6-6. 3 on the spot. shooting from your pocket. WWYD?

No, I missed that.

But frankly, looking at your diagram I think you're putting too many balls in motion and it is unlikely that you'll be able to securely control all four of them. I think the right shot is just to nick the one ball and bring it back towards the spot and send the CB to the end rail. It's much easier to do and if you don't disturb the two and three it's less likely your opponent can get get out if you mis-hit the one.

My first attempt produced a similar result. I did it before seeing your solution. 🤷‍♂️ So my rusty dusty one pocket game is still....well okay 😉 I sure miss the chap one pocket games.
Can you show us what 'Similar' looks like in a photo/video/diagram?
 
A favorite practice shot is two in line on the spot and in hand from the kitchen. It has however been so long that I Don T remember the solution. 😉 should make for a fun morning fitness session. 🤷‍♂️ Oh What Fun!

The 'CB In the kitchen/two in a line' has Nothing to do with the 'Diagram'!!

So well weak if playing Efren or Chohan 🤷‍♂️ but adequate in a C game. (I hope ) 😉
So my morning session continues with the other hand getting the reply shot. Lefty loves a challenge and off we go. 😉

You left '2 Straight back banks'! It may be 3, can't tell from the camera angle.

Both maybe 3 with 'Built in safeties' for your opponent!
 
Sound
As mentioned above, if one of the balls is six inches different, your opponent has a free bank that might leave the cue ball behind a blocker. Try it ten times and I bet three of them sell out.
According to You, it's sounds like a 70% success average!

So, playing a 'Race to Ten' 3 games will sell out!

And the shooter has more opportunities to win the other 7 games!

Knowing how the collision of balls/kiss caroms/How English effects them!

BTW, these were the Very first 2 sentences of my option!

MY total concern from this position is 'Control of the CB'!

90% of my attention is focused on that!

No 'Confidence' in perfecting CB control!

Maybe You should study more Tony Chohan videos!

FIRST! Be a Shot Maker was the Gold in my lessons from Backward Jan. Those $20 lessons were money well spent.
So Lefty just replied with this.

Pocketing the 15 and leaving the above picture for the game ball. Wonder if Lefty is up to it 😉.

Okay I would Love to see the "Chohan" solution. I will endeavor to find one I can replicate at a decent percentage. 😉

Playing from the bottom right pocket and banking the head ball 7 for the side pocket, taking whitey to the head rail and back.
Might be my best answer......so far 🤷‍♂️ 😉
 
"What would You do
Experiment is my answer. 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes my Experiments produce Do Do and I can chalk that up to knowledge. Kinda like eating smart pills. 🤷‍♂️ can't remember how the rabbit pellets joke goes.
I can't remember your solution. Guess I could look back.... okay found it. Tried it and it's too advanced for me.
My coaching from Backward Jan leads me to banking the head ball to a better position by a numbering system for areas on the table. The final rest of the cueball is the critical element.
 
Well! Just found my final answer.
20250524_090640.jpg
Off the head ball and back to where it started. Simple. 😉 🤷‍♂️ I am done it was fun.
Edit: Oops not where it started. In the Jaws of the opposite pocket. Duh headscratch.
