Hawaiian Jimmy has the answer....do you?
Edit: Oh and perhaps I should say his hole is on the bottom right.
meh. I hate WWYDs but this is standard fare in St Louis: whack the three, clear the udder guy's hole, swing the CB three rails, and probably make the seven in your hole.
Here, we call it a "Big Ed."

Pretty close...didn't make the 7 and the cueball didn't go 3 rails, but he certainly whacked the 3 and cleared the other guy's hole. I couldn't believe it when I saw it:

Hard to tell at this angle, but I might carom off the 3-ball down to the end rail and duck behind the 15 (or, whatever that ball is over near the side-rail).
Option two might be the Pagulayan maneuver where I would go down on the shot then jump up, seven or eight times, and then walk around the table seven or eight more times. The beauty of this strategy is the pool room will probably close before the shot is taken.

Kick across the table into the short rail, nicking the 7 ball? resting behind the dark striped ball 14? there or on the right side of it. A speed shot, but fairly easy. Just be careful to hit it fat/fuller than you think. even if you over-compensate you are good here.

That's good too... lotta shots here. But I like to absolutely torture people by putting them in CLOSE proximity to other balls.
There are 2 shots I might try. The first is to go soft off the 2 ball and leave the rock on the bottom rail. The second is to kick soft on the 7/15 balls and leave him on the long rail near his pocket. I dont see an opportunity to move balls over to your side of the table at this point. Its risky to try anything with so many balls on his side. It looks like you're probably going to be kicking balls up table from here anyway until an opening for moving balls to your hole.
Combo the 3-5 to bring the 5 back to my side of the table, killing the shot with a little bottom to park the CB in front of his own pocket just off angle where the 15 isn't bankable.
Oh wait I just watched the clip.... well it turned out alright for him, I don't know I would have risked breaking that up, I would have brought a few more soldiers over to my side and/or tried to set up a break ball first, that could have gone badly for him.

Not sure if they are lined up for this to work, but what I see is to hit the 4 almost straight with top spin. 4 will go to the bottom rail and then to your side rail. 8 will go to the bottom rail and up towards the 14. 11 across table and maybe back. Using top spin try to get the cue ball stuck to the bottom of the 7.
Off th 1 and into the dead ball (2? 4?).
You gotta shoot it, just to see if it goes...ya knows?

He didn't need to do all that but he did and it worked out. Lucky...
Tramp Steamer has a great option. Another option is to kick to the left short rail and back down hitting between the stripe by the pocket and the rail.
Ask Tom Wirth....
Tom Tom can do.
