After the break, what to do?

• Stripes because 2 solids are blocked by them.
• 14 first because it's close and easy, and natural angle to roll forward and bump the 7.
This solves the 11 ball problem, you sink it and go 1 rail below the 10 to solve the 10.
• From there roll your own, but I want to end with 15 [stop], 12 [stop], 8.

I'm not 100% thrilled with this plan because making the 13 and trying to fall straight enough on the 15 requires good speed control, it's not natural. Getting there from the 9 is possible, but then you still have to make a good shot on the 13 to fall straightish on the 9.
 
Stripes, every ball has a pocket. I'm starting with the 14 then 11, 10, 12, 9, 13, 15 and the 8 ball in the top left corner.
 
Shoot the fourteen in the side at speed and roll up and land firm on the seven, then shoot the eleven, ten, 9, then your 9 ball shape on the 13 allows you to play shape for both stripe balls and your coming from a natural two rail cut angle. That always adds confidence when shooting the key 13 ball, it wants to go to shape, you have to do something really screwy to not win from here.
