When watching this video, it becomes apparent that Danny is saving a triangle of balls in the middle of the table that he just feels will work. When the rack is still mostly on the table, it's not necessary to have an exact end pattern in mind. But a solid training in the game can guide you - even subconsciously - to taking off the balls that just won't help you later in the frame.
At about 1:45 into the video, he sees the end pattern, and with 9 balls left on the table, executes it flawlessly. Look at what he does when he plays the 6 down the table and moves the 11 into key ball position.
Here is just a glimpse of Danny's stellar play, to which SJM was referring in another post. More to come.
(Btw, folklore states that you too can run balls like this if you are willing to wear that ridiculous hat - but no one has yet deemed it worth it.)
