Blown Speed Control

[Rod]

I think you would be better off trying to get on the left side of the two ball. That way you would have the appropriate angle on the 2 ball to get on the correct side of the 3 to get on the 5. You have a good five feet of area to stop in and if you get too much angle on the 2 then you can go one rail back to the 3. Foolproof.

Also use left don't use draw as it is very hard to control your speed and angle when you try to draw off this ball.

Yes, if you error go long. No draw is needed, it would wear off by the time it hit the one ball at such a slow speed. I'd use more spin and aim the one a tad fat. If you don't the c/b swerves and you hit it to thin. To thin may very well end up in the side pocket. LOL

draw

You could have also hit the ball at regular speed (not juiced) and just used draw, no left at all. Center draw would have been more consistent. You could have been able to keep it where you wanted a lot easier, and at normal stroke speed too!

The reason why you couldn't control the speed of that shot is because it was unnecessary to use sidespin to get to the center of the table. Use center draw with a smooth stroke and you will be surprised at how accurately you can control the speed with one rail position. Another reason you couldn't control the speed is because you are the worst player in the history of mankind

i hope this works.
use the side rail to gain the right "line" position and after pocketing the 2 end up at postion c for the runout.

Egg McDoggit has shown the proper way to achieve position (IMO)... all you needed to do was "steepen the angle and draw to a point below that first diamond as Egg shows in his diagram.

When playing position, it is a good idea to have a back up plan if you go too far or too short. In this shot you don't need "exact" position. Finding a general area in or around the center of the table will suffice.

i dissagree. the path of the cue ball should always, when possible, be going towards the angle of the next shot not through the angle as seen in his post. there is too much room for speed control error. in my post the speed control for the most part is no longer a major factor.
