How Would You Run Out?

Would someone pretty please label the balls with numbers? Colorblind pool player here that can only make out the 8 and 9:( Thank you.
 
I would juice up the CB w/ 3 tips of left, firm stun stroke to send CB to the long rail just above the 1st diamond, let the spin take over to come around 3 rails and carom the nine...

then I would wake up and go clean my sheets...

Doubt you will get much more response, as the matter has pretty much been explored.

further dialog re: the chosen solution would likely result in further dialog...but you know what happens, so maybe the matter isnt worth further?

out with it, or the video of ny running 511.

I'm not really interested in how many responses I get, only that a proper amount of time elapses so that those who want to comment can comment.

I will decide the proper time in the future if you don't mind but right now I will follow your suggestion.

It was J.A. (not Jennifer Aniston:p) who did the shooting. For some reason he really loaded up with follow and hit it very hard. It was the last ball he made this game.

He put the cueball on just about the only spot on the table where he couldn't make the 4.

IF (a big if) I post another layout in the future I will try to label the balls. I'm not real good at this computer stuff yet as far as pictures and lines and things like that, but I will try. It took me 45 minutes to make the lines showing what Archer shot.

Ah, now I remember. It was the 4 that he missed not the 3, and the commentators were shocked at the shape he played on the 4 ball.

And it was the 2012 Southern Classic Finals against Pagulayan :)
 
Greenie for picking the right match from that layout!
I thought I watched a lot of pool, but you probably have me beat!

No worries, and thanks for the layout. Its funny, because anytime I watch a match, I don't even know where the next balls are at the players are shooting at. So frustrating trying to follow it. I've often wondered if I could in my own mind predict what the Pro would do, I would then be able to learn by watching the Pro. But, it doesn't work out that way, because I can't tell which ball is which.

The balls I do best with, for who knows which reason, are the centennials. The super pro's, and the cyclop, forget it. TV set or standard set, same issues with both:( And of course, centennials are almost never used anymore in professional tournaments.

I do mind. I will continue to make all the decisions around here :duck::wink:

Thanks for your effort. I never did see that archer flub. Wtf was he thinking?

I actually would like to be under the 4 and go 2 or 3 rails for the 5, but starting from where the 3/cb are, I'd settle for a stun off the 4 back to center table.

And I would think the angle he came off the 3 indicates that a shoot/ stop on the 3 will not result in an angle that let's one drift over to the 5; the resulting angle on the 4 would require a quick visit to the foot rail.

Wtf was he thinking!? Fatboy!? We need ya!

From the looks of it I think he was playing to get almost straight on the 4 in the side but was too high on the cb and didnt hit deep enough to come 2 rails out of the corner. If theres enough angle, I like going forward with a touch of left on the 3, just have to make sure to get past the 6, play to overrun the line a little, worst case scenario is a 3 rail position from the 4 to the 5.

This is pretty much a Cosmo out. I rolled the 3 in and came back off the short rail for a straight in 4 ball. I drew back a little for a 5 in the corner. Shape was easy to the 6, 8, and 9 after that.

If the 3 ball was straighter, I would have killed the cue ball or even drew back off of the side rail out to the center of the table. Table conditions affect the 3 ball shot, which is the key to the run.

Best,
Mike
 
Well, I spent the past hour trying this layout. I was only successful a handful of times, and not one of the times did the entire rack go as planned. That's why I'm a C player :P

Here are my outs. The first video I explained what I was trying to do for each shot (and I kept to this plan on every new inning). Off to eat now:)

Just saw the post showing what Archer did. If I may offer my opinion based on trying this out for the past hour...

I think Archer was trying to get where I was on my above videos to shoot the 4 3 rails to get to the 5. The angle on the 3 did not lay super natural. It was a bit too full to get the CB to roll nicely 2 rails out of the corner. The first few times I shot it, I came well short of my intended position. JA being 1000000 times better than me, probably realized it was a funny angle and needed way more speed than what it seemed. But he overcompensated a ton and went too far.

That's my opinion anyway:)

Thanks for the thread.

Hey Nick,

On the 4 ball your goal is to get to the center of the table for shape on the 5. You then proceed to go three rails and fall short of the intended target.

Maybe others won't agree with me, but I really don't think that's the best way to go, and in fact is the most noticeable mistake in your pattern. By going three rails you are crossing the line of the shot off that 3rd rail, and as I'm sure you've realized, is really tough to gauge the speed.

So instead of going three rails, just play the 4 with high inside, and come straight off the long rail. You might not get exactly to your target, but you'll end up with relatively the same angle that will provide easy position to the 6 ball.
