how would you run these 6 balls?

What I want to know is, how would you get out from here?!

You may not believe this, but I actually did it. Here's how:
START(
%Uo7I9%Vh2I5%W[6J2%X[3Q9%Yg7I7%Zg5S2%[l8P0%\g9O6%]X5I1%^a1I0
%_D2J1%`I2R8%aL4O3%bL9P3%cO0R3%dU2I0
)END
 
Like others have said, getting good on the 5 is the key. If there is no scratch on the 4 ball(can't tell on the WEI), I like this:

START(
%Dh3Z3%EJ1G8%Fq9U9%G]7M0%HW5O4%IC8H9%P^1T7%Q_4H8%Rb6F7%Sf7E2
%T[9K0£^6%We8Y8%X^8U5%Yr4L2%Zf5Y9%[K4I2%\]9I0%]l6N9%^T5Z5
%eB5`2%_`4H4%`m8C8%ar3J6%bR7Z7%cD3N9%dI6I4
)END

Shoot the 4 with a high CB to go 3 rails for position on the 5. I think this route is less speed sensitive and more forgiving than coming across the table. I would be worried about hitting the side-to-side bad and possibly scratching or dying too close to the rail or bumping the 7 ball or...Going 3 rails, stopping the CB at "A" is ideal but "B", & "C" is ok too, as well as "D". Playing the 5, going two rails for the 6 should get you out.

I think people have a tendancy to "let up" here and lose focus...a little lazyness here and you hit slightly lower than you intended and the CB ends up stuck to the 7 or a little high and your froze to the side rail and you thinking to yourself.."what the hell did I just do"...at the same time "all of a sudden" your opponent is now sitting very upright in his chair...

I see many a B player getting out of position from the 6 to the 7 and then "kicking themselves" for screwing up an easy out......

I will probably be told I am dead wrong.....and I probably am....but that is just the way I see it...

I think you're dead on, Ken.
It's made a big difference to me to recognize how often I do 'let up' at about the point of this 6 ball. Get on the wrong side and everything does get goofy.
Playing 2 rails off the 6 is not only more natural, but you are following into position, rather than hoping to stop 'in line'

I originally posted something but, because I'm a loser with too much time on my hands (and a table in what would be my formal dining room), I set the balls up pretty much exactly as they are in the diagram (using the diamonds as reference points, of course) and ended up deleting my original post. :D It turns out that there is actually more room on a real pool table to work with than what it looks like in the diagram so ... I'd play it like this. It seems pretty obvious though, doesn't it? I think I like cuetechasaurus' answers better. :)

CueTable Help



(by the way - I know that some people like just cinching it and taking a longer shot on the 5, but if you get too close to that second rail, not only does the shot get a little testy, but the 7 and 8 are in your natural, 2-rail path to the 6. From close to that side rail, you'll have to hit it with inside to avoid those balls. Set it up on a real pool table and you'll see.)

Hilarious - that's exactly how I would do it too but I was too lazy to use all the arrows. I was concentrating more on the position from the 5 to the 6. A lot of it depends on how comfortable a player is directing the cueball off the rail after contact with the 4. I happen to like these shots, using about a half tip of right.
