I got my first in 8 ball about 2 months ago, now I just got my first in nine! I broke, made the two ball, and here was the layout:

CueTable Help

How would you guys have ran this out? Just wanting to see if I had the right thought process.

Good work. This layout can be tricky.

My route would be:

Stop on the one or slight follow, just enough to get an angle on the three.

Pocket the 3 with low right to get the cueball below the eight for a slight angle on the four.

Two key shots here. Low left on the four to pop off the rail, back up for the five. We want a angle on the five similar to when you started so we can hit the five with stun or slightly below center, drifting into the side rail below the second diamond and out for a shot on the six in the same pocket. If you fall on the other side of the five, depending on your angle, you can go high/ high/left into the top rail and spin underneath the nine into the bottom rail and pop out for the six. Just don't want to be straight in on the five.

Make the six, pop out a few inches for an angle on the seven. Shoot the seven with high left, spinning around to the middle of the table for the eight.

Draw back for the nine.

I tried a few ways and like playing the 3 and hugging the side rail. play the 4 easy top left and make effort to stay on the left side of 5 when facing shot. This gives a chance to roll using natural angles and not forcing across table with center ball. I had best results pocketing the 5 and playing 2 rails out just below 9 (side rail over to other side rail and out a diamond). I slow rolled the 6 and played 7 with left only. This widened the angle more requiring less of a power shot on the 8. Played the 8 and CB off side and side out for 9. This worked 4/5 times...

I tried the 7 with top left and it put me on the wrong side of the 8 (blind pocket) or left a long power draw shot. Just left or bottom right going below 9 and off side worked best.

I wasn't using a cutec cue, I was using a house cue. I'm getting my first cue soon!

That was just about what I was thinking, but when I hooked myself on the 4 mad: ) behind the eight I had to hit cushion first and go around table for the 5, which I landed completly straight on . I tried to cheat the pocket and I JUST came far enough. I couldn't see the 6 but I knew it was a very easy shot to play cushion first, it was completly straight to the cushion. I came above the 9 for the 7, drew back for the nine and then very nearly missed a straight in shot!
