Run This (33)

Here's my attempt. I'm sure there are better ways to do this, but it's what i came up with. I also thought about using the 10 as the BB

Generally speaking don't you sacrifice something by taking the below-the-rack break? I'm not questioning the decision here, just wondering how you weigh the choices.

this looks like a pretty high percentage out to me. i would have tried to use the more traditional break ball.The more i look at it though it looks like i'm much more likely to get out of line trying to do it

The reason I chose the behind the rack break shot is because of all the break ball options
(10, 13, 15)
the 10 ball had 3 very easy key ball options -
(11, 12, 13)
To me, this makes the 10 ball my primary break ball option -
It's easy to get to the 10 with either the 12 or 13 and you just have to set up a pattern to get there, which given this layout wasn't very hard at all - and it can be accomplished with minimal cue ball control.
I've seen too many runs end for players by them not taking what is already there at the table. In this case, the 10 is there with multiple key balls, which takes MY attention away from the side of the rack break balls.

My first rough draft type of run without really thinkin' about it... so this is probably pretty close to how it would play out in real life... rushed and outta line

I think you are being a little optimistic on your cue ball position on the 12 and then 11 balls. I don't think there is any way possible to keep the cue ball movement so small. In particular, there's no way to pocket the 12 without the cue ball hitting the foot rail.

well... now that it's at the start of the day, not at the end.... I have to agree with you Dan. That would be pretty precarious positioning, not very likely
In all honesty, I probably wouldn't get out here... I would come up with a pattern and then blow shape, and end up having to take the 15 ball or the 13 ball out of turn.... and screw it all up lol
But here's sorta what I would aim to do.
