The only thing is, I'd probably go about the first 4 shots like this: (Very little cue ball movement needed.)
Here's another possible pattern. These balls are kind of all over the place, so the cue ball has to travel a bit. You might need to throw the 8 a little if the 5 is in the way (or better yet, choose a different pattern).

Ooh that's tight Dan. I'd be afraid to go that way. If you don't get perfect on the 8 you have little insurance. I do like the way you did the first 4 balls of the other pattern.
Here's one that although it has some cueball travel, shouldn't get into trouble, because the shot off the 4 is aimed to a zone of 2 or three shots. If I go long I have the 5 or 8. If I come up short I have the 6 to get on the 3,5, or 8. The 2-cushion route to the 1 ball is natural and the 1-ball key ball lies in an area where you almost have to get a decent angle on the break ball.

Well, since no one else has went this way...
Since no one else has went this way... just don't be too harsh on the new guy. Not too much cue ball movement except from the 5 to the 9.

I agree. The only thing I see that may not be likely is to hold up the cueball on the first two shots exactly as they're drawn. I think the shot off of the 6-ball may drift a little further and leave a slightly more difficult cut on the 2-ball which may then have to be bounced off of the side rail. But I still think the sequence would work.
Edit: Maybe I'm seeing the angles wrong on the cuetable on this one. It looks to me if you cheat the pocket maybe you can hold the cueball for the 6. I don't know. The 2-ball looks a little harder to hold than the 6. But maybe cushions are not necessary.

I know, I know. It's a bit tight, but I'm pretty sure I could park the cue ball on the rail plus or minus a couple of inches. My first pattern was to draw off the six for the 3, then get the 5 and 8, but following to the rail seemed easier than forcing position with a longish draw to get to the 3.
