Run This (44)

CueTable Help



The 10-11 cluster is obviously the problem area, so I'd want to get rid of that ASAP. There are plenty of other ways to get around the 10-2-1 pattern even if my shape on the 10 isn't perfect. I like having the 1 there as an insurance ball to get back in line after getting rid of the cluster, even if that means I have to move the cueball a little bit.
 
How about this. I know the 1 doesn't seem like a good key ball, but the angle is pretty simple off of the 4.

Just speaking of the end pattern, I think I like the 1, 4, 8 over the 4, 1, 8.

Huh, I didn't know that you had the angle to play the 2 that way and get under the 10-11. That's a nice, simple run out. I like it.

Yeah, I guess it depends on what feels comfortable. I think I went with the 1 last because it doesn't really matter where you end up after the 4. If it were reversed, you could potentially get just a little bit strange or straight in on the 4 off of the 1. But I think it's just a matter of choice in this case. Both seem fine. They both lie above the line that goes through the break ball from the break ball's corner pocket. So it's hard to get bad either way. I'm curious what others think about this point.
 
3andstop, what do you think about getting rid of the 2 while you're down there for the 10 so you don't have to retrieve it later. You can then go 8,13 at the end.

Edit: Oh I just realized that's what tsw did in his pattern.

Yeah, that 1-ball is easy to forget about.

I had figured it in my run, but just forgot to type it in. Kind of like not following through on a stroke... I dogged it. And it was a hanger...

I like the 14, 4, 1, 8. But I'd try to keep an angle on the four to lay the cueball on the top rail near the one. Then it's easier to control the cueball off the one with a full hit and right spin.

Playing to get on or near the rail for a hanging ball is a basic rule of position, imo.

Pfft. UnknownPro doesn't post with an Australian accent.

I never gave that any thought. Thanks for the tip. Imagining that position on the rail does feel easier to me.
Oh, and I dig Ron Paul too. Seems like a genuine person.
