This Keeps Happening

I use the Outsville template for breaking racks of 9B. And as you all know I have been breaking those racks on my new Diamond Professional. The issue is that I usually end up with about four balls all close together as shown in the diagram. In this case it's the 4B, 5B, 6B, and 9B. The 6B blocks the 5B into the upper corner and the 9B blocks the 5B into the bottom corner. Thus position from the 4B to the 5B is very difficult. All these balls so close together has been making runouts very difficult for me.

My question is simply - is this normal for a template?

I wouldn't know. Put the 5 elswhere/do something different with the cue ball/shoot the 4 from center table so you can land on the 6 and shoot the 5 in the side.
 
for every table and rack you have to experiment on where and how hard to hit the head ball and from where to put the cue ball.

but that layout is decent one to run out from.

That was my thought... 👍

OP, are you racking in the exact same numerical order every time? Pattern racking?

To my eye even if I'm not out, that's a pretty yummy looking rack after the break.

No, not racking the balls the exact same way every time. I just used the 4B, 5B, and 6B as the example in this diagram. It could be any of the balls.

And it might look yummy but going from the 4B to the 5B is the key shot in this rack. Doesn't look like there is much there to me. I know I could not get this out. Maybe Efren or SVB could, who knows.
