Video: Archer cleverly solves tough 14.1 problem during his 2016 DCC 74-ball run

3 ½ minute video clip. A few racks into his 2016 DCC 74-ball run in the Straight Pool Challenge, Johnny Archer has missed position on both his key ball and his break shot.

He adroitly handles the problematic break shot -- kicking out three seemingly unhelpful balls -- then skillfully achieves perfect position on a secondary break shot (via an enviably subtle little stun stroke to a point just behind the 6-ball for the side-pocket shot that gets him his angle on the now very helpful 8-ball:

Enjoy.

Yes, that's a nice recovery. Sometimes you have to accept the situation and do the best you can. Beginners might be tempted to do more with that break shot but you only need to get out two or three balls.
