Just by looking at this I would say getting the correct position on the 4 is the most challenging part.

I agree. The key shot of the rack is playing from the 2 to the 4. If you get good on the 4, the rack becomes easy for a decent player. If you get bad, the rack can become nearly impossible. Of course, going from the 1 to the 2 sets up this key shot, and so that's very important as well. Once you have a good shot on the 5, the positional margins of error get very large, and the recovery options if you get on the wrong side of the ball get much more feasible.

Does the 5 go in the bottom left corner or no? Just curious before I go home and set this up tonight.

Also, I didn't see any notes about not disturbing any other balls. I remember that in previous challenges. If you can bump a ball I see no problem with pocketing the 4, using the 9 as a stopper and shooting the 5 in the side.

That was exactly what I was looking at too....

I'll record this when I get home. I can't win since I won the last one, but I'll still record it just for fun.

I would say it does, but you have to drive down the left lane as Lil Joe calls it. I would say you have a 1/2 pocket past the 6.

Wei may have intended for it to NOT go but you can only be so precise when placing the balls on a 2D table.

The 5 will not going into the bottom left corner. :embarrassed2:

No rules about isturbing balls for this contest. :)
 
Do you win anything if you play the 1-ball to carom the 9-ball to bank into the 7-ball to carom into the side pocket for the win? :D

Quite challenging yes...

Actually in the video, the pro player got out of line once. He found a way to save himself back in the game :)
