WWYD 14.1 after break shot?

cut the 6 was my choice if i can´t find anything else... i just felt there was couple high chance scratches after cueball hit to rail and then 11. i think it was over 70 degree cut and i was not playing my own cue.
 
Great shot.

If it goes past the 11 I like the 2 straight into the upper right corner. Pop that cluster open with a simple stop shot.

I did remember i made similar WWYD in FB back in days i used it so let´s do re run of that WWYD part 2
Find offensive shot! 10 is not open to corner.

I have not played straight pool in decades, but that is what I would shoot to be aggressive.

What I'd prefer to do is spin the 10 in. Looks on in the pic so_that_ regardless of the actual layout. Having learned from your first example your shot might be 15, 3, 4, 8 with assist from looks like the 13?

You have kaisa eyes. What's wrong with the three ball combination?
 
Wow, impressive! Reminded me of Irving Crane’s shot vs Balsis at the beginning of his famous 150-and-out run!
We used to call them wrap-around shots (CB travels in one direction and a chain of combo/caroms/kisses sends the OB back in pretty much the opposite direction). As Cisero used to say: "Making them is easy . .. . finding them is harder."

Broken down to essentials, they're wired and usually involve a quite a forceful hit on the first ball in the chain (and unavoidably, whitey is turned loose). I'm guessing that most longtime 14.1 addicts will very happily spot and pocket at least a dozen of these stunning jam-extricating, crowd-pleasing beauties during a pool playing lifetime. I've found and made about nine of them since 1952; guess I've got at least three more coming to me. :)

Depending on the score, if Poolmanis's dilemma arose for me in a tournament and there was zero to go for, I'd take three intentional scratches and gamble that I could execute a good reopening break from the kitchen from which my opponent could only reply with a safety. And we'd have a safety back-and-forth after that.

Couldnt understand the logic or physics of the shot.
Do you mind explaining ?
How did the 2 roll backwards
there is trick shot that is called U-turn shot. this have same principle. basically it is just 4 ball combo 3rd ball hit 2 ball thin and cut it to pocket. That why i had to hit it hard. Those shots are easier to find after you seen them done by others. Then you can always think if there is something back to that pocket. If you have not seen shot like that it is hard to find because you wont be searching for it.

I was 95% of sure to making a shot. 5% uncertain came if something come disturb to 2 while it is slowly coming back. I don´t like to shoot under 90% shots even in practice unless i am curious what happening.
 
Ok. here is part 2 video. If you want to make a guess still don´t watch it before guess :)
Very impressive, again! Just curious what your high run is and how many 100+ runs you’ve had in your lifetime?

I’m guessing 200+, and likely more 100+ ball runs than you can remember?

My high run is only 154 that was small gambling match. I don't play often because no one except one guy want to play 14.1 vs me here. Sometimes i can go half year without even practice it. Sometimes i get inspired and practice it a lot couple weeks. It seems i cant keep focus long time unless i got pressure or bet. I think 30+ 100+ runs.
Last year summer i did more it and was able to run 100+ 5 days in row.
