WWYD-You need 3 balls...

Here's how the, 'centers' of the CB and 4 ball lineup.

You can't, 'stop dead,' because, there is slight BIG (;)) angle to cut the 4, the CB is a little closer to the short rail than the 4 ball.

Draw from the four being careful not to hit the 15 and to land on the upper side of the 5 if you touch it at all. Try to get straight on the 11, and if that works the run is easy. As long as you don't hit the 15 on the first shot, you should have either the 11 or 15.

Yup. The angle on the 4 is easily straight enough to do this, at least as shown in the pic.

The score is 6-5, your opponents favor.

The balls are not in a good position for you.

How do you get out here for the win?

4 ball, draw into 5 hard enough to go above 11, make 11 then 15. Easy

If there's not enough angle to go above the 11 off the 5, draw into the 5 then 15 going 2 or 3 rails(long short long) to get back behind 11

If it's newer cloth, the angle on the 4-ball still looks like it would allow to draw back under the 15-ball, with a nip draw stroke, no?
I tried it on middle aged Simonis 860 (with an unfamiliar house cue) and drew between the 15 and 5 with ease every time. Whatever the alternative, it isn't as easy.

I'm sure YOU have a, 'smart' phone, take a photo of the exact position in the diagram, record & post a video of YOU playing YOUR shot! Easy peezy!
 
Chris, the diagram is 100% correct!

When I post the solution diagram and the video of the me shooting the shot, you'll understand the, ;) about the angle of the slight, 'back-cut' on the 4 ball.

When you post “the solution”? There’s definitely more than one way to get out from here, homie.

No one said there wasn't more than ONE way to get out here!

I'm just demonstrating, what "I" did! You can play what you like! That's what's meant by, WWYD! :)

BTW, who's homie?
