How would you run these 5 balls and HOW?

P.S. I spoke about it in the TriPod thread.

I don't know about all the nuances, Bill, but I'm going three rails (short,long,short) and falling on one of those balls after making the ten. Probably use a fist bridge and try to get on the seven and then the 14. Good diagram....

This seems like the only answer if you're not bumping balls. And if you're bumping balls I like bumping the 14, not the 13. Also if you're bumping balls I don't see how you can be sure about the exact sequence.

The only other really predictable option I see is if you could draw cleanly under and around the 5, but that doesn't look possible without jacking up and putting a little masse on it.

Interested to see the answer...

Patrick; I have to admit, I was hoping YOU would come with the COMPLETE CORRECT answer, with the aid of the ENTIRE "SPG" community!

This way here I could make a clean seep all at once! JK

But, RE: your reply to the COMPLETE CORRECT answer, :sorry NO.

Jack up and hit down on the cueball red dot to slide around the 5

The most reliable way to get all 5 in one inning is as I described. If you were feeling lucky and wanted to decrease your chances of getting out, you could punch down with draw and left and hope to spin perfectly around the 5 without overamping the cue ball's orbit.

Any sane player would come off one of those 2 stripes and go from there.

I NEVER said I was "sane!" What do you expect from a demented, sadistic 3C player.

Straight; You're getting closer! But remember, there are 6 parts to the COMPLETE CORRECT answer! But you get a "B" for the effort!

First "B" I ever got, 3C!

Pool balls with typical cloth won't react like that. Even if you could get it to do that in your diagram, you might scratch or hit the point.

Well JT, YOU get a, "A-"! remember there are "6" parts to the Complete CORRECT answer, you got 5! How did I get around the 5 ball, look at the video in Post 34!
