Cluster Draw

I start by placing the 2 ball two ball widths out from the cut of the side pocket, with its front edge even with the point of the side pocket. (Figure 1)

I freeze the 3 ball to the 2 ball so their tangent line points to the short rail point of the corner pocket. (Figure 2)

I freeze the 1 ball to the 2 and 3 balls. The cue ball is placed just to the right of the tangent line of the 1-3 balls. (Figure 3)

I aim for >1/2 ball hit on the 3 ball, hitting it first, then caroming over to the 1. Use straight draw to get back for the 5 ball.
