In clearance #334 six numbered balls wait on the cloth and the white sits on the head spot. There is no opponent and no fixed order — only the count of shots, fouls included.

No ball lies within 35 cm of a pocket. Expect long pots from the start and give yourself room for error by playing the safest one first. The side pockets are the natural target for ball 3 and 4.

No two balls are touching, so every ball can be played on its own.

Playing with no aiming error, our Expert computer cleared this layout in 7 shots, potting in the order 3 → 6 → 1 → 5 → 4 → 2. 2 of its shots potted nothing: they were position or safety shots to set up an easier pot.

A tidy target is to match the Expert: one shot per ball plus a spare. Keep the white near the middle of the table and the next pot will always be close.
