Clearance #360 is one of sixty six-ball layouts on this site. The white starts on the head spot and you may take the balls in any order; what counts is the number of shots, with each foul adding one.

Only ball 2 lies within 35 cm of a pocket. Most pots here are long, so pace control matters more than usual. The side pockets are the natural target for ball 2 and 6.

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

Even the Expert computer did not clear this layout within the 20-shot limit — it left 1 ball on the table. Any clearance here is a strong result.

Treat the awkward balls first. Moving a rail ball or splitting a pair while you still have easy balls left is cheaper than facing it last with nothing to fall back on.
