[straightshooter141]

@pistolpeeroy

youre a fool

[guitarh3romast3r]

haha damn i really dont see how a common damn pool hall retard is gonna try and say whats wrong his his break and that hes doing it wrong ........

[mikesoland]

are u serious??? Archer puts his body into the break with the follow through dropping his shoulder..one of the best!.......next u will be saying Archer has a so-so break?...give us all a break!...let's see you come with some some championship 9 ball under pressure at this level then u can post your videos...and show us all how it's really done!....Morons!

[Amotaraso]

Hardcore breaks :o

[californiagil]

That's a good break.... no doubt, any pool player should be happy with these results.

[witham241]

try using a normal cue ball. those skill balls are total bullshit

[BradDawson22]

Do you think you can clear the table in less then 44 seconds? If so take the '8 Ball Pool Challenge' at Konkura.com

[9ballalex]

@BradDawson22 I saw Strickland breaking and running out in 40 sec. once

[lakunas23]

@BradDawson22 A friend of mine, a semi pro ran the rack in 28.

[youspic]

is the announcer the guy from top gear lol?

[dolta1]

i am still trying to under stand where the fuck he aims to get the 1 in the side every time very interesting break very perfecte4d one i can say

[yukokotube]

I dont *** care.. I dont scratch my cue on the table. Scratch yours if you want.. but dont come to tell me that's STYLE.

[jrkevinfang]

his break works extremely well. Whether or not it looks good is irrelevant (though frankly his form is excellent). It's not like having a gorgeous break while potting nothing will continue your turn at the table. Also, why does potting a ton of balls on the break matter? You need to make one and have a shot on the one, that's it. It's not like you can trade extra balls made for any sort of reward. Do you even understand how 9 ball works?

[TheStrokeofGenious]

@jrkevinfang Making a ball and having a shot at the lowest ball is the most important thing. But making more than one ball matters a lot. If you make 3 balls of the break, a 6 ball run and you're out. A lot easier than one ball of the break and running 8. Table is less likely to be clustered as well.

[yukokotube]

what an ugly style... pool is also a style game.

[ProdigyKimXP]

@yukokotube what? Wu, IMO has one of the best breaks in the game. These are older videos of him, watch newer ones of his break. The amount of power he uses while still controlling the cue ball perfectly (most of the time) is amazing.

[yukokotube]

@ProdigyKimXP I understand that he have a powerfull and "controled" breaks, but it still looks ugly to me. I dont see style there, I dont see a gentleman there, I see a guy who almost scratch the pool table with his cue stick and almost break his own cue stick. And sorry... I dont see that his breaks were too much effective. So much power and just one pocket ball..

[ProdigyKimXP]

@yukokotube You don't get style points in pool. Watch his match when he played o'sullivan. He was 3 balls on the break almost every rack. Remember this is just one game you're watching. You shouldn't make such assumptions about his entire break from one game. He has one of the most effective breaks in comparison to many other pros. If you watch most players, their cue bends like that when they follow through. They're not almost breaking it.

Wu is known for his beautiful breaks.

[outdoorpooltable]

@yukokotube you're a moron. everyone can tell you have never played pool to a high standard based on what you have said

[dotamaster123]

@yukokotube as what other people said to you, you're a beginner in pool based on what you said. In 9 ball, you want to run out from the break, which means you have to make at least one ball in order for you to stay on the table, and the ball that has the highest probability of pocketing it in is the one ball to the side pocket, this type of break has become the most popular and efficient in tournament play. The chance of making more balls varies, learn the math

[PhilDesigns]

@yukokotube if you knew what the fuck you were talking about, you'd understand that cues are meant to be bent because alot of hard masse shots require you to shoot straight into the table, pool tables dont "scratch" and good cues dont break from shots that are commonly made by professionals.

[yukokotube]

@PhilDesigns Thats not the point. CUES ARE MADE TO HIT THE CUE BALL, NOT THE TABLE!! Wanna hit green?, play GOLF.

[PhilDesigns]

@yukokotube what im saying is that if you watch professionals play, you will see quite commonly that their cues make contact with the table, its inevitable when a hard, professional shot is made

[yukokotube]

@PhilDesigns Just think this... If everybody jump from bridge, do you will jump too? There are Pros, that doesn't do that.  Who do you want to admire?

[boylife19]

jeff de luna is better than this

[benmaha89]

@boylife19 well this kid is like 17

[SoooBlue]

@benmaha89 he's 22 in a week.

[lakunas23]

Pretty awesome break shot, don't think he is experimenting as much as shredding the balls. It's really hard to keep the cue ball on the table with that kind of a power break. I compete on the state level and I'd almost be afraid of someone breaking like that:)

[fergamis]

@lakunas23

Agreed. A guy in my league breaks similar to Chia-Ching, 7 outta 10 times the cueball flies off the table as soon as hits the rack. I'd almost be afraid of cuing as low as he sets up..It comes up but I could just see myself becoming the proud owner of a torn green felt snuggie.

[aznelf13]

funny kypronite joke at 0:56

[tommylad1231]

Notice how his leg flies up just after he breaks?

[EnjoiJoker]

jeff de lunas is better

[lakunas23]

Wu was the world champion, why is Jeffrey better?

[EnjoiJoker]

@lakunas23 he has way more contol of the cue ball, Jeff stops the cueball right in the middle of the table and pockets atleast 3 consistently. Jeff just sucks ass at ball making.

[man165]

hard break but no control just watch that german guy named zokay i think. the white ball is always in the middle of the table after breaking.

[TheIshter]

You need to see more of Wu's break shots. He has splendid control of the cue ball.

[dasamaritan]

i like how u call it the white ball. It shows u have no understanding of billiards

[man165]

yea you're right i'm a snooker player.

[lakunas23]

Quite, and he won the world cup cos of his charming personality? He has a great break. No need for white to be in the middle if you're on the next ball... I do compete, so I know a bit about it.

[man165]

that calls luck.

[Gracioso27]

Zokay = Souquet? :)

[man165]

yes something like that :)

[TheIshter]

If you're observative, you can see that Wu's experimenting.

First two breaks, the cue ball goes to the right of the table. It was obviously risky.

Third break, he decided to hit the ball in the center, but it almost scratched. Again, risky.

Fourth and fifth break, he decided to not do the center hit, but put the cue ball on that left side rail. It's obviously better, open shots on the next ball, and putting down the one ball AND the wing ball.

[man165]

You are Wu Chia-Ching, right?:)

[stevanmilk]

u suck and u have no idea what youre talking about

[TheIshter]

Your supporting evidence of why my statements are mistaken are surprisingly convincing, dear homosexual faggot.

[poolchamp15]

@TheIshter i dont think he would experiment on a world championship ^ ^

[ProdigyKimXP]

@TheIshter What's your point? Most pros have to adjust to the way the table breaks since no two tables break the same. He's still a sensational player with one of the best breaks in the game.

[TheIshter]

lol

[Pierre8907]

That Yellow ball always seems to end up in roughly the same place, so i guess he has a little sense of control, but at speeds like that im suprised the balls dont launch into orbit.

[nikn123]

Sure he breaks hard as hell but has no sense of control. Not one break is the other alike, he's got soo much luck to get open shots every time.

[nukjnukj]

oh yes you break so well every break of yours looks similar

[nikn123]

and just look how lucky he's every time, both the cue ball and the object ball is bouncing everywhere and luckily ends up in great positions...

[TheIshter]

Are you kidding me? His break is sensational.

One ball on the side and wing ball on the lower left corner. It's not really displayed here, but his control of the cue ball for the most part is spectacular, usually stopped at the center of the table.

[s1llyvi3tb0i]

haha there's a reason why this vid is composed and put up here, the maker oviously put the best breaks here.

[dragster598]

haha "HOLY ONE BALLS BATMAN!"

[cchmaness]

This reminds me of a pro state tournament I took 4th in, the players playing for first and second, the winner of the coin toss went on to run nine racks. When asked what he would do differently the loser said," call tails".

[KiddxNeo]

:D  wowwy wowwers!

[grubbster1]

damn!

[jacpotnite]

カメラの切り替えのタイミングが････

ひとつの視点から一部始終を見せて欲しいですね。

[noobsgetpwned21]

weak

[Bluejet99]

thats probs one of the strongest breaks i have ever seen

[mousitsoula]

Many many maaaany ppl can break that hard! The difficult part is to control the cue ball (you know, not traveling to other tables,roof,behind the bar lol)

[ferveod]

or even not flying to your opponent's face.

[alpha4072]

i wish i could hit that hard

[coklaternusu]

c0me 0n..

lets smack that ass..

break the table..

LMFAO..

[gmizafac]

hsnioate you are really a pain in the ass.stop being an old smartass and stfu already

[ruellersss]

Shit break

[hsnioate]

Really? A ball on the break and a wide open table with no trouble spots? After a break like that, even *I* could run the damn thing out.

[fatfishcookie]

the break hi uses is the same tehnique that charlie briant teaches you willl find the tuotrial hiere on youtube sorry for my english

[weberinterior]

i used to break like that. but now im a lot better.

[umobolen]

Great breaks. He is allways on a ball after the break, and the cue ball stays in the middle of the table. Exelent!

[hiervince]

actually me and wu have the same break technique and power so i always calibrate my cue tip during a game

[hsnioate]

How does one "calibrate" a cue tip? If it's properly shaped to begin with, there's nothing that needs to be done (besides chalk) during a game.

[hiervince]

yup i calibrate it, and i dont use chalk that much, make my fingers dirty.

[hsnioate]

I ask again: How does one "calibrate" a cue tip? What is it that you do that you define as "calibrate"?

[hiervince]

to adjust

[hsnioate]

"to adjust" WHAT?

[hiervince]

the cue tip of course

[hsnioate]

The person that installed the tip on the shaft should have already done whatever adjustment is necessary while gluing and fitting the tip (sizing and shaping--without applying any chalk) and since this was all done prior to you ever touching your cue after having the new tip installed, I ask again: What calibration or adjustment do you claim to be making to the tip?

[kesbiee]

The shape obviously. Just because whoever installed the tip has shaped it, doesn't mean that it's the desired shape for the player using it.

Especially during long periods of play (e.g. tournaments) your playing tip will flatten and or warp due to the repeated compression.

Depending on the break tip (especially if you're breaking the balls that hard), the tip will most likely lose your desired optimum shape after 20+ games.

Therefore one must make tip "calibrations" during play.

[ThatJuggalo816]

(cont.)

An adjustment is changing your aim point (often requires a re-set of your shooting position) or contact point on the cue ball (usually a slight repositioning of your bridge or bridge hand).

He was using all of these terms pretty much interchangeably and they don't apply the same way in all cases.

The point is, his answers weren't answering my question in a way that made sense to me, that's why I kept asking.

[hiervince]

to make shots better like more draw

[hsnioate]

You are still half-answering the question.

What are you doing to make the shots better? What are you calibrating? What are you doing to make the shots better?

Please be very specific.

[hiervince]

aiming properly,loose grip,calibrated tip and enough elevation happy now?

[hsnioate]

No, because you persist in avoiding the very first question I asked you.

Here it is again, cut-n-pasted from my first comment to you (it could also have been pulled from several other places) : How does one "calibrate" a cue tip?

[hiervince]

lets just end this phenomena of questions and be quiet now.

[hsnioate]

Yeah, we can stop this. We have determined that you know not whereof you speak. I can live with that.

[hiervince]

thank you

[hitman89141]

beast!!
