I don't get it, are you allowed to break like that? And, if you are, whats so difficult about that shot?

In the DCC Straight Pool Challenge, you set up your own break shot to start the run. This video was posted to honor Pat's memory & his distinct slip-stroke style, which made him a legend of the game. The shot isn't difficult - but the way he strokes the ball is amazing. There seems to be this BS about every shot on youtube needs to be impossible - or amazing - but if you play the game at the highest level, everything will look easy - and that is the case in this video.
