How To Play 8 Ball Pool: Billiard Tips & Techniques : How To Rack & Break in Pool

The 1 goes in the front, and the 8 in the middle of an 8-Ball rack, and if 3 balls hit a rail, and a ball gets pocketed it's still a leagal break.

@azoldtime09 No he was right. 8-ball in the middle one stripe and one solid in the lower corners. The 1-ball does not need to be in front. Also it's a legal break if any numbered ball goes into a pocket OR at least 4 balls hit a rail.

@elfonacid then why do alot of people put the 1 on top, if you don't need to in 8-Ball.

That was a pretty good instructional vid (comiing from an old hand)). The delivery was a little stilted (please don't take any offense) but otherwise perfect in information. :D
