  • @swlryan youre either shooting down on the cue ball causing it to hit above center on the one ball, or the one ball is sitting in a divot on the head spot, causing the cue ball again to hit above the center....take some heat off your break shot and focus more on a solid hit with control. accuracy out weighs power on the break!

  • yea cuz the BreakRak I looks like a penis

  • Just buy a deluxe BreakRak II break trainer.

  • hey thanks guys for all ur help!! will try it out next time i play =]

  • keep your cue as level as possible, any downward force towards the table, the cue ball will tend to fly when it hits the rack, as simple as that. close bridge is recommended, or in the case of 9 ball, when you have to break close to the rail, firmly press your cue on the rail with your palm, and use two-finger bridge. you may see how pros break and how their cues are level

  • Pretty smart idea.

  • aim for the dead center of the cue ball, and keep your cue stick parallel to the tabble. like Smaxey843 said below, if you aim down at the cue ball, you will push it into the table, causing it to bounce up.

  • try being hyper aware of how elevated your stick is. if you have it angled downwards your putting alot of force into the table, and not into pushing the ball along the surface of the table. typically this is why the majority of balls go flying...

    also some debris on the table (small rocks or something like that) could act as a ramp for the cue ball.

  • my cue ball usually flies off the table when i break.. any help on that?? thanks

  • yeah you don't have to be a noob to break bad. I have a decent break and I run about 1 out of 5 games of 9 ball. however I often play people far better than me that would run out 4 out of 5 games if it weren't for their crappy breaks. break is the most important shot of the game, even for noobs
