ps check the angle of his arm as soon as the break starts. its at 90° from start to finish. He uses his shoulder muscle wich is much more powerfull then the biscepts. Also his body movement, hip twisting + weight shifting, shows clearly that he uses his body to put the weight in the stroke. his timing is perfect! the only thing that i dont like, is he slaming his cue on the rail in the vertical down movement.... poor table, poor cue

[Solartje]

its the best way to get power (or speed in this case) without losing accuracy . It alows you to slowly and accuratly increase speed without your tip moving forward. After the vertical movement, you can still keep your cue level (the butt of the cue is on the rail at impact) and folow through correctly. Simply stated it gives you double the time to reach to max speed, compared to a purely horizontal stroke. The more time you get, the less jurky the movement is. This break is a piece of art

[Solartje]

well this video is purely ment for those who like to understand the power break technique. dont worry about the balls, if you get the technique right, the balls will spread! :)

[Solartje]

its a slowed down version of a slow motion. if u would speed it up to natural speed, u would get alot of more frames then 30 fps... so its kinda a high speed camera :p

[cookiesaint]

wicked, his cue bends like hell

[naughttube]

this isn't high speed...look at the poor quality

he almost broked his cue

@Solartje i think slamming his cue downwards would be unnecessary and something he would be able to control, and either way he doesn't appear to do so in this clip?

Why does this have more dislikes than likes? This is incredible to be able to analyze Hohmann's break in slow motion. I remember watching this actual match, IPT against Marlon Manalo.

@Solartje

I'd be willing he uses his torso to generate the movement and everything else is completely subconscious. If you watch closely you can see his torso leads every single movement in the stroke. Everything else is an effect of his desire for his torso to move forward.

@ProdigyKimXP True that. Cheers.

@SuperPekka OK. You think a sport has to be physical. That's cool. We all have our opinions. I was just sharing mine. Best.

[SuperPekka]

@SnareBuff Sounds reasonable. And I do think that people who play billiards aren't equal to, say, hockey players, as sportsmen. Not even close. A fat bloke with a good set of hands and brains would be able to compete in billiards, or so I think at least. Put a fat bloke in a hockey rink and he'd pass out after two minutes on the ice.

I think chess is comparable to billiards: It's not exactly a sport, but it does require talent and years of practicing to become good at.

[SuperPekka]

@ProdigyKimXP Chess requires immense concentration, skill, etc, but I wouldn't consider it a sport. A sport is a combination of physical prowess, skill and hard work. I can't describe it better than that. If you compare the physicality in hockey to that of billiards... well billiards is not exactly on the same level is it?

Billiards is more of like chess and less like a sport. That being said, I can appreciate the skill and hard work that billiards requires. It's just not a sport for me.

@SuperPekka Jeaneatte Lee said something like: Y cant Michael Jordan make a free throw every time? He can make shots when ppl r rushing all around him but y does he miss free throws? Its the same shot every time! Its cause u have every moment to doubt urself, get nervous, and choke. For pool players, every shot is a free throw. If u consider a sport a game where ur panting and out of breath, pool isnt a sport. But if a sport is something that requires immense concentration, skill, etc etc....
