good job try slow motion in your editing to show the body mechanics I get it though thanks
-
very nice i see the timing for the wrist. its RIGHT before the cue hits the ball cause the cue is aimed low due to the upper arm movements. This brings it back up to transfer the power. Am I right so i can practice? :)
-
do you use a closed bridge? :)
-
what break cue you are using in the video?
-
I'm so f#cking trying this o.O

You should make a video of you breaking 9ball and 10ball racks! I would love to see you power break a rack of those games, just to see what the advantages and disadvantages are in using this much power on the break.
-
you hit them hard as hell considering your using an open bridge. No instructor would teach you that especially if your going for power.

@Feicht Many pros use both the power break and the soft break when it's appropriate.
It's harder to control the cueball with more power, but it's not impossible, and power breaking has it's advantages.
You should watch Wu Chia-Ching. When he played O'Sullivan, He was power breaking, had just about perfect cueball control (one shot was flawless IMO and the commentators), and potted 3 balls almost every break.
You earn alot more than scratches power breaking once you learn how to use it.

nice break, if you can keep cb in center of table with that you are dangerous:)

@JayY1977 sure, why not take your social security cheque or allowance with you and go play with him
Ever heard something about cueball control? The only thing u earn with this are tons of scratches.
look at the cue ball at 0:34

I didn't edit out the CB bouncing off the table by the center pocket.
It is purely a demonstration of producing power. Something that is useful in some 8-ball and 10-ball breaking situations where power increases the chances of making a ball on the break significantly.
It will also help some people who want to add more power to their 9-ball break.
Off course CB control is critical. When you can produce power with relative ease, you can focus more on the CB control aspect of the break.

only 70%? I would have hoped for 90% potting off break with that power....I noticed you scratched on one of the breaks too...how often do you do that with this break? And Colin...could you tell me where to put the Cue ball when you break and which ball to hit in the pack?

In the IPT stats showed the pros averaged around 60% on those tables. Fast tables with bigger pockets increase the %.
For where to break and strategies would take an hour video at least. Maybe one day I'll do more videos about the break. This one is soley about power. :-)
