Maybe some of the higher level players will give their opinions.
I played the Carom Room in Beloit this weekend. Ended up 9-13, so I was happy since I'm a $10 calcutta player.
What I did notice on day 2 were many high level players playing much differently the 2nd day. Some were soft breaking, some were playing extra slow.
So my question is why? I could see if you were down in the set and wanted to soft break to avoid a runout by your opponent. But to me, if you change your PSR, break, or timing routine, it's a disadvantage to yourself.
Any feedback from either side on this? People who do, or people who don't?
