Except there isn't one tough shot on a barbox for a good player who is used to playing on 9 footers. So its all about the cueball and adhering to 8 ball strategy to get through racks or duck if you can't.

There are more clusters. They happen more often even after good breaks. While any pro has a very good chance (and even a decent player has some chance) of breaking them up and leaving a shot, they are not 100% - so there is a degree of toughness to them, even more so for 9ft players.

These can’t be right because of all the people who indicate pros can’t miss on toy tables and they run out every time. The B&R % has to be 90%+ and somebody had an alternate break 10 pack right? Winner break there would surely have been a 20 pack. 😇

I appreciate these because IME people overestimate the B&R % at all levels - from the pros to their local leagues and tournaments. So when a good package is put together I actually think it isn’t appreciated enough. And when we break and run one we should be a little happy and not say to ourselves, well, the pros do that every single time, it’s super easy on this table, etc….

Agree. We tend to remember the highlights. We all know that player who is known as someone who breaks and runs "all the time" because he ran a four pack once and he's b&r'd all of us at least once at some point in time at a crucial moment (usually when we have just missed our chance to put the pressure back on him). But he's probably only 10% b&r at best.
