My 10-ball Break

[Cornerman]

Sometimes, I really hate this game. The other day, I made 4 balls on the break and then the next rack I made 5 balls on the break, breaking 10-ball. Other than those, I was lucky to make a ball on the break the other zillion racks I broke. I know I'm not alone on that.

Today, I had this wonderful break. 8 balls in the head of the table within three diamonds. 10-ball didn't move. I've had a 9-ball break where every ball was in the kitchen, nothing went in. Pretty much, the pool gods laugh at me often.

I hate this game; the game hates me.

Freddie <~~~ the game is the hater

I think out of the 100+ 10 ball breaks this week, I dropped 5 balls total. I guess 10 ball just hates us.

That's what I was thinking!

Is that the place you took me, Fred?

And my buddy Ben is moving there soon, hope you 2 can hit it off.

Get SVB's training video, I know AZ'er limpkinw has them. Shane goes over his breaks for 8, 9, and 10 ball. It is worth the price to start dropping balls. Personally i really like the dvd and have watched it several times. Completely changed my 9 and 8 ball break for the better, don't play much ten ball personally.

Same table BB!

I thought I recognized that torture device.

Fine times, Fred. Thanks for having me.

Where do you normally break from, or what do you aim at?

I appreciate the suggestion, but I think you're missing that indeed this is a 10-ball break (a break that just doesn't get many balls on the break for most players) and that 8 balls ended near the kitchen. It's not like the object balls hung around the rack!

This was actually a bomb of a break (for me) and I needed to slow down my break to get better results.
