I cannot get a decent 9 ball break and am looking for any help than I can get. I know that every table has it's "sweet spot" but it seems that the better players get a more consistent break no matter where they shoot from. I also realize that speed and hitting the one ball full on have a lot to do with it.
My problem seems to be I cannot get a decent break unless I hit down on the CB which causes it to jump up towards the light. If I'm a hair off, whitey is going off the table. I try breaking from the side with a level cue and I just can't get the action. Also I tend to hit just a hair under center ball.
I hear the term cut break. Is that hitting the one ball just off to one side or the other, or using a tad of english?
I also try and follow through on the break but do have a tendency to punch the CB. I'm working on that.
Thanks for the support.
