I dont have a huge break either (low, low 20's on radar) but its just good enough that I can usually make straight up the middle work. The important thing to me is landing CB center table. Just way too much congestion with 2nd ball breaks, so many times every ball ends up on one side of the table.I like the 2nd ball break too. My break power is weak as a kitten so I use it for more action on the balls.
