When breaking, sometimes you have more success moving the cue ball left or right from your starting position, sometimes even moving it closer or farther from the kitchen line can make a difference too.
44 Breaks & Only 3 Chances

My GC is a monster. It breaks better than any table I ever broke on. It’s definitely the arrow not the archer. Seriously add another row of balls to the bottom of the rack. It will improve the chances of making some. Good luck BAMB… Break A Million Balls. Or let someone else break for you. OR.. try a larger heavier cue ball.
Question is.. can you break and run? Be more concerned with getting out.

Sorry, I wrote poorly. I dont understand how moving it further or closer would change much. It's not like the ball can loss a lot of energy or occuracy moving it 10cm back.
Note that I am a bad player and I don't care much for the break. I like it extra random.
Where are you breaking from?
Where's your aim point.
The cue ball hops on way to the rack.
And can we see pictures of the layouts, right?
He doesn't really answer questions that people post to help him get better.
The most asked question which he doesn't answer is, when you throw 4 balls out and take BIH, do you get out, 5 balls, 6 balls? Where are you having problems and start there.
I have decided not to respond to the OP anymore because of this. He can ignore this or take it as constructive. I decided not to make sarcastic or biting comments either. The OP doesn’t like them but maybe can’t see a relationship between what he posts and the responses they provoke. I don’t know. Maybe he’s trolling. Maybe serious. I can’t know. But when no response is helpful and maybe is harmful, why bother? Maybe shouldn’t bother reading the posts, but I probably will. I hope DCP figures it out.
Whatever u12armresl said it is complete and total horsesh~t. He's done this many times. One mod referred to him as an a$$hole. Don't let this idiot influence you.
As far as answering questions - I have done that many times. Maybe not in this thread but certainly in other threads.
I've even posted pics of the layouts that I complain about.

Looks fine to me. Maybe get the cueball up table if you're not making the one in the side. What's wrong with these?
The spreads look fine. They are both very runable maybe not from where the cue ball is but nothing wrong with the way the balls are spread out.
The pros average about 30% B n R. That means they fail 70% of the time. Us amateurs can’t expect to get anywhere near that percentage.
Even the times we break and make a ball and have a good shot at the lowest numbered ball we are still going to fail a lot. Every one’s skill level is different so an individuals skill level will dictate how many times we get out from there.
It’s just the nature of the beast.
Rack the balls, break the balls. Take ball in hand to attempt the runout.
Read carefully what 9BallKY said in the above post.
Take advantage of the runout when it presents itself. Learn how to duck until that happens.
Remember,
It's not the table or any of it's components. It's not the cue, its not the tip.
It's You!!

Uhhhh, what???
It looks fine to you???
Considering there is no chance to break n' run here I'm not sure how it looks fine. It's this type of spread that seemingly happens almost all the time. Just no chance.
Uhhhhh, what?????
I know you, I've played with you, I've played in the same tournaments as you have, I know about your brother, I know about how difficult you are to deal with, and still I tried to help you.
You haven't answered 1/10th of the questions asked of you including throwing balls out on the table and trying to get out.

You're having problems breaking with a magic rack. That's just from not practicing.
Mark,
Wrong. I'm on here alot. That idiot poster always - ALWAYS - trashes and bashes me. And for some reason he gets at times other people believing him. He's done it to me tons of times. And I've complained to a Mod about him. The mod admitted he was an a$$hole.

I'm no pro so I don't expect a perfect break. If I get a good spread and a ball down, I'm happy. A look at the 1, I'm over the moon. An actual chance to run out...forget about it.
