At least one ball was made on 168 of these 192 breaks -- the 159 successful breaks plus all 9 fouled breaks That's 88%. And 55% of the games were run out by the player at the table after the break. For skilled breakers using a template, 10-Ball now suffers from the same problems that plagued 9-Ball -- "dead" balls on the break, repetitious layouts after the break, and limited interplay among the players.
A few years ago I suggested trying 10-Ball with the 10-ball on the spot. The Renfro experimented with it a bit and thought it might have some value for addressing those issues, but the subject seemed to get dropped. I'd like to see it tried in some pro event, perhaps a challenge match between good 10-Ball breakers (rather than in a big tournament), to see how it would fly.
Another possibility is to leave the 1-ball on the spot, but use a break box that moves the cue ball away from the center area of the table. Some of Appleton's 8-Ball events did that, and Van Boening played a 10-Ball challenge match with Chinakhov 4 years ago using side-rail break boxes.
