Imagine that you are going to sucker punch someone and they didn't see you coming.
Would you stand the same way you normally would to throw this punch.
Not hardly.
You would position your body so you could really get some momentum behind it.
But many of us stand the same way we break as when we are shooting.
Many of us even hurt our body by not being in a real good position when we break.
The feet and the body need to be in a better position to use the bodies natural leverage.
I've taught this breaking method for about 3 years on the road with great success.
Almost all the players had great results.
I'll help you with this over the phone. Just be by a table and give me a call.

Just want to help. Anytime................
Yeah, here we go ... Some very good stuff in this post.
The power break is a completely different shot than any other in pool. It demands a different stance, as well as a different mind set.
You are trying to generate POWER, plain and simple, and if applied correctly you will be able to transfer nearly all of that energy into the rack.
Think about a baseball pitcher. He throws the ball with his arm, but he generates his POWER from his lower body.
He pushes off the rubber with his back leg and then TRANSFERS all his body weight forward as he throws the pitch.
Do not pick up the cue ball and throw it across the pool room.
You must be aware of the timing as you shift your weight forward, preferable making your back leg fly up into the air, as you move your weight forward firmly accelerating the cue.
Same is true in Golf.
When hitting a drive you swing the club with your arms, but you must generate the power by transferring the weight in your lower body. Timing is critical, yet very easily found with some practice, it's really a natural thing - be it baseball, golf or pool.
Hope that helps. Now call Gene and get the rest of the story. :thumbup:
