I'm hoping people on here can settle a debate I'm having on a snooker forum...
My theory is that the 9-Ball break involves a lot of skill, hence players like SVB, Corey etc. have an advantages in say long races where winner breaks.
However I also clarify this by saying there is luck involved in the break, as if there was not every pro player would pot the 9 on every break.
The counter argument is that there is no luck involved in the break at all and that it is a shot of pure skill.
I promised I would start a thread on AZ to the guy I was arguing with and I also said that you would all side with me...so here goes...who is correct here?
(On the off chance anyone is interested, assuming it doesn't break forum rules, here is the original thread on a snooker forum: http://www.thesnookerforum.co.uk/board/threads/56192-Who-has-the-biggest-skill-set)
