i have been experimenting with my break lately. i finally found what works best for me on 7's. 1 diamond off the head rail ....3'' to the right of center diamond ...using half of my full power. works great for both 8 and 9 ball. here are this weeks result for me.
Thanks!
I didn't see this until now or I would have tried it this weekend. I didn't play league but went up to a barbox 10 ball tournament in Syracuse. I had the cueball about 3" to the right of center and just behind the head string. My breaks were OK... had quite a few dry breaks but at least the cue ball stayed on the table.
I didn't do badly in the tournament, even though I lost my first and only match. The tournament format is single elimination, each match is best-of-3 sets. The first two sets are races to 5 and the third is a race to 3. I lost the first two sets 5-4 5-4. Both times that I was on the hill I should have gotten out but just made simple mistakes that lost the game for me. I didn't expect to be as competitive as I was so I went away feeling pretty good.
It's really nice to play on good 7' tables (Diamonds) that don't have funny rolls and a cue ball that weighs the same as all the others.
