and breaking from "the box" were rules put in place
to make break result less predictable/effective for the breaker
is that right?
watching replays of all these (great) accu-stats vids
it seems the breaker is usually making a wing ball
and/or the one is falling into the side pocket
the biggest disadvantage that I can see
is that because they're using a cut break to make balls
the cue ball scratches more often/gets lost
than if players were squatting the rock
wondering two things:
is this analysis accurate?
and
given the experience we've had with these rules
should nine on the spot still be the status quo?
as a (related) aside, the "compliance" rule drives me nuts..
nothing worse that a player hittin em good, and getting no love
because their break was "non-compliant":thud:
