The most traditional break shot to continue a run or open a rack is lined up for a corner pocket behind the rack with a natural line towards the rack.
As a novice attempting the same break shot, its common for me to either freeze to the rack or end up scratching.
The behind the rack break shot seems to help eliminate those problems.
The question I pose is how much does the break shot influence the table layout for a rack run. As a player with flaws and weak areas in the game which priority should be served first, playing to control the table (playing safe) or playing to maintain the run (low percentage positions).
