Hello ,
I , after 19 or so years have been trying to get my game back. I have been actively playing about 3 times a week now and we play 8 ball mostly . I had been breaking from the side and do pretty well that way but wanted to improve the power of my break and after watching the match Between Mosconi and Fats in the great pool shootout it seem's Mosconi always broke from the same place and got a scatter on the balls and seem to keep the Cue ball were he had a shot. I have since been breaking from that spot and does seem I get a good scatter but would like to break with some more speed. I line the cue ball with the 1 spot on the side rail and 1st spot on head rail and I make my bridge on the headrail and then break. What drills or methods or tricks can I use to maybe add a little more power in my breaks , Thanks
