Average pro break speed...
- Thread starter peppersauce
- Start date
I think SVB is around 22 to 23 on his 10 ball break but I can't back that up.
I've often seen it mention that svb 10b break is @23mph.
I generally break 18-19mph according to my app and for sure shane is using 3+mph than what I do. No way its under 20.
Most pros take a little off on the 9b.
Also you get a ton more ball movement
on Simonis 860hr vs whatever old worn-out
cloth that is at the pool halls.

8-ball is the only game I give it all I got.
10-ball little less than 8.
9-ball even less than 10.
Matter of fact I often just break with my playing cue in 9-ball and I play with a G2 hard.
Works so fine that it's been a really long time since I didn't get a wing ball in corner pocket.
If you want to measure what pros are doing make it the 8-ball break and ideally on a 8 or 9 footer.
Break
I thought I heard that Francisco Bustamonte was breaking at 25 MPH .
I heard that from a commentator on the game played in the Philippines between Francisco and Efren R
Here is Francisco break

That's what I recall, also....he breaks much harder at nine-ball, I think.
Yep, the trouble with using averages as stats is kinda like the old joke....
..."A man drowned in a lake where the average depth was two feet."
Averages just don't tell the whole story...sometimes conditions make you change your
approach.
It really depends on what game they are playing.
If you are playing 9 ball with a magic rack, 16 to 17 is plenty. All you want to do is make the wing ball and get shape on the 1 in the corner.
If you are playing 10 ball or 8 ball, you have to hit it harder, this is where you will see break speeds in the 25 range.

At The Super Billiards Expo there was a table set up with one of the testers, 3 shots for $5.00 winner each hour won $100.00. Most of the guys were in the 16-17 range, even guys with a really big movement that looked like they would have made 30. The winners, while I was there, were 26 -27.8.
No I didn't lol. With my back, I have switched to Corey's style . I wasn't about to stand up in front of the crowd and clock my arm only 8 or nine.

Even before the rack templates actually, if you think about it, breaking should've never been about speed.
It should've been about reproducability and a nice spread of the balls. No point in balls flying around off 3 cushions (except for that 3 balls kitchen rule) and spread over the whole table. Whole table means a lot of movement needed.
Park the CB somewhere in the middle of the table, sink one ball into the middle pocket(s) and have the other balls spread nicely and loosely on 1/2 of the table.
Done!
Speed break must be some relict of the (american) past, where bigger/faster/higher was considered better.

And it is said that the average pun is laughed at for only 0.02 seconds, but for yours and mine, it is much longer than that.

Arguably I think the break is far too hard.
But I will also gladly agree that he gets an additional ball here and there off 2 cushions.
In contrast look at that one as an inspiration:

Currently I also need to work on my break, so cheers to you :thumbup:
