107 Breaks & 6 Chances

I've posted pics before.
Humans don't multitask well.
You’re making 7 balls on the break, that’s awesome!
This is why a new table will not fix whatever problem you are having.
Even without seeing it, I'm 90 percent sure you can't break for shit.
How is your break when you go out to the poolhall and shoot?
You shot with him in person. What are your thoughts on his break? Did you shoot on his table?
Sorry, Im sure you answered all this before in one of the other 100 threads on this topic, but I just dont want just search.
They were bar tables in Evansville at O'brien's. IIRC he won I want to say 2 matches, lost to a really slow player. Not a great break at all
Never been to his house. My friend who is a table mechanic has.
Like I have mentioned previously, you have to control the cue ball, you will have a much better chance of having a shot if the cue ball is in the middle of the table.
I noticed the CB is nowhere near center table on those breaks.
Try nothing but hitting squarely enough to keep whitey in the middle.
Have you tried breaking using the RAM shot?
I'll have to admit tonight was a rarity.
I went down to the table tonight and started breaking racks of 9B. I actually had some chances, some decent chances to runout. I hosed up the first three. One was a miscue, one I missed a shot I should have made, and the other hose job was because my speed was off. However, I did finally break and runout one time. I stopped there. Finished on a good note.
So I had about four (4) good chances out of about 15 breaks. That's extremely good, perhaps rare, for my Gold Crown IV.

Not sure what he's saying but he never shot with me. And he has never played on my table. He says he was in Evansville a few years back when I played in a tournament down there.
If I were the rest of you posters I wouldn't believe a word that guy says.

I have read through this thread once. I don't remember whether anyone has, or even I have, responded thusly:
- How many different breaks have you tried?
- Have you tried a particular CB position, tried 10 in a row, verifying you have hit the CB in the same exact spot each time? Verified you have hit the head ball in the same spot each time? Recorded the result of each of the 10?
- Have you tried that particular CB position and varied your speed 10 times? Recorded the results? (Predator break phone app works pretty well.)
- Have you tried moving the CB 1" to the left or right of where your first 10 attempts were? Recorded the results of 10 tries?
- Have you tried the new 1" position using varying speeds? Recorded the results?
- Have you tried moving the CB another 1"? Recorded the results?
- Have you tried the original CB position hitting the head ball cutting 10 degrees right? Ten degrees left? Twenty degrees? Varied speed 10 times? Varied follow, left right, draw 10 times? Recorded the results on each attempt?
- Have you tried (OK, I'll stop now, I think you get the point.) THIS is what possibly the best breaker in the world has done, SVB, spending hours and hours and hours and more hours experimenting over and over and over again.
Then you will need to do exactly the above, the hours and hours and hours you invested, on another table you might play on, such as at your hall during league night. But yes, at this point if you have seen what moving a little left or right, varying your speed, or varying your cut angle does, you might at least have some idea how your hall table will react and adjust accordingly. It's not luck. And it's not the table.
Disclaimer: I am a lowly player. But I don't think I'm that far off in what I am suggesting above.
Experiment. Try stuff. Record the results. Adjust accordingly.
Apologies if you have already tried this.

If you're not sure what I am saying, then why in the hell are you commenting? Never said I shot on your table.
Now you are just being dense. Mickey ran the tournament, your name appears and my name appears.
At least deal in facts.
