44 Breaks & Only 3 Chances

If you break from the opposite end to see if it makes a difference, do it only a couple of times, don’t want to leave tracks

I wasn't trying to be funny. If no one local will help then there are some instructors who will do zoom or other remote instruction. imo you clearly need someone to help you. And it isn't going to happen on a forum.

Good advice, if you’re worried about posting a vid here then find someone qualified to help in person or online

I had new SuperSpeed cushions installed a few years ago.

It has Simonis 860.

The are Belgium Aramith balls. The Crown set.

Rails are tight. They don't die off the cushions.

It has Brazilian slate. Which has always been a concern of mine as I was hoping for Italian.

Might try a serious soap and warm water washing of the balls followed by a thorough rinse. All by hand. In a serious effort to find a mechanical issue the balls and rack are suspect. Might try rotating balls swapping the extra six balls for first the one through six then the four through nine.
With everything right even a medium speed break and a square hit on the head ball should be plenty to spread the balls. It shouldn't take much to spread a nine ball rack.

I am just curious, what percentage of cosmo is acceptable?

I have broken at least 40 racks in the last week, those and my opponents so let’s call it 60 racks. There may have been 2 or 3 that would provide for a straight forward run out.

I am not rated yet (thanks to iusedtoberich for the fargo lesson) but my preliminary fargo is currently 440 with 132 robustness, and I am happy when I pot a ball on the break. I have my own table and play every day. So must be a matter of expectations, I don’t have any. I am no where near good enough to blame my equipment.

I wish you luck and I hope you conquer your white whale.
 
The only real possibilities here are you don't know how to rack the balls tight and/or you just don't understand how hard this game really is. Running out a 9 ball rack is a real accomplishment. I remember watching a savy 9 ball gambler years ago, that really understood he was barely a B player. He NEVER tried to run out at 9 ball. He didn't play for large stakes but he knew how to get the cash.

Not funny fuggles. I've been a student of this game for over 25 years. I know how to play.

And just so you will know......I tried doing what you suggested with players from Evansville. I got blown off, nobody wanted to help. So much for the brotherhood.

Try voodoo or wicca or something...

I am trying to offer sage advice while being funny.
 
Why would you think that it’s the table’s fault?
Do you run out 5 out of 10 on other tables?

Watch some pro tournaments, with the 9 on the spot and a break box, most frames of players under 800 are not break and run.
Are you an 800 Fargo player?
