Just got done racking and breaking racks of 9-Ball on my Gold Crown IV. I counted and I broke 44 racks and only had three decent chances to run out. I got out once and hosed up the two others.
This has been going on for years and years and years. <snip> But I've just about reached my wits end with this GCIV. It has to be a bad breaking table. And even when I did make a ball almost every time I had a real bad spread, literally no chance at all.
Maybe you should try hitting the head ball at different points !?! and see what happens.
Remember, the break has more to do with precision than power.
