44 Breaks & Only 3 Chances

You might have a point. Not sure I have ever tried the middle ground. I usually soft break them or hit them fairly hard. Maybe next time at the table I will try something in-between. Guess it can't hurt to try. Especially considering I am at my wits end with this table.
You keep blaming the table. If you have done the suggested tests on this table to make sure it doesn't play absurdly slow there is nothing you can expect to change with a different table. Instead of blaming the table work on your break and make it work with realistic results on this table, what happens if you play in a tournament and the tables break just like yours? Tables don't differ much from each other if the pockets are relatively close in size. They all have 6 pockets, cloth that plays roughly the same speed, and cushions that play close to others as long as the table has not been gaffed and that you should be able to tell with speed tests.
 
I've done all this.

Many times over the years.
Sorry to hear it. Well, since you have exhausted all other options, I guess you'll have to quit pool. You can always come to NPR:

Yes, I contradicted myse3lf there. But what I meant was that I've tried that plenty of times before. I probably just forgot about it and thought it sounded like something different.

There isn't anything I haven't tried over the last 20+ years.
You have good equipment, can get a tight rack. At home you can pattern rack if you want.
I just feel like some combo of speed/ cueball placement has to give you a decent result.
I'm very confused by you saying you've tried everything.
Maybe rack a little higher or lower. It just makes no sense.
