People tend to practice the break on 10ball, 9ball, even 8ball, to get good result, but then again lets be honest, sometimes your break does not work on certain tables and balls get kicked and in the end of the day its mostly about your luck.
People love to smash the break shot, the player who gets a very good luck in their break most of the time wins a 9ball match purely due to the break, because then again most pro's know how to runout, its a matter of layouts and break luck.
Even the greatest breakers in the world sometimes their break does not work, (hint shane in the 9ball finals against ko last year) and prior to shane's match his break was working perfectly, then again it was a disadvantage to his opponent, so the break is big shot, and its a very lucky shot too which is either so bad to the game, or so good depends on how you look at it.
I remember one of the old guys who play pool told me one day, it's crazy that the most important shot in this game is a luck shot, and he is actually right.
I got a solution, but it's a change to the games too, it will solve few things.
1) luck in the break.
2) racking issues where guys take forever to rack their balls or their opponent balls.
Now it's a big change and I don't know if people would like the idea but here it goes.
Instead of freezing all the balls together, just make them half inch apart, try it yourself in your home and see how the break works, it's pretty hard. I'm sure there can be tools made to accomplish this for the 9ball, 10ball, and 8ball too. Just a tool that racks in the same type of look but keep balls half inch apart. even you can do it by hand if you want without a tool. 9 ball would still look like a diamond but half inch apart just imagine it, nothing goes, but break will be hard, no matter how hard you break things will not break up, so then now creativity comes into play in breaking.
I don't know just a thought, I think break is kinda ridiculous in the games we play, winners are usually due to luck, because if you got lucky you will play better and all pro's can play.
