billiard break

[alphadog]

Haven't taken the time to learn cue-table so I'll try and explain.
Break ball is left on line between bottom corner ball and pocket,billiard
cue off coner ball and pocket break-ball! I have tried this shot twice in game situations and made it both times! As one might expect rack does spread real well. Has anyone posted this before?

Unless its actually hanging in the pocket you would never attempt this shot in competition, way to low percentage. Even if it is hanging in the pocket you have a high percentage of scratching as well, don't know if I would even attempt it then.

I've heard of it but never tried it except when it's hanging (what selftaut said). I think most caroms are pretty tricky unless the object ball is only inches from the corner ball, and the cue ball is close also.

Same shot---longer distance

Here's a demo of the billiard break into a top pocket:

You'll see links to a lot of other off-the-wall 14.1 breakshots.

Pretty cool!
