who do posters think is perhaps the best instructor when it comes to helping a player with the break shot in 9-Ball?

it just dawned on me that no matter how much i practice its not going to do me any good if i rarely have a chance for success off of the break. been breaking a bunch the last couple of days (after the Mother Drills, of course) and like almost always just never have a chance after the balls take their positions.

can any of you maestros out there recommend anyone?

Ask Scott to work with you on this the next time you work with him. Right now, I know you have plenty to work on from your last lesson. Take it a little bit at a time. You seem to have a little problem with patience, in that you want it all and you want it right now. Developing all the skills necessary to become proficient at this game takes time. Work on the things Scott gave you. When you have mastered them, you will be ready for more. If you try to do everything all at once, you just make it more difficult on yourself. It doesn't happen over night. Learning is a journey to be enjoyed, not a process to be completed.

I'm no maestro but as far as I know, there's no such thing as the best instructor. Different instructors suit different students, and in different areas. You can choose to work with the one you're most comfortable and best suits you. And stick to him/her when you find one. But all in all it really takes time to develop and master that feel for the game.

It's true, it IS a foul on each break. When I was in Manila together with another az'er, pooladdict, he noticed it and then we taped his break!

We showed it to him and his manager later on and told them about the rule, and that the "wrong" opponent/referee might punish him for that break. This was in February, so maybe he has done some changes now.

Mike,

I sent you a PM.
 
Joe Tucker

I don't think anyone giving lessons has spent more time studying how to break than Joe Tucker. I would like to spend several weeks with him just working on stroke and breaks.

Joe Tucker is agreat player and instructor and his methods and instructional material are top notch. I would also recomend The Great Break Shot by Charley Bond - great stuff in there. David Baranski has also done some great instructional material on the break.

I have lots of break shot instruction material that is 9 ball specific, well researched, and useful to players that take their game seriously. There are many instructors out there that have a lot of knowledge, you just have to find the one that fits your needs the best. It is one thing to be spoon-fed knowledge, but its something completely different to be able to digest and apply that knowledge. Above all else, always seek out a qualified instructor/coach to help guide you through the learning process.
 
lol watch that video of deluna vs luong, around 17 minutes he POUNDS the rack and actually knocks the 1 off the table - it speeds away from the rack so fast it's either got crazy topspin or is airborne or something, so when it hits the side rail it just flitters up and off the table. He makes 3 other balls also. I'm really liking the airborne break. He then does a sorta "bring it on" or "give it to me" pose after to coax balls in. It's fun to watch.
 
What happened to Colin's video on breaking?? I remember watching that and it had some pretty good info.

if u can't gain at least 1mph on your break from this video then i don't see how any instructor would be able to do much for u



u should call brent at cue sports world in evansville and see if he will work with u , he has a monster break with really solid technique, there's some knowledgable guys on here but they won't be able to do too much for u over the net
