Im a lefty and I break more powerfully and accurately from the left rail. Ive also noticed that alot of the righties around here prefer the right rail. So i was wondering if it has something to do with the way the stick comes across your body or what the reasoning is for this. Or if its not big deal at all.

So what handed are you and what side of the table do you break better from when playing 9 ball?


ooops forgot to add the poll to the last one, here ya go.

And of course this is with all things being equal. Meaning you are making balls from no matter where you break on that particular table.

I'm left handed

9ball - from the right rail
8ball and 10ball - from the left corner of the box

of course if I feel that my breaks are not "getting in" I'll move until I find the best spot for that session.
 
Im a lefty and I not only can break 2mph faster from the left rail I can also squat the cueball when I do it. I cant figure out why the difference I think i might just be more comfortable from that side.

When I try to make up the 2mph different on the other side I always lose the cue ball. Oh well though accuracy's better than power anyday of the week.
