Break speed: what do pros aim for?

[MDSPHOTO]

SO how do you check the speed of your break anyway?

This is my question as well?

Increasing speed from 20 to 25 mph may not seem like much, but it makes a huge difference in the energy the CB carries into the rack. That 25% speed increase raises the CB's kinetic energy more than 50%, which can mean lots more OB movement from the rack - but only if you hit it equally accurately.

So I agree with the advice to only break as hard as you can control, but I also think there's lots of potential benefit in working to increase that limit.

P.S. If you can get to 30 mph, your break's energy will increase 125%.

Has anyone like Stalev hit the magic 30mph barrier?

23 to 24 mph may be a little hard unless you really thin the end ball.

The BreakSpeed app (for iPhone & Android) is pretty cool - easy to use and "more than ten times the accuracy of a radar gun". Both of those are actually true.

Same here. Pedator Break Speed app for android and iphone.. 5 bucks. If you use it to
practice speed consistency, its a good tool. If you are using it for a testosterone measuring tool, just to see how fast you can hit, you are wasting time and money.

I put the cue ball two feet from the rack and it records my break as 50 mph. My testosterone goes through the roof.
