Why is breaking force okay for 1p and not okay for 9 ball ?
? Breaking force,

Can you repeat the question and use different words ?
All breaks require putting force into the CB and having the CB make contact with the rack.
1P breaks want to just barely touch the rack and leave CB where opponent has no shot
9B breaks want a lot of force (except Corey Duel) to spread the balls out and eliminate clusters.

If 9 ball requires a hard break , then all games should require a hard break... Guy
If nine ball requires that you hit the lowest numbered ball first, then all games should require that you hit the lowest numbered ball first…?

I think break it anyways you want to... anygame...
Are there any other rules in any other games that you don't like and think should change?
That whole having to break up the next rack with the last ball from the previous rack in 14.1 is kind of a pain in the ass…
... and one-pocket would be much easier if I could use a couple of the other pockets too.
Here's a demonstration of the technique:
and more info and videos can be found on the Pattern Racking, Ball-Gap Strategy, and Soft Break resource page.
I have solved the 9 ball break issue. Just break like I do. Break hard, medium, cut break, dead on head ball, soft, spin, no spin and never ever make a ball. I can break ten times in a row and never make a ball. It staggers the imagination sometimes. Worst break in the history of pool.
So, why change a game from "the object is to break and run out" into a game of "the object is to break really hard and run out"
It seems to me that the soft break is viable as long as you get a decent percentage of run outs--and has not change the game--EXCEPT where others have to learn how to soft break like Corey to raise their game.
In other words rather than learning the soft break they change the rules so they don't have to.
1p and 9b are different discipline -don't see why break rules has to be consistent across different disciples.
Matchroom have to fix that hard break rule at discretion of ref cos it is too subjective. Maybe use some scientific equipment like speedometer to quantify or measure strength of break

I thought the object was to break and win but that's not the case. One must break hard , for some reason.
I think it speaks to the general weakness of the game. It's checkers. It's a game where the top players routinely play races to 50 or 100 to determine the best of the day.
*gasp*
Ban him.
Is the rule that the 1 must be hit during the break shot going away or should we start practicing the kick break?
