Breaking video.

[mnorwood]

Could anyone post a video demonstrating technique used for a power break? I would like to see it from a side view. Watching a t.v. match is not that helpful because it is always from a frontal view.

This is not a video but some stills of Alex...

Edit: There...

Next... the follow thru. This is hard to master bringing the butt of the cue high. Many pros do it, aiming low on the cueball then following thru with then tip up.

P.S. Alex is a small guy so I think this qaulifies for a power break!

kick your back leg up as you extend through the cueball.

The kick of the back leg is optional... a lot of pro's do that too!

Alex doesnt seem to... pictures from the front.

Here he raises his head straight up but still in line with the shot. The back hand also brings up the butt of the stick...

Straight thru the ball like the slate isnt even there.

Of course the cueball hops...the trick is to get it to land on the table at the moment of impact on the one ball.
