A while back, someone posted a link to a video of breaking tips. This was an old thread, posted before I became a member. Could somebody please post the link again? I've looked and can't seem to find it.

Thanks
 
i cant watch youtube at work to check witch video it is;

but with colins: powerbreaking video
and do a search on : best break video ever (on azb) those 2 should give you alot of info. (i think i posted 2 or 3 breakanalyses that are complementary to colin's work).
 
This video seems excellent, looking forward to trying some of this. I was interested to see you need to choke up on the butt end of the stick rather than move the hand back... which is the traditional advice I've seen in lots of books.

I think thorsten said he chokes up for greater accuracy but maybe he also did it cuz he subconsciously understood it allows you to get a longer swinging arm.

creedo; one of my breakanalyses that complements colin's work is a slowmotion analyse of a slowmotion of thorsten breaking.

yes like other germans he does choke up on the butt and he adds a little extra to colins explenation. vertical movement of the cue on the backswing so he has a longer movement in his last swing , aka longer movement : same final speed with less acceleration : aka more controled. i LOVE Hohmans break, i just cant duplicate it yet, even with the understanding...
