Ok, I'm not a big breaker or rotation games specialist, but I can get a ball and a decent layout most of the time in 9 ball.
Here are some questions that you need to answer for anybody to be able to help you:
1. Where do you place the cue ball?
2. At what speed are you hitting the break?
3. Are you hitting the one ball squarely?
4. Does your cueball have spin on it, if so, in what direction is it going?
5. Is your 1 ball hitting the side rail above, or below the side pocket, typically?
6. Are you making the corner ball frequently, or rarely?
Without knowing the answers to any of these questions, I'd advice you to try the following things:
A. Move the cueball to about a balls with away from the side rail.
B. Break with a medium speed. You should be at a comfortable speed for you, where you can make accurate adjustments up or down. Start at 60-70% of your maximum.
C. Use center ball, or a hair above, depending on the speed used.
D. Note the behavior of the 1 ball. If it goes below the side, then you can increase the speed ever so slightly to get it into the side pocket, and vice versa if it goes above.
E. If you make the corner ball consistently, then you should not try to make the one, but rather play position on it!
I'm sorry if the above advice is basic, but if you have your own table and can't get consistent breaking on it, you are doing something seriously wrong! If you try the above and tell us what happens, I'm sure someone will tell you how to adjust speed or where to move your cueball.
And OF COURSE all of the above is meaningless, unless you have a fairly tight rack. If you have gaps in the wrong places, or inconsistencies in your racking, then you won't ever be consistent.
