Buy It!!
I was an early adopter. I bought the BreakRak when it first came out. At the time, I was just learning the power break. Now I can consistently break at 26mph and often plant the cueball at that speed. If I break at 21-22 mph, I have very good cue ball control.
This device is by far the best investment you could ever make in your break. To be honest, I think it is money better spent on the latest and greatest break cue.
There is another benefit that no one seems to mention. There is a certain stroke you will develop on the break that really maximizes the "pop" of the break. I can't exactly put into words what I mean. You can hit the rack at the same speed and same fullness of hit (so it seems), and yet produce different results in terms of action. I find that the BreakRak really maximized my ability to hit the rack in such a way that the balls just explode apart fast. Like I said, I can't explain it, but you will see for yourself. The device makes a different sound when you hit it with this type of stroke I'm talking about, and you learn to tune into that. This really produces more action on the break. You see how Shane VanBoening doesn't really break super hard, yet gets tons of action out of the rack? I can see the contact of his cue ball on the rack looks and sounds like this type of effect I'm talking about.
This product is HIGHLY recommended. Also, it should be noted that if you can stroke the cueball accurately and smoothly and hit the rack square at high velocity, this is going to groove the straightness and power of your stroke on all shots.

Then take into account the ability to rack the balls tight every time, fish them out of the pockets, put them in the rack, yada, yada, yada.
