Challenge Breakshots

[stevekur1]

I always use a conventional break shot to practice, but I have a question. In competition, such as the Challenge, to guarantee making the break ball, maximize ball spread, reduce the chance of scratching and increase the chance of having a shot after the break, wouldn't this be a viable option:

Place the CB on the head spot. Take the break ball and place it so that it's frozen to one of the corner balls and dead in the corner. Then slam the cue ball into the two balls at the front of the stack using your best 9-ball break. The break ball will fly into the corner and the CB will hop back a foot and squat in the center of the table ready for you to start your run. Is the legal?

Hey Ron,

Good thought, but no this is not allowed in the challenge. We already had someone ask that last year at the event.

by far the MOST difficult break-shot i've ever had to shoot was, amazingly, an easy shot. HOWEVER, just as i was going down on the shoot, THIS came on TV! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYihDAhVPko to my knowledge, there has never been a pool player in the history of the game, who can make a shot while sammy davis Jr sings; "The Candy Man".....
