I was looking at the stats for the smoking aces tournament and noticed Corey Deuel has an extremely high percentage for making a ball on the break. Does anyone know what technique he is using to break the balls?

If they are using a magic rack then my best guess is a soft break off the left rail making the left wing ball leaving himself with a wired combo on the 9 after running 2-3 balls.

No Magic rack, no soft breaks in this tournament.

either way, he's still awesome!!
Corey Deuel is without a doubt one of the best outthere- especially his technical ablities are top notch.
I don t like the *woulda shoulda coulda* thing-- but Corey is for me without a doubt the No 2 guy next to Shane Van Boening in the USA ....He has everything what a world-class player needs. For me he s the one of the very few american pool players who are able to compete on world class level. But it seems that he s too clever and prefers to have a bit more money to live.

He's the house pro here in SWFL in Cape Coral at Diamond Billiards. I've seen him there once. It's the best pool room I've ever been to. 26 perfect Diamond tables. If you're ever here on vacation stop by there or one of the 6 rooms. Let me know if you need a recommendation as well.
The best answer I can give you is to watch Joe Tucker's Racking Secrets, 1 and 2.
It explains why making a ball in 9 ball should be automatic, 90% of better.
Don't be fooled by the name, it's not a video about how to rack or slug the rack.
It's a video about how to break, and how to read the rack the opponent or referee gave you.
It explains the trick to making the wing ball in 9 ball even without a magic rack.
In a nutshell you want to break from the side (and if necessary, cutting the head ball,
causing the cue ball to hit the side rail closest to you).
Corey understands this info better than anyone, probably better than Joe himself, and he is very careful and precise about breaking where a lot of other players just try to hit hard.
The other 'secret' which is just common sense is, you want the rack to be PERFECT. Not just tight,
but PERFECTLY tight. Not a paper-sized gap anywhere, if possible. This is automatic with the
magic rack, but without one it takes a lot of futzing and hassle. If you watch guys like Shane,
Corey, Mike Dechaine... they are very careful with this in rack-your-own events.

Practice
Corey, like Shane in a 10 ball break, has put in hours of practice, learning where the balls go. Simple answer, but not easy to do.
