CSI BB Tournament
- Thread starter Johnnyt
- Start date
Although it's an equal playing field, it turns chess into checkers at this level. I'm not sure I'm against it. I wish we could afford neutral rackers and random racking, but we can't.
and who's destroying everyone there???
Shane with the strongest break around. There's no soft breaking with Shane and he's destroying everyone, so what does THAT tell you/????

Did you watch the stream? SVB is probably breaking at 12mph......Corey was more like 8 :/
I was there...
I was there and watched in person.
I also break the same way Shane does and it ain't soft. I can't say how many people have told me if they had my break they would be champions.
If I can ever get a hold of my nerves, I might be able to do something.
In both of my matches in the tenball I had 3 break and runs. out of my six breaks.

I guess this comes down to our opinions about whats considered hard or soft. Most men I know break at 25+MPH, I consider that hard. My 7yo son breaks at under 10mph, I consider that soft.
Very nice on your run outs!
SVB is soft breaking 9 ball at US bar table championship! look at youtube SVB vs Dennis the finals last year 9ball BTC ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDsAzH7Ru9k
It may appear that way because of the cyclop balls.
The cyclop balls don't make that loud pop when you break so it appears like you're hitting softer than you really are.
I had thought they were going to use measle balls on the bar tables too, but they only did on the big tables for one hole.
The cyclop cue ball plays long. I discussed this with both Oscar and Hunter and they both agreed with me on that.
There were several scratches that wouldn't have been scratches with other cueballs in this event.

He may well be soft breaking...
I was only there for the tenball. I had to come spend some time with my family. I had been on the road for two and a half weeks and I'm leaving again on Monday, so I couldn't justify staying there all week.

Very few men can break in excess of 20 MPH. Most men will break in the 15 - 18 MPH range. If you don't believe that , use the break speed iphone app or a radar gun to see for yourself.
While my numbers might be a little off, my point wasn't.
Thanks for correcting my error.
Yeah we used the app at the seminole event in hollywood...
Brendan Crockett had that app at the Seminole event in LA a couple of years ago.
My break speed was 24 mph on the break speed app.

I know. I watched Orcullo do it one year and thought to myself wtf. Pattern racking makes it too easy for the great players.
He was soft breaking all through the 9 ball BB and we are talking 9 ball here...not 10 ball. Johnnyt
Who cares how hard he broke. Everyone else was free to break the balls however they wanted. One of the problems with pool is everyone *****es over dumb s#/t...Unbelievable the stuff people complain about.
I know everyone can do the same thing with practice. If that's what you like to watch it's OK with me. Johnnyt
