First 9-ball tournament I ever went to, Memphis 1989…..
Nick Varner missed the cue ball altogether…..he was probably in the top ten breakers in the world.
He used to let his bridge hand go with the cue…this break his timing was off…
…he stood there with his hand up in the air, no balls had moved….the crowd was cracking up.

Ergo, QED

Sounds like a move to me.

Has anyone seen Busty mess up like that?…some of his backstrokes come right out of his bridge..but he’s so cool.
