Get your opponent rattled by breaking,this should anyway

You mean YOU don't know how you do it. I do, and Iv'e never even seen you break.

What causes the cueball to go up in the air on a break is the cueball is airborne when it hits the one ball. On your 'home' table, you have the jump distance down pat. But when in another room, with different cloth, or different cueball, the cb doesn't jump the same. So you can't duplicate it. All you have to do is have the cuestick off-level when you break. In the other room you mentioned, just jack up slightly more than you normaly do, and it will give you the same effect.

TAP TAP. That is pretty much it and it doesn't have to be a hard break. You are basically pushing the CB into the slate ever so slighty on the break with an elevated cue. By the time the cue strikes the 1 ball it is actually off the table. I had a friend sorta master this break in 9ball and actually break the bulbs in the lamp above the table once. No power break, just knew the stroke. Guess like any other shot in pool. :) Funny thing was, he learned how to make the cue jump onto a near by table and when two guys were playing he didn't like, he would do it "on accident" and tick them off. Not professional, but funny at the time.

Exactly, it's a very low, very fast jump-break. I've sent cue balls 4 feet into the air, one time I sent one about 2 feet over a friends head that was sitting about 4 feet from the table. After a while I just went back to the leather tip and changed my speed and stroke a bit. It's just not practical but it does put on a good show.

It's impressive if he can manage to keep a constant straight up and down bounce of the cue ball. You literally have to hit it almost perfect everytime. If you hit the 1-ball slightly off center the cue ball will fly off the table.
