Ow man 
this must be the BEST joke i ever heared. HArd not to crack up when i got my fingers slapped by this poolhall owner.
ok, the story
i met MArc here on this forum who lived close to me in brussels, and he asked me if i wanted to play some pool a poolhall he goes to. Ofcourse i said yes. We played for some time 8ball and 9ball. At the end of the evening , after paying, i got a 'poollesson' from the guy.
First he starts to ask me how long i played pool, and said i shouldnt breake like that. First idea i had was, ok this guy knows alot about pool, and i know my 9ball break isnt the best one, i make a ball often, but i do still miss the wingball from times to times. so i thought he was just going to give me advice... then he started to say, u dont breake like that in pool, u have to do a soft breake, by hiting the cussion first and then go in the pack from behind at a slow pace... i was like
wtf, is this guy for real or? am i missing something. ME and marc tried to explain him, 14-1 uses soft brakes, but DEFENETLY not in 8 or 9ball, and DEFENETLY not from behind the pack... this would be a fault asu have to hit the 1 ball first wich is in front... so i was very confused and let him talk. Then he said we should stop breaking like we did, as our brake makes holes in the carpet, it makes the ball fly everywhere over the table, claiming we where luck we were on the last table and not sending balls on other tables (not 1 ball during the hole night fly off the table , as we both have a very slow breake. 10-15 mph would already be much if we could hit it). i saw 2 balls flying of other non pool playing people , just guys and there gf playing, but anyway.
then he claims other people who dont know about pool, look at me, and they will start breaking in front and hard to, making everyone destroying his table... (even people who never played pool at a D level, breake hard in front...) i didnt know what to say, i was so : Is this a joke? so he said, wait ill show. we get to the table, and u see the line from where im used to brake. I said to him, this is not a hole on your carpet, this is chalk falling on the table when i brake, a brush and it would be gone (ofc he had never heared of a brush im sure..). Then he claims the long trail to the pack are destroyed carpet, i tell him thats not possible, as when i breake, the ball is not roling but flying untill it hits the 1ball in full center. He starts smyling; AHA U SEE u make the ball fly!!! and u hit so hard u destroy my balls... then it was hard for me not the start laughing. Ok a breake cue ( i have a J/Jwith a phenloc tip makes a snap sound when i breake, but that sound doesnt mean im breaking his balls or his table. Then he starts saying my white balls i making holes in the carpet. I try to explain him that the curve of a cb, CANT make a hole, only the tip of a cue from players who cant play. A cb CANT make a hole, and he points to the big black spot on the headstring, trying to show me the hole.. im like.. 
this man on drugs or anything. well we both tried to explain him he's telling nonsense, but well the guy is a moron , he told us we wouldnt be welcome to play anymore if we would breake like we use too. (i wonder how he would react if he saw a top pro player with a closed bridge, a shaft that would bend ALOT, ALOT of draw ( i just use head spot, and center ball hit breake and a open bridge so my cue doesnt bend at all) and a 25mph breake...) This must be the most STUPID poolhall owner ive EVER seen, im sure he never used a stick in his life, and well just had to share this, as i think its hilarious AND a shame a guy like that owns a poolhall.
I loved the way he asked me how long i was playing, kinda in a laughing way, OW man , u dont know anything about pool... ow did i mention they use those thick heavy cloths just to be sure they wouldnt have to replace more then once every 2 years. He last claim was, if u would breake like u do now, and come play once in a while, ill have to change the cloth u make holes in every 2 months.
man this was SO funny, i still cant believe the **** this guys said during my finger slapping. He just seemed SO dumb, i thought i was on candid camera and really didnt know what to answer him so funny it was.
ps: made my FIRST 9ball breake EVER, and ive been playing pool for years for fun, and since august in national competition level... Couldnt believe i never made one before.
