my name is scott crandall. im from wilmington, nc. i saw you play at the carolina open. (very well i might add) i feel as though i am a descent player and good shot maker. i am beginning to see runout patterns well. my question though, is about the break. I break from the right corner of the table. im right handed. i scratch in the opposite side pocket constantly. which effects the outcome of many of my matches. do you have any suggestions such as less power or what english or is it just stroke. i am am just really stumped. please email me if you have the time for me at scottyroo25@aol.com. i'd really appreciate it mr. Ulrich

Hi Scooterfresh,

There are a few things that you can do to help fix this problem. First of all it sounds to me that you are just not hitting the head ball full enough to keep the cue ball out of the side. You need to start adjusting your aim. Start off by shooting your break shot with less speed and fEveocus on the cue ball. Increase your speed gradually as your control improves. You should also adjust your contact point on the cue ball. Your problem could be fixed by cueing lower or higher on the cue ball.

Another thing you might want to try is breaking from the left side of the table rather than the right. Right handers get less of the table in the way of their follow through by breaking from the left side.

Play around with different things until you find the break that works the best for you. If you treat the break as any other shot and give it the practice attention it deserves, you should see improvement with it before you know it.

Best of luck with it and let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
