Dude is a freak, in the best possible way.
Not related to his break but I ran across an old money match on YouTube between him and SVB when they were younger...
... and it was fun to watch.

I just don't enjoy breaks like that and like Bergman does. Break um hard, run out, love watching that type of pool.
Sure, but if the choice is between what's more entertaining and what's more effective...
Isn't that symmetrical break more an attestment to a perfect rack and an accurate strike point?
I'd think what we see is actually highly predictable, given the above factors.

Nah, I think he’s just lucky.
has corey tried his hand at chinese 8-ball? the most succesful players seem to break semi-soft like that.
I understand and appreciate what you are saying. Streamed tournaments and ones with seating like or want paying customers and you can't tell me you'd rather watch the soft break vs Earl, Johnny, Tony E., Shane, etc. break them.
As Chris Melling has noted, ten ball is every bit as broken as nine ball when it comes to the break. The path of five of the balls can be controlled - the two corner balls can be played four rails into the bottom corners, the balls just below the one can be played in the side pockets, and the path of the one ball can be controlled. Personally, I don't see either nine ball of ten ball as broken.
Yes, I would favor that. Standardization is something that has always been lacking in both nine ball and ten ball. When I first watched it, ten ball was played Texas Express, then it was changed to call shot, and about three years ago, ten ball last was added.
I agree, that is a fun match to watch. Corey played great in that match. I think he broke and ran nearly 75% of the time. He has to be one of the best bar table players in the world.
