Last night at the bar

That guy's advice about the break you were referring too may not be all that Lame, hitting the cue ball dead center and the head ball center as well is a very good break, you gotta "Stroke the Break Shot" as you would any other shot on the table, the most important shot you'll ever have in pool, The Break!........

are you stroking your break shot? or are you doing the punch break shot?, which is no stroke at all, and in turn cause's no control over whitey, and none to few balls being made on the break.

When I'm at the table breaking I'll do a few practice Strokes for aim on the Cue ball then when it's time to pull the trigger I stroke all the way with the follow threw .

Just need some input from you guys on what to do , last night I was at my local bar shooting and was playing another guy that i know and he started telling me that almost everything that I do is wrong .

Now when I do my Preshot preshot routine of course I look at everything on the table and Chalk up and get in my stance and when I'm aiming at the cue ball I always spot low don't ask me why it's just my routine and I was woundering if anyone else does this , to me it's hows I Find my target point on a Object ball and then hit it .

Then the next thing he started to tell me is my Break is to hard that that I should not use draw on the break which I don't , I use a half a tip below center , and also he when on this 10 minute rant about how all the pro's never break as hard and that they always do a Soft break , so I thought about this for a second and said ok why are we talking about Pro players right now so he tried to get me to soften my break up and it didn't work for me at all .

Then I talk to some of are top Players that Come in to the Bar and told them all this and they said that he shouldn't be giving out any instrustions because he will tell you what you should do but he doesn't do what he's telling you at all and they said you have to take everything in and take the good info from the bad .

I felt like i was on egg shells when playing him but as the night went on I went to my style that I feel comfortable with and played like an ace .
