Looking for advice on what to look for when breaking

[paksat]

Is there some things the wiser ones here can point out that I need to look for when breaking?

Example being that I notice sometimes that I need to take some off my break in order to make the balls ( so they stop overshooting the pockets ).

I mean is there anything to look for when watching how they bust?

paksat...Get Joe Tucker's "Racking Secrets" dvd...invaluable info, and worth every penny! I agree with taking some speed off your break, for better CB control. Also, develop a normal swing, not the super-wild swings that you see some players do. Archer can get away with it...most of us aren't as talented, and don't have as good of timing, as him!

Tables break differently, and individual tables can break differently depending on the atmospheric conditions too. You need to experiment on THAT table to see what it likes. Some like a hard break, some like a soft break. Some are set so that the wing ball goes easily, some you should break from the side etc etc etc.

when they rack the balls go to the rack look at the wing balls see if they touching the 2 back balls if not wich ever wing ball is not touching the back ball break from the other side the bigger the gap the more u move over from the middle of the table try it an let me know if u makeing more balls on the break allso when u break try parking ur cue ball that way when u do make the wing ball ur in the middle of the table hope this helps ......Robley
