Mike Dechaine 32 MPH break

love the way the one flew straight off the table!!.....monster break though
That's pretty strong...I saw Hillbilly Charlie Bryant knock one of the corner balls off the table breaking 8 ball in the IPT...I think that one was clocked at around 38 mph.
That seems humanly impossible.
I don't break 33 in one of my matches. In ten ball I am breaking the balls about 22-24 mph with a one foot hop of the cue and I park it in the center of the table. I believe, for my break, the hop is ever important to the ten ball break. In nine ball, depending on how they are racked, i usually break form the side rail 25-27 mph.
and trust me. It has nothing to do with how hard you hit them. It all about how they are racked. I will have all the info up on my website within the next two months.
i have never been clocked.
how hard do you think i break in 10 ball?
about 20 is what i think
You really have a knack for bringing negativity to a thread.
You're one of my favorite young guns to hit the pool circuit, Mike. I love it that you post here on AzBilliards. You're an asset to this sport. Keep up the good work.
A serious question for Mike: I saved the subject video & watched it frame-by-frame. I noted that you share all of the common traits that all hard breakers do (i've analysed a LOT of break videos):
1) chest lift on backswing
2) elevate cue on backswing
3) tucked elbow on backswing
4) elbow releases (cue drops) & wrist snaps on forward
Was this technique natural to you or did you study & employ it?

I have to say that is natural. But I have watched the video and broke it down. I now realize how and why I do the things I do. I think that is very important in this game just incase you don't feel it one day.
I was with Corey Deuel at BCAPL when he broke 33MPH twice in a row and kept the CB on the table both times.

LOL where and when.
I wish I could see that, cause it seems unlikely. And um...Empire State...??? Was Corey giving Mike the 7 in the finals? Ha ha...not sure what you're aiming at here lol.
You guy's are kidding right?
I thought it was pretty obvious that I was referring to the break shot (which is the topic of the thread) when I said he gives the 7. I didn't mean it literally. lol
I was talking about the break.
