most ball made on the 9 ball break

Just remembered, this wasn't me but... About 5 years ago my brother shattered the rack. Put every single ball in, even the CB!!! The thing is it was a 6 foot walmart table with incredibly fast cloth, and the pockets stick out like theres no tomorrow.
 
I once made six on the break twice in one face to nine, which is most unusual given that I've only made six on the break three times ever! Breaking on fast, new cloth when the rails are still slidy seems to be when these amazing breaks happen.

Remember playing a guy who made the one, two, three, four and five on the break, but was snookered on the six. After he tried and missed a pretty tough kick, I asked him "Why didn't you push?" His answer, amusingly enough, was that the possiblity hadn't occurred to him. He didn't recall ever being able to play a push with the six being the lowest numbered ball on the table!
 
7 balls OTB

I saw a gentleman by the name of Red Neal make 7 balls on the break once. The funny thing is he was hooked and didn't get out. I believe that the only balls remaining were the 2 and 9. The two ended up on the end rail and the nine was blocking. Actually it was kinda funny!
 
im sure everyone seem alex pagulyon make 6 i think it was against santos in the bca last year ON TV!
I also heard that bustamante once made i think 7 balls on the break and was hooked on the eighth ball ha what luck
 
I don't try to break hard. The best i've got is 4. But I made the 9 and the CB stopped dead. Seriously, it didn't move whatsoever after it struck the 1. Kind of freaked me out.

Alex didn't win the game either.

Has anyone seen anyone make more than 7 balls off the break?

FAST LARRY made 10 on a 9 ball break, he made all 9 of the object balls plus one that had jumped over from another table and he left the cueball in perfect position for his next break.

I was in a mini tournament once. I was at the bar watching a match (race to 3). The person breaking made the 9ball on the snap twice in a row against a decent player. The opponent then says, "I got $50.00 that says he won't do it again." I said "bet" and sure enough, the guy made it. I figured what the hell, I got a 50/50 shot at $50.00.
I know this doesn't apply to the topic, but thought I'd share it anyway.

i myself, i have made 5balls on the break several times, and non included the 9ball lol.

i have seen 6balls made on the break once.

Didnt Charlie Bryant make 7balls on the break once, and not get out cuz he was hooked???
 
I've done 5 many times, 6 on the break only once. The nine was not one of them and I didn't win - that's what sucked....
 
I saw a link to a video posted up here a while ago, someone broke and made all 9-balls. Someone mentioned that it was fake, but the footage was a little grainy so it was hard for me to tell.

As for me, I haven't made a ball on the break since 1964.
