most ball made on the 9 ball break

I don't have half the break I used to, because I have been struggling with My 8 break for a while now, but I know I made atleast 5 before in 9 ball at one time, altough My Dad seems to remember me making 6. I do seem to remember only having to make 3 balls after the break one time, But I'll say 5 just to be safe. I don't know if I've seen anyone make seven, but would love to see It.
 
I think the most I have made on the break is maybe 3...LOL

BUT!

I have snapped the nine twice in a row...on a Diamond with simonis, tight pockets as well. I did it against another Chad in Southern Billiards. Both times it went in the top left pocket.

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.

LOL, I know the feeling. I'm not a big breaker. I've made 5 before, but not often. Zero, unfortunately, happens way way too often. I should do something about that sometime.

Check out Blackjack David Sapolis' article on "Mastering the Break" located on another pool forum ( if you don't know where that is, I'll post the link, but you probably can find it on your own.... LOL )

He shows how to line up correctly and make either a wing ball or the one in the side...

Excellent article.

Yesterday, someone said he noticed I break lazily... My answer: a ball went in...

Sometimes I break big to throw people off...

Cheers!

I've made 5 on the break more than a few times. I've made 6 maybe twice. Both times that I've made 6, I was hooked and lost those games.
 
i think i might have made 4 once, dont quite remember. i seem to snap the 9 a lot more than most people though, so i dont mind.

In 9 ball I've made 6 balls twice in the same set(needless to say the guy quit after that set. In I dropped 7 balls (5 solids and 2 strips) but i have to say my most memorable breaking feats have been making the the 8 on the break. Several times i've done 2 in a row and once i did it 3 times in a row in a race to 3 tourny. Oh and and a guy on my Valley team named Tony Larotta once offered me 100 to 1 odds on calling the 8 on the break right back at me in the corner pocket. He said I had to bet a minnimum of $100 but said I could pay him $10 a week if I lost. I thought seriously about it then declined and i'm sure you all can guess what happened when I broke.

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 was having a really good day once, at the "jillians arcade" pool room. I broke and put the nine in the same top left corner four times in a row.

Breaking ...

In 9 ball on a bar table, I have made 7 twice, and
6 maybe 4 times.
 
I played a local player in Madison, Wi once who made 5 on the break and when I commented on that being "a heck of a break" He said. "When I was younger I used to make all the balls on the break and the cue ball would run around the table looking for something else to hit." LOL One of my favorite lines.
