Posisjon on the white ball after break?
The best posision on the white ball after break are at middle of table(or is it not?), but that is not easy if you power breake.
How good are you to do this?
For example, 3 of 10, or 7 out of 10 or even 10 of 10 breaks?
Edit
Wrong spelling of "Posisjon"
Posision was it, and this time i hope it is right
My english is not my best, i hope you peoples can live / bear with me
Players used to try and stop the qball in the middle of the table between the side pockets,but nowadays i think alot of players now try to bring the qball up near the top spot and also try to have 1ball stop in that area also.
Trying to play for position on the 1-Ball, off the Break, is not real difficult or impossible. You first have to understand where the 1-Ball is going, after impact on the Break Shot, where the rack is hit in different spots. Then you have to have experience with the speed of the Cue Ball & travel of the 1-Ball.
Please tell me more about this :grin:

If we can live/bear with that Roy Steffenson fellow, we can certainly learn to give you plenty of slack.
"Position" for the white is in the eye of the beholder. Each type of break has it's preferred position play. Middle of the table is good for the white most of the time. Position of the white depends upon where you expect the lowest numbered ball on the table to be after the break.
I've got a new term for you. It's a little American pool slang. It's called, "SQUAT YOUR ROCK". That just means to have your cue ball go to a designated spot after the break and just sit there. Yes it is hard to do.

Beste hilsen,
Yes you are right.
I will try to get the white in middle, and try to Posisjon the white ball other places as well(much more difficult)

Mr. RS4,
Please do not share my secrets to my unique lingual capabilities.
(Left Side breaking) Actually you can hit the rack off to the left side, with some draw, make the wing ball & have the cue ball bounce off the left long rail, rebound toward the head string & the right long rail.
Meanwhile the 1-Ball is bounced off the rack into the right long rail & rebounds toward the left corner pocket.
Good Position shot.

The point of your BreakRak thingy confuses me though - it just helps you practice your break fundamentals, presumably, but how do you know you're hitting the one ball in the right place if you can't see where the balls are going? You could just be perfecting a poor break.
Of course, as some have pointed out, if you are tuning the break and rack, your may need the cue ball to land in a specific position or zone. However, in general middle of the table is good...
Break such that you hold the cue ball in the middle, and avoid letting it hit a rail... As Bob J. points out, if the cue ball isn't going to hit a rail on the break, then you won't scratch on the break.
As an alternative, if you are juicing up on the break and blowing the rack apart then you can easily kick whitey around to who knows where. One possibility, which may or may not work depending on the game and your break, is to draw the cue ball so that it comes back off the rack and hits the head rail, bounces, and rolls back toward the middle of the table. There is less traffic up top on the break, generally, and the cue ball is less likely to get kicked around.
I'm not saying that drawing as stated above is the best solution, it's just an option that some pros use, at least in 10 ball. It takes practice to see if it works with your break speed and stroke... And of course, if you are breaking from the side you can easily draw the ball into the top corner pockets for a scratch.

The positioning of the object balls is not something the breakrak can help with, it is true.
What is does is improve accuracy and power. Either can be the appropriate tool to change/ improve a poor break.
