Question on the opening break

If I'm understanding correctly, CB "A" is how you are shooting the shot and CB "B" is the more conventional. Is that close?

Note that in example "A" the CB is always coming off adjacent rails which maintains running english and if not hit with exact speed control could rebound and run off the head rail. Where as example "B" has the CB going from long rail to long rail and thereby reversing and killing the CB as it approaches the head rail.

Yep

After seeing pretty much everyone breaking from B I started to think that it must be a rule. I've actually never done an opening break from B so I can't really comment on better or worse results.
 
Great advise regarding the break in 14.1 and I can see how this all is supposed to work now.

I just need to practice until I can actually do it...:cool:
