It is primarily because you only have 24 to 30 inches of pocket space to fit the balls.
But consider this: How many of the balls ever hit one of the rails? On many breaks, fewer than half may actually hit a rail. And fewer still hit two or more rails. Since the pocket holes represent a pretty small percentage of the total length of the four rails, it doesn't see odd to me that you can could up "dry" on the break now and then.thinman said:You break the rack in a game of 8 ball.
