SVB break too big?

I watched the Poison Dp tourney via Bigtruck this weekend, and Ray did yet another fantastic job bringing us all the coverage! One thing that I never thought I would say, but did it seem as though Shane's break shot seemed too big for the table? On a Diamond, or at all the other tourneys I have seen him at, his break seems to be the winning factor for him, however on these tables, at this room, the break shot ( cueball) seemed to land almost back at the head rail, instead of just past center. Could it be that the table couldnt "handle" so to speak his monster break shot, causing him to take 2nd to Mika? Thoughts.......
 
It's possible, on the other hand ... if the table is less likely to swallow up balls on the break, you have to break harder to make up for it. And he always parks the head ball near the corner at the head of the table anyway :P

I can't even figure out what he does to get that backwards jump. It seems to defy the laws of physics. It's like it flies backwards so hard that any amount of topspin on the ball is fine, it will eventually cancel out and squat. What an amazing thing. And what's happening with that 1 ball? It moves so slowly considering how hard he's hitting them, just travelling 7 feet or so. Is it like the 1 is transferring most of the energy to the rest of the rack and all that's left is causing it to just gently roll towards that corner? Something for the physics guys to answer.
 
Some guys just have days they cant execute to their full ability, even SVB and his break
 
Yes, Shanes break seemed a little off, especially in his matches with Mika.
Mika imo had the better break in the finals. Interesting matches, thanks Big Truck.
 
I noticed Shane was breaking from the middle left of the table when he normally breaks from middle right....could that have anything to do with it?

The game of 9ball is flawed. It is the least demanding of any pro game I know.

Maybe so, but this is 10Ball we are talking about. :shocked:

I had a great time as always in Louisiana!!

FYI, I have some good discussion and video demos of these effects here:

Shane vs Donny Mills

stroke is what breaks the balls! Shane doesn't have too jump in the air or get the back leg into it. (which is a waist, like Jr. Banks) Shane lets the speed of his stroke control the break. So you are saying ( is shanes stroke too fast-wrong.) His advantage is he is able to control the speed!! Remember the Tar match up game in Flordia- where he used the soft break like his opponent Donny and at like 75-80- he came back with the powerful stroke on the break . mark
