The Dutch not just mj and bjs anymore

They obviously have experience at one pocket....
...but I don’t think too much of that head ball break.

Its always interesting when a different group of
people get a hold of the game.

I dont think it's as aggressive as a traditional break
and should the corner ball leak out your in big trouble.
 
Regarding the Netherlands, don't overlook the space cake. In about 1983, I was in a café in Amsterdam and noticed something on the dessert menu called space cake. I wondered what is was, and was told by the waitress that it was a cake that tended to made you a bit spacy. It sounded interesting, so I ordered it. Turned out it was a cake with some hashish baked in. I can confirm that it does make you a bit spacy. I'm on the space cake wagon for 36 years now.

No me neither. It seems like it could occasionally produce a monster result if lucky but not often enough to make it worth it. The few I’ve watched he sold out a shot and then failed to give himself a favorable table.

I’ve actually ran into a few guys that can obviously play the game well but have no idea how to break. They just run into the middle of the stack or run into the last ball, no inside or any real plan that I can see. It’s surprising because that’s the first thing I practiced. I could break like I knew what I was doing, and then I just shot at every tempter and single ball I saw laying around.

The break I saw in this video...he almost hit it perfect...and the other guy ran 6 balls.
...the traditional break, if you almost hit it almost perfect, the man’s in jail.

When I started, I use to kick off one rail...nobody made a ball after I broke....
...but in the long haul, hitting first and second ball pays off....IMO

Yup...the standard break is pretty much always the way, unless trying something special.

Between yesterday and now, the video was taken down because of music playing in the background.

Lame :)
