Here's another option:
1 on the spot. No break box. 3 balls must cross headstring or be pocketed.
Yes, this results in the wired corner ball. However, you still must smash the rack to meet the headstring requirement. So, the person who can smash the rack AND control the CB, will have better success. This will make the break look like all the breaks from the 80's and 90's, before the soft break was commonly used.
On a 1 on spot, no break box, and soft break allowed, a weaker player with less CB control can be just as effective as a stronger player with better CB control.
