Wu has the hardest break with consistent control that I've ever seen. Bustamante and a few others break harder but with less control.

No way, if you have seen wu at the WPC (saw all his matches) and I was at the world pool masters you would know that he has a very hard break but not very good controll. Bustamante used to be known as having the best break in terms of power and controll but over the years it has been copied and now many young players break very hard. Alex def. has great control in his break and great power looking at his size.

Another guy who has a lot of power in his break is Martel (not surprising considering his size).

For someone you guys might not know see this:

Found this on the net:

Wu Yu-Lin was 2004 (defeated Wu Chia-Ching) and 2005 WPA World Junior champions. It was described by Celtic on ¢Ïzbilliards forum :

"The finals was the only interesting match, Wu vs Wu, while most of the people figured Chia-Chang the favorite those people were not really looking at the breaking skill. Yu-Lun Wu probably has the best break in pool, not just the juniors, I mean of anyone in the world a 15 year old kid breaks the balls better then anyone. He snaps in 2 balls on a average break, 3 is not at all uncommon, and if he only makes 1 ball it is a shock. This is the same table that Albin, John Morra, and others could not string racks on because they could not make balls with their breaks so Yu-Lun's success was not simply a easy table to break on. Plus the control of Yu-Lun's break is phenomenal despite the massive power, the cueball comes off the pack and stops dead center of the table. The kid is tiny but he snaps his wrist and really turns his hip into the break with a awesome followthrough. Chia-Chang's break failed him in this match, he is the better shot, more a pro style stroke like a Bustamente compared to a compact straight simple stroke of Yu-Lun that would mimick maybe Jim Rempe pretty well. Yu-Lun still shoots phenomenal, he simply does not miss pots, he may not spin the balls in like Chia but with his powerful break and simple effective stroke he makes you pay for any time you let him at the table huge. You miss you are probably going to lose 3 games before you see the table again. This is how Chia-Chang got owned, he broke and scratched or came up dry and it would cost him multiple games before he got out of his chair again."

hardest breakers: no order
Kucharo
Francisco b.
Jamie Baraks-he breaks alot harder than nevel.

As far as Making a ball on the break, cueball control, getting a shot after the break, and power combined Johnny Archer no question.

I have watched Baraks play, and he doesn't break that hard on a bar box anyway, but it is a very good and controlled break. As far as a bar box (haven't seen his big table break), you would be hard pressed to find someone that broke harder and better than Coy Lee Nicholson from down
Dallas way.
 
Here in NoCal I like a guy named Mike Mitchell. His break can be shockingly hard.................Marc

A couple of years ago I watched him win Sardo racks on their contest, he has a very good, consistently fast break.
 
this topic reminds me of the loooong drive competitions. every time I watch one, I say....who the heck are these guys? :D not that the named players in this thred are unknowns, I just don't put much creedence in breaking hard if there is no control.

I'd like to know who has the best combined break percentage....power/control of cueball/ball made/shot on next ball. The control part could be subjective since you can park it, then get kicked in.

1) Larry Nevel
2) Charlie "Hillbilly" Bryant

These 2, by far, break harder than anyone on the planet!

That is so true. I have the pleasure of watching him play every once in a while and the guy breaks like a champ. People that have been around longer than i have say that his break isnt what it used to be and I dont see how i could be any better than it is now.

I dunno if Kucharo gambles anymore, but ask Larry Nevel or Bryant if they want to have a break speed contest with him using a radar gun or whatever. If Jon doesn't gamble like he said, for sure someone would bet on Jon. You never know, this might be some interesting action. But again, I guarantee you they can't break as hard as Kucharo.

Cuetech- if he had money would bet everything on Kucharo :D
 
There's a young lad in the Battle Creek area that I would put up against anyone in terms of a hard break....his name is Chad Palmer

WITHOUT A DOUBT, LARRY NEVEL. It is amazing. I watched him break a brand new protype predator break cue one time on his third break. IT is unbelievable to watch.

That's because Baraks backs off alot, 34-36mph at the Iowa state tournament a few years ago, guys from Ia, Ill, and have played on the Midwest casino tour, midwest tour, and the viking tour, know what I'm talking about. Baraks can spot Nevel a few mph if they matched up under a radar gun.
