![]() If you like defensive shots, it’s probably a great break for you. ![]() This could be good against some player who runs out a lot, but they're not so tactical. Because you break from the side, you are going to move the balls back and forth across the table and usually land on one side of the table. So we're going to try to push this ball and force it here.Īnd the problem with that break, to me, is that it leaves a lot of clusters. So the draw is going to help you push it because right now, it's not lined up. We're going to try to make the wing ball here (corner pocket), which is the 11 here. The idea is to shoot into the second ball (two ball) with bottom and a little left to get the cue ball back to the center. Of course, you can break from the other side, but I like to break from the left side. Usually I try to go as close to the rail as possible. I'm going to actually put the cue ball pretty far on the left side. This time I'm going to break towards the second ball, which is the 2 ball. 8 BALL 2 nd BALL BREAK - Breaking from the Side to Make the Wing Ball If you can control those and your cue ball, you're in great shape to run out. You can announce a lot of shots: four rails, two rails, but really in my opinion, the only ones you have to look at are the most important balls - the first three. There is so much contact between the balls in 8 Ball, it's pretty random. It probably got kicked at some points it would have been better closer to the middle. We have the cue ball somewhere in the middle of table. But in this case, I made the 14 exactly where I wanted it to go. There you go! The balls are not always going to go exactly where you want. I'm just going to try to make that second row ball here, so either the 14 on the left or the 5 on the right side pocket. ![]() ![]() You always want to have your cue ball land in the middle of the table to give you the best chance to make your next shot. You should use top, so the ball kind of jumps after impact and either hit this rail here and comes back, or goes straight back in the air and kind of stops in the middle. I go a ball and a half away - something like that. So once you get that, you're going to have to put your cue ball a little bit to the side of center. I like to put my cue ball there, a little to the right of the spot, so usually the second ball on the opposite side (14 ball here) has more of a chance to go than the 5 but will depend on which side of the table you break from. It sort of depends where you put your cue ball. I'm going to break into the thirteen from left of the head spot, and I'm going to try to make the 14 out there or the five there (in the side pockets). This first break is probably the most common one it is the one we use in every tournament because, in my opinion, it’s the one you can control the most. We're going to cover 8-ball, 9-ball, and 10-ball, how to break, how to rack, and how to analyze the rack for the best breaking results. Hi, my name is Florian Kohler, also known as Venom, and today we're going to talk about breaking and racking strategies. ![]()
