Breaking at the world pool masters?
I have been watching repeats of the world pool masters 9 ball from earlier in the year and noticed that the soft cut break (which I don’t like) wasn’t being used as much, and players seemed to be breaking more towards the centre of the table than the edge.
I think it may have been down to the rack being a little higher up the table.
Was this the case and is this the way to go for the game of 9 ball rather than using the break box.
also wanted to note that the suggested category for this and a previous question was sports>billiards, could Y!A be trying this out to see if we get rid of the stupid swimming questions.
There are different ways tournament organizers have tried to deal with the soft cut break: moving the rack up so the 9 ball is on the spot, breaking from the box, and requiring a certain number of balls to cross the head string. I prefer one of the first two options. I guess at the pro level, anything’s ok though. At the lower levels, I haven’t seen anyone really master the soft cut break and be able to run out as often even if the balls are spread. It can be a good defensive move, so I wouldn’t take it away from the game.
