He's checking the tangent line.

I'm not surprised these 2 can't figure out Max is checking the T-line to see where his Q ball will hit the rack. As much as Bobby talks about bottom, middle and top ball impact on the rack you would think he'd get it. I hate the constant criticism of the players strategy, and the certainty they know the best patterns. Always annoying on these streams.

He's estimating what ball he would probably hit, in the pack, if he just hit center cue ball. You can always adjust the path of your break ball with some 'English." When doing this you are also calculating the probability of the cue ball coming off the pack and winding up in the corner pocket with a scratch.
