Very helpful instruction!

Nice analysis!

Great video Anthony. I’ve tried breaking all over the table and I always end up coming back to the center of the table. If I’m playing an opponent that can run out better than I can , which is most of the time lol , I just don’t hit em as hard. I’m great at safety play and it gives me a better chance that way. IMO.

Your last break (at 10:00) was a thing of beauty. Great run out position. I liked your break strategy discussion, too. I have played around with 2nd ball break to put the 8 ball in play, but to me it’s not worth it. Probability of pocketing the 8 too low to justify a poorer spread. Keep ‘em coming Anthony. Enjoy your KY accent, reminds me of home (Texas).

Thank you!

Nice video, Anthony. I wonder if you have any tips on breaking with a template or magic rack versus breaking with the normal triangle rack

I completely agree with your statements. However, as you mentioned I get nice spreads, but I have had very little success making a ball on the break, when breaking with a "center" of the table approach. Just to through a number (based on my perception), I'd say that my success rate is 10 out of 100 breaks whenever I have pocketed something. I said "center" because, overtime, I have tried several cue ball positions around the center (some same as yours and other pros). However, results seem similar, around 10% success rate. Any advice?

Great video Anthony! I noticed your first couple second ball breaks Didnt pocket a ball. I know you said to aim full on that second ball. Now I know most the time you probably wont use this break but if you do I'd like your help figuring this out. Ive noticed for myself when I second ball break if I aim full on second ball I make a ball less often then when I aim just a little maybe like a quarter inch closer to the 3rd ball (still hitting second ball) with same half tip side half tip low with that same pop to it I tend to make that wing ball more often or the second ball on opposite side in hitting from banks one rail into side pocket. Could that just be that I'm playing on a smaller table so the angle takes different? Let me know what you think if you have any comment in this. Btw I love the videos you put out there and keep it up I enjoy learning from you.
