How to Make the 9-Ball on the Break | 9 on the Snap

Learn why and how to make the 9-ball on the break. Stop giving free games to your opponents via a Golden Break! In this video, I show what gaps are responsible for the 9-ball traveling straight towards the corner pocket after the break. Also, I demonstrate a way to gap-rack to make the 9-ball on the snap consistently with a magic rack. By Jake from World of Pool and Billiards.

great video I loved the editing too!

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

Thanks! I am still working on improving the quality of my videos, and spend a ton of time in editing. If you have any quick tips, I would love to hear them. It is hard to get a lot of interesting camera angles working by myself and with such a 2 dimensional game such as pool.

[@dalebiggs434]

I saw a nine ball break in a book in the 80'S and started using it and had great success on making the nine ball on the break. So it is all about where the cue ball is placed,the English and how hard you break.

[@lumberjackhomes3927]

Love the science behind this. Now we know how the 9 ball is made. So if we are racking our opponents rack we know what not to do in order for them to not make the 9.

[@tomburns890]

I have practiced the 9 ball break more than most have spend playing pool & did a statictical study on the 9 ball break in college. Then if you add in all the 9 ball breaks I’ve watched others hit it’s been in the millions. I was always amazed when the 9 rolled straight in to the left or right corner. What a sight and like what caused that. Lol. Good video. Cheers

[@Stellarffxi]

This is impressive...

[@rickyhineman4124]

I play in a CPA league (and if you don't know the rules, 9 on the break is a guaranteed 2 points and new rack), and I've gotten so many 9 breaks just from people not racking tight. I also got an 8 break once on an experienced player who should have known to rack tighter. I would say most people that play in the league don't even know that loose racks raise the chances of a 9 break substantially. I've only ever given an opponent a 9 break once because I know how to rack, but the equipment (the rack and table themselves) make it extremely difficult to keep everything tight. Thanks for the information, now it all makes sense!

[@MidNightSnowFawl]

Nah

[@neonicplays]

Why don’t they make a 9 ball rack?

[@rickyhineman4124]

@@neonicplays probably because they're too cheap. The place we play is mainly a bar, that also has 12 or so pool tables, but the business owners don't take very good care of the equipment. Half the tables don't even have a rake to go with them lmao

[@MidNightSnowFawl]

I also play CPA.... You're team is suppose to rack for you. The tighter the rack- better chances for 8 or 9 off break... Looser the rack... Harder to get movement on the balls.

[@neonicplays]

This is the second video I’ve watched of yours. Wasn’t sure because you look high. But I really like the quality of your vids.

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

Lol, thanks

[@kevinb314]

You could use this to try to make the 9 run towards the corner with pocket speed. So if you're playing a guy whos significantly better than you or something, you can try to set up for an easy early combo (and just hope you make another ball somewhere). Just a thought if you really needed to 'go for broke'.

Color of money!

[@kentdominicdato6257]

Can this be applied on a pro or money game match?

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

Not really, this will be spotted by any pro player pretty easily, and it is technically and illegal rack, so I don't recommend using it unless you are just showing off for fun.

[@davidpiscopo3774]

Question: On the break I sunk the 1 ball first then 9 ball followed in. What's the rule? Thank you.

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

Its still a win

[@davidpiscopo3774]

Thank you.

[@bluecrossandblueshieldoffl6355]

Dead on straight to the one w stun 2 tips below center. Tight rack only.

[@ericshaw7859]

You cover some great material. I have one suggestion: talk slower & go to the next image slower or repeat balls moving to consume the extra time needed because you are talking slower. I am able to keep up without issue but I know some other people have viewed your videos and don’t subscribe because of the pace. Good luck in your endeavours.

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

Thanks for the feedback. I have heard the same thing over and over, and I am trying to slow down the pace a bit in my newer videos using advice similar to what you said.

[@toneyr.chappell7988]

I meant to say...You should not have any gaps in a rack

[@zofes.]

I thought it's a 8BP Video 😂😂

[@finkelmana]

This is why almost all tournaments dont count 9 on the breaks as a win. Also, they dont allow magic racks, sardo tight racks, etc, anymore as it makes making a ball too easy on the break.

[@raydology9584]

😂

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

A lot of places don't allow them, but some still do. Here in Korea, every major semi-pro and pro tournament uses the magic rack, though you couldn't use this 9-ball break.

[@user-by7kc5kf6d]

Never allow someone to break their own rack.

[@Rickyy321]

That’s basically what I learned here lol

[@kevinb314]

Those are the rules in some tournaments though. Like the one I'm going to right after finishing this video haha.

[@sufferinggift2345]

Yea, but some leagues have you rack your own break.

[@quinnbaker1935]

Just ask Corey Deuel

[@Medinnersready]

Great job but why is your voice in competition with that annoying music…

[@philmirsum9340]

6:02 you can see the gaps between the balls in the rack so thats not good

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

The whole point of the video is to identify which gaps cause this to happen because this wont happen with a perfect rack.

[@Hithere-ek4qt]

Check Dupree's video on sinking the nine ball on the break. Very clear and he actually demonstrates doing it. By the way the background music is very annoying.

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

Dupree's video is the reason I made this video. It is a clear example of people not understanding why the 9-ball heads straight towards the corner pocket with the break that he performed. It has much less to do with where you break from, and everything to do with how you rack. If you watched the entire video, I demonstrate making the 9-ball on the break multiple times in a row and show you the exact gaps in the rack that cause the 9 ball to go that direction. I would like to see you make a video using a perfect rack and breaking the way Dupree did to make the 9-ball on the break... cuz its not going to happen.

[@4G64SicKShoT]

You hit the 2nd ball barely missing the head ball

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

But that would be an illegal hit, though this would be an illegal reck.

[@4G64SicKShoT]

@@WorldofPoolandBilliards some people like to say hit the head ball and 2nd "at the same time"

[@toneyr.chappell7988]

U should have any gaps!

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

That is the point, but sometimes there will be a gap no matter how you rack it due to the equipment

[@paulhan3314]

So therefore the golden break happens when there is a gap between balls. So therefore if perfectly racked 9 balls, golden break will never ever happen.

[@AA-bn3pm]

I thought nine ball in back pocket on break doesn’t count ?

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

It depends on the rules you are playing by.

[@machooritz8720]

Yea but you’re not racking then ?

[@janelincoln7635]

The best thing you can do, to prevent the 9 going to the pocket, is playing 10 Ball ;)

[@gavin5410]

Lol

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

but then the 9 can go anywhere in the rack and it has a higher probability of being pocketed.... (sarcastic response)

[@deanwalsh1352]

If the balls are racked correctly you won’t be able to sink the 9

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

The point is that you cant always get a good rack when playing on a table or with balls where there will always be gaps. The point of the video is to show you where not to leave a gap.

[@trythinkingforachange4201]

Music is annoying. Do you want us to hear the music, or hear what you are saying?

[@nicholasr79]

Wasted Youth! Corner pocket...

[@crevisslim598]

My only complaint is why figure this out with a gap when a real game will be all frozen. You aren't figuring it out this way. Won't benefit a real situation unosyou figure it out on a perfect rack

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

So, the original reason I did this was because I would lose a lot of games when not using a magic rack and racking for my opponent. I knew that gaps being present were the issue, but they were impossible to get rid of completely. So, I set out to figure out which specific gaps were responsible for this occuring. Now that I know, haven't given up another automatic 9 ball on the break to anyone by focusing on keeping the 2 balls behind the 9 frozen.

[@buster5643]

This is also beneficial to know where the gaps are in case u or your opponent leaves a cluster after the break, knowing where the gaps are and how the balls will move will make it much simpler to call a shot out of the cluster (under the right conditions)

[@dominicpiscopo7915]

Lol this is no skill this is cheating. Anyway u build up wrong. The 9 lays in the foodpoint not the 1.

Maybe where you play it does, but the 1 ball is still on the spot here. Also, I know it is cheating, and it is kind of the purpose of the video to show people how to rack to prevent it when racking for your opponent.
