Do it RIGHT with these 6 STEPS - Break Training Manual

[@kirpalite]

Jasmine-- you are the best. You are a great teacher ( I was a teacher trainer at Ohio State University). You make things fun, and speak in plain language. Not to mention how endearing you are. You get an A+ from me!

[@boxman1859]

You have a phenomenal sense of humor. The videos you make are informative, helpful, easy to understand and definitely funny to keep interest and absolutely not dry! Kudos!!

[@alexandermuller4664]

Hahaha!!! I like the start of the video you made funny breaks. But I appreciate all of your teaching videos. Great job!

[@joelfields9807]

You and are hands down my favorite teacher. Not just the content but you have a way of explaining things that makes it easy to understand. I've been playing 26 years and my game has gone to the next level after the last 2 years watching your channel.

[@Bluehorseshoe4]

Always classy and great for the sport

[@natehall6120]

Great videos, JO is undeniably good at instruction.

[@truss6282]

I always love watching you break, Jeff DeLuna is amazing also and my all time favorite breaker= the great Django of course. Jasmine, you break with the best despite your petite size, every ounce of your energy transfer to that cue ball. Once again, I'd like to say that all your hard work on these videos is appreciated and we all love what you bring to our sport

[@FancyNancyChung]

LOL dem break reeneactments cracked me up. Working on breaks is something I am working on now. Thanks Jasmin!

[@eliluso]

vom Einfachen zum Schweren - vom Langsamen zum Schnellen - Vom Einfachen zum Komplexen - Sehr schönes Video mal wieder :)

[@jackdad7411]

You cram a lot of great info in this short video. The first 20 second is filled with good humor, It was so funny I had watch it a second time. Another great video. Thanks

[@sharonweik4156]

Thank you so much Jasmin! I am and have always been a terrible breaker....I NEED THIS VIDEO. You're a wonderful teacher.

[@jeschinstad]

Great video! Took me about five minutes to get past that intro with the beginner breaks, because they were so funny, I had to watch them over and over. :) At the height of my career, I used to do a single-handed break shot. I would use a closed bridge with a very long bridge length and stand with my feet parallel to the table. When I delivered the shot, as my cue was moving forward, I would let go of the bridge, stand up and rotate my upper body into the shot. It was incredibly powerful, but it took ages to perfect and I tried it a couple of years ago, with 4/5 miscues. Nothing lasts forever, I guess. But the fun thing is that everyone would always know when I was at the table, because my break was so much louder than everyone elses. :) But my point was really that I strongly recommend using a closed bridge on the rail. Because it gives great control and being high on the cue ball is not really an issue when you break because the tip is coming down so much anyway.

[@physicsguybrian]

Jasmin, you are a great player, extremely knowledgeable, excellent teacher, and so very lovely!!! Thank you for another outstanding video!!!!

[@cuemaker1]

Great videos from one of the best!

[@ericshaw7859]

Well done in an organized, easy to follow, step based self improvement layout. I look forward to seeing part two. Cute, funny, and a great sense of humour; no wonder you have to carry a stick around with you all of the time 😂

[@dirkrademacher2419]

Super Video vielen Dank Jasmin ich habe schon eine Menge von dir gelernt👍

[@parischristner8799]

Thank you so much for taking your time out of your busy schedule to help out us amateurs. I very much appreciate it. Good luck on your next tournament.

[@johnpalermo2247]

I am gonna practice this. It was great playing with you & meeting you in Vegas. You are a very true person & I appreciate you so much.

[@chrisaustin9936]

Thank you for the help with this game, it is a very hard game, I am always trying to get better, love when you give info about it, I appreciate what you’re doing on here, I definitely need it, thank you 😊

[@brettbarker8444]

Just watched first match of MC ‘23 and congrats on your brother’s golden break. I’ll always root for 🇺🇸 but love watching the level of pool the Europeans have. And with your videos I feel one step closer to understanding high level pool. Thanks so much! I take notes and share your videos regularly.

[@Robert-ln7yt]

Thanks for the video..... You are a very good teacher..... I enjoy the way you share the information with us..... It's not overwhelming or too technical... I will work on each step and figure out what is needed for me to improve. Thanks again🎉

[@DomNyce]

Love the pillow idea 💡👌

[@schweiserschweiser3397]

Ich liebe deine videos Jasmine, keep the good work ✊🫡

[@gretaambrose-evans8567]

Thank you so much Jas. You break everything down, and I am able to understand it so much better. You are a great instructor!

[@michealonwugbonu5768]

I love your shoes, Jasmin. Informative video 👍

[@ThomasIkemann]

You really adress EVERYthing I struggle with! Thank you! :D

[@vernonredmon7211]

I know some people that have a decent brake shot but could use to watch this. Will be sending this video to other. Thank you

[@benjaminhrabina4194]

Hilarious. Love it. So much personality

[@keeblerkelloggs]

Great video! Thanks for helping us amateurs!

[@adamwilliams6704]

This is wonderful! Thanks Jasmine! Is part 2 of this video series to be found here on youtube? Thanks!

[@lisacarver1128]

You make it fun ! Great humor , excellent instruction

[@johnnovak6386]

Excellent video! I'm one of those guys that was taught at an early age "hit it hard enough and something will go in" 😂. I appreciate this video giving me something to think about, practice, and actually get better at breaking rather than just hoping. Thanks!

[@benjaminhrabina4194]

Terry Osbourne, great player living in AZ watching me break and say “man, this table breaks tough”. Terry says “you sure it’s not your tempo timing and accuracy “. I’m like “why you SOB lolz”. He was exactly right.

[@maurersascha6236]

Voll mit top Infos. Wirklich ausgezeichnet gemacht. Danke!!!

[@ArielBaloy]

The best! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@davidtorres4229]

Uno de mis canales favoritos de billar, gracias por compartir tus conocimietos Jasmin

[@AaronMoline]

Really good advice. Never thought of the pillow idea! So much more to this video then the pillow, but hey... 🤷

[@vebnew]

Excellent instruction

[@pbuehner]

Best intro ever. Hysterical!

[@larrycleary9987]

Awesome as always!🎱

[@cokelover6375]

Thanks! You are awesome and I love learning from you!

[@chumoss2215]

Send me 20 bucks I'll teach you how to break..

[@hugocheng6243]

I’m your fans , you are amazing 👍

[@mangyanvlogger3694]

hahah the intro had me, you deserve an Oscar for this hahah

[@9ballrunout]

Great part 1.. have to ask.. were you thinking about breaking when you did dancing with the stars????

[@susannia7039]

Guilty as charged: I play well; can't break. Another thing I am guilty of is trying to copy your break - for 11 years; it is so beautiful, so athletic and so powerful. Why practice anything else? Ok no more copying. I will concentrate as you instructed here and try to find MY break, and await Part 2. You have 3 days 😊 Thank you Jasmin! By the way, where were you 11 years ago? 😄You have and always will be my absolute favorite player.

[@chacod.hastiin3775]

Nice guns! I'm just a scrub player who tore it up back in the day for pitchers. Got back into the game 20 years later. I see how many pro players got that jump action so I was curious. The open hand break for me is not a problem but I can see how for the beginner it would be a no no. Good tips, thanks.

[@kilbournwi9687]

Love the intro how you chase the CB when it flies off the table. LMAO ... can't wait for part 2.

[@Mike-r8m4j]

Hi Jasmine, these are great videos. Any chance you could do a video on break shots for straight pool??? Thank you so much!

[@RonaldJohnLopez]

Very nice video! For me, I use the Bruce Lee / Jack Dempsey method for power. Loose grip on cue until right before you strike the cue ball. Like their punch, it is explosive. 💣

[@traviswilson4752]

Great video what about the weight of the cue make a difference in terms of the performance of the break goes.

[@crashk1955]

What a cutie. Watched you win a tourney in Vegas back in the early 2000s.

[@BoboAthanassion]

Hello Jasmin, I'm new here and learning a lot from your videos. Are there any videos that you talk about various tip hardness or softness? I have two sticks. One is 21 oz. and the other is 18 oz. I like to play with light sticks. The 21 oz. stick will be my breaking stick. Should I use a super hard tip just for breaking? I hear hard tips are more likely to create mis-cues. Any thickness you can recommend for breaking? As for my lighter stick for pool play, will softness make a big difference in my performance? How much is too soft or just right? Or is it just personal preference? Thank you in advance and keep up the good work.

[@Fleuruh13]

Jasmine, awesome video. A question: does everything also apply for 8-ball? Or do you need to do some things in a different approach??

[@mabvutobanda1075]

Which text book do you use anyway. This is great

[@hanhngo5988]

youre sooooooo funny i love you jasmine pls make many more in a looooong time

[@jskjsk2444]

really funny and fun 😂😂😂😂

[@MikeWilson-fb6qv-mesa]

Thanks, Jasmine!! What is your break speed? I have been using the Predator break cue app. I am at 14 mph. How do I get up to 18? I have been trying to focus on the snap of my wrist and follow through downwards for 8 ball. G'day.

[@toddl2074]

Thanks Jasmine, very helpful! (btw -Stance)

[@masterninja1667]

@ 3:22 Ha! I see what you did there =P In all seriousness, I've always been a casual player that wants to improve. Just bought a house with a pool table in it, so now I'm ready to devote some time to my game, with the goal of competing in tournaments (not with real aspirations to win, but to have fun and meet other pool players). I have been really enjoying your videos! Thank you so much for making these!!

[@ERDG516]

Thank you for the videos. I think I play ok, but I can’t break to save my life. I also tried to leave the cueball in the middle of the table, but most times, it comes back to the kitchen area.

[@90ld3n60y]

Greetings from Indonesia! I was wondering how much does it cost me to buy that Jasmin Ouschans' pillow tool? 🙄😄

[@apostyle]

Your videos are always great, good concepts and explanations. Great sense of humor and you're cute too, I mean I had the wrong impression of you being a tough girl and always angry.

[@frankvanleeuwen2943]

I was told to shoot the break as a stopshot.. So put a ball on the spot down the table and put the cueball in the kitchen or breakbox and shoot your shots harder and harder until you lose controle.. The shot you can controle is your break power...and then you can experiment with places

[@zanethind]

One of my friends told me to use your shoulder because it's the strongest muscle in your arm and that's how SVB has a good consistent break and my other friend told me to through your body into and it's all about the timing and strike when stroking is at its fastest like your regular stroke when shooting a ball into a pocket

[@cristianmunteanu8765]

If you don't have a pool table at home it would be soo... funny to arrive at your local pool hall or club with a pillow in your hand.😂

[@yodaman5017]

Just curious, have you ever tried keeping your legs closer together and then step forward with your lead leg like baseball players do? I feel the back leg kick is much harder to time and takes power away as opposed to going into it.

[@adriandaigle8651]

Where can I buy the Jasmin Ouschan beak pillow? 😃🤘

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Great video, Jasmin! I’m curious, what’s the advantage of elevating the cue butt on the back stroke? I’ve seen SVB and a lot of other pros do this and always wondered why they don’t bring it back in a straight line. I’d appreciate any insight.

[@keithkruger7270]

Most of the top pro's actually try to hit SLIGHTLY down on the cue ball on their power breaks. It actually makes the cue ball leave the table slightly which gives that big pop that you from SVB where the cue ball bounces back in the air and dies mid-table. It makes it a little easier to make the cue ball stall and not move. If you hit very level, you actually have to hit slightly over center to put a little bit of follow on the cue ball because the rack carries more mass than the cue ball. If you hit dead center the cue ball rebounds too far away from the rack. Controlling that little bit of spin can be really hard to do when you are hitting the cue ball with maximum power, so the pros do the slightly down stroke instead.

[@jackflash8567]

Where can I buy the official Jasmin Ouschan Break Pillow? :)

[@chimantra]

One question if damidge the nervs in neck shoulders and back is it posible to learn good breaking?

[@Per409]

BIG Congrats on winning the Dr Pool tournament 🥰

[@jimmytanajaya7423]

Is there a breaking point on ball no.1? Centre or 3/4 ball? Also do we hit the white ball centre or give a little english?

[@gregoryuk]

I'm still to play 9 ball style pool but welcome tips on break. I see professionals hitting a particular point of the rack to sink a ball in the side pocket off the break. Works sometimes but not all the time. I just want to play well again! Who's currently watching the Mosconi Cup?

[@danielchile76]

Is my fear of possibly ripping the fabric of the table right? Can that happen??? I see Jasmin dragging the cue tip on the surface at the end of the break and ive always tried to avoid that. Any insight is appreciated...

[@djustine1]

Where can I get the breaking device you mentioned in this video

[@terrythomas4407]

I wanted to watch the whole video but I had to take a break. 😁

[@timmaney1003]

Do you just use center ball mostly

[@ylee512]

could you share insights on any league or big game are still using 1ball on the foot spot? Thank you. love from china!

[@gorillaj131]

Where did you get that break thing from

[@jefo4213]

Lmao Beautiful and Hilarious,

[@MohamedAli-or5hz]

From where I can get the break rak??

[@trueblu8]

She's the dopest. 🔥

[@ronaigner7708]

Would be nice to know what you’re aiming at?

[@MichelePearl]

That’s ME!

[@apolloistaphquibs5075]

The Django Bustamente break is a motion or art in motion

[@trueblu8]

I've always loved her.

[@gregorytaylor697]

Exactly what @kirpalite said. 💪JO💪

[@architectjerichovalencia7696]

Ahahaha cute!!!! I love you!!!!

[@Gary21259]

LMAO the beginning.

[@SpaceboyBilliards]

Haha i'm the 2nd type. I change my break every single rack until 1 is super awesome, then i try to replicate it, but already forgot what I did because i'm always in flow state 😂

[@Jonathan-cf7sm]

Finally ive been waiting for🫶🏻

[@DSLightning21]

11:28 - Yeah, $449 is too much for me (which doesn't include the case 🤷🏻‍♂️), so I'll need to invest in the Jasmin pillows instead, lol! 😅

[@francoiscouture9084]

Great videos thanks! Just to mention that quote about insanity (or rather stupidity) is from Rita Mae Brown, a civil rights activist, not from Einstein

[@azamazdo]

Crazy my break goes from a hovering view. Like I see inside my head an aerial veiw. And I can see ghost lines on the table.

[@capoman1]

You've got a strange elbow out to the side flare on you're break stroke, sorta like SVB.

[@martinolson761]

My wife and I will use your advanced pillow technique to improve our strike...thanks

[@shooterspooljen]

Working on the stance is more important than working on the stands.

[@DanLeniwiec]

Jasmin De Luna

[@Mr40styles]

Jasmine, I am a former boxer and I play pool. I am not a pro but I am an above average player. I have some theories that I believe have been helping me drastically with my brake that stem from boxing and I think you'd be interested in the concept. Let me know if you'd like to hear'em and I'll break it down for you

[@perfectiom3718]

lol sure above average player

[@katarzynawesolowska8149]

👏👏👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩🤩
