Pool Lesson: EVERYTHING About Breaking 9-Ball (1-Ball On The Spot)

What's going on everybody?!?!
It's been well over a year since I last showed how to break a 9-ball rack in two different ways. Well in today's video, I'm going to teach you everything I've learned since then which will allow you to highly predict where ALL 9 balls will go after the break!

!!! UPDATE !!! I just noticed that I misspoke on where the 4th right ball (5-Ball) goes on the break. I stated that it goes to the RIGHT SIDE RAIL before it settles in the predicted spot, when in fact it goes to the SHORT RAIL and then still goes to the predicted spot! I just received an email saying that Outsville has 30 more sets of the Code Red AccuRacks. Get them while you can!!! outsville.com/collections/accu-rack-racking-templates/products/code-red-accu-rack-complete-template-set-solo-diamond-9-and-pro-10-flat-packaged?variant=39289101877345

"Even if you master the break, you still have to be able to shoot" 🙌 My thoughts exactly 👏

[@BangTimePool]

The break master!

[@Eagljck]

That's a very generous and valuable contribution to the Pool Game. Thank you Professor Chris 😍

[@donavinharris5995]

thanks chris for the information on the 9 ball breaking .....Philly is finally starting the league back up on the April 12th and I will be using your knowledge of Pool to my advantage ....

[@Rubster760]

This was valuable and much appreciated information Chris. Thanks for taking the time and sharing bud. 🤩👍. Keep up the great work. This video is a gem. 🔥

[@tristanplays7377]

Your info is just BIG BRAINS

[@PersistentWolfBilliards]

Great video again Chris! The information is definitely useful and I can't wait to get on the table today to utilize it in practice.

[@josejoubert4395]

gotta tell you, i love how clear you explain and show your videos - thank you in advance

[@vginaman]

great video. Suggestion for next video: Break with the template, then have someone rack for you with a standard rack and explain how to adjust based on what the balls are doing.

[@nathanblaxall8703]

Wow you're a really good teacher, and also you're sharing really valuable information - thank you!

[@ronthepoolstudent]

Second time watching this video…excellent stuff Lil’ Chris, great help! 👍🏻💪🏻

[@mafiamike78259]

Great information. 9 ball is my fav game.

[@marthalavigne1651]

Good information 8n this video. You are so helpful!!!

[@ronthepoolstudent]

Excellent and informative LC. Thank you for making this video covering the break, I’m heading to the table right now…👍🏻😊

[@scooperjs]

Another very useful lesson. Thanks.

[@ChristianDeLucia]

I don't know what happened, but this is like the 3rd time I've subscribed to ya 🤣. KZbin is crazy. Good stuff! 9 and 10 ball are my favorite games, Maybe a 10 ball break video??

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

I already have a 10-ball breaking video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnrOdoptmcSWaLs I just haven't mastered it like I have the 9-ball rack!

[@ChristianDeLucia]

@@LilChrisPoolPlayer Nice!!! Didn't catch that one, yeah the 10 ball break is definitely one of the more complex breaks.

[@densattv4861]

Thanks Chris, this will help me improve my break. Just started my youtube channel & I'm one of your subscriber.

[@jascobos]

Great informative video

[@pmchamlee]

You, Sir, are Fabulous! Had I had more free time, I would have pursued perfecting Pocket Billiards in my earlier years. Now, at 75 years old, I shall "go back to school" and endeavor to 'improve my game! See what an inspiration you are!?

[@ericpoolguysimpson2954]

Great to see the Predator break app with how the spreads happen 👏👍

[@Corner4Billiards]

Great stuff

[@MisterEDit1]

I will have to give this a go. My 9ball break has always lacked the consistency 👍

[@bigjerm210ify]

The ultimate break technician

[@juansosa644]

Nice video. Thanks. Very helpful 👌 I am concerned about the speed because some players may argue that may not be a legal break. Most leagues don't have that rule, I think, but it may create friction between players. It's very good information though because now I know how to rack for my opponent and myself. Great content 👌

[@andraskoleszar9759]

Wow, that is consistency on an other level. Amazing explanation! How come you put the one ball on the spot, is that the APA format? I thought they require the 9ball to be on the spot

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

The 1-ball on the spot is the "standard" way of racking for 9-ball. Then came along racking the 9-ball on the spot, along with the 3 point rule. I haven't dabbled too much with the 9-ball on the foot spot, but I may start looking into it.

[@andraskoleszar9759]

@@LilChrisPoolPlayer Havnig watched your streams I feel like you are fairly consistent with running these racks, so experimenting with the 9 ball on the spot, may be worthwile! 😍

[@intercrew99]

Who the heck have you thumbs down. Great info

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

Haters will be haters! 🤷‍♂️

[@stefan3225]

I can’t keep the 1 ball off the bottom rail and still use enough power to get a nice spread on my 7’ table. Going to keep playing with it until I figure it out. Thanks Lil’ Chris!

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

Are the balls at least going where I demonstrated, and they’re just going too far?

[@davepaul118]

Great video. How long have you played Chris?

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

I've been playing now for 23 years

[@ericcroft4873]

Lots of very good information about he break. Not many people give the exact information like you have here. Is the Code Red Accu rack better than the original Outsville racks?

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

I didn't see a difference, but I really like how the red contrasts with the blue felt.

[@danielrice5474]

Thanks for the video as always. Don't the template type racks effect the balls when breaking? Its a wonder them type are allowed if they do.....

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

I've only seen a template rack affect a ball when it slowly rolls along or across the rack. At a medium or fast pace, they have no affect on a ball.

[@nirsharony5447]

Great video! Question: as it is your table, you have complete control over where the top of the rack is. When going to pool halls, I am not sure that all the tables have a mark for the top rack ball and even if they do, that it is aligned correctly in relation to the table. Is it legal for the players to position the rack as they see fit on the table or do they have to follow a strict position?

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

I wouldn't say "strict position", but if the table has a foot spot then you'll most likely try to get the head ball right on the foot spot. If the table doesn't have a foot spot, you'll likely line the rack up with the center diamond of the short rail and then try to push the rack straight until you think the head ball is lined up with the foot string. The information in this video should allow you understand what could be the cause of the rack not breaking as expected.

[@Rubster760]

Would you believe me if I told you.... I would be first like 🤩👍.

[@repentedheart]

Chris sir can you please make a video on the diamond system & how to count the diamonds on a pool table sir.

[@Corner4Billiards]

Chris can vouch, I have a couple of videos on the Diamond System that you can check out until Then.

Hehehe... Wrong video 😉

[@alphonsowalker6550]

Hey coach is a Viking a good pool stick with a low deflection shelf for a Person that's a immediate player or what do you recommend

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

Vikings are good pool cues! If you go back to my earlier videos, I'm using my Viking VM8.

[@alphonsowalker6550]

@@LilChrisPoolPlayer ok should I use low deflection

Thank you Chris. Outsville appreciates the shoutout! 😀Please reach out to Chris Renfro on Facebook Messenger. He would like to thank you as well!

[@songoybembe]

Hi. The hit to cue ball is stun shot?

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

Not exactly... I'm hitting slightly above center, whereas a stun shot is slightly below center.

[@nirsharony5447]

Regarding the rules. Besides the 1 ball, do the players have a choice in how to arrange the other balls in the rack? As you pretty much know where the 1 ball is going to go, you want to place the 2 ball in such a way that it will be "easier" to go from 1 to 2. Given this knowledge, do tournaments or leagues force the 2 ball to start off from a specific spot in the rack so that players will not take advantage of this knowledge?

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

Everyone should know that pattern rack is shunned upon. In most tournaments that I've participated in, down the middle of the rack will be 1 - 9 - 2. The other 6 balls are "randomized". I've seen to where if the 2-ball is caught not racked in the back, it's either a loss of turn and the incoming player plays on or re-racks and breaks.

[@ericlyons11]

Now time for the 10 ball break again.

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

That's next on my list!

[@kienphan527]

Cú phá của bạn rất tốt mong bạn chỉ giáo cho mình bằng tiếng Việt Nam Mình cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều

[@rickdecarlo]

Not trying to be an ass, but it would be nice if you could turn down your lighting slightly, I can barely make out the balls on the near end of the table. Great video.

[@tonyparmar7647]

Yes but how are these effected with a stock rack most tournaments and leagues use stock rack.

[@Jack-wv9dm]

Old Intro's Back!!!

[@bobhenson1433]

I’m a bit confused: The average break speed of the 5 examples was between 10 and 11 MPH. Then, you say the top speed was 18+. What am I missing?

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

That was for anyone that was looking at the break speed app close enough and saw that MY current top speed was at 18.66mph. If I was using the app for the very first time, and it didn't have a top speed recorded, I'm more than certain someone would've ask what is my top break speed. That's why I demonstrated what my top speed break is and to show that "POWER" isn't really needed to get a consistent break.

[@jaberoujourney]

Where is your BK Rush with the revo shaft?

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

It's in my case for when I go out. What you see here is what I use in my KZbin videos now.

[@jaberoujourney]

@@LilChrisPoolPlayer OK cool...awesome content. 💯🔥👊

[@larryn1929]

How about a break with the 9 0n the spot and within the box?

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

I demonstrate that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZOpqItjq8SHg6s I just haven't spent enough time practicing breaking with the 9-ball on the foot spot to give you similar information like this video.
