3 BEST Ways To Break With 9 On The Spot! (No Breakbox)

[@illusioniser]

No one explains the cut break! Not only did you provide a guide, you provided a detailed guide with potential pitfalls and solutions! Superb video

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thank you sir!! 🙏🏻😄👍🏼

[@jasonjohnstonbaugh1080]

Hands down, you have the best informational videos out right now. Your drills are top notch and very humbling, your info and directions given are clear and concise, and above all, the stuff you do, just makes sense and greatly helps my game. I have increased immensely since I have started watching your stuff. You are one of my favorite players to watch. Thanks for making the pool realm so much better

[@jasonnieuwenhuis335]

As I move up the divisions the break starts to make the difference between winning and losing. Thanks for this, I’ll try all of them.

Nice work For me no 1 Breaker in the world is svb.

[@akhil7110]

Niels you are my top three favorite players of all time along with reyes and svb. The reason for that is two fold - a) you are an absolutely phenomenal player but b) the way you are giving back to the pool community with these amazing videos that are good in communication, detail, and precision is quite fabulous. I am a huge fan now!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Wow, thanks Akhil!!! Appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@keithscarlett2911]

Congratulations on how far you went in the US Open I was pulling for you

[@millsbobster]

in the break at 6:13, you didn't need to worry about the 3 ball rule because you made 3 on the break, Neils -- great stuff, Thank You for fully describing these configurations of the cut break!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yes exactly. That was a mistake. The balls flew in so fast I was confused and thought in my mind I made 2 while even saying 3 😂🤷‍♂️ therefore I felt I got away with it when the 6 just touched the line

[@PerfectMarketingNow]

Great video. Can u pls make a video on how to break for 8 ball?

Tnx!! Will put it on the list 😄😄

One more Tip down on the Cueball and 2. Move the Cueball back to the Rail (Just for my self Hit). All other Factors was same safe ;-) Greetings from Berlin

[@SenseiNatePlaysPool]

Nice info on the 9 on the spot break! It's in season right now with all the tourneys ;) You should do a breaking series! 9 ball, 1 on the spot, template, no template, 10 ball and 8 ball variants. If I had to guess, most of your viewers are amateurs and league players that play most 9 ball games 1 on the spot with a triangle rack OR 8 ball on a barbox (at least in the USA). Any tips for those players on those breaks/table conditions? As usual, your content is practical and informative. Thanks!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yep a series is the plan 😄👍🏼🙏🏻🔥

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Hope you liked the workout Jason! 👊😃

[@olavodias]

Another excellent video! One thing that I always wanted to understand was the way that some pro players break... where they aim very low on the cue ball. Perhaps you could shed some light on that topic too?

[@alucardx1234]

Typically this is because on a firmer break when they bring their body into it, in the final forward stroke, the cue raises up

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Good question!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

That's totally correct. Because the body raises up, for some too much, then they compensate with aiming lower to prevent the cue ball from getting topspin.

[@olavodias]

Thanks for answering! I’ve been trying to do it but I might be missing something… I will try harder hehehe

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Good luck!!

[@tomburns890]

Good video. In your opinion when breaking from the box with the 9 on the spot do you think it’s a better strategy to do the cut break & always try to make the 1 ball in the side or to break to get position on the 1 ball down table? Thanks

Niels, as always, Great Instruction and explanation. I'm curious, you mention the cloth on your table as being worn. On the video it looks brand new, how often do you install new cloth on your table?

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Haha I clean it before the video so it still Looks good. I change about once per year on average cause I’m Also traveling so acutely every 6-8 months of play

[@jonathanroberts6099]

Niels, how do these tips change when not using a magic rack?

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

With the same break rules then definitely use the firmer break cause the balls Will open up tougher so you need more pace 👍🏼👍🏼

[@fckgrtlr8441]

I don't like the kitchen rule... It was invented to avoid softbreaks. But when you break like hulk and get unfortunate with the balls, it shouldn't be a foul break in my opinion. Btw a nice video as always. My wife always laughs when I lip sync your intro😂😂

Hello Niels, great video again :) Thanx for sharing your knowledge, it's super for us amateurs ;) Got a question on this one: if in a game you are struggling with your break, do you keep searching your own solutions (by changing this or that like you explain here), or are you maybe tempted to (try to) copy your opponents break? Or is that a bad idea?

No always a good idea to see what’s working for him/her. If you have that same break in your arsenal than good plan to try it out! 😄👍🏼

Would you do the same on a 7 foot table with a normal triangle rack? Is there a secret for that?

[@marcschoenstedt5350]

Where do you aim the 1 for the second break? It looks like you aim that the one comes between the corner pocket and the 1 or 2 diamond on the short rail

[@tomburns890]

Ok so just got down watching numerous match highlights from the recent 2024 premier tourney. 9 ball on the spot & breaking inside the box. Everyone and I mean everyone is breaking too left ish or top right ish and all using the cut break with cue to side rail. That apparently must be the best odds. Oh and they are doing alternate break. I been playing 9 on spot and doing the cut break in the box. It’s obvious less balls go in on the break so less runouts a plus alternate break stopping multiple runouts. Back and forth action and only race to 5. Makes sense on several reasons why they have implemented these new rules & format. Long gone are the days of running 3, 4, 5+ racks in a row from the old school 9 ball days. Cheers.

[@shakilaanfield2112]

Thanks terminator

[@robertdurant8845]

Excellent video, Niels! I really enjoy watching your videos. I recently subscribed to your channel and have learned a lot already. I have always wondered how these 9-ball break shots were hit. Thanks for sharing this valuable information. Where is the cue ball placed? It looks like it’s on the second diamond and about a ball and a half away from the cushion. Is this correct? Thanks!

[@shayne.7770]

What is the three point rule and 9 on the spot means where the one ball would usually sit?

It’s only with the 9 on the spot. Mostly in Europe. Matchroom stepped away from it

Why did they institute the 3 ball in the kitchen rule? Was it because guys where breaking soft in order to make the head ball in the side?
