Making the 8 Ball on the Break

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 21:20:49 +0000

One of the most beautiful and exciting joys in the game is when you make the 8 ball on the break. The proper striking point of the cue ball on the second ball in the rack…combined with the proper cue ball position in relation to the side cushion will help you to make the illusive 8 ball on the break in your quest for game success — Rack Up A Victory!!

(For those of you who notice the balls changed, we edited the video so as to illustrate the point. It took Dr. Cue only 3 trys to make the 8, which is pretty impressive. )

When 3 or more frozen balls are included in game situations and/or trick shot setups, a player can quickly calculate respective ball patterns, throw directions, and intended make or miss factors for game/shot strategies. Better understanding of the gear principles between frozen balls and the respective energy factors applicable to the execution process can bring shot victory and new artistic shooting enjoyment to an otherwise standard game.
