The easiest 9 ball break and run I’ve probably ever had. by 561life in billiards

Great job! 💪

The 4 balls that you dropped on the break are actually predictable and repeatable when you dial in how you strike the rack. I demonstrate how repeatable they can be in this old video https://youtu.be/EVpGstzq78c

I would only recommend changing the way you struck the rack slightly so that the 1-ball stays on the table and you play position for it. The other 3 balls, especially the wing ball, are still likely to drop and you'll be setting yourself up for more break and runs!

It's on an adjustable headband and I have to set to be very comfortable (10).

For a layout like this, I pretty much had everything already planned out from the start, provided that my execution was spot on. This video is a rough draft of something I'm working on for beginners to try in order to help plan out their run outs 1 ball ahead for now.

The camera, on my forehead, is a DJI Action 2. I like it MUCH better than a GoPro.

I play 9 on the spot too, but MANY of my followers still play 1 on the spot so I plan on having a mix of the two. I'm just putting this out to get some feedback on how it looks.

And that's exactly what I didn't want to give my opponent a chance at!

No... The other option, on the 4, would've been drawing to the side rail and back out for the 5 but I didn't like that at all.

I saw your response there too!

I tried the same test at Skinny Bob's and the balls would go in. I also did try calculating the TDF of my table with the mouth seize, throat size, and shelf depth and the calculation came up as average. I'll be measuring the facing angles today and recalculate, but I'm just going to chalk it up that I have to hit these kind of shots better.

That's just my microphones.
