      Well, first of all, what's wrong with your break shot at the moment? Why do you think it needs to be improved?

        the breakshot

        my breakshot is not strong enought,I can't arrive to put more than two balls in the holes...With the american pool your breakshot must be more offensive,it's different with the snooker, where the breakshot is more defensive than offensive.That's why I wanted to know if the breakrak can improve my breakshot

          Well, if you can pot 2 balls from the break, then you're already doing very well indeed. You're right, the break in US pool is very attacking, but if you can get 2 balls regularily, then you have a good break.

          What is the "breakrak" and why do you think it can improve your break?

          The best advice I've ever heard for the break is to aim to hit the middle ball in the 3rd row of the balls so as to really explode the pack. That works for me. Hit the cueball in the middle, aim directly at the front of the pack, try to hit the middle ball in the 3rd row and hit the white as fast as you can!

            HEY Keith are you a pro pool player?
            You cannot improve your game if you don't have a cue and snooker table

              Lol! No, but I'd have liked to be! Maybe if I'd started sooner or had the chance to play more often when I was younger ... Now, it's too late.

                Lol i ask because I am a pro player. I mean I have played in few pro tournaments in my country. And I totally agree with your viewing of breakoff. Some players told me that best way to break is to hit the first ball in the pack with stun shot so that cue ball stay in the middle of the table... But I prefer to hit third ball... And I always get some ball in the pocket

                          200$?! way to expensive... And it is much more useful if you break off with real rack as you can see how the balls are responding... With this stuff you can only see cue ball... IMO waste of money

                            It looks like a gadget to me, and Americans really do love these kind of things. I think it's more important to spend time playing, getting comfortable with your technique, getting used to potting balls and putting spin on the white to see what you can do with it and developing your break as you develop your game.

                            Personally, I'd rather spend my money on playing and cues, but if you want to try it, go ahead.
