How many potted from break in 8 ball

[KeithinFrance]

Wow I wish i'd seen that !!!!!
I used to play with a guy who played on the welsh national team and he used to practice breaking for hours. He said he once managed to pot all 7 yellows and 3 reds off the break........ But never manged to work out how he did it !!!!

That's my problem as well - I can't work out my break well enough to consistently get 5 down ... sometimes I can't even get 1 down! If you want to play at the highest level, you need a consistently good break where you pot balls about 7/10 times. Unfortunately, that's not my case... however, if you break and don't make a ball, that's where I'm at my best! :snooker:

I have to agree, i tend to do better in a tactical game. I'm not sure that potting lots of balls off the break is a good thing,i think its better to pot 1 say yellow and have the reds on the cush tied up.

First Game Of Pool I Had Today Broke Off And Potted 5 4 Reds And A Yellow Then Was Snookered From The Reds So Nominated Yellows And Cleared Up So My New Cue Is Serving Me Well..

Are the balls of the same size as american pool balls ?

No. I think you will find american 9 ball pool balls are 2 1/4" and english 8 ball
pool balls are 2" with a 1 7/8" cue ball.

i was playing a big comp in aus and the guy i was playing was late and just got to the table in time and broke with a big leather jacket on cause he didnt have time to take it off and he potted 4 reds and 3 yellows then cleared the table in about 20secs

I potted all the colours off of a break once. I then potted the black, but lost the frame because it was World Rules and I hadn't nominated a colour.

Nah, lol joke, I've potted 4 or 5 once or twice before.
