How do i control the cue ball in center when i brake in pool?

Question

It always goes on the corners

Answer 1

practice.

Answer 2

Ok here it is,,,,if you hit anywhere but square center of the very front ball,,,,your going to the side.  To do what you want to do is VERY hard. The only real way is to hit the front ball from straight on in the very middle with bottom english,,so if you hit it dead on ,,,the bottom english will kill the ball right there. Good luck.

Answer 3

Place the ball on the left or right side of the pool table, doesn't matter.  aim directly at the middle left or middle right side of the front ball depending on where you placed the cue ball.  hit the cue ball on the top middle part of the ball giving a bit of top spin.  (don't hit it to hard though or this strategy wont work.)  when the ball hits the triangle it will immediately jump back from the impact but the top spin you put on it will accommodate for the bonce back.  the ball at most should move to the spot where the 8 ball originally was.

Answer 4

Off set the cueball a little to the right from center of the table, then put low right hand english on it, and follow through while stepping into your break. This will give you a better break and with practice allow you leave the cueball in the center of the table afterwards giving you the best chance to run out.

Answer 5

The key to leaving the cue ball in the center of the table on the break shot all has to do with hitting the head ball full on.  It really doesn't matter if you are breaking from straight down the middle or off to one side, although the cue ball has less distance to travel if hit down the middle.  By hitting the apex ball full, you are transferring all of the energy that you put into the cue ball into the rack.  When you miss to one side, even a little, you'll lose anywhere from 25-50% of that energy transfer, and guess where that energy goes.  It stays with the cue ball, and that's why the cue ball skips off to the side.  So you see, you don't need to be breaking 25-50% harder than everyone else, just make sure you hit it correctly and the balls with fly apart.  More often than not, it's not an aiming problem.  It's usually a problem with stroke mechanics.  Here's something that may help with aiming the break shot.  Aim for the part of the head ball that's touching the cloth.  This spot will always be directly below the exact center of the ball.  I only recommend this aiming method for shots where you are hitting the object ball full on.  On any type of angled shot, I have an entirely different way to aim.  Happy shooting.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
