How to break in the game of pool.?

Question

have no clue about the game

Answer 1

I prefer hitting on the left side of the rack. So place the cueball a few inches on the left side behind the break line. Then place your hand down to form your bridge. Put cue in/on your hand bridge and stike as hard as you can. If your a beginner aim for the leading ball. Although different games require different aiming spots on the rack. If your real beginner use two fingers on the rail as a bridge til your comfortable with a hand bridge break. I always use top english when breaking. I find more balls or the important ball drops that way.

Let's not put the cart before the horse.  If you are new to the game, you should take some time to work on the fundamentals.  You need to learn what it takes to have a proper stroke for all of your shots in pool.  Once you have a firm grasp of what makes a good stroke, then you can focus on specific shots, such as the break.  That being said, there are a few main things that make for an effective break shot.  I'm going to assume that we're referring to games with an open break shot such as 8-ball and 9-ball.  Wherever you choose to place the cue ball, you want to hit the head ball full on.  Even the tiniest deviation left or right will get you into trouble.  It all has to do with energy transfer.  When you hit your target ball full on, you are transferring 100% of the energy from the cue ball directly into the rack.  When you don't hit dead center, the amount of effective force into the rack can drop up to 50%.  The remaining energy will cause you to lose control of your cue ball and you might end up with poor table position or even worse, scratch.  So you can see why my motto for break shots is the following, "Speed without control is worse than nothing".  You really don't have to break especially hard to have a favorable outcome.  How many times have your seen people at the bar who have a 28 MPH break and no control and how many times have you had to bend over and pick up their cue ball for them after they sent it rocketing to the opposite end of the bar?  You want to park the cue ball in the center of the table.  In time you will find that the center of the table will often give you the greatest number of shots to choose from.  The goal of the break shot is to scatter the balls, hopefully pocket one, and to leave yourself good cue ball position.  If you aren't always pocketing a ball on the break, don't let it get you down.  You'd never know it from what they show on TV, put on average a professional pool player only pockets a ball on the break 3 out of 10 times.  Best of luck.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

I like to put topspin on the cue ball (hit it a bit above the center of the ball, and follow through with the cue), because after it hits the rack of balls, it takes on new life and plows through them again, doing extra damage.  This increases your odds of pocketing the 8-ball on the break (or 9-ball, depending on which game you're playing), which would give you the automatic win.  Yes, it doesn't happen a lot, but it happens!

Also, I like to position the cue ball a few inches away from the bumper on the right side.  But be careful here: if you don't hit the ball you want (usually the 1 or 3 ball) exactly where you need to, you can scratch on the break.

Basically, practice around to see what works for you.
