Question

When playing in a tournament, which gives you more confidence? Break and run or making the 9 ball on break?

Answer 1

A break and run definitely takes more skill so for sure that would be the confidence-builder to me...

p.s. Most of us can't make the nine consistently like Johnny!

:)

Answer 2

40% of mine are off the break so thats what I try to do and if I dont then I have to run or combo on the 9 so I guess 9 on the break because thats what Im trying to do

Answer 3

Making the 9 on the break is 95% luck so that's not really a confidence builder for me. A break and run is much more fulfilling.

Answer 4

most defently a break and run or a run out from the time you get to the table makes me feel like I  am in stroke and can run with any body and also makes your oppoent a little shell shocked

Answer 5

I would have to go with the break and run, like someone else said, your opponent knows that he is playing someone good.

After that, anytime you get nine on the break is nice, but you also have to show what you are made of!.

Answer 6

9 On Break Any Old Day Of The Week.

I Ain't Got The Skill To Break And Run!
