How to Make the 9 ON THE BREAK … It’s Not Just Luck

Dr. Dave demonstrates various techniques for getting a “golden break” in 9-ball, where you pocket the 9 “on the snap” for an early game victory.  Being smart and using good technique can help you win more games.

Content:
0:00  -  Intro
0:45  -  Cut Break
2:26  -  Combo With Back Ball
---- 4:19  -  natural 8 kiss
---- 5:18  -  pocketing other balls
7:18  -  Gaps Behind the 9
9:13  -  Lucky Kiss, Carom, or Combo
9:46  -  Wrap Up

CORRECTIONS:
- the spin diagram for the 9-on-the-spot cut-break illustration in the beginning of the video should show slight bottom-right spin (not bottom-left).
- The 8-9-combo approach I demonstrated with the 1 on the spot (starting at 2m26s), works just as well with the 9 on the spot; although, the 8 is no longer natural in the side.
