Dr. Cue – Lesson 21 – Making the 8 — Ball on the Break!

By • Feb 25th, 2019 • Category: APA Videos

One of the most beautiful and exciting joys in the game is when you make the 8 ball on the break. The proper striking point of the cue ball on the second ball in the rack…combined with the proper cue ball position in relation to the side cushion will help you to make the illusive 8 ball on the break in your quest for game success — Rack Up A Victory!! (For those of you who notice the balls changed, we edited the video so as to illustrate the point. It took Dr. Cue only 3 trys to make the …

    A lot of people spot the 8-ball if it’s sunk of the break, and allow the player who broke to shoot with an open table.

    I’m half blind and I can make the 8 ball on the break. without a break cue. Putting the ball two ball lengths from the second diamond works. I prefer the right side though. I also drove the 8 ball through to the corner pocket once. Don’t ask me how.

    Thanks for the tip, now I can make it off the break a lot.

    For all rules clarifications, please consult your APA Team Manual or your local APA League Operator.

    If you were listening in the video, Dr. Cue stated that in APA (American Pool Players) rules, pocketing the 8 ball on the break without scratching results in a win.

  9. santasslayer on April 19th, 2009 at 9:45 pm:

    This is using APA rules. In BCA/Pro rules the 8-on-the-break rule does not apply

  10. naldchow on April 19th, 2009 at 9:45 pm:

    Can someone please tell me, I thought one can ensure an immediate win by pocketing the number 9 ball ONLY in nine ball. However in the game of 8 ball, wont pocketing the number 8 ball make one LOSE? why would anyone in their right mind would learn how to pocket the black ball first? can someone please let me know. was it because of different rules?

  16. apaleagues on April 19th, 2009 at 9:45 pm:

    We’ve mentioned this alrady in the comments for this video. Concerning the 13/6 switch. We edited the video so as to illustrate the point. It took Dr. cue only 3 trys to make the 8, which is pretty impressive.

  17. flyfly4u on April 19th, 2009 at 9:45 pm:

    what are all the different types of pool, ( the games)? where can I find out how to set up the balls in the rack?

  18. Reviar on April 19th, 2009 at 9:45 pm:

    They even say “two” in the video, making it obvious don’t they?…

  19. fremin001 on April 19th, 2009 at 9:45 pm:

    is not true, really are two videos, Look at the position of the balls before breaking when you focus and give pause when going to pull, this summer the 6 after 1 but before I was in last position of the right ..

  20. Slayer069 on April 19th, 2009 at 9:45 pm:

    It’s not all that simple. Trust me…
