- This video shows you how to Break and Rack in 9 Ball so that the rack is optimized for a run-out. You will learn how to place each ball in the rack so that you: 1) Make the wing ball 80% of the time, or more. 2) Have a shot on the 1- ball 3) Have a shot on the 2 and 3 balls if the 1 ball is made or not on the break. THIS CONCEPT IS IMPORTANT FOR 8 BALL PLAYERS TO UNDERSTAND AS WELL, Because, The Best Cross Training for 8 Ball, is 9 Ball.

Holy crap!!
I can’t believe this! I’m breaking and running WAY more consistently after applying the stuff I learned in this video!
It’s almost like cheating?!?! No wonder those pros run out do much! Duh.
Racking the balls the same way EVERY TIME really made the difference. Thanks for the tip....
Too bad I can’t rack my own in my leauge.... grrrrr
Don't you love those moments when you have an "awakening" - Even though you do not always get to rack for yourself, you can use this information to run more racks when someone else is racking. Look for the 2 ball. If it's in the spot after the 1, break from the other side of the table forcing it up table, like I do in the video. If the 2 ball is in the spot I have the 3 ball, breaking from that side will often send the 2 up table with the one. And worse case, if the 2 ball is in the spot where I have the 5 ball, breaking from the left side will send it off 3 rails (if it's not deflected) and send the 2 ball up table. (If these balls are on the opposite side, break from the other side.) Its not as good as setting the entire rack, but it's a good start. NOTE: Don't practice with only this setup. You need to make sure you can play well without it. Notice I don't use it on my 9-ball run videos. I try to keep it random.
FXBilliards, this video really pushed me over the edge. I’m playing MUCH better and this video easily was the thing that kick started it. Thanks for your contributions to OUR community!
👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for taking the time and making these videos. I cannot stress enough how much my game has improved in the last few months after I found your channel!
Great video! Thanks brother. I've been trying to figure out where to strike the 1 ball for a couple of weeks. I can't wait to try it out. You do great work and I appreciate your straight forward approach. Blessings to you!
Thanks. Watching your videos is my late night treat after being exposed to virus news all day.
Thank you Eunis. And thank you again for your membership to FXB. You are the best!
Great video... thank you Bryan
Thank you very much ,always good video !
This is a great video full of information and what’s even better is your answers to some questions.
Be nice to know more about ball placement for racking 8 ball. Breaking and how to get a tight rack. I struggled most of the time trying to get a hard rack. Thanks again for your due diligence knowledge is everything. Can't thank you enough
Great Teacher
Many many thanks
I usually break from the Center of the table between the 1st Diamond on the Long rail and the 2nd Diamond in the short rail .. I use the Pop - Squat Break on a 7ft Diamond table with a tip below center hit
Good tip!
Thanks. Terrific job of explaining and showing the physics behind the break .
Love me some 9-ball
Nice to see real play. Including the scratch break. 👍
Another great vid!! Stay safe my brother!! Keep putting out the content!!
I saw your latest work... good stuff. Keep it up.
FXBilliards : thanks man- much appreciated- stay safe- this thing is getting crazy.
Another great video...I have been avoiding 9 ball for fear of wasting time just rattling balls around the table. Was trying to get better with the drills i.e. stop shots, follow ,draw and speed control.
Your first comment about this video being for 8 ball as well as 9 caused me to pause the video and comment now back to the knowledge.
Nunya Bizness when you practice 9-ball play against the ghost. Which means break and give yourself ball in hand on the first ball. That way you don’t waste time trying to make that first bar from bad angles. You can immediately start playing position.
@@FXBilliards cool thanks... I will try that...
A very nice focus/study video; well worthwhile and huge benefit. Very much appreciate what you are giving. :) Be Safe
Just learning ... great vid - never thought about what happens on break..-- THANK YOU
Happy to help! Thanks for watching.
This is Very Interesting !! Thanks
I hear You !! I'm a Lefty
I'm one of those right handed left breakers Bryan. Thanks for these tips. I'll be working on these on my table tomorrow.
Be well,
Al-Fu
Als AllMetalDetecting thanks for watching_ as always.
Good advice on the 6 ball.
Hello Bryan, could you do a video for breaking a 9ball game with advanced rack (9 on the spot) please ? Thanks so much !
I will cover it in a future video, but it’s not common enough to justify a video of its own, but I’ll hook you up.
Thanks for all your excellent content. Look forward to trying it out on my table and incorporating it into my game. Any edge can help.
Thanks so much for this. My nine ball breaks are getting some serious consistency. I wanted to mention two things that helped my wing ball going in more consistently. First I needed to move it out a bit, I was too close to the rail (as you suggest in video) Second now that I have the spot I find if I spend more time squaring the rack it started really getting consistent. So spending the time on the rack is important.
This is a good point. If you don't have a tight rack, things change quickly. I always say that I am the worse racker around. But with the magic rack and racks like it, I make a lot more balls on the break.
@@FXBilliards I can rack a pretty tight rack (although I like magic racks). But I was talking about it being square. I actually got a drywall t and check my squareness after racking. I thought about marking the table but I wanted to get muscle memory built where I automatically square the rack. I was suprised how much I was off and its consistently one direction.
Mojo Nichols it was common a very long time ago to draw an outline of the rack area on the table in pencil. Anyway I’m probably a few degrees off on every rack.
Great Video !! I know this Video was 2yrs ago ..Can you" Remake " this Video This Month in November of 2022 Just to see how Accurate the Rack pattern is from 2yrs ago ..
I'm just Curious to see if its still "Accurate "..
I'm a Left-handed pool player and New to Constantly playing APA 9-Ball from APA 8-ball (SL -5)
Chris, The pattern I taught in that video was developed more than 20. years ago and nothing has changed. I might make another similar video down the road but my videos are made many weeks (sometimes months) in advance of being seen on CZcams so it could be 2023 before it is marked public. Thanks for watching and thanks for your suggestion.
Once again fantastic information. Thanks for putting this video out.
Don't know if they allow tools that help with racking in leagues and or tournaments
I have a specific question, if you wouldn’t mind. I’m trying to increase power. I utilize various techniques: smooth, deliberate backswing; jerk action to the elbow and wrist; hip rotation; hand action; precision foot placement for leverage (hips/like boxing).
That considered, I tested break speeds with 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 oz cues. My speed is better by about 1/2 mph with each additional ounce of cue weight.
Using House cues with super-soft slip-on tips, that is 17.8 to 19.2. I can manipulate my mechanics to get close to 19mph with any weight consistently.
I know that test conditions hurt me (soft tips, heavy cue ball, uncomfortable bridging, wholly shafts), but what mechanics or methods would you suggest I incorporate to increase overall controllable power?
Generally, people tend to break lighter with heavy cues, heavier with lighter cues. I have good control of stroke mechanics, and weight helps me. I thought that might tip you off as to what is limiting me.
It’s hard to say, but most people get more break speed from a lighter cue harder tip combination. And make sure your stroke is straight and all that energy is going into the ball.
Show where and how to hit the one ball
Brian, why and when does the 9 ball get racked on the spot?
Some events have you rack with the 9 on the spot in order to make the game more challenging. Making the wing ball is so easy that with a normal rack, there are too many easy runouts.
Hello. Would you, please, explain alternate brake (three point rule - 9ball on the spot), and how to be successful as in this one. Thank you in advance. Greetings from Montenegro.
Aleksandar Markotanovic I just got the exact same question by email from someone living in Germany. This is what I recommended: {It would be hard to make the wing bar from that spot but I think if you put the ball like this, you might make the 6 and bring the 1 and 2 up table. If you break from the left side If not, switch the 2-3 and 4-6}. I have not tested this so please let me know how you make out.
@@FXBilliards thank you very much. Unfortunately I do not have pool table and I can not try it. Clubs are closed in our country and isolation and..., known over the World situation. Greetings.
Very nice demo with explanations. Is this contingent on racking your own?
Joe Brown if you don’t get to rack for yourself - then things change. What I recommend is if you don’t get to rack yourself, you can break from which ever side will send the 2 ball down table with the 1 ball. I’ll try to explain that in a future video.
@@FXBilliards Thanks most local tourneys rack their own.
Hi Brian, I picked up an 8' Peter Vitalie table. What do you suggest for cloth? I was thinking Simonis 860HR
860 hr is the way to go. Thats what I am going to get.
Is there such thing as a defensive rack? Or is that considered a cheat method?
Yes and yes. Thanks for watching
I hate it when I brake good and the one ball ends up in the middle of the short rail. My second ball usually ends up Frozen to the rial right next to side pocket. There's also and defensive way to rack when you rack for your opponent.
A quick easy defensive right might be to put the 2 ball where the 4 ball is located and the 3 ball on the wing. The 3 will either go in the pocket or end up behind the rack and the 2 ball will will stay with the rack as well...while the 1 ball goes to the other end of the table. Simply put: give him the 3 as a wing and put the 2 in the back. Thanks again Chuck. You are always on point. I hope all is well with you and your family. Are you locked in with your kids all day?
I like putting a seven and eight behind the one ball.
Playing loser racks, winner breaks, as an example, is there a defensive way to set up the rack that may make it more difficult for the breaking player to run out?
Also, years ago we would play a spot ball or maybe 2 to attract lesser skilled players for money games. The way I was taught to set up the bslls was right behind the 1 ball. Also taught to break from the spot aiming head on, sledgehammer power, with high right/left English on the cue ball, depending where the money ball is in the rack. Now I haven't played those types of games in close to 30 years, lol. So anyway, do you think that would be a good strategy? I also remember one of the top players in Toledo, Ohio at the time suggest that the money ball be placed in the back pair, after I told an opponent where's I would put it, the good player probably thought I suggested that because I was pretty sure I could put it in on the break. Sorry for the long message.
A good defensive rack would be to take the balls that are in the front and put them in the back. The balls that are on the left, put them on the right.
@@FXBilliards that makes sense, I was thinking that after I sent you the message.
@@FXBilliards I enjoy watching your videos, I started standing on chairs playing with my younger brother when I was 7 or 8 years old and I still pick up tips from watching. Thanks for your content.
The shine on the 5 ball makes it look like a 6 lol but good video Bruh
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. Be safe.
Do you have on line lessons
Talbert Tipton Right now we just have the 70 videos on CZcams.
I am working on putting together on line lessons. It might take a week or two but I will keep you updated.
@@FXBilliards thanks
whats that black thing that the balls are on? ty
Rack
I dont think your crazy, the lighting can make the 6 ball have no edge. The two misses, the 6 ball hit the foot rail, would that be from a touch too much draw or from slightly off center hit on the 1?
I think the miss was the result of me hitting the one ball in the wrong place. I started to break down after so many back to back breaks, I think my aim was off a bit. The same reason for the scratch. Just a lack of focus.
too easy to break one on the spot, here in tournaments we rack nine on the spot, means the wing ball not so easy to make and most of tournaments we have three point rule.
Jebeesu yes I know-we address that in one of the comments below. Thanks for watching and commenting. Where are you from?
@@FXBilliards Good video anyways. :) I'm from Finland.
@@Jernostaatti Cool - Thanks again for watching.
A lot of blue clothes these days
It’s because of TV lights- the blue cloth is often optimized for the cameras.
9 ball the worst game in pool. A game of chance. A game where mistakes count and you can accidentally knock in the 9-ball and win LOL I hate 9 ball the only thing I hate more than 9 ball is pattern racking. God damn pattern racking taking away Integrity from the game. Why do people want everything easy nothing hard increase your chance of winning by pattern racking. Instead of shot-making ability and strategy. This is exactly why I only play one pocket
Thanks for watching. My number one game is 14.1 - 9-ball became big because it's quick and easy for viewers to follow. As good a game as one pocket is, spectators are not patient or educated enough to pay to watch it. Thanks again for watching and your feedback.
I think you you don't understand the beauty of 9 ball. It makes you pay for every single mistake because your opponent will finish the rack if you miss (after a certain level of play). It also develops position play and safeties. As for rack patterns, it's just a starting point; you wouldn't start the 100 m dash standing up, you would take advantage of the blocks and position to get you in stride. After the start, you are on your own.
