    In today's video, using the knowledge I demonstrated in "EVERYTHING About Breaking 9-Ball" ( • Pool Lesson: EVERYTHIN... ), I want to show you what I believe to be the easiest 9-ball rack pattern that you can break and run.

    Thank you for sharing a pattern that helps running out in 9 ball. I am gonna try it out when I practice only though. I personally think that in any match, players should rack the balls randomly, without a pattern.

    • @LilChrisPoolPlayer
      @LilChrisPoolPlayer  Před 2 lety +1

      With this breaking technique, any pattern is runnable because the spreads would be similar. The only real difference are the transitions used for different patterns.
      This pattern, IMO, is just the easiest.

    At 10:47 : I was thinking that you could actually add slight bottom (which would die/lag and become slight top left by the time it reached the 5) with approximately 2 tips of inside (left) to hit 3 rails (weaving through the 7, 8, 9 and 6 gap) and and end up running the line of the 6 (allowing more room for error on cue ball weight*)to the bottom right (on screen) pocket.

    • @LilChrisPoolPlayer
      @LilChrisPoolPlayer  Před 2 lety

      I'd advise against using this rack pattern in a rack your own format. I know it wouldn't be against the rules, but you really shouldn't use an advantage that your opponent may not be aware of, unless you're willing to inform your opponent of the ease this rack pattern can give.
      Ideally, any rack pattern with this same spread would be relatively easy to run out.

    • @LilChrisPoolPlayer
      @LilChrisPoolPlayer  Před 2 lety +1

      A "harder" pattern to run would basically be something that requires a lot of cue ball movement for each transition, basically going from one end of the table to the other. I demonstrated something like this in my last 9-ball breaking video that I reference in this video ( czcams.com/video/EVpGstzq78c/video.html ).

      I'm not a fan of "Corey Deuel" style soft breaking, which this pattern would not be ideal for because you would have to run to the 5 or 6 (depending on what side you break from) before possible having a combo on the 9-ball.
      Having the 2 and 3-ball behind the 1-ball is the ideal setup to do that kind of soft breaking.

      Repeatedly pattern racking is not legal in most tournaments. I believe there are 5040 different types of rack patterns you can make with a 9-ball rack, leaving the 1-ball as the head ball and the 9-ball in the middle.
      Of those patterns, where do you find in the rules which ones are supposed to be "legal" and which ones are not?
      Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. It's just that there is no rule that would prevent the use of this pattern every once in a while.
