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.
