Thanks for the detailed explanation, great work. I've been working on soft 9 ball break and liking it, 10 ball will be next. Been breaking hard for so long it's hard to dial it back and just do it controlled like this. I don't think this would have been possible back in the day of opponents loose racking you with those cheap plastic or wooden racks at every small tournament. Plus if your dog (2:29) is like mine it'll love the softer sound of break practice time. Mine no longer run to a different room and hide from it.
Corey is the most innovative pool player I have ever had the pleasure to watch work on his game. Amazing to watch. Can be inspiring or make an average player want to quit the game
Video reply: ua-cam.com/video/RRGt3x5UKWE/v-deo.html Out of 25 breaks, I only pocketed a ball on 2 breaks. And if you discard the breaks I didn't hit them square, the percentage is still horrible. 9' GC table. Worn Simonis 860.
Try hitting it as square as you can. This breaking technique only allows for small margin of error. I practiced this break for 2 days before I could get it consistent.
Guys move the video to 0:55 and put it on the minimum video speed, then watch the break and how insanely symmetrical the balls pathways are, I must say that is the most visually beautiful break shot I have ever seen! For showing me this my friend you have my sub, because this is just beautiful!
That was awesome. Have you tried this on 8ball? Mate of mine unknowingly broke softly and i was surprised at the spread. Might put this to practice later. Thanks again :)
Deul is the biggest cheater in pool. Pattern racking, soft breaks, etc. Because of him they have to add more and more rules to make the game less fun in tournaments.
It works for 8-ball too. I was doing this the other day, but not soft (maybe I'm just a weak breaker, lol), and I was pocketing the two balls behind the head ball a lot into the two side pockets. I actually place the cue ball about 1/2 inch to the side from the head spot and aim straight at the head ball. I will have to try softer to see if I can better control the cue ball and still make the two balls in the side.
Great vid thanks. I've never understood why the cue ball would bounce back off the rack so much with a hard break - a shockwave? I am even more surprised that you need top spin with this soft break!
Yeah I was surprised too! I initially thought that putting slight draw would squat the cue ball in the center perfectly. However, when I did slight draw the two target balls wouldn’t head towards the side pocket. My understanding is that it has to do with Newton’s law where “for every action, there is an equal and opposite re-action”. Exactly what you’re saying, kind of like a shockwave after striking the rack. Thanks for the support Matt!
The reason you need top spin is due to weight. If you rack the balls all touching it acts as one object. So therefore it weighs 10 times more than the cueball. So the cueball will just bounce back off the rack. so applied topspin prevents the cueball going back up the table.
in watching your 8, 10 and 9 ball breaks [ as a neophyte ] i was told i cannot use a 2nd ball break on the 10 ball rack as it is imperative to hit the 1 ball....[ since it is a rotation game ] ... i did not see that in the rules so i thought id ask here.....still learning...lol thanks for your content....Vince
cool video, didn't know about that one yet. But i gotta say, i expected some gopro shots somewhere in the video, but when you were actually breaking, the gopro was gone :D
Not sure at this moment. I haven’t been able to test it on different size tables yet. If I were to guess, I think this break can work on 9 footers as I can successfully perform the 9 ball soft break on 9ft tables with no issues.
It does work for 8 ball. This is the same break they use. They usually pocket a ball in the side nearly every time when using a magic rack. I actually think Corey got this from them.
In the match against oscar, deuel should have been disqualified...deuel pattern racks. I don't care if american rules follow wpa rules or not, it is highly unethical. People like deuel svb and orcullo should get a lifetime ban from all major tournaments, they are a disgrace for this sport.

Agreed
Love it. They're talking about needing to drive 2 balls past side pockets while they're looking at 4 balls past it.
My 2nd and 3rd racked balls keep coming up short from their respective side pockets. Why?
I don't hit em soft, but this straight on break helped my 10-ball game big time.
What's your table ? 7 or 8footer ?
Do you break with a parallel cue or a bit elevated behind ?
This break is not from Corey Duell. Is from Minnesota Fats, he break that way...

Thats absolutely fantastic. I have battled the 10ball break for years. Cant wait to try this out
I hope it improves your game :) I always use this break now!
Count again, that’s a legal break!
It's not a secret when everyone knows about it.
excellent video, thank you

@@nigelwebb5574 that makes perfect sense. Thanks!
Not sure why cremating the rack became the breaking norm. Break the way you want within the rules.
Great videos . Awesome explanation of the break . I guess I'll sub on that one .
Does this work on a 9ft table?
yes
I feel like Corey shoots soft on mostly everything
yes, allows more control
@@TheBilliardCorner yeah he rarely ever shot hard or medium speed honestly he was interesting player when he was playing full time pool

You're right, you have to hit the one ball first and it's on top.
Great video, as usual. Thanks!
cool video, didn't know about that one yet. But i gotta say, i expected some gopro shots somewhere in the video, but when you were actually breaking, the gopro was gone :D
The angle on my go pro was off and I couldn’t use the footage 😢. I’ll try to include some in my next video!
Thanks for the support!
Excellent content. Thank you!
This is the break they use in chinese 8 ball
THANKS MATE LEARNED A GREAT DEAL.HERE
Very nice tutorial!!
Nice work👍🎱
This slow break only works on a fast table like the Diamond tables and not so sure it can be applied to 4 1/2 x 9 tables?! Otherwise won't work.
Awesome video. Thanks for making it.
Thanks fam, I appreciate the support!
going to have to try it next time i play my 10 games of ten ball vs the ghost
Works great, I use this break all the time now.
Great video, keep up the good work!
Thank you LC!
gj man ... what pool balls do you have ???
Thanks fam! I have the Cyclops Zeus Tournament TV Pro set.
Does this work equally well on all sized tables, 7,8,9
Yes I’ve tested it
@@TheBilliardCornerExcellent. Thank you.
Oh u make new table how much is it enjoy 👍
Its a fantastic table. Prices can be found by contacting your local dealers.
🎱🎱🎱🎱
Good info. THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful!
Does it change from 7 foot to 8 foot to 9 foot?
Not sure at this moment. I haven’t been able to test it on different size tables yet. If I were to guess, I think this break can work on 9 footers as I can successfully perform the 9 ball soft break on 9ft tables with no issues.
Nice GoPro BTW
Thanks
Does Corey break like that on a nine footer?
It can be done on 9 footer. Watch Joshua Filler, DD, Tyler Styer use a very similar break with varying speeds depending on the table conditions.
@@TheBilliardCorner Cool, my 10 ball breaks are 40% at best, thanks for the info!
@@ctprocess Keep practicing :)
Does this work in an 8-ball rack?
This technique is for 10-ball only. I got a new video coming soon about breaking in 8-ball
@@TheBilliardCorner Thanks! Should try it and see what happens. Nice table btw! And nice cleanup of your mantle. Stay safe!
