@@wesleysnipes1873 Because he's shooting on an illegal rack. Also worth mentioning that downing the 8ball during the break makes you automatically lose, but you are entitled to redo the break
I did the same thing except I was happy I had just won until people asked me why I was happy, I just lost. I even googled it and showed them every result sided with me but they didn't care. Then they got hateful so I just left. I still get pretty upset thinking about it honestly
@@dere1048 hes saying, since the first of april of 2022 (which coincides with April fools for some reason), he potted 35, 8 balls from the break. Hes going for 100 by Christmas. 65 more 8 ball breaks in 5 month, and on average 13 a month
@@dere1048 an "8 ball break" is where the 8 ball is made from the break shot and wins the game, as the 8 ball is in the middle of the rack it should be one of (if not the) hardest ball to make on the break shot
Not incredible. Please include "what to watch out for when playing an opponent" when showing people these sort of things. Or you will be accused of showing people how to cheat and also makes you look suspect. @aaronthepoolcoach
@@thisismyoutlet Dude you're so full of shit. It's a 60 second short tops. If you want to figure out how to do anything not shown in the video then buy a book.
One tip for people you can do is bridge hands in awkward situations. It's such a common thing that people struggle with and end up hitting the balls with their hands (inuding me sometimes)
It's a good practice to make sure the 8 ball DOES NOT ROLL as you push the rack tightly forward with fingers touching, pushinĝ all 5 back balls forward within the rack. Push forward and press them downward. If the 8 rolls you'll need to replace the balls around it, each with another. Also be aware the balls may be old, worn and refinished and not all equal in size. A few thoussndths of an inch in diameter can make a difference. This I know from shooting the game for 60 years now. I hope this helps. Gimme a thumb.
Dope! I’ve been playing APA for 5 years now, I’ve only gotten six 8 On The Breaks during league play and I’ve been hitting the same spot on hundreds of racks. I just have back luck lol. It’s worth mentioning to people that I like to put draw right on the cue ball so it’ll come off the rack and hit the long rail and back into the balls potentially giving it a second chance to make the 8 ball.
Ooookkkk….well, in that case it’s worth mentioning that an even more reliable method for sinking the 8 is to pick it up with your hand and drop it in a pocket.
@@goldendubai2130 u have half and full balls After the break u can pot anything you want exept for the 8. When you potted a ball u will have to pot all balls of the same group. (Ex. I pot a half ball then i have to continue potting all half balls). When you potted all your balls you have to pot the 8 ball. Foul shots: Hitting the opponents ball or the 8 ball first Dont hit anything Potting the white ball Hitting the white ball twice If your opponent makes a foul you get ball in hand what means you can place the ball anywhere on the table. How to win Pot every ball thats yours and then pot the 8 ball. The other pots the 8 ball before he has finished his balls. The other pots the 8 ball and the white ball at the same time
This is the only trick I wanna practice. We all suck at pool and have a habit of getting the 8 ball just at the edge of a pocket and not knowing how to deal with it.
@@rickyblazeby6362 having played professionally for 12 years, I do know a little about the rules. In no sanctioned event does the 8 on the break win the game. That is purely bar and local league rules…
On a legal tight rack you break with a lot of top spin . The ball will hit the top ball of the rack and first spin backwards then will move forwards hitting the 8 ball . It will not work every time but does increase your odds .
@@ks_ethaydius6975 I've been playing that game since 2010. If you pot 8 on break you put it back on the table. The only reason you don't do that in a bar game is because you'd have to put more quarters in the table.
@@michaelyates4037 the balls were not set up properly. Not sure the referee would be happy with you moving a ball away from the black with your fingers before you break off. Or maybe they do where you come from ?
If no one sees you do it before you break, (not saying do it because I hate cheaters) but if you did and no one notices you do it then it's fair game. That's why you should always be 100% into your game. Not on your phone or talking to other players etc.
1.the balls should always be placed in a line going stripe to spot 2. U can only place the white within the D 3. Potting the black before you have potted all your other balls is a loss
If the black ball is the first and only ball to go in the pocket then it is called a no contest and the black ball is put in the middle of the pool table and both of the players play on.
Not by rules used in most pro tournaments and most serious tournaments on regulation tables. In most serious rules you spot the 8 and keep shooting. That goes for BCA, WPA, CSI, BCAPL league, and USAPL league rules. You can look up all the rules online. In UPA, APA league, VNEA league, and casual unwritten bar rules, making the 8 is usually an automatic win, and of course any time you play on coin-op tables when spotting balls is not possible. But no, pro players don't do that. I've never seen it in the decades I've played some top players. I've come across some road players who will rack sloppy for you if given the chance. But rack-your-own is common and when it's not, the breaker will check the rack and never let you get away with that.
Oh my god there’s always one of you, please learn about the game before commenting on videos like this. 8 ball on break in most circumstances is automatic win, in tournament it’s a spot and player continues to shoot
@@michaelschriner9889 Im learning about the game just now. In the comments. Im just asking people with experience. Just asking if is it just a trickshot or actual game rule. Any problem?
In Australia you can only shoot from within the D on the break line also our pockets are smaller therefore impossible. Best way is hit the left of the centre ball with right hand side and follow through
Typically your opponent or a referee will rack. So, with that in mind, to prevent what your opponent from making the 8 on the break, rack with the lead ball exactly where it belongs, then rotate the back of the rack about 1 degree. This is enough for the paths of the balls to not take their traditional routes but is not enough for your opponents to see what you've done.
So weird! Since i was convinced that potting the 8 ball just meant you respotted it, i had a look online and its quite interesting. The World Pool Association has the respot (or rerack) rule but the APA (american) states you win instantly. The difference in rule enforcement is very strange. I also looked up the 9 ball rules and weirdly the golden break rule also is tournament dependant. Like shit, make it consistent
What he doesn't tell you is, if you don't hit the second ball cleanly you have a high probability that you will scratch in the corner pocket. I have also seen a couple of players make the eight ball and then scratch a few times, which is an automatic loss. I think they were using low cue when it happened.
You don't break your own rack. And it is still a difficult shot. I break for quantity and separation. And occasionally you win the old fashioned way, YOU EARN IT!
So if that happens it has to be a rack fiddle, the ref should know that. Get it in any other than the middle’s and you’ll be fine, good luck with that shot
