That “pop and stop” break definitely sets the tone! You’re the first person I’ve seen to really explain the benefit of it! Bravo 👏

One of the best 10 ball break tutorial videos I have seen. I never played 10 Ball but if I do in the future I will definitely take note from this video. The song at the start is class.

Man, your videos are terrific, you cover every aspect of the subject and you explain it better than most, you are a great instructor. Keep 'em coming!

Karl loved the video, I've been struggling a lot with my 8 & 10-ball break, I've lost count of how many "break like a pro" videos I've watched on YT. You're the first to explain the importance of bridge hand elevation resulting in a higher angle on the cue and hitting down into the cue ball. One thing I'm trying to find more information on, is a more thorough explanation of weight transfer with the lower body. If you have time, would be a great video. Also, l loved the look on your face when you were getting ready for a level "10" break :)

Been looking for theeeee SVB break instructions video. You nailed it lad!!! THANK U‼️

Best video ever about breaking! Never thought that the elevation has such an impact! And speed demonstration is great 😅

Excellent explanation! Tested this today and actually managed to pull of my first ever 10-ball break-and-run! Pool life!

A pro explainig pool in an educational but entertaining and often funny way! Hope you get the 4k subscribers soon! Love your channel, thanks Mr. Boyes!

It’s the foot on the table on the “10” break for me😂😂😂😂

Just started playing 10 ball. this helped out TONS. Thanks as always for your content!

A thing of beauty! Love the pool life song! 😊 very good tips in this video.

Very informative. Thanks much Karl. Lovely to get such tips and tricks from a former pro player.

With the 10 speed break I think ending with your foot on the table would be a foul. TOO MUCH POWER. LOL.. Great info, thanks.

Very informative video Karl. Thanks, Keep up the good work.

Well detailed, good job best I've seen so far

Thanks a lot karl ! You really helped me

Great video as always.I’m waiting for that juggling video😂

Super cool intro and lots of good tips, thank you.

Amazing mate, thank you so much .

My own tip: always focus more on hitting square on the 1 ball. Spin, elevation, or even power, all come afterwards.

Loved how easy you explained it, now I have practice to to…

To this day nobody has said how true the quote on the mosconi cup interview was by this man.. “ I’m Just a ZOOKEEPER” 😂😂😂 just want to thank you Karl cuz I will forever use that going forward in my life.. Along with this great Break

Another top video... Cheers man.!

Thank you so much bro Could u explain about grip and grip arm

Great video. Thanks a lot 👍🏼

Hey Karl, nice Videos so far from you, Thank you. i have a question, how much space do you have to the wall in the back where you breaking, outside rail to wall. thank you

Make a video on how spaces in the rack can affect the break. Like, what are the pro's looking for in a rack when they are inspecting the rack. And how you would handle small spaces?

Love the themesong

No hablo inglés , pero fue más claro que cualquier explicación jajaja...crack!!

randy crawford sang street life great videos karl boyes

I like the 10th power foot on the table break. Hilarious 😂

Great video. I will definitely practice this. Is that the Cuetec Breach break stick? What is the weight?

Great video I had no idea about bridging to low and I have an issue with scratching in the side! Thank you!

Great Video Details .....You Got A New Subscriber...

Good video Karl. I do like the elevation information. Greta stuff.

Good video. I have been thinking a lot about this lately and intend to work on it after the virus thing is over. I wonder why pool players rise up as they are breaking. I know it's all about timing and being in the right position for the contact of the cue ball. It seems to me a more consistent and powerful break would be to line up, rise to a more elevated position and then pull the trigger on the break. (less movement) If you compare it to say an underhand softball pitcher. They do not start the pitch from a crouching position, but stay standing upright to get the most powerful throw. IDK, maybe I will revolutionize pool breaking.

Nice one Karl, can you make a video of how to break with 15 balls or do you use the same principles and positions?

Great Videos!!

Yes Pool life is fantastic.

Good video Karl, once again you explain things very well. My problem is I can’t get interested in 10 ball, I play 7,8,9 ball games, I play 14.1 I just have an extreme dislike for 10 ball. 🤷

Best tutorial 🤩💪💪💯💯💯👌👌

Thank you very much

thank you so much

Yes it’s a good song. Very catchy

great video karl

Karl "Im retired im not that good" Boyes

Great videos! Very insightful.... again, why are you not playing in the professional circuit anymore? Any plans to start back again? (Mickelson just won the Masters at 50...just saying ;) )

Is it the same for 8-ball? And did you say we should use a 5 speed?

Hi Karl, any tips for breaking at English 8ball please?

excellent video, just one question, Why did you stop playing?

Can you put the foot in Slow Mo on the 10 break so funny love it

Quick question, what size balls are you using on your magic rack there? assuming it is a magic rack? I recently got mine from germany and my balls dont sit right on it and I'm assuming it because theyre either to big or too small. I am new to billiards so all these different variables confuse the hell out of me. Great video as always.

Hey karl...great video ,can u do 8and 9 break for us

That 10 break tho 🤣🎱💥💨

Hey Karl, I'm definitely back with a couple of questions or solidification on both hand placements on the break. Bridge hand higher yes, raise your stroking arm up and aim down the shaft like using the bottom of a triangle? Aim point on the cue ball is low like a draw shot? Then after making the visual on the apex ball (aiming center on the object ball), a few practice strokes if needed then final follow thru place the tip just above center and follow thru? I'm hoping those questions make sense? Final question, please... why are you not competing? I'm in the U.S., but I'm a fan no doubt...... if you're willing to share. Casey McCoy on FB..... Once again I appreciate you!!!!

Nice videos.

Just watching this before a 10-ball tournament in 2 days. Last minute realisation that I have no idea what I'm doing. 😆

8:15 power no. 10 just like JEFF DE LUNA BREAK with lifting his leg. Also right after bending his breaking cue 😂😂

That is exactly my mistake, I put the cue too flat.Do you put some top spin or is center ball?

Nice explained pogi

I like to break from the center in 10 ball. I think Shane breaks from the center as well and thats why I started breaking from the center when I was learning.

What tip is on your braking cue? Which one is it? TAOM or White Diamond by Piconi? And I think that SVB is breaking more in the neighbourhood of 7 if we talking about power...

“ The Philippine Break” 😂

Do you ever try using english (High or low) to break 10 ball? I have found that using different english on the cue ball when breaking softer, you can make the 2nd row of balls easier. Im not as accurate for a powerful break! I would love to know your thoughts!

Can you consistently end up with foot on rail in every level 10 speed break?😀

Killin’ me with that “if you’re feeling fancy, finish with that Filipino leg” 🦵

Do most pros break the same for 10 and 8 ball? (Besides the second ball 8 ball break) I 99% of the time play 8 ball, with a few 9 balls sprinkled in there when i'm bored. And my break is very inconsistent. When i try and do a power break, placing the cueball one or two ball spaces away from the center, i can pocket balls more often, but i have no cue ball control. The cue ball jumps off the table some of the time aswell. I guess my question is can you get a good pop on the cue ball and make balls when you break softer(70-80% power)? Thanks again for all the tios Karl. Would love to see you do some 8 ball break and runs, and go through your thought process. (P.s. sorry for the essay 😂)

"...if this is a 10... ". LOL. That was a 25. Very good video. Contains tips not book instruction.

Hi Karl. Does this apply to 8-ball and 9-ball break as well?

Can use that for 9 ball?

I’m getting consistent pop, in some cases jumping so high it comes off the table and often into the side pockets. Should I be elevating the bridge hand even further?

Where i should keep my eyes before i hit the cue ball for any break shot??

Why do you aim or have your tip low on the table like you are cueing low? And where do you end up hitting the cueball? Thanks Pal.

That "10" was really funny Karl 🤣 but why do you aim so low when the point of contact is slighty above centre ball or even higher? I see most pros do that as well but I keep miscueing with the elevated bridge.

Just seen that cue ball rolling down my street outside from that 10 break 🤣

did you retired from professional pool already?? anw great video as always :D

Audio is much better!

You deserve a Boyes edition table .

Very good information. It is critical to know and understand the break, and what happens during it. I spend a lot of time practicing the break, and sometimes get teased a bit for it. So... yes, I do have questions!! 1. Is this break technique just for 10-ball? Or can it be applied to other formats as well? 2. Why do you want a pop on the cue ball? What purpose does the pop serve? It looks like you got a good enough break with a level cue. Love the intro. Needs more metal tho. ;)

So I play in a ghost league, it started with 9 ball, 12 months ago, (tyler styler played in the pro division) I only ever played 8 ball before, got a pretty good 9 ball game now, I entered the 10 ball this week, biggest problem straight away is the 2 and 3 being stuck bottom table after the break and the 1 ball up table, any tips? (I’m from Manchester, hook me up! 😂

Excelent video, 8 ball break?

Would this break technique also work for 8 ball?

My favorite thing about pool is I can watch all these videos yet still go to a table and miss every other shot lol. Gotta simply hit a million balls

I see some Titleist clubs. What’s your handicap?

What do you do when you get it to pop up, but not POP back?

Now show us how the hell to jump with side arm action! No matter what I can’t seem to get head/chin on cue doing that way. Of course I know I don’t “have “ to do it that way but it’s looks “sexy” as you say😀🤷‍♂️

I often go "10" when i watch some dudes play good in pool center

Are you standing with weight on back foot then shifting to front on break?

Tyler styer 10 ball pop break is near Shane’s at least in my opinion

I Break off the Rail all the time ( Speed 7 ) ... I Set the cue ball 3 balls off the Rail . I can Pop the cue ball pretty High

Did SVB sing it? :D

What's your golf handicap mate?

If you watched any of the Michael Montgomery Memorial 10-Ball Mini Tournament, I hope you noticed that the means for an effective break shot was Pattern Racking. Pattern Racking is a means of fixing the rack for the object balls to be placed in a radius of a desired location. If you pattern break a patterned rack, it can be seen as a method of "fixing" the rack. Check out our video mosaic of James Aranas pattern racking and breaking at the 2021 MMMT 10-Ball tournament Read the info on the video as well as it details a mathematical paper we are publishing on why Pattern Breaking is a skill; but, why pattern breaking a Patterned Rack is the same as cheating and should be universally banned from the cue sports.

Ok I was kind of right then mate 😂

I’m stubborn… I always want a 10 🤪

Why would a lot of guys switch from the middle and break from the side like the World 10 ball this past year ? Is it a matter of no template rack ? Funny enough Kaci won breaking from the middle .

Frank Sinatra

Can you also explain in detail on how exactly do you aim.... I tried several methods and still hit and miss

can you make eng sub for this video? my english is not good :( thanks you very much !
