Btw....the rail first break has been discussed several times here on the forum over the years...here's my input/post re. this break from a 2012 thread ----->

There's a not uncommon scenario when the kick-break is actually a very strong break...and that ideal scenario for the kick break needs for two components to be in place...

Component #1. You need the poolroom to have somewhat damp conditions - very damp/sticky conditions, better yet...and ideally, balls that are not too new and clean...a dry poolroom with newer clean balls - no good....cuz unlike with dry conditions, where the corner ball and/or the cueball will leak out, with the sticky conditions the cueball will almost always stick frozen to the rack like you need it to.

Component #2. You are getting spotted 1-hit-and the pick or 2-hit-and the pick - the pick eliminates the main downside to this break - of possibly selling out a ball/shot on this break...now you can hit this break a little harder to more-so spread balls to your side - and if a sell-out ball leaks out of the stack towards your opponent's pocket, you get to 'pick it' off, and everything's george...:heh

Personally, when I tried it, I could never get the cue ball to stick to the rack the way I wanted every time so I gave up on it many years ago.

I played someone who used this break against me. The conditions were as described, damp, humid, sticky. It was very effective. I lost many games before I figured out how to use it against him. An experienced player will have little difficulty in turning the table to favor his position.

The tall, lanky kid with the baggy pants and hoody? I played a few games of bank with that dude and he hits em good.

I think that's him.

When I played him he had on an Adidas sweatsuit. He does play well, and a gentleman to boot.

Had a more Eurpoean type play for one pocket as opposed to the Midwest/American type style.
