I am surprised that scoring on the break and re-racking has gotten legs, for it happens so seldom. I can see a reason for it in a tournament short race, but otherwise in general play I see no reason for it all. In the 2018 MOT out of all the games played it happened once. In the recent challenge matches race to 24 or a possible 48 games it may of happened once or twice during those matches.
So I guess you can throw it out the window that there is a special way to rack the balls to score.
About a year ago, I for some reason and a reason that I can not remember, I practiced a very few breaks, I scored 3 times in a row. The next morning I scored 4 times in a row. I have not hit any op breaks since.
My racks are consistent for the spots are wore in to freeze the balls, other than that it was uncanny. I do not remember how I hit them.
It is kind of 'ironic', for we do not trust the opponent to rack even though we get to inspect it and get it adjusted to our liking. So now we have rack your own but we still do not trust that for there might be some sly way to rack, so we go through a whole re-rack if a ball is made.
What is everyone so scared of! Players and yes pros do not run much over a couple of balls anyway. Just look at the stats of these challenge matches. They could run more on average but they loose shape. You have one hole to shoot at, once you lost shape, that is it, no matter if you are a pro or not.
I agree, it is ok for short race tournament play, but the stats do not back it up that it is otherwise that critical. No matter what break is used, it is the same for both opponents.
Here is one for you! '68 Official BCA OP rule: in all cases of consecutive games, the loser of the game is the breaker in the next game. Whitey
