SWEET SPOT
Many professional players look for the "sweet spot", a place on the line (headstring) for the cueball that seems to consistently produce good results in a 9-Ball or 8-Ball break on a particular table. Don't hesitate to take the time for a few trial and error break shots before your match to look for the spot that works best for you.
CAUTION: Some players make note ofthe place their opponents are having success from and then break from thesame spot. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. As you can imagine, a "sweet spot" for one player might not work for another because ofthe differences in their execution (speed of hit, amount of follow through, contact angle on the cueball, etc.).
