I miss the head ball on purpose and play inside into the second ball. The back balls don't run far, but that corner ball leaks right out to the opponent's hole. If you hit it right, you hide the cueball under it.

This was special because the two balls high up cover the ball hanging in my pocket, and he's in jail under the 9. Usually the 9 is covering it a little but he can reply somewhat. This game was over after his second shot.

That is a good one, must have double kissed the cue ball to get there. Opponent will have to take a scratch or try a risky shot to make the ball in your hole.

That is an very interesting break technique that I have not heard of. Sometimes we joke about a good "road break" when the cue ball kisses a ball along that side of the rack and you get lucky and instead of scratching you land kind of like this. But to come off the second ball on purpose shooting for this -- I am going to have to give this break a try :)

I'll set up a camera and record it, it definitely has more risk but I shoot it exclusively and am usually getting the best of it

Sometimes if you hit the break bad you get a kiss and instead of scratching, the cue ball two rails into the stack. I only wish I could control it.

It does not happen often, but when it does, it is a great break.

I like that. Even might be worth it if not frozen. Trying to get lucky can be better than slow death.:D
