Lots of people complain about who should rack the balls and what to do when a ball is made on the break. Here is a perfect example of keeping the integrity of the game and taking away the excuses of your opponent and yourself.
Rack your own: When you scratch off the break or that corner ball leaks out, you always have in the back of your mind if your opponent did something to the rack. Take this excuse away from yourself and opponent by just having them rack their own. Which brings me to the next problem, making balls on the break!
Defensive break: Now, if you rack your own and make a ball, your opponent is thinking, he is rigging the rack! Just take this horribly big advantage away from them by making the break defensive. This means that whether you make a ball or not, its your opponents shot! A lot of times when you make a ball it is not the best hit on the rack and you would have sold out a shot to your opponent, but since you made a ball, you just keep pocketing balls! You MUST hit a good break if it is a defensive shot, because if you make a ball and you sell out, your opponent is the one running balls!
