Article: Bring your back hand behind your shoulder and just above your hips. If you want more of a back swing, you can bring it back a little further. Steady your bridge hand, relax, and get ready to shoot! You want a smooth, controlled backswing with full follow-through. A steady, square impact carries more force than a lightning-fast shank. To break the rack effectively, hit the head ball directly on target. You'll also need to apply sufficient force to distribute the balls around the table. However, it is best to relax and focus on a square hit, as opposed to trying to apply excessive force. The main thing is to hit the head ball squarely! The force in the break shot comes from the legs and hips. Move your hips forward to achieve greater force. Hit the cue ball with the cue stick. Move your body forward from the hips to apply more power in your break shot. Let your torso move up at the end of the stroke. Your cue stick should be pointing towards the back of the table when you finish. Take a moment after each shot to note the position of the cue ball and the formation on the table. If the cue ball tends to drive forward after impact, hit it lower for more backspin. If it likes to veer off toward the sides, hit it slower for greater accuracy and power. If you are close to sinking the two balls behind the cue ball, think about how you could fine tune your shot to sink them in the corner pockets.

What is a summary?
Pull your cue back slowly with your back hand. Make direct contact with the head ball. Shoot the cue ball. Fine tune your break shot by watching where the balls land.
