One
of the arts of successful break building is to operate in
the 'scoring zone'.
Next
time you watch a great player in action, take note of how
smoothly and efficiently they appear to gain position around
the pink and black balls when compiling breaks. With the
minimum of fuss they pot a red and magically land right
behind the black with two or three reds available..
In
order to maximise the potential of your break building opportunities
it is essential that the paths from the colours to the pockets
remain free, thus allowing the high value colours to pot
in as many pockets as possible.
In
Fig 1, position has been obtained on a choice of reds. Play
the red ball that frees the colour to pot in the same pocket.
Providing greater potting options in this way will enable
you to remain around the pink and black when compiling your
breaks.
Stay in the "scoring zone"
for bigger breaks!
