5% for a good player. The chances of sinking the 8 on the break are different based on the size of the table and the skill of the player. If you get a lot of ball action, the ratio of pocket opening space to rail space is greater on a 7 foot table than an 8, and an 8 is better than a 9. However, most 8 ball on the break shots are performed without the 8 ball going off any rails, and it goes in a side pocket. To increase your chances, the cue ball must be placed nearly next to the head string and the rail. The contact point is a matter of preference, but the most recommended for the shot is slight follow.
