What is the record for most balls made on the break in 9-ball?

Answer 1

I once played against a pool pro, in 1 break off he potted 5 balls.

I got 7 like a week ago on DECEMBER 2nd 2009

I once shot in eight balls on the break. It's funny because I was leading 4 to 3 in a race to 5 during a quarter final match when I sank the eight on the break, and in my excitement of pumping my fist and sighing relief, I failed to notice what the referee quickly spotted. He summoned all players to our table and asked everyone to "...count the balls left on the table." There were seven. One other time in my experience (and I've been playing for 30 years) I've made five. I've seen someone else make six once. I've never seen seven. In a tournament billed as the "Tournament of Champions" where all entrants were previous winners of local eight-ball tournaments, we were playing at The Crow's Nest in Wisner, Louisiana in the fall of 1993. We were playing on 8 ft. Valleys and I was shooting with a Benson cue. The referee was Wayne Stevens. I still marvel at how all breaks are as unique as snowflakes. And how every once in a harvest moon a snowflake will appear as big Mizerak himself. Matthew Friestman
