can you please post a few tips or maybe pics on how to break on arcade snooker because i always seem to pot the white thanks®

Well personally i place the cue ball next to the yellow (or green, depending which side you prefer) and use full backspin whilst aiming to hit the second red of the traingle at 45 degrees. This sends the white back to the cushion so it bounces back to break the pack up even further, thus increasing the chances of potting a red to start a break.

However if i'm playing a more experienced player i will more likely use a simple gentle break rather than risk handing over an open table. (edit - gentle break being an attempt to leave the white very close to the triangle, some users prefer to use full side and come off the bottom cushion to avoid the possibility of potting the white)

Good question and good reply. Breaking is probably the weakest part of my game and I welcome any tips that are thrown my way. I'll post a screenshot later spinner to see if I read you post right.

*I think* Spinner means like this, note the backspin on the ball. Currently not working great on practice table for me but for some reason I could never get 100% power on my shots on my work PC.
