What are the rules for the break shot in pool?
For a break to be legal, at least four balls must be driven to the rails or a ball must be pocketed. Otherwise, the balls are re-racked and re-broken by the same player. A game not legally broken but resulting in a scratch or foul will be re-racked and broken by the opposite player.

Can you jump shot in pool?
Jump shots aren't illegal in American pool, but to be legal, you need to approach the shot from a high angle and hit the ball down into the felt causing it to pop back up and over the ball you're trying to jump. Many players employ a jump cue like the Rage Jump Cue to make this easier.

What is the most difficult shot in pool?
The one type of shot many acknowledge as the hardest is the straight in shot, and from long range. So imagine the object ball is close to the middle of the table, and the cue ball is at one end, and the intended pocket is at the other end. Imagine the shot is dead straight (or just off dead straight).
