Agreed there Niall.

It used to be quite easy a few years ago to run out in 9US, now it is so annoying to do it. I used to get a run out at least every 15 - 30 breaks but now you can go double that and even more and still not get one. I find 8UK hard as well but to be fair i don't really use the break that seems to get people run outs.

Straight

Statistically for me is 8us, though I'm getting probably not even a quarter of the 9us runouts as I used to. 8 uk ones are on the up though I think

8us for me

9 ball can be ran easily with a nice break..same as 8uk..a good spilt ur on.

but us8 ball yeah that is the hardest to run-out..u really have to make your shots count if going for a run-out here.

I find 9us the hardest, i just can't seem to find a consistent break at all.

I find us8 easiest tbh...the choice after potting one on the break is massive, no excuses if you pot off the break and have a clear shot and are a decent player!

8us and 8uk are the trickiest, 9us the easiest. Depends on which break i use but most the time they split nicely.

I think the real tough thing in 9US is potting from break as there is less balls on the table, you then have to get a little lucky on ball placement especially the object ball that your supposed to be going for.

completely agree with this mate im the same, i feel like whenever i pot off the break in 8 us the ball are usually so compacted together and so many cannons have to be played etc.

9us is hardest .. 8us if u pot off break and as niall said a decent player with a choice its not easy but its easier.

9us is so difficult .. when u break if something goes down you HAVE to be on the right ball.

How can 9us be the Hardest? If you break the pack on its weakest point then more than likely to pot off the break. Then you can run out with multiple combinations 1-9, 2-9, 3-9 etc, you have more opportunities to clear in 9 us than you do getting a decent split in 8us and 8uk.

8uk is tricky as it's very sometimes too easy to pot the cue ball if over hit your shot by a fraction. 8us I'd say is the hardest as even with a decent split still need to avoid the other balls to make position for your next shot or use cannons etc.

9 ball although u have many combinations ... if you break pack and pot one ball into middle bag .. if your not on the two ball then you dont run out unless you have a shot off the rail and something drops but then its down to luck slightly ..
