Because you tell yourself you can't, so you don't. It's in the mind. The board is already broken.

Confidence. Commitment. Technique.
What color is the one you're breaking? Look at the back, the scale is there telling you what each color matches.
Im breaking the brown one
Brown is, if memory serves, like 1.25 or 1.5 boards. If you're breaking that with ease, but failing on a single board, then either there's something drastically wrong with your rebreakables (which seems unlikely, in my experience) or it is purely a mental thing. You're not committing. You've talked yourself into failing.
The brown board is more difficult to break than a single pine board. Get that into your head. Remember how easy you broke the plastic board. And go right through the pine.
What sort of plastic rebreakable boards do you have? I ask, because the ones we have (from a company called UMAB - Ultimate Martial Arts Boards) are pretty well engineered. I've broken them in series and I cannot tell any difference between them and wooden boards. .
Yeah that sounds about right. I think they are like 1.25 of a board. I figured taht after 8 years of the board being used, it may be overly broken in, and easier to brake due to that.
While that is certainly possible, I still think it's mental, not physical. Some of ours have been broken literally hundreds of times and are not notably easier to break.

I was thinking about buying one of them for myself , but I just saw that one of the boards costs like $70 so that's a no go.
You may want to look into the tongue-and-groove kind, which are cheaper. They don't hold up well in the dojang getting broken like 30x a week, but if it's just for your personal use at home, I think it should be fine.
Have you tried any of these? I bought a couple, 7-8 years ago, and after maybe 70-80 breaks, they could be broken with your pinky.
If there is a brand you've used that holds up better, I'm sure people would like to know which one it is.
I've gotten the tongue and groove ones from Dynamics, and I think got at least twice that much use out of them. Which, in a school setting, still means buying new ones every few months, but for one person trying to get ready for one belt test, it would probably be fine IMO.
Like when something like this happens:The only time board breaking will be important to me is the day I'm attacked by a plank of wood
