Rack Right

[mfcreece]

Anybody own one of these? Made by Steve Grice.

The idea is that they rack the balls perfectly every time ie no gaps.

Are they worth it for the price?

[Stupree]

After all these years perfecting my rack and squeeze technique they go and do this

I haven't used one but they have been used on the IPA tour and the feedback has been good, they are more cumbersome than a regular triangle and I have seen a few chaps clumsily handling these over the racked balls instead of the intended forward slide.

[mfcreece]

I've got mine perfected - just about.

Some people are clueless though, our league game on Monday night had 4 foul breaks in the same frame due to loose racking by the 'ref'

Still £55 seems a bit steep, but ive heard breaks are very consistent using them, still undecided

Where are they for sale? as i thought they were only exclusive to the ipa tours at the moment and not on sale yet.

So it's a triangle with a flappy back so you don't have to use your thumbs, or am i over simplifying it?

[golferson123]

really hard to rack 15 reds, never used to use the triangle any decent player can rack em by hand

[blinky88]

If you are unable to rack the balls with a triangle then you shouldn't be playing.

If you are unable to rack the balls with a triangle then you shouldn't be playing.

A bit more thought required? There are several medical conditions that might make this difficult, but I'm sure they'll take your helpful comment on board and stop playing...

i havent used a triangle for years

[gazza147]

As all top pool players and pro's will tell you Most Important thing is the Break!!........And yes these make a big difference to the Break.

Rack Right

a guy I play snooker every now and then never uses a rack to do the reds
I have not been able to do a rack as nicely without a triangle

Triangle McColgan, is the best.imo.
