Seen a local pro using strange looking racking template (like a magic rack for 8-ball but with a corner cut off). I tried to figure out how to use it for, say, 9-ball, and why the head ball is not supposed to be tight with the rack. But when he gave me to try it I noticed the lettering "14.1" and the product name, that's how I found the site below. First I did not find anything special about it, but after a while I started to like it. Ultimate Breakmaster seems to be a bit thinner than MR and I especially love the way it is designed and holds the balls. You can see the balls do not rest in windows (which sort of surround the ball's base) but are held in place from one side only. I tend to think it could provide better balls spread after cue ball contact (important for straight pool first hand). And also because of that design it is easy to remove the template from the table as soon as possible.
I have no idea about the price, seems to be available in Europe only for the time being.

look here for more detail
 
They were using it in Tunica in some of the Kamui pay or play matches. I just don't think I'll ever be crazy about any template racking system being used for straight pool.
 
our pool club ordered these in O. Ortmann s shop. the balls are racked very good with em (as with the MBR). i have to say i didnt try the 14.1 template but i cant imagine it being helpfull since some balls often remain in the racking area. for the other disciplines they are as good as the MBR
