This Keeps Happening


I use the Outsville template for breaking racks of 9B. And as you all know I have been breaking those racks on my new Diamond Professional. The issue is that I usually end up with about four balls all close together as shown in the diagram. In this case it's the 4B, 5B, 6B, and 9B. The 6B blocks the 5B into the upper corner and the 9B blocks the 5B into the bottom corner. Thus position from the 4B to the 5B is very difficult. All these balls so close together has been making runouts very difficult for me.

My question is simply - is this normal for a template?

What is the B after every number supposed to stand for?

I just got to make a comment okay I'm almost 80 and I probably don't fit into today's pool anymore. But the fact is I don't like the template. I'd rather see the balls just racked whatever happens happens. The rack is tight, it's not tight. If a ball moves but no one notices it so be it.

Players rack for themselves, rack for the other player, or you have a referee racking I don't care. The game is not supposed to be mechanical or robotic. It requires a randomness about it. To watch a tournament where whoever's breaking makes the one in the side every break and then shoots is horrible. Your playing breaking first shot every rack.
