Shane's racking "trick"

I agree with this, even with the Magic Rack, if an untrained neutral racker is used, you can still get a bad rack.

With the magic rack, you really need to make sure to squeeze all the balls together after they are placed on the rack.

I would think that it shouldn't take a tremendous amount of training to get someone who has any pride to be able to provide a decent rack.

I can't play pool for $hit, but I can rack well. (Probably these two things go hand in hand, I certainly have a lot of practice racking, lol.) I take it personally if my opponent can't get a good break on one of my racks. I realize that not many care enough to put the proper attention to it. But you wouldn't need too many people for 9 tables like at the US Open.

I've had no formal training, and we play on older equipment that isn't replaced or maintained, and we use plastic racks. I can do it, so I know it can be done.

(I'm not saying that I'm necessarily qualified to rack for this tournament, but I bet if I had a couple hours of training with Jay, he would find my racks acceptable. I'm sure there are many folks, far more experienced than I, that could provide an acceptable rack.)

Now what do we hear from the Shane is cheating crowd? Crickets. Maybe instead of complaining that he is cheating they should practice their break.
 
Wow, so quick to believe skill over rack manipulation.

The back ball not touching and cut break. Then tell me nothing to racking!

Gap between wing ball and second ball!

Both work! Nudge one causes gap on wing ball.

Magic rack and no gaps! No problems!

Was thinking the exact same thing! 10 pages of accusations, innuendos, and hearsay....and now....? Typical.

It's like the accusations that appears on the front page of the newspaper, while the acquittal can be found on page 28, next to the classifieds.

I think we'll soon hear the sounds of breaking coming from practice rooms worldwide. :)
 
Rack you own is the lamest thing I've ever heard of., and one of, if not the, biggest problem in 9-ball.

They obviously don't care how far do you think that cash they snapped Shane off for goes in their country ,,Shane's second in a Ranking that means nothing and tells nothing
The Ko boys proved that rankings don't mean squat

I happen to know both the exchange rate and the cost of living in Taiwan.

Snapped Shane off for? They didn't snap him off for anything. They both have a standing offer to play Shane for anything over 10k heads up race to 100.

They wanted NO PART of that out in Vegas. Their entourage ducked it all week.
