That’s the loosest rack I’ve ever seen....
I've played on some tables where that is about as tight as you can get them! Hard to get a tight rack when balls are different diameters! Lol

Do you see an advantage in that gap pattern? I rack this up a few times and it's not good.
Loose racks
All of this controversy about racking is because some troglodytes still insist on using old-fashioned triangle racks. Magic Rack and its competitors eliminate these types of problems. I can’t help but think that people prefer old-fashioned racks because they WANT bad racks for some reason.

Wouldn't raking a rack result in 2 losses at DCC?
From this same discussion on Facebook, people were saying Bustamonte quit on SVB the match before for the same reason.
Wow, so I just watched what Shaw did. Class act there.
Wow. That's whacky, if true.
If there is no referee, and it is rack your own, and as long as Shane is not engaged in pattern racking, then I don’t see where it is any of Shaw’s business how tight Shane’s rack is. And, especially, he has no right whatever to disturb Shane’s rack and demand he re-rack. It seems to me that Shaw is the one who is clearly and obviously engaging in unsportsmanlike conduct.

Yes, but you get very little movement from the other balls when you hit the 1!!
If you seriously think it was okay to rack like this as long as it was not pattern racking tells me either you are a cheat yourself or a complete idiot.
I’m not trying to imply that I’m smarter than Shane...but I might have more action experience.
So, I’m playing in a 9-ball tournament about 20 years ago at Fast Eddie’s in Arlington...
...ran a four-pack on a guy...he was a bit of a hothead.....it was rack your own.
So, the fifth game, he came over to look at my rack...he said the two balls behind the
one weren’t touching....so I turned the rack three ways....switched a couple balls...
...I told him I couldn’t get those two balls touching while they were IN the rack, never-
mind when I took it off....he said “I do it every time, why can’t you?”
So I handed him the rack....said “Show me....if you can do it, I’ll learn how to do it.”
He couldn’t freeze them either....I ran another rack...and three-fouled him the next rack
to win the match.
The rack looked a lot like this....
...except the three was closer to the nine.
Hard to find perfect racks and perfect balls.
...so what happens if Shane hands Jayson the triangle?

Sounds like a good reason to switch to 10 ball
