Having used flimsy racks, and now a decent rack, I can believe the Delta rack works great. I just can't stand the clack! clank! when people are putting the balls in.

Live ndue gwils!!
If you put in the inserts -- even ones you do yourself -- the rack sounds like wood. It's amazing.
GWILS from the City use to spending summer in the beach cities of Long Giland.

Anyone remember the “billiards workbook”?
Back before things like kindle…..every book was obviously paper.
This thing was probably 4” thick of nothing but drills. To be fair, some of them were the same drill, just slightly longer.
But the thing was huge and had tons of drills.

I don't think it was a fad. I can't imagine that more than 100 people bought the thing. A bad idea poorly executed.
Tell that to the “houseman” at Bogies.
Some pool halls have rackers for the whole room.

Pool being seedy. Now its more European. Its like pole vaulting.
No more room players guarding secrets to the universe. The only secret to sell is practice drills or corrective feedback.

The words “Rack ‘Em Andy” are lost forever.
Andy Lockey was the “rack man“ who wore a carpenters apron to make change. Eight and nine ball were 10¢ a game. Straight pool and ‘line-up‘ we’re 80¢ an hour. I bet 5 people on this site never heard of or played ‘line-up’. I’ve only run into one player in the past 60 years that played the game. A long hall truck driver I met at Fast Eddies on Richmond in Houston in the 90’s.

Closest Waves were a Thousand plus miles in any direction. HOOSIERS they they were Surfers.

It's puff, then puff, and pass. You hog the whole thing and start spouting craziness.
