Hi AZB, I bought this pool ball cleaner a while back off ebay for $100 + $20 for shipping.
It works really well however I have seen been given a diamond ball cleaner and do not need this anymore.
Here is a link to the ebay listing of who I originally purchased this product from...
HAHA, yea I cracked up as I was typing it. Glad he's a mature person and professional.
As far as the pattern racking, I would be surprised that either Ko would ever do something not within the rules. But I do not recall the match for certain.
I actually like the racking templates because it is the best way to freeze the balls. With that said, if there are set rules, then they should be followed and not changed on a whim.
