I mean sticking the object ball to the rail so it rolls down towards the hole without much deviation away from it to maximize pocketing it. Cue ball control is a whole another discussion.

Wow thats some great info. Its all very logical and makes sense, I just didnt think about the whole categorization of top/bottom is more for open and left/right is more for rail even though that is what I have been subconsciously doing LOL, its a natural concept to me so I am glad you are able...

I seen videos on how to rack for your opponent in 9 ball to PREVENT them from easily running or getting an easy run at the 1-2-3... is that a coward move too or are you SUPPOSED to do that? LOL ya

I always wondered about this, why DONT they do it? Whats the downside, they take too much time? You can limit time... I dont see any other reason......

I hear what you saying here, but we have to add a little something. You have some sound logic but it can biased just to serve that idea. For example, in tennis, if you win 6-0, 6-3, 7-5, even though the "lesser player" got handled, he got used to the pressure and settled down coming back a...

Those numbers seem a lot more accurate to me as opposed to people here saying players are running racks left and right all the time with the magic rack. And thats the US Open, where conditions are pretty perfect and the world's best players playing their best pool that week. I dont see how...

Why did they ever stop using that rack that is huge and you stamp down after the balls are in place, you know what I mean... what was wrong with that one? FTR, I dont think you are whining about anything, LOL... we should all be free to express out opinions but I much rather see them backed up...

Ya exactly what I was afraid of and one of the main purposes of my OP, since I am currently in the market for my first case. I was wondering what case could house a rack and it seems like there will be some downside unless I get a huge flat case that can fit it flat. I dont think I will need...

Exactly what I am thinking... the most logical set of quips I have read here thus far. Why add "fake luck" = "fake skill" to matches that somehow make the "lesser" player more "skillfully"... it really sounds ludicrous the more I think about it. And people say it takes longer to use the magic...

Thats what I'm thinking... and I am wondering, who are these godly players who think 9B is too easy with a magic rack? Are they running 20-50-100 racks in a row? Because in recent history, I haven't seen a pro in a world tourny run more than 3 racks in the whole tourny, and most times they...

Can you show me what case you use that fits this without folding? And how many racks, approx, do you think you got before it became useless... I assume its still in the hundreds?

I understand your point but as I just wrote above, if the pros use it, I dont think anyone should be saying this makes the game too easy or gives an advantage to lesser players. That makes no sense when in fact it takes more luck out of the game. I am not sure what levels of players you are...

LOL aint that the truth... but when every pro match uses it, it cant be that bad. No one's game is perfect, but I think the rack should be to take luck out, I mean, yes there is always some luck in pool, but it shouldnt be because the rack changes all the time. That means the person with lower...

What kind of case do you have, and are you rolling it up like a tootsie roll or more like just a couple of times loosely? I feel like that would ruin the rack, especially after folding every week or multiple times a week.

But these dont seem to fit either in like a standard 2x2 or even 2x4 case... what case do you use to fit these?

So I see most pro matches use the Magic Ball Rack. Is there a reason that bars and such still use the horrible triangles, which on a table thats uneven and balls that are beat up, sometimes it takes forever to truly rack "perfectly"? Anyone here actually carry a Magic Ball rack around with...

Draw drag? Is that basically shooting with higher speed but because of the draw the cue slows down just before the strike when it grips the table? I heard this also... so if you barely miss the target ball and hit rail first, does that automatically take care of the angle to hole the target...

So this means you just have to hit a more accurate shot/less margin for error and play for position? I am unfamiliar with the "walk" terminology, he was just saying in the video that you have a much better chance of making the rail shots if u add top as I said. Someone just last week told me...

I was watching a tor video and saw the tip on using top to make the ball "stick" to the rail.... is that something all good players use? Then I had a question on what if someone needed to hit that rail shot but putting top on it would leave the ball in a "highly" undesirable location, or even...
