A buddy of mine played some 8 ball this morning. We both live in an over 55 community and we're both about equal in playing skill. Most usually either he or I will win the monthly 8 ball Tournament. We play on either of 2 nine-foot Gandy G tables. The rack that is used is plastic from Seyberts. Both tables are bad breakers. Usually only a ball is made every 3 or 4 racks. However, this morning I brought my Delta-13 rack (which I use at home on my bar box) and used it. We played 7 games and a ball was made on each break. When breaking, the cue was spotted either in the center of the kitchen line, about 5 or 6 inches to the right of dead center of the kitchen line, or once from the right side rail. I don't believe this was serendipity. I think the firmer rack (Delta-13) does not allow the balls to move while being compressed during racking while the plastic rack from Seyberts allows the ball to move slightly. I'd appreciate any opinions on this subject.
