I'm getting ready to re-draw the rack outline on my Diamond Pro-Am table. I know from previous discussions there is nothing in the rules defining what a "regulation" rack for 14.1 should be (much to my dismay). But I've noticed recently in many of the professional 14.1 tournaments the rack outline on the tables have been that of the wooden Diamond rack.
Maybe it's just me, but that rack seems too big, especially on the foot end, to define what balls are in or out of the rack. I'm leaning towards a wooden rack that is about 1/4" in diameter, with rounded corners, and limited clearance inside once the balls are racked as my pattern rack.
I thought I'd start this thread to get some opinions from 14.1 players as to their preferences prior to the actual draw. I'd welcome any comments or recommendations.
