7-Ball Rack

- Start date
I saw some on ebay at one time while I was looking for a striped 7-ball. I found it at Muellers http://www.poolndarts.com/p-5970-Seven-Ball-Rack-and-Billiard-Ball-Set.
I haven't seen them. Why not use a regular rack and take the head ball off?
I just tried that a few times. I think I'll spring for the rack lol. Johnnyt
Let's be honest here Johnny - what the hell are you playing 7 ball for anyways??????
This case should have never been opened BVal

I play 7-ball ghost without ball in hand. 7 doesn't count on the break, no early combos on the 7, and I put coin near the pocket I must play the 7. It ain't no pussy game. Johnnyt
I was just messin' with ya Johnny. Don't shoot me
BVal
LMAO. I knew you were. I just wanted you to know how I play the ghost with it. Try it...it ain't that easy. Johnnyt
I suck so bad I can hardly beat the 3 ball ghost.
Anyone have a 3 ball rack or know where to get one?

Smart A$$. Johnnyt

Haints Everywhere!!
JohnnyT, As many ghosts as you are playing there it must look like a ghoul convention or the four headless horsemen riding around. I think that we members in good standing at AZ should declare you the official "GHOST BUSTER" for this site. Go Johnny GO!!!:thumbup:

Johnny, just break 9 balls so you can practice your 9 ball break and remove the 8 9 from the table after you break unless you already made them on the break. I figure kill two birds with one stone. Just a thought.
Do I get to make pottery with Demi Moore then? Opps, wrong movie. Johnnyt
Using standard triangle rack for 7-ball
JT:
Feh, a 9-ball rack is actually good for somethin'?
I use a standard triangle rack (a good one, in my case, a Delta-13), but I point it 90-degrees clockwise (or 90-degrees counter-clockwise, depending on which way you prefer the apex of the rack pointing). In other words, position the rack such that the apex of the rack is pointing to just under the second diamond (just under the footstring). Then, rack the balls inside of it in the usual 7-ball "flower" pattern with the 1-ball on the footspot, scrunching the flower sideways into the apex of the rack. (E.g. if the rack is turned 90-degrees clockwise with the apex of the rack pointing to the racker's righthand-side rail, using the left hand to push the flower to the right into the apex of the triangle.) It takes a quick getting used to, since you're applying sideways pressure to tighten the rack, instead of applying forward pressure towards the headball. But it works, and works well. A Delta-13 gives a very tight 7-ball rack in this manner. No need to add an extra ball, then have to take that extra ball away after you remove the rack.
I wish CueTable offered a triangle rack as one of the objects that can be placed on the CueTable surface, but unfortunately, as far as I can tell, it doesn't. (Otherwise, I would've included a CueTable diagram of what I'm talking about.)
Hope this makes sense,
