Chameleon Rack at Valley Forge Gabriels 8-Ball Event

The problem is that most "wild" tables have at least some of the craters in the wrong spots and it's impossible to get a tight rack in the cratered area. See

for a related story.

I'll admit that. With my home table, I bought the Sardo because I was constantly getting balls rolling out of place and such. After I found the sweet spot, I get a perfect rack every single time thanks to the arrows on the side of the rack that line of with the marks on the table.

It really cut down rack time and made it 50 times easier IMO.

I thought the Chameleon was cool because you could rack 7 ball with it.

you can rack 7 ball with the sardo, just gotta turn the rack sideways like the Chameleon. People dont know that.

Since I have to rack like a million times a day for my customers in the show, I really want to thank the Chameleon people for letting me use their rack.

In all fairness, the table at my booth was not level and has been tap a few times so it is a very tough table to rack on to begin with.

I have tried the new Sardo and I am impressed with what it can do. I did not try it on the table I had at my booth. I wish I had so I can offer more information to those who are interested in them.

It appears that the Sardo is applying a vertical downward force as well as a horizontal force while the Chameleon uses only a horizontal force to the rack parallel to the bed of the table. If the table has devots all over the place, I doubt a horizontal force alone can serve to keep the balls tight.
