Check out this 45 ball rack

[SBC]

Back in the early days as we were opening Salt City Billiards in 2017 in a new spot after the old room was lost to fire my buddy Big Mike had a dream. Make a 45 ball rack and see if anyone could break and run 3 racks at once.

We had a blast with it when the pool hall opened. Had a break and run pot for awhile. Some of the better players ran out. Talk about ball clusters.

Ko's have a video doing it. I've done 4 trays all spread out, 1 cue ball twice in a row.

I tried that many years ago on my table, when I saw the huge clusters after the break all of the fun went away.

That 45-ball rack looks like pure chaos after the break. I'd be lost in the clusters before I got halfway through it. How hard did you have to smash that break to spread them out at all?

I broke as hard as I could and there was no spread, it was like a cue ball hitting a bowling ball.

lol that bowling ball image is perfect, i figured a hard break would scatter it but it just sat there
