Derby 9ball rack mechanics

[Paul Schofield]

AtLarge. After years of recording what the pros are doing on the break, it changed my mind. To my surprise, the pros (and everyone else) are just slamming the rack and slopping balls in. More times than not, this is how they get to shoot after the break.

I should clarify. All stats I collected were from 2009 and before. I ignored any match that was using a special racking gadget other than a standard triangle. As fast as our sport changes, I recognize that it is quite possible that break stats may look a little different in 2013.
