Will be drawing 6 names from this thread Sunday night... We have been out of stock on these while we redesigned them based on feedback from people all over the country including a bunch of AZers... The 8Ball actually is now slotted so balls can be easily removed if they wind up sitting on it....
We learned a ton from The Music City open a few year ago and even more from the Make it Happen 8ball event....
Thanks to everyone who has helped over the last 2 years.....
Differences to other templates....
1) Polyester Material Mimics the friction of the actual cloth... If you don't hit the break good you won't make a ball like some other templates.. The Finals of the Music City Open when they were used had 4-5 Dry breaks and the high package was 2....
2) The template does most of the work freezing the balls... load the template and push the balls forward and release... The balls will settle back and remove most of the gaps with only a little touch up required to get a perfect rack... This works even when the balls are worn and out of tolerance... Other template create slugs once the balls get more than 3 thousandths wear... We were used for the entire "Make it Happen" 8ball event without a single slug rack... Another template was used the prior year and was tossed out after the first day due to the number of slugs
3) Creases do not ruin the templates... They do have a memory but not like plastic where if you fold it up your next step is to throw it in the trash.....
4) The templates can be shot across at anything but super slow speed and you can use any english and they will not kick up or alter the cueball's path....
The only thing in common with the Accu-Racks and other templates is the fact they are templates.. They have as much in common as a cadillac and a yugo.....
