Something happened the other day that I needed to share. I was playing 8-ball against the son of a friend of mine, the kid is about 7. He was racking the balls for me like a normal 7-year old, very very badly. There couldn't have been more than three balls touching eachother in the whole rack. He also stayed at the rack area, so I took it a bit easy on the break to make sure the white didn't jump of the table and hit him in he head.
I then potted 6 balls of the break. My previous best was 5. Out of all the racks I broke, must have been 25,000 or so, this is the one where I pot 6. I pride myself on always delivering a "good" rack for my oppenent, and off course for myself when I practice. This though makes me wonder, someone else please tell me they agree this was the fluke of the decade for me, otherwise I might aswell chuck out all those hard triangles and just use the rubbery ones and spend about two seconds racking.
