so I got to watch a video on facebook and apparently you push those little knobs in to get a perfect tight rack all the time. Maybe a good idea except THEY WANT $500 FOR IT!!!! That’s a no for me space ranger 
Introducing the new Bitman rack đŸ˜³

Too much engineering and cost for almost 0 benefit past using your fingers and taking a second of time. And not even close to the template racks for price and efficiency. Is the audience for this the same people who buy stupid expensive cables for their electronics or something? "Hey, you should come over to listen to my $500 speaker cables and use my $500 rack" LOL. Who did the market research for this? "We spoke with 10 billionaires, and they all said they would buy it, so let's go!!!".
$500 for cables is actually cheap compare to what some of them run. I've been using the basic KimberKable since it came out, no need to blow any more.
Fancy Triangle racks are completely dead. Only the basic cheap ones that come with the tables are still valid. Template racks did to them what Amazon did to Sears.
This guy won’t legit sell a single one, imo.

I can just see one in any poolhall, pos wouldn't last a week. Looks like if you don't tighten those knobs right you could get into some 'rack fkery'.
Exactly . It’s not a terrible Idea when you see them use it but who the hell decided that $535 for a plastic rack was going to sell. Lol
Several gaffe racks failed that were also made to solve a non-existent problem.
Aside from these, there was one I can't find a picture of, it was some monstrosity with both a standard and 9 ball rack attached to each other with a spacer to push against the end rail. Which of course prevented it from being adjusted if you could not get a tight rack in a single spot. It was several feet across. Saw it used in a tournament on video a few times. I bet @jay helfert has seen it hehe.

I doubt it even works. Spinning the balls by hand with a wood rack is hit or miss, mostly miss.
The reason template racks revolutionized the rack is the balls roll down the ramps they sit on (the edge of the ball cutouts), causing them to lean into each other.
Plus they can be stamped out of commodity material for pennies each.

Someone with more money than brains needs this new RACK............NOT
Reminds me of the electric charcoal grille cleaning machine.....
just finished my prototype. It uses ultra-violet light to equalize the surface energy of the balls so that there is zero net dipole repulsion at the contact points. It also makes espresso. It is on sale for 1 nuclear arsenal but the price may go up before Christmas.
No shifting, no hustle.

Never has there been a more appropriate time to use the word 'guff'
Any perfect rack requires a perfect way to position it. That seems to be missing. Those four white lines aren't going to work. Especially because they are not down to the level of the cloth. Maybe the $1,000 improved version will be better.
