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 đŸ˜‚

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

Some tech-addicted equipment junky will have to own it. Looks a re-boot of the Sardo. Sorta.

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.

They have literally priced these things so they will never sell one...

John Barton likes to say he prices some of his bags so high they won't sell, and he gets to keep them by default.

This guy heard that and said.. Hold my beer.

Buy it and give us a review
 
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.

Hell to the no lol my wife bought me the wooden diamond rack for christmas and though I like it and it racks well I thought the price for that was silly at over $100. It’s a wooden triangle for gods sakes lol
