For those who might want to see other products from the same company.... Looks like Ikea quality at Gucci prices.
Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳
- Thread starter trob
- Start date
How do you remove the rack if it's tight all the way around?
Looks like he runs a small company in Latvia making laminated furniture, which explains the Swedish style space saving theme. Very hard to produce products with competitive prices in this market space world-wide, and maybe his sales are better locally. The pool rack is a product made using his existing shop tools but outside his customer knowledge base. Not made by someone who fully understands the game.
Silicone gloves for the ref....
You should add some copper to it for good energy flow around your aura and to kill microbes like the dumb "medical" bracelets.
That really looks like Ikea furniture, but if handmade I can see the high prices. However, I don't see a need for handmade IKEA products LOL
He has an entire CNC workshop setup, but it might be in his basement.
BitmanWood is a family business making modern and practical things that people need to make their life more organized.
Working with furniture already for 30+ years. Space Saving Furniture, Modern Furniture, Kitchen, Living room, Bathroom furniture and many other Hand made products.
So yes, high-quality Ikea-style products. I think a lot of people would rather spend more on artisan/craftsman solid wood furniture and get bargains on low quality MDF/particle-board products from box stores, rather than spending on mid-range laminate. I just don't see the appeal.

He's also puffin' super hi-grade ganja if he thinks these are gonna sell.
Gosh, anyone that has a Delta Elite rack doesn’t require a template. If the rack doesn’t produce a tight cluster of balls,
then you had better have a table mechanic check your table it is still level because Delta Elite racks aren’t the cause.

If we want to be absolutely ridiculous and chic about racking balls, then under the cloth we can drill 15 small holes in the slate, and then fill them with retracting steel pegs. The holes under the cloth are present when racking, like a template, and after a break the holes fill and disappear. You can even time it so that the advancement happens a second after the cluster impact, so that the template disappears while the balls are still rolling.
This must have been done before at some point in time. It will not be the future of pool.

The problem with racking balls isn't getting them together tight. The problem is you're racking them on cloth with a nap and once you've push them together tight and remove the rack they want to reposition themselves. You can get the balls together tight with any rack just using your fingers.
We've got 14.1 covered.
Modern pool cloth doesn’t have a nap. With new cloth and new balls they don’t reposition themselves. But as the cloth gets dents and imperfections around the rack area, yes they roll off. That’s the genius of the templates - they force the balls together
Funny you should mention that. Does anyone remember this blast from the past? They had these at every table years ago at the super billiards expo (back at the old location ) . They sold the used one afterwards for $40 and my wife decided to buy me one. As I remember the owner had a real hatred for Johnny archer and insisted he won because he would manipulate the rack. This made sure the rack was square and not at an angle. There’s a little spot on the back of the rack so you could center it properly. It hangs on my wall for people to ask questions now

Part of the break is reading the rack. The people who complain about being asked to rerack for an opponent are the same people who complain about their opponent taking too long to shoot. It is all about impatience as an outlet for poor stress management, where pool itself is a game requiring massive stress management. Slugs are worse than tilted racks.
That actually sounds awesome
That's the one that I was trying to find for my post, there's also one that looks similar but has a 9-ball rack attached to the eight ball rack.Funny you should mention that.

I thought everyone knew this secret by now. You just lick the balls and roll them together by hand. It doesn't take long to learn just the right amount of slobber to hold the balls together. Too little or too much is bad but just the right amount of slobber is perfect! I tried to train my wife, my chow, and my pitbull. I didn't tell my wife when she came behind my pitbull that had been licking various parts of his anatomy! Chow slobber is best but they quickly get bored. I think my next invention will be some kind of a muzzle/bucket combination to catch the drool from the big heavy drooling dogs like mastiffs. I'll have to name it Butches Ball Tack or something like that, I don't think dog slobber will take over the market!
About the cables: A friend assembled them for somebody. I forget if it was five hundred or a thousand for the first three feet then a hundred a foot for pure silver and fluid in the cables. The fluid wasn't just for cooling, it helped carry the sound. He demonstrated the fancy cables against good quality conventional cables and even with bad hearing I could tell the sound was much cleaner through the high dollar cables. They work! They were selling a lot overseas, pairs or multiple pairs of cables sixty to a hundred feet long at those prices!

Good one!
Looks like your device will also sanitize and then polish (or perhaps I got the sequence incorrect) the balls while one is racking them up!
