Loose Rack

Several tables in the league I play on, it's difficult to get a tight 8 ball rack, unless you push the rack up which makes it easier for the breaker to pocket a ball.

What to do if you are racking for the opponent without tapping the balls in?
How to break when you know the rack is loose that will open them up? Top or bottom spin, at an angle, second ball etc?
 
If the table hasn't been beat to death, sliding the edge of the rack back and forth over the area around the head spot will smooth the cloth out and usually give a tight rack.
