seen quite a few do this
up in the midwest I learned how to rack 9 ball like that from Shane Mcminn and a few others. Its alot easier if you got bigger hands. I can get a tighter rack with my hands than I can with some of those made in pool hell racks you find every so often. Practice it a little bit, its a neat little addition to have in the bag.
I also learned from Shane how to Juggle balls like you may have seen Tommy Kennedy do on the table, its fun when your taking a break from practice and its great for your hand eye coordination, and timing. It always makes me laugh when people see you doing stuff like that and are thinking WTF!!! lmao
Thats what is so cool about the game, there's alot more you can learn besides making balls that will keep you interested and having fun in the long run. I been practicing playing hand ball, like mike massey its hard but I'm making headway and its really fun, same as learning to play one handed jacked up its difficult but is so different that it really challenges even the most experienced players.
Thats what the game is all about stepping up to the challenge, and there is always more than one way to skin a cat. Just ask any coonass. lmao
gotta keep it fun,
