This Keeps Happening

This thread was started because I noticed there seemed to be 3-4 balls sort of clustered together quite a bit. As in the original post. The intent of this thread was to ask others that use a template if that is something that is normal for them as well.

But again, others have twisted it around and gotten away from the original post.

Lately the break has been working better. I've been running out a few times as well. On Friday afternoon I got out five times including three breaks in a row at one point. This new Diamond Professional is giving me more chances than my Gold Crown IV.

Typical for a worn out or defective template rack...3-4 balls will come out almost paralell and end up clustered. It really has to be either poorly designed or shot to hell before this starts happening, but I HAVE seen it happen with ancient template racks. I even had it happen to me for a couple of days, until I replaced the rack.

Buy a new one, an original Magic rack. If you can't get a good break with a rack like that (the magic rack "loads" the balls), then you are beyond hope. You allready replaced the best table ever made, a GC4, with a Diamond table because you didn't like the result of your breaks, what is a few bucks for a piece of plastic? Better still you could check if all your balls are the same size and weight, better get new ones, just to be sure. Then buy a new house just for the heck of it.

I was at McDonald’s and spit out my fries at the last line!
 
DCP, have you figured out how to record, store, and share videos of yourself breaking and playing, using your phone? IIRC from other threads, you didn’t know how. (I assume you have a smartphone.)

I would be willing to help you create a YouTube account and work with you to record videos and upload them to YT, so you can share links to them here. It’s not hard to do. Here’s a sample (please excuse how the first rack started, or how the friggin’ second run ended):

DM me. Or don’t. Up to you.
