I was having a little fun, I guess I should have used theseFlex said:
. I haven't tried the rack, so I can't comment on it's quality. You are right that I may not like Fast Larry; in fact I do not like Fast Larry. I guess that wouldn't stop me from buying something from his site if I wanted it and nobody else had it.
Do you know anyone who likes a nineball rack?
The rack I have now was on Ebay for Amish people.
It's better than the Hercules or any rack I've seen.

I've got my eye on this one:

I imagine it is as bulletproof and durable as you can get.
I bought this one at Mueller's (Poolndarts.com) but haven't tried it yet. I should be in my new house with the table set up in a month.

I haven't seen any that can compare to the Diamond. Their website used to have them in several different types of wood, different oak finishes, cherry, mahogany, cocobolo... but I havn't been there in a while. Their website, in my experience, is not their strong suit.
What about The Laser Rack?
Hello All,
I am fairly new to this forum and have enjoyed it thus far. I've been playing pool for ~15 years and have participated in APA Team 9-Ball leagues for the last 6-7 years. I'm not on a team at the moment and have opted to play more local tourneys (most recent being Danny K's "Rotation Continuous" tourney).
I came across this thread and found it appropriate to post about my new product coming soon-- The Laser Rack (patented). Btw, if I'm at all out of line because I'm a newbie, I apologize and will delete my post if necessary. I am currently a one-man operation looking to introduce new products to the billiards community. I have a fully functional prototype of the rack and plan to have my first production batch ready by June 2008.
What is it?
It's a triangle rack that will repeatably give you perfectly positioned racks. No more slightly "crooked" racks and no more need for the foot spot sticker. Also, you can rack from both sides of the table! My product has incorporated laser technology to enable precise & repeatable racking of balls. My first production build will be made out of a nice wood rack with similar dimensions as mentioned by "lights_out".
Please feel free to visit my website (link below in sig).. I look forward to hearing your feedback & comments. Also, if you're in SoCal and would like to meet up for some pool, beer, and a demonstration, feel free to contact me.

I've had a roll-a-rack for a very long time and no problems with it.

club rack
I've been looking at these. The nice thing is that they are made by Diamond, and the inside is large enough so that you don't bump the balls when removing the rack. Anyone try these yet?

Ive got one of those. It works perfect. No problem getting the balls to freeze. I had no idea it was made by Diamond. edit. They were also used at the U.S open last year. IIRC

I thought that rack was going to be perfect. I used mine for only a few months until I noticed that the rollers were leaving tracks on the cloth.... in other words the rollers were wearing the cloth out. I got the Diamond rack after that.
I decided to go with the rack EDRJR recommended- http://www.executivebilliards.com/index.htm- what can I say? I'm a sucker for good marketing.

I couldn't buy anything with that dumb background music in their demo video and even worse RED cloth. lol.
