I have come to the conclusion that after trying several different racks and 2 sets of balls that I will purchase a Sardo. The issue I have even with BRAND BRAND new cloth is that f-ing balls wont sit where I squeeze them in the rack. Even just putting the balls in place leaves gaps between the balls. So I will give the Sardo a try but would like a used one if possible. The wife unit is alreay PO'ed at all the money I spend on pool!

PM if you have one please.

sardo rack

TJ,
I don't have one for you but wanted to let you know that we did not have to bang the balls into the table like mentioned elswhere and in the instructions. We marked the table with very small dots (black sharpy) and racked a few and were good to go. We did not use one of the stick on spots for the head ball. We marked that with a slightly bigger dot with the sharpy. Never had a loose rack since.

One of my many attempts at a perfect rack led me to eliminating the dot. Worked for a while then the front ball was being pounded so hard into the cloth from breaking(purpose of dot) that it made a slight divet. Eventually you'd have to make sure the front ball was always in it.

So I am back to contemplating a getting a Sardo once again. And besides I finally have the cloth I've wanted for a while and would hate to desicrate it with a maker.

But all in all you are happy with the Sardo?

The sharpy we used for the two marks at the back of the rack were with the ultra fine sharpy and just one dot each side which are hard to see unless right up on it. I agree that you could use the sardo without the head ball rack.


We love it. I have always tried and usually had very good success in a tight rack with standard wood racks. The problem we had was when people came over to play, they wanted to bang the headball for a tight rack or others just didn't give $hit and gave lousy racks. With the Sardo...it's hard not to give a good rack as long as it's aligned with the dots.

Best of luck
Burt.
