your thoughts on joe tuckers rack secrets.

Though you shouldnt watch the video to learn to sh*track people honestly. If someone intentionally does it to me I'll call them out on it too...

I've had someone even put the balls in the same order as joe tucker says AND still shit racks me like I cant figure out it's on purpose.

I figure at least if you're going to play dumb about doing it to not arrange the balls in a specific order every time. some people are rather amusing.

I tried this a lot at home and it does work. 90% of the time I can come pretty close to making a ball and made a ball 75% of the time. Most people in my area don?t believe it when I try to tell them even if I am making balls on them. O well their loss right? It is the best thing I have seen for 9 ball and I can?t tell you how many pros that don?t even know about it. I had 10 or 15 of them come by my booth at the DCC and told them about it. Bob Henning was selling them in the booth beside me and I think a sold a few for him. I would rack the balls and show people on the table we had sit up in our room there. Again thanks Joe!
 
Just to add some credit to the DVD, shortly after I learned Joe's secrets I was in out local room and two very strong players were playing barbox 9 ball to get ready for a tournament. I watched them play for about an hour then told them they needed to learn how to rack or they will get killed at the event. Both players are very accomplished locally and started in on me about telling them how to improve their games.

I simply said, ok, either of your want to race to 7 for $100 with me on the barbox 9 ball....but before you answer (they are my friends after all) I want to show you something, I proceeded to rack the balls and 7 breaks in a row deposited (Wych tribute) the wing ball and successfully played shape on the 1 ball. Then I snapped in back to back 9's just to prove the point.

In short, the match was then declined by both and now both have learned the secrets of the rack.

Good thing I like those guys. ;)
 
On some tables it's just very very difficult to get a perfect rack. In that case it's very helpful to know how to break best despite the gaps. Joe Tucker is a great guy and his material is very useful.
 
it's quite amazing actually, the first time i watched the nine ball segment i was in awe. and also, the reason you will find so few people, if any, doubting what he is teaching is because it's pure logic and common sense. watch the dvd and it's impossible to argue with what he says.
 
I bought the book on one of my first trips back to NY after moving to South Carolina. I don't have the DVD, though I would like to get it sometime when I have more disposable income:( The book was well worth the money I spent on it, though. I'd reccommend either to anyone.
