Skill Level

This rack allows you to position 15 pool balls (coloured, numbered, solid, or striped) with a 57.2 mm diameter.
It can also be used on the BT 700 US pool table and all other standard pool tables.

Which balls can you use with this rack?

This rack is not designed for positioning balls smaller than 57.2 mm, such as English billiards balls (50.8 mm), which are used on the BT 700 UK pool table. We also do not recommend this rack for balls used on the BT 100 pool table or the BT 500 fold-down table (44 mm). This rack is too big to produce a tight rack

Not suitable with

There are different games of pool: 8-ball (the most popular), 9-ball, 10-ball, and straight pool. 

For 8-ball, place the 8-ball at the centre and make sure the two balls at the bottom corners are not the same type: solid or striped (which goes where doesn’t matter).
The 12 remaining balls can be positioned anywhere (even the one at the head of the rack).

How to position your pool balls for 8-ball

In 9-ball, as the name indicates, you play with the balls numbered 1 to 9.
The balls should be positioned in a diamond shape. Place the 9-ball at the centre and the 1-ball at the head of the diamond. The remaining balls can be positioned anywhere.

In 10-ball, you play with the balls numbered 1 through 10. Place the 10-ball at the centre and the 1-ball at the head of the rack. The others can be positioned anywhere.

How to rack balls for 9-ball and 10-ball

In pool, once the balls are placed in the rack, the ball at the head of the rack should be at the intersection of the 2 diagonals formed by the 4 first pockets. Now it’s time to break!
