It is a combination shot between the lowest and the highest ball, resulting in the dropping in of all the rest of the balls with a 2000 point bonus per ball and other bonuses. Needless to say the number 1 and number 9 ball combinations gives the highest score. Strategy will be ball placement rather than just accurate shots. Sometimes it is better to drop a low ball rather then to keep losing time chasing it around the table. Hope this helps..Michael
The head string in a pool is located at the opposite end of the rack from where the cue ball is placed for the break shot.
The dimensions are slightly different for pool ball racks based on manufacturer, material, and type of pool ball rack. The inside dimensions are between 11 1/2 to 11 3/4 inches on each side. The major exception to this is the SARDO Tight Rack - this rack which provides for exact ball placement with a tight rack not relying on the player, is larger than any other rack because it forces the balls together tightly.
31.2mph. The break was not made by a pool player but was practiced by a martial arts master for the record. He accelerated the pool cue from a standstill to strike the cue ball and it travelled at 31.2mph to the object ball at the front of the rack. This is 45.7 feet per second, or, 549 inches per second.
Yes. 8-Ball was a brilliant engineer with an advanced degree in engineering, who created a four-man hovercraft in the shape of pool rack. lol.
by using a pool triangle rack
This is not possible in any common game of pool. Only Straight Pool allows the balls to be placed in nearly any position to accomplish this - no other common pool game allows placing the balls in that order. The middle of the rack is in between the second and third row of balls. It appears what is being asked is what ball will be in the 5th ball position, with one ball to left and one ball to the right if all the balls are arranged lowest to highest. This would be the 5 ball. However, Straight Pool requires that the 1 ball and the 5 ball be placed in the corners. Therefore, no pool game allows the balls to be placed in the way required - so, any ball may be in the "middle" position depending upon the game of pool being played.
There is no average game rack - There are racks for 7 balls, 9 balls, 15 balls, and 21 balls. The most common rack is the 15 ball rack. That may make it average. The 15 ball rack averages 11 1/2 inches per side.
The proper way to lift a bowling ball from the rack is to use both hands, placing one hand on each side of the ball and lifting without straining your back.
Depending upon the game, the rack method is different, and the rules being played can also change the required rack. For 8 ball, the 8 ball goes in the, and under APA rues, no other balls matter, but under BCA Rules, the back corners must be 1 solid and 1 stripe.
not sure when this was posted but a 98 does not have a rack it has a recirculating ball steering box
A tight rack transfers the energy of the cue ball through the entire rack immediately, while a loose rack has gaps that must be filled from the ball just struck in front of it, creating more friction and therefor losing more energy. For the best spread on a break, make sure all the balls are touching. If the other player thinks the rack is not tight, he/she is allowed under the rules to demand a re-rack.
In pool games, a triangle is a rack used to organize and arrange the billiard balls at the beginning of a game. It typically holds 15 balls in a triangular formation for games like eight-ball and nine-ball. The triangle ensures that the balls are tightly packed, allowing for a fair break shot at the start of the game. After the break, the triangle is removed to allow for gameplay.
