Product description

About this product

A PVC triangle rack measuring 26.4 cm, in white or black.

The one thing that matters on a rack is that it fits the balls tightly. When the cue ball hits the pack, energy travels from ball to ball through the points where they touch – and any ball not in contact with its neighbours is a gap where that transfer stops. A rack even slightly too large for the balls leaves several such gaps, and the result is a break that feels dead however hard it is struck. Players blame their technique; it is almost always the rack.

Ball sizes vary by game – American pool is 57.2 mm, snooker 52.5 mm and British pub pool 50.8 mm – and rack sizes are quoted in different ways by different makers. Rather than have you work it out from a number, tell us what your table and balls are and we will confirm this rack fits before you order. It takes a minute and it avoids a rack that does not close.

PVC is the practical material here. It will not warp in humidity the way a wooden rack in a coastal house can, and it costs little enough that replacing a cracked one is a non-event.

Racking properly: apex ball on the foot spot, push the balls up into the apex so every one touches its neighbours, then lift the triangle straight up rather than sliding it off. Sliding drags the pack apart and undoes the tight rack you just made.

Questions

Good to know

Why does rack size matter?

Because the triangle has to fit the balls tightly enough that they touch each other. A rack that is too large leaves gaps, and a rack with gaps produces a loose break - the balls absorb the energy rather than spreading. A rack too small will not close at all.

Which rack fits my balls?

Match the rack to the ball size your table uses. American pool balls are 57.2 mm, British pub pool 50.8 mm and snooker 52.5 mm. If you are unsure, measure a ball and tell us - we will match the rack rather than have you guess.

How should I rack properly?

Position the triangle so the apex ball sits on the foot spot, push the balls up into the apex so every ball touches its neighbours, then lift the triangle straight up rather than sliding it. A tight rack is what makes a break spread; a loose one is why breaks feel dead.

PVC or wood?

PVC is lighter, cheaper and will not warp in humidity, which here is a genuine advantage. Wood looks better on a good table and feels more substantial, but it can move in damp conditions. Both rack balls identically when they fit.

Why does my break feel weak?

Nine times out of ten it is the rack rather than the break. If the balls are not touching each other when the triangle comes off, the energy stops at the first gap. Push the balls up into the apex before you lift.

Does a rack wear out?

Plastic racks crack eventually, usually at a corner, and once they do the balls will not sit tight. Wooden racks split along the grain. Either way a rack that no longer holds the balls in contact should be replaced - it is a cheap part that affects every frame.

What are the standard ball sizes?

Three sets in common use. American pool uses 57.2 mm (2.25 in) balls. British pub pool uses 50.8 mm (2 in). Snooker uses 52.5 mm. They are not interchangeable - the pockets, the rack and the table are all built around one size, and a set of the wrong balls will not rack or pot properly.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and send nationwide to Arusha, Moshi, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond by courier. A table is a heavy two-person item, so tell us when you order and we will arrange the right transport and talk through access.
