BreakRAK

[Jene Hayes]

I saw an ad in the current issue for BreakRAK. This device supposedly allows an individual to practice breaks without having to rerack the balls.
My questions are:
1. Does this thing do what it says it will do?
2. How effective is it as a practice device?
3. What is the price range?
4. Do you plan to carry this item?

Thanks

Even though this reply is a little late. If you dont want to rack up the balls every time DONT. The hardest thing about breaking is hitting the exact spot on the cue ball and on the object ball your aiming at. Get better at hitting hard at the same spot and you will break better. Just a suggestion but put something on the table like a pillow, anything that will catch the ball and then practice hitting the same spot hitting the ball hard. Use a stipe ball so you can see where you hit the ball and obviously Make sure the stick is chalked up good so you can see the evidence.
