Roll-A-Rack, a patented product, is a very easy to use, extremely efficient, American made product. The following instructions are the best way to get the most benefit from your Roll-A-Rack in terms of tight racks and reducing normal wear and tear areas caused by standard triangle friction.
1). Place balls in the Roll-A-Rack (you knew that one already didn't you?)
2). You will notice that the Roll-A-Rack is a little generous in size. The back of the rack does not touch the balls, allowing the racker the ability to put fingers from both hands between the balls and the back of the rack. Use the fingers from both hands to push the back row of balls and the rack at the same time. Use a back and forth motion to get your rack as tight as you want.
3). When you have your rack where you want it, push/roll only the Roll-A-Rack forward a little. Then lift the rack over the balls. When done correctly the Roll-A-Rack together puts the racker in control of the racking process
4). When racking the balls use as little top pressure on the Roll-A-Rack as possible. Push and pull from the back and sides of the rack, rather than putting pressure on top will insure that the bearings roll freely over the cloth to reduce wear.
5). Your Roll-A-Rack will rack balls tighter and more efficiently than any rack on the market. The condition of your pools balls is also very important in obtaining a tight rack. Some sets of balls are rounder than others. For example, an old set of balls that have been used for several years will not be as round and uniform as a new set off the dealers shelf. This means the old balls will not rack as tightly as a high quality new set. See your favorite billiard dealer for information on balls.
Experiment with your Roll-A-Rack. When used according to these instructions your Roll-A-Rack will give you many years of tight, efficient, cloth saving racks.
Helpful Hint: When using Roll-A-Rack use as little top pressure as possible, (see #3) Using excessive pressure may leave bearing lines. Should you notice bearing lines, simply use less pressure. If bearing lines show up, a damp, luke warm towel wiped over the area or felt cleaner should eliminate lines with early detection. Brush cloth.
