How Should You Rack Pool Balls. How to rack pool balls in a hexagonal rack. Place the racking triangle or diamond rack in position along the foot string of the table.
Align the apex (the first ball) with the center of the billiard. Another thing to consider is the edges. Place the one ball at the top of the triangle and the nine ball in the middle of the third row;
The ten ball is set in the triangle.
You will then move the triangle until it hits the pink ball spot. Place all the balls at random. Every other ball is then placed inside the triangle at random and the triangle is positioned so. The center of the first ball should be in the middle of the table, a quarter of its length.
