Racking pool is an essential skill for any pool player. It is the process of arranging the balls on the table in a specific pattern before the start of the game. The most common racking pattern is the triangle rack, which is used in eight-ball, nine-ball, and ten-ball.
To rack the balls correctly, you will need a triangle rack. Place the rack on the table and align it with the foot spot. Then, place the balls in the rack, starting with the front ball. The front ball is the ball that is closest to the foot spot. The other balls should be placed in the rack in a staggered pattern, with each ball touching two other balls.
