Rack•A•Shot® is a system designed to aid the pool player in sighting and aiming advanced pre-planned shots. Repeated use of the template allows the player to quickly experience and capture, though observation and touch, a wide variety of strokes and usages of English. Because of the ability to reiterate the shot set up, exactly as before, Rack•A•Shot becomes a link between the requirements of a shot and the mental capacity to execute a stroke successfully.
This product systematically directs a pocket billiards player into a mind-set that demands exactness. The stroke, or soul of a shot, that once was shrouded in vagueness, can now be mentally pinpointed and recreated with an exceptional amount of regularity.
In the beginning the Rack•A•Shot instruction manual gives the participant a logical approach to the study of cue ball travel–with the use of two simple shots and their variances, it shows a player how to stroke the cue ball to any position of the table.
The first complex shot (a shot that involves more than one object ball and requires the use of the Rack•A•Shot template) is the most difficult to sight and align–however, familiarization with the way the template is used is one of its main objectives. When all is done, the player is taken into a realm of the spectacular–six balls into six pockets with on stroke–which creates a chest-expanding desire to continue in the Rack•A•Shot system.
The succeeding shots gradually and systematically take the player from the visually spectacular to a dramatic, heart-felt, abstract form of the game.
Each shot in turn, requires the collective experience of the preceding shots for the unveiling of its profound qualities. The substance, or essence of each shot, is verbally portrayed in parabolic form in the Calendar Of Shots section on the front of the manual. The last two of the eighteen complex shots embody the whole of the Rack•A•Shot system. These shots are difficult to execute, but when success comes, the transformation into an above average pocket billiards player floods the persona. The exactness of Sighting, Aiming, English and Stroke required to complete the course, elevates ones conceptual abilities to that of an advanced player.
