Sighting, aiming, finding reference points, figuring out puzzling factors, and experiencing the shots tactually are the greatest asset of going through the RACK-A-SHOT system.

In the beginning, the template will seem cumbersome. Relax. Persevere. After you work the first shot a couple of times, handling the template will be a breeze.

You’ll want to know that there will be no more than normal wear on the felt. The template fits comfortably over the balls and over the rails when on the balls (sticker side up). This allows the balls to be rolled around the table with ease.

The shots will progress in difficulty of execution (none too hard for the average player). Just keep racking and shooting, you will begin to visualize and feel the exactness needed for the success of each shot. When the shots are made, program those feelings of exactness into your mind. Remember them in a tactile way, as a response to the stimulation of the sense of touch. Use them in game play. Each will become another chord in your music of the spheres.

And, while you’re cultivating several different and distinct strokes, the payoff will be a succession of shots that will amaze your neighbors. I’ll play the seven ball toward me in the corner. Impossible? “I’ll bet you millions of milliards”.
