I am not sure what problem it is trying to solve. Just another gimmick like sardo in my eyes...

Loose, "dead" racks from triangles. 2. No crushing cloth to make divots like tapping mats. 3. Speeds up the slow racking procedure.

Matt
Thats not a problem, you can used this on a tapped table. We have been doing this at Leeds and Barnsley. Very, very good product.

If it gives a tight rack and gives consistent tight racks, its a great product

I've not seen this before so I watched the video on you tube - When they set up for 9 ball and the guy breaks, the 9 ball tracks straight toward the corner bag but gets kicked at the last to prevent a golden break.
Plenty of people here who's opinions I respect but that's not a great advert in my book as it shows that it wasn't a decent rack! - Just my opinion on what I watched though!

Seems great to use much better then any other rack, however will we see it in the GB9 or any other professional tournaments, will it catch on or is it another must have pool toy.

I've heard it CAN affect an extremely slow rolling ball, much like the divots do from tapping, but of course quite often the Magic Ball Rack can be removed after the break and there is no permanent damage to the expensive cloth.
They've used a similar device in Japanese televised tournaments for quite some time too.
