The idea is to use a consistent and specific order when racking the balls for 8-ball pool to improve game tracking and post-game analysis. By placing the balls in a predefined arrangement, players can take pictures of the game at any stage and easily analyze the ball positions and movements.
The key
points of this setup are:
The 8 ball remains in the center, as per standard rules.
Solids and stripes are balanced, with clear rules for the placement of each ball.
Benefits:
Consistency: Every game starts with the same arrangement, making it easier to compare shots and patterns across multiple games.
Photo Analysis: By using consistent photos after breaks or during gameplay, you can track how the balls spread, which ones were pocketed, and analyze strategies more effectively.
Data Collection: This setup allows players to collect useful data about breaks, ball distributions, and even shot probabilities, improving decision-making over time.
This setup could be particularly useful for those who like to review their games, improve their skills, or even study professional play.

Laborious, fussy and very limited in its appeal; excellent half-baking! [+] |

That link of a rack bugs me though. No two solid or striped balls should be paired around the edge of the rack. |
