Sardo Tight Rack Question:?
962337
First of all, I want to say that I own a M-3000 model Sardo rack.  I bought one because I thought that it would be something special because, hey, that's what the pro's use, right?  I can't really speak for the other models, but I will throw in my two cents on the whole issue of the Sardo rack.  Have you ever noticed that when they play 9-ball on TV, they don't put the apex ball on the foot spot as in BCA rules?  They acutally put the 9-ball on the foot spot.  Do you want to know why?  We have the Sardo rack to thank for that.  You see, the Sardo rack does do exactly what it claims to do.  Not only do you get a perfectly tight rack every time, you get the "exact same rack" every time.  It gets to the point where you can predict with frightening accuracy where the balls will go on the break.  It got to the point where professional players were making the 9-ball on the break far too often.  So, to compensate for this, they moved the entire rack forward and now they put the 9-ball on the foot spot.  This is why players today break from the side as opposed to more straight on.  They are now playing for the 1-ball in one of the side pockets.  They couldn't do that with the traditional racking position.  My big problem with the Sardo rack, is that it doesn't provide a more random result with the break.  It's one thing to play cue ball position on the break.  I'm all for that, but it's kind of a crutch to have the balls always move in the some position every time you break.  Where's the variety in that?  You need to be able to deal with all types of layouts that come from open break shots.  It's entirely possible to have a good tight rack without having a carbon copy every time you break.  Incidentally, my hats off to you for your dedication to the best game I've ever played.  It does my heart good to hear that there are people out there who are knowledgeable and who share my passion for pool.  Best of luck in your decision.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

I am not sure but it sounds like there is something blocking the feed rollers, before you open it to find the trouble turn it upside down and smack it a couple times to see if anything drops out from inside....

hello friend!\n\nuse a non-flexible thread. tie a simple knot first. roll the thread at the balloon stout for 3 times. then again tie a knot. again roll it for 3 times and then tie two knots. trust me! this would work! it wont leak a bit even if u leave it for a night!!!\nhappy fighting!!

It is tuff to say. When I did my first tri I borrowed one. I finally baught one and I believe it is an orca. I would go to a tri shop and just ask. Most of those people have been doing tri's for a long time and usually know what is best.

Have you thought of just going down to an Army Surplus Store and picking up a footlocker? They are made of wood with steel re-enforced corners, and have a tray insert. With a minimal amount of fuss, you can customize one to fit your needs.\n\n-SD-

Its a little bit more dificult than a regular rail. You have to adjust your weight to compensate for the kinks. It sounds difficult but you do it so fast that you dont even think about it. Go and practice and have some fun.

A good question...that is what they made racks for...some have been known to put on 6" when using these things. For more information, see Spanish Inquisition.

Having worked in a strict environment, the store I worked, had a special stock rack in storage.  When there were enough of a similar item, it was repackaged and sent back to the manufacturer, for either a replacement or a refund.  That is why you see a lot of RA #'s (Return Authorization Numbers) on a lot of packages shipped through UPS and Federal Express.  No store that has good ethics will resell a product, that is even in suspect condition, they will always send it back....

call basspro or cabelas and they'll send you one.  A better idea would be to pick up a current equipment guide and find out the scoop behind the products.

First go to the instruction sheet that came with your rack. Get the correct measurements(important!), take a tape measure and mark those points, 2nd measure your load bars length, 3rd measure the points mark M1,M2,M3 this give you the correct fitting to the roof. Last place the mounts up and turn the screws for tightness. And don't forget to install the lock units because YOU NEED LOCKS on the rack for safety and security. As a owner of a Q Tower System one last thing after it's up and on pull on the clips with the doors closed. If they move, retighten the screws. \nP.S. What are you carrying on the roof because some roofs have a load limit.
