The cue ball never goes into the triangle. It sits on the sidelines, waiting for its big moment. Treat it with respect.
Place it at the other end of the table while you rack. Don’t let it roll around. A wandering cue ball is a distraction, like a bored dog.
Remember: The cue ball is not a color ball. It’s the white sheep of the family. It has no stripes or solids. It’s pure, and it’s your weapon.
So there it is. You now know the secret art of setting up pool table balls. It’s simple, it’s ritualistic, and it’s oddly satisfying. Go rack up some fun.
And if someone complains about your rack? Hand them the triangle and say, “Show me how it’s done, champ.” They’ll probably mess it up too.
