Best Answer

A tight rack transfers the energy of the cue ball through the entire rack immediately, while a loose rack has gaps that must be filled from the ball just struck in front of it, creating more friction and therefor losing more energy. For the best spread on a break, make sure all the balls are touching.

If the other player thinks the rack is not tight, he/she is allowed under the rules to demand a re-rack.

What are the dimensions of a billiards rack?

The dimensions are slightly different for pool ball racks based on manufacturer, material, and type of pool ball rack. The inside dimensions are between 11 1/2 to 11 3/4 inches on each side. The major exception to this is the SARDO Tight Rack - this rack which provides for exact ball placement with a tight rack not relying on the player, is larger than any other rack because it forces the balls together tightly.
