Summary: Perfect racks every time
Comment: The Sardo works as advertised. With any rack configuration (9-ball, One-Pocket, etc.) the balls stay tight and perfectly aligned. It takes a few minutes to set up by putting accuracy marks on the table cloth, but after that, the balls rack easily and quickly. Some purists have complained that the racks are "too perfect", that professionals soon learn how to hit the rack with too much consistency and that the outcomes are too predictable. I can see the merit in that argument but, even as a BCA Recognized Instructor, I still find every rack challenging. Great product and well made. Should last many years.

Summary: First, decide if you want to mark up your felt.
Comment: I wanted a rack similar to ones I had seen on pool tournaments on television. From the research I did, this seemed to be the rack for me, and wasn't too expensive. So I ordered the Sardo Tight Rack.
When I unboxed the product, it seemed lighter and more fragile than I'd imagined. Almost felt a little "cheap." However, I withheld judgment until I could get it home and try it out.
After getting the Tight Rack home, I discovered that to use the product, you must mark your pool table felt with a permanent marker and use those marks to align the rack properly. My roommate was less than thrilled to hear the prospect of his cherished table being marked up in order to use this contraption, so we decided to skip that step.
I can't say for sure if it was because we skipped the marking process or if it's because of the design of the rack, but it doesn't work as well as I had hoped. When racking 8-ball or 9-ball, the front ball tends to roll forward slightly after we "rack" with the Tight Rack. This is unfortunate, because obviously you can't get a good break if the front ball isn't racked perfectly.
I haven't found a product that looks like it will work better, so I can't recommend any other rack. Just know that you'll have to mark up your felt for this to work properly.

Take the guesswork out of racking balls for your 8-ball game with the Sardo Tight Rack. This unique invention quickly, easily and consistently racks balls perfectly and fairly each time. The directions are simple: you place the balls in the rack as directed, execute one quick downward motion and you have the tightest rack possible. This system comes with an easy to use template for marking placement dots on cloth just align the pointers on rear of rack with two dots on cloth surface to ensure the rack is squared and centered each and every time. What could be easier?
