A billiard triangle (rack) sets the balls tightly and accurately at the start of the game — a clean rack is essential for a good break. The SportGoods catalog carries triangles and diamond racks for different games and ball sizes. Prices start from 15₾.
Types: triangle vs diamond
- Triangle — the standard shape for racking 15 balls: American pool (8-ball), Russian billiards, snooker.
- Diamond rack — for 9-ball pool, where the balls are racked in a diamond shape.

Size by ball
The rack must match the ball diameter so the balls sit tightly:
| Game | Ball size | Rack |
|---|---|---|
| American pool | 57.2 mm | Triangle (15) / Diamond (9) |
| Russian billiards | 68 mm | Triangle (15), larger |
| Snooker | 52.5 mm | Triangle (15 reds) |
Material
Wood racks (classic, sturdy, won't damage the balls) and plastic racks (light, affordable) are the common options. A quality rack has true geometry — which gives a tight, accurate rack.
How to choose
- Game type: 8-ball/Russian/snooker — triangle; 9-ball — diamond.
- Ball size: match the rack to your ball diameter (57.2/68/52.5 mm).
- Material: wood — durable and classic; plastic — cheap and light.
