In bars, everybody seems to have their own way of racking, but the World Standardized Rules for 8-ball are pretty clear. All you have to do to make a legal rack, is to have the 8-ball in the center and the back two corners have to be one stripe and one solid (BCA rule 4.3 for 8-ball). That's it. Anything else is just icing on the cake. Many players will alternate stripes and solids or place the one ball at the front, but it's only a matter of personal preference. Happy Holidays.

Basically the Lower number balls go in the front with the Black eight ball in the middle.At the peak of the triangle, place the 1 ball, next line place two striped balls. And then on every following lines, place stripe, solid, stripe, solid, etc. And of course, 8 ball goes in the middle.

if you are playing 8-ball the 8-ball goes in the middle and then the small balls are staggered with the big numbered balls around the rack. [big little big little] or [solid stripes solid stripes]When is the best time to open your pool in arkansas?
What i do is put the 1 ball at the top, then go solid-stripe, solid-stripe along the outside of the triangle. The 8-ball then goes in the middle.Try racking the whitedog way! 1 at the top. Counter-clockwise go 9, 2, 10, 3, 11, 4, 12, 13, 5, 6, 14. 8-ball in the middle and the 7 and 15 below it. This meets ALMOST everybody's ideas about racking; the 1 is the head ball, the 8 is in the middle, the balls alternate solids and stripes, except for the bottom right portion, b/c you want a solid on one corner and a stripe on the other.
Two neat things about this method; you always get the balls in the exact same position (no fumbling for 5 minutes trying to alternate solids/stripes), and the matching colors (each color of solid has a corresponding stripe with the same color) will be together.
