This overhead illustration shows a standard 8-ball rack with the 8-ball centered in the third row, solid and striped balls alternating around it, and the cue ball placed behind the head string. A magenta aiming line extends from the cue ball to the apex ball, demonstrating ideal break alignment for maximum spread and pocketing potential. The green felt, purple rails, and corner pockets are rendered in clean vector style for clarity.
