Frame used to rack the red balls before breaking off in snooker (8)

I believe the answer is:

triangle

(Other definitions for triangle that I've seen before include "Gable shape -- 1 across (anag)" , "Polygon, could be isosceles" , "It could be eternal" , "complex romantic situation?" , "Three-sided shape" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
