table:Brunswick Gold Crown 2. corner pockets measure 4.3 inches on the outside of the pockets.
Played three sets, I won 7-3/7-4/7-2, but I only managed to record the last two sets correctly.

Nice table... I love the way tight GC's play when done right. 3 straight wins is quite a feat on that table. Looking forward to the video
I tried again just now. I won the first 4 games,,,,,,,and then lost the next 4 and gave up!!
But I reset my camera to a lower resolution and it saved this as 1 video this time. The last time it split it into 2 videos,without my permission..Im not sure of whet length I can go to before it splits it again.
I will try again but that last episode ticked me off a bit!! 4-0 and fell apart!!

For better or for worst you have to stare him down and finish the set
I played him 5 straight races to 9 in November. He got me sooooo maddd! I couldn't quit I had to keep going. I finally stopped to eat. Lol
I'm finding that playing the ghost instead of practicing by just shooting racks has really upped my runout game and has helped me deal with pressure.
I had a leauge playoff match last night and needed a big win for our team against a player who had already crushed me earlier this season. This time though, I set the tone with 2 break and runs from the lag, then kept the pressure on with safeties and finished nearly every open rack and pretty much dominated the match. All thanks to the ghost!
(Going home for New Years and wont be able to make videos for a while, but will keep updating the thread, so keep 'em coming!)

Always liked your game. I know if you didn't become a lawyer that you could have gone pro, and I believe a top pro at that. Johnnyt
Awesome, OP updated!
I think your video qualifies as ghost abuse, you should be hearing from their ghost lawyer in a few days!

Very nice shooting on the 15 pack. I couldn't get the other two links. Johnnyt

Gerry, BieberLvr, I was wondering when you guys were going to post after seeing lots of your videos in other threads.
Thanks for the contributions! Gerry, I added a new section called the 9-ball ghost pro version with no BIH after the break. I'd really like to see some beat that!
Heck, any banger could put up a 15-pack if all they got were easy shots like that.
Seriously though, that was some beautifully boring 9-ball. Wish my ghost sessions were as drama-free. Gerry, am I right in seeing that you favor just-off-straight angles whenever possible, and favor firm stun or draw with little side spin? Do you use any outside if you don't need it for position?
On a side note: YouTube is clamping down on music in the background due to the RIAA vultures. I couldn't watch several of these videos "in my country" (US) on my iPhone due to Warner copyright bs. If you guys want your videos seen, especially on mobile, it's probably best to leave the music off.

Lol - yes, my sessions are not always that 'controlled'
I never want to be straight in as a general rule - it limits position routes significantly.
I also don't like rolling balls - they kick more and for me they are less predictable.
I will use some spin to counteract CIT and hold for position if needed.

Here is a set of 10 ball to add to the games.
From yesterday, balls weren't breaking well but I got him this time.
