Thanks Nick; but in your defense (), I have improved my game quite a bit the last 2-3 years.Nice shooting Dr Dave. I apologize for thinking you couldn't play a couple of years ago. I'm happy I was proven otherwise
I definitely feel a little nervous with the pressure of the camera, knowing the video will be posted on the Internet for all to see for all eternity, but I think the nerves and pressure usually help me play better.To the members who have posted videos, what types of pressures/emotions do you feel?
I usually start the set feeling good, and if the set goes really bad, I start feeling sad. I feel I'm disappointing the forum by not putting up a good run.
Also, the sets I play can set my mood for the rest of the day. When I get a good ghost score (for me) I am feeling pretty good the rest of the day. When I get a really bad ghost score, I feel like crap. Even the girlfriend noticed the differences.
That particular shot was also coming across the line of the next shot, which reduces the margin for error in speed considerably. Regardless, I used way too much speed on that shot. I knew it as soon as I hit it, but I was still hoping that talking to the ball would slow it down (funny how that never works, but we do it anyway).Dr Dave, in your 7-2 video, you had a shot you overhit, and you were heard on the mic saying something like "stop-stop-stop". (I'm going from memory). It was a 2 rail out of the corner to short of center table and the CB went very much further on the correct line.
I had this same shot a few times, and did the same thing. I think there is something deceiving about that particular angle and spin that makes the CB fly out of the corner.
Dave,Thanks Colin! That means a lot to me coming from you.
Cheers,
Dave
Also many thanks for the thread! There are a few links of the player's [other] scores that go to one of my videos. I suspect a copy/paste error.

I played the American rotation ghost for the first time last night and lost the very first set 15-105! :banghead: I played six sets total and scored in the 50s three times. The best I could muster last night was this one...
55-105L https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppX-Wglt4FM
Same table. 9' Diamond, 4.5" pockets.

I feel your pain lol I lost about 10x before beating that sucka (that's right Gerry
You had some good spreads but might make it a little better with a tight rack and taking a little speed off the break?
Off topic and I don't think I've ever got this impression before which is very strange? While watching the video I felt that you and I think and play a lot alike? Tough to explain why but it was a funny feeling I got and don't ever recall having it before. I know we have the frustrated head hanging part down cold lol
Good shooting and its well within your grasp.You may never want to play the 9 or 10B ghost again lol
Lol - nice. What was the score? I am chasing now?
