Variations on "Playing the Ghost"

There is are multiple benefits of playing a harder game in training though.

Playing 12 or 15 ball rotation means you have to rack a lot less and eventually you get down to 9 and 6 anyway, right?😀

But for actual useable benefits, you'll learn to play position better, especially those shots where you get on a ball in awkward positions.
Breaking up clusters or clearing lanes for later use is another.

But the best? When you go play 9/10b that matters, there's a lot of easier there.
I like this idea. You are right, if you practice with 12 then playing with 9 should look easier.

Hey that's pretty fun. I started at 8, got through 9 and 10 and stopped; seemed easier after a few tries. The break is important. I'll continue later, maybe over the weekend.
The rack is random? (w/one in front.) And the break doesn't count as 1 stroke?
Not sure about the ratings; I don't have a real fargo but play at about 600 (well I like to think I do.)

BTW, you've got a typo in the PDF, should be 30 strokes here:
10. 10 balls in 20 strokes from 10-ball rack – mid advanced (B)
