What level am i at?

Just given the 13 ball ghost a shot after reading through this. If you did infact beat it I'm impressed/ jealous!
First effort and only effort was 9-7 to the ghost and I played well. Can't see what I could have done to improve it really. If you beat it occasionally you're a couple of speeds above me, easily. You should also be only looking to play tournaments such as the US Open. Anything with lesser players and you should be arrested for robbery.

I think its a great way to practice on your own, involves so much more concentration and cue ball control than 9 ball. much more need to be right side all the time.
How was your break? I find if I win, yes i am playing well but also i am often getting 3/4 sometimes 5 off the break.
Thanks for the post though as I take it you are not pro standard? If not and your very first attempt was just a 9-7 loss then i think some of the people who have posted in this thread should rethink their opinions.
A lot suggested top pro's only would only beat the ghost occassionly!
If beating the 13-ball ghost is not your normal level, and you mostly lose to the 13b ghost...
what ghost can you beat regularly? Do you know?
If you can beat the 9b ghost regularly (more than 50% in a race to, say, 9) then you'd be labelled
at least an A player.
If you can beat the 10b ghost that way, you'd be close to pro level.

I'm thinking my ghost plays better than your ghost!

You are shooting these 13 balls out in order right?
I really do hope you are being honest. Would love to see the video.
That is pretty funny.

I'm under the opinion, if you can run 13 balls in rotation starting with ball in hand, you would not be posting this unless you have a reason. Good players that can do this don't tell others, when someone does a ''selfie'' like this I tend to think I'm just gettin' stroked. :thumbup:
Tom, don't be such a hater. Why you be hatin'. You must be drinking the haterade...
Eric >but, Tom hit the nail on the head
He's not shooting the balls in order man, relax. Guy is a strong C+ and y'all bustin his chops.
No, I'm not pro standard and I have very little idea what standard I am. I just have Dr Daves 10 ball ghost to go off. Here its either this guys good, ill need a 3 game advantage or this guys crap I'm gunna push for even, but I don't mind giving up a few games.
The break was hit and miss. Mostly miss. Most balls I made was 3 or 4 but average was 2 I'd say and I even broke dry a few times. 15 ball ghost or 14.1 is my prefered practice. Never win a set against the 15 ball ghost but it put me in good stead for the 13 ball ghost. And yet I had no chance of beating it. Since tried it 2 more times and can't beat it. Most games out of the 2 sets I got was 5. Race to 9 is too much for me.
People on here are quite dubious of new comers who state good play. Without no way of knowing I have to take you on your word.
You might have stated it already but where are you from?
I have really only played the 9b, 10b and 13b ghost. beat the 9 ball regular and the 10 ball prob 50/50.
When i play the 13b ghost is when (sometimes) i play my best as there is so many shots you get into dead stroke and still mostly lose.
Im from the u.k
I have not tried 14b and 15b but imagine must be crazy! especially 15b.
with 13b i find the key is the very first shot, if that goes ok and break wasnt too ugly you have a chance. also if you get a decent chance you need to take it as there will be some racks you just cant win.
''A''.....................players don't describe the game is this manner....

If you ever want a match for a bob or two give me a shout.
Wanna play some? Sounds like we should be about even if you are telling the truth.

Coos Cues
Then it's time to put up or shut up. I will wager $100 payable immediately that you cannot produce a video of yourself beating the 13 ball ghost in a race to 9 in one weeks time.

First: Jack Daniels. Second: haterade.
Is that 100 in $, £ or €. Oh, one week ends November 11, 2013.
Clock starts ticking............. NOW.
