2015 AZB Ghost Challenge - Official Thread

Merry Christmas AZ. I was going to post a video of me playing the 15 ghost, 5 ahead, 8 footer, but don't know how.
 
I have a crappy set on an 8' bar table. I won 9-5 I think. I'll try to upload it. Wish I had a better one to upload.

This is a fun idea though!

Also, for people making videos, I recommend putting coins under the rail at the far end of the table to keep score, both for yourself and so the people at home can follow along. It will also stem the temptation to take a long, continous video and just cut out a section where you played well and beat the ghost.

Would love to see some 10 ball action as well, so keep 'em coming guys!:thumbup:

No such thing as a crappy set!

Not sure if branpureza is still on here but he's a lefty that can flat out play... There was a link of him roasting the 10 ball ghost on a diamond... like 11-3 or 11-4...


There was also a guy, gerry williams I think... That was beating the ghost pretty bad on video...


Would be awesome if u guys could join the thread...

I would like to see some american rotation videos too...
 
I'm in but I only play 8ball I'm not a huge fan of 9ball, if I can find an hour or so to play, what shall the race be?
 
7-2 vs 9 ball ghost

Missed a combo and made one position error...

Pretty good tempo, set is less than 20 min, including racking...

Table - 4.5 x 9 Olhausen/ 860 simonis/accufast rails/shimmed pockets

Breaker/Player - W2W Predator Sneaky w/uniloc original 314..

CJ vs Earl at Sands in background , Pretty Boy Floyd and Diamond Bill in the booth...



P.S. My buddy that was in the video quit smoking...

Good shooting brother. I actually shoot with a Predator Sneaky as well with an original 314, and I'm left handed as well. I like your tempo and laid back style, you made it look real easy. Merry Christmas

Newsflash: I wouldn't bet that's water's wet against you. Crazy-smooth player.

Got any tournament footage of you? You need to get out and make yourself known. If I were that good, I'd be cross-crossing the country and woofing at SVB.

Not to take anything away from him, (and I'm sure he will agree with me) but taking ball in hand after the break is huge. There are quite a few pros/very strong AAA players who beat the ghost without taking BIH after the break. Now that is very strong...

The guy shoots great, and I wish I played as well as him, but lets not get carried away about woofing at SVB just quite yet ;)

Playing the 8-ball ghost, I'd say you could squeeze in a couple races to 7 (depends on how fast you play though) in an hour. Also I think with 8-ball, you probably don't need to take ball in hand after the break, but it's up to you.

Yeah, I think for the members who are pretty much a lock to beat the ghost (and I think we've already seen a few), we'll add a new challenge section where you play without ball in hand and scratches on the break are a loss. We'll call it "The 9-Ball Ghost Challenge of Death" (spoken in a deep movie-preview guy voice) or something cheesy like that.

So get off your keyboards, perfect your break, and bring it if you can!

Nice I like it! I'll post a vid of me getting crushed by the 9 ball ghost when I get some free time
