2024 AZB Ghost Challenge - Official Thread

Heyyy! Finally beat the 10 ball ghost! 7-5.

I had a little time before I need to get ready for work tonight, so I played a set. Just happened to win. It was ugly, but I got there somehow. I did pattern rack and soft break though.

good win after rough start :)
 
I started getting a feel for how to hit that soft break to leave everything open around rack 4. That and the pattern helped a lot. Even with all that help, I still lost 5 games. 😂

I haven’t played any 10 ball for a long time. A couple nights ago I started playing some and my break is terrible. I plan on sticking with it until my break gets a little better. Maybe record a set when it gets a little better.

I found out that breaking 1/4 of the way over works best on my 10 ball break. I don’t break from there in any other game. I prefer to hit it with inside-not sure why. Gives a pretty good spread. And a look at the 1 ball an all right percent of the time. If that one isn’t working it’s usually just from the middle.😉

Took on the 8 ball pro God ghost tonight on a 7 footer. Went 2-7 3-7 and 2-7. Shouldve done better. Not too bad at a 25% B&R but made an 8on a bank and scratched once, hung an 8 and broke dry/scratched about 9 times. Will upload if need to for the record but it’s like 40min long. Oh and one run in the last set I must’ve made the 8 on the break and not realized so I spotted it at the end and made it. Honest mistake. Does that still count in the ghost challenge? Not that it was my best score.

7-1 vs BIH ghost 15 minute video
634 Fargo on my big pocket pro cut bar table
I measured from Point to Point with a micrometer it was 4.464 inches and the slate from points to where the ball drops is 1.8 inches

I’ve played on a lot of these pro cut 7’ tables with 4.5” pockets and have had the same result

Freshly cleaned balls and cloth (just a splash of spray silicone on the felt so they slide in) j/k 😊

Pocket speed and spin on the ball factor into how the pocket accepts the ball IMO
If more people enjoyed playing at that pace, I’d enjoy playing more.😉. Only watched some of it. But from what I saw-nice shooting. You might want to edit your post and put your score in there so that - I used to be rich - could list it for you easier.

Thanks Wolfy I put the score and I shoot at a pretty fast pace. That’s where I got the fast Freddy from. Lol. That was me trying to take my time.🤣

Another quick race to seven beating the ghost 7-1

Fast video 11 minutes 20 seconds

Good shooting all. We have 2 perfect scores in the 9 ball, and we finally can see that Woofy can play a little:)

First post updated.

634 Fargo

Beat the god ghost 7’ diamond pro pocket it took 12 minutes 37 seconds for the set

I broke the nine ball in on game four I believe which was a win because it went in the side but I took a free swing at the 1 ball lol

No matter table or pocket size. You can play! nice shooting!
 
Im going to the local hall today to try the ghost on a 7’ Diamond. I play pretty well on these tables. I’m going to try a ton of sets! I think I have a change to win one set. I’ll report back.

I’ve never tried it on a 7’. I did play the straight pool ghost on a 7’ Diamond years back, and my runs blew away my 9’ GC runs. I expect the same today:)

I definitely did better than the 9’. Managed to win one set 7-5. The houseman (my buddy) had to drag me away from the table as I wouldn’t quit.
