Is it a better idea to make a ball and get a poor spread?
Regardless, the purpose of playing the ghost has to do with running balls and position play. It has little to nothing to do with the break...
If you can't consistently beat the ghost playing BIH, there's no reason other than unfounded arrogance to consider anything tougher.
Hell, until you can do the same with a 6 ball ghost, I wouldn't recommend playing the 9 ball.
Screwing up harder stuff doesn't make you better...
The other thing I thought was a lack of random oscillation. The balls seemed to spin on one axis the entire time.
I could be completely wrong, but that was my impression...
There's actually a mathematical formula for determining the correct number of cues for you,..
n+1=x
Where n is your current number of cues and x is your ideal number.

You just had to go there, didn't you?! 😑😂
Were told the end of October. Then schedule the install...
So, what, maybe another 4 weeks or so?
Order was placed April 14th. Call it 7 months...
I went with the buy once, cry once philosophy. Just got my diamond.
The thing is a beast. We're going to put a cushion on it and use it as additional seating in our smallish pool room too.

Maybe I'm the exception here, but absent gapping the rack in 9-ball, the people I tend to play aren't at the level that I worry a lot about how they rack the balls...
One thing to consider, if you're dead set on breaking with the cue you might want to avoid a kielwood shaft. From Richard Hsu himself, due to the process of creating them they tend to be a little more brittle and could be damaged by continuous breaking...
