Is that a realistic game situation? You miss and the ghost gets out. Sure, if its an open table with no clusters but isn't it better to play the table and learn what safety is in order, learn your kicks, and play the balls.

It is a gambling proposition but its also a training technique. We are kinda getting hung up on exact terms here. I've never been formally taught to "play the ghost" or given a set of rules. I just play like I am playing another player and using another stick helps to keep the players seperate.

Maybe it's not everyones normal definition for "playing the ghost" but it is mine. When I play the ghost I am in an actual game situation. I think my definition of the "playing the ghost" is more like actually playing a ghost. Taking ball and hand and trying to run out should be called "ball...

I have played the ghost in many of the games to improve my play but recently I found something that has really helped me and wanted to share it with everyone. Play with another pool stick when you are playing as the ghost. So when its your turn you play with your normal cue and when its the...

It almost seems like the cue ball gets out of the way of the cue faster. I can elevate higher and get the cue ball on a more vertical trajectory. I been getting 3 on the break on a very regular basis at work 7footer, at home 8foot crap dead rail slow table, and on simonis on a 9footer at my...

I bought a Black phenolic tip off ebay. Just do an ebay search for phenolic tip and it should come up. I had the guy that usually does my regular tips put on the phenolic tip and he did an excellent job. I was in awe when he got done polishing it up on the lathe. I had to hit a few balls...

Great Web site Jen. Very well designed. If you would like to see the exact opposite of your your well styled site, check out mine www.christopheradams.com working on the content but art is not my strong point :). Like the Billiard Bling Section, very creative way to show your wins. I...

I just got my phenolic tip on yesterday and the very first break shot on my home table, I got 4 on the break. Its a slow table with dead cushions. I love the way it breaks and jumps. Check out my web site to view the videos.www.christopheradams.com I posted 2 break videos and one jump shot...

Yes it is, Either a member on this forum, Ip, or ccb originally posted it on one of my earlier posts asking for pool video links. Just figured it would be good to put them all in one place. I found another site: http://poollogics.port5.com/videos/gamespy/tournaments.htm That seems to have a...

Thanks for all the tips. I did the right thing and brought it to a quailified tip installer. It's GREAT!!! I love it. I'll try to post some pictures of this masterpiece. I hit a few balls at the place I got it installed and really liked it. I'm gonna break some racks tonight.

I'm considering putting the phenolic tip/ferrule(all one piece on myself or have it done by my pool tip guy, Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to properly replace a ferrule and especially a phenolic tip/ferule. It seems easy but want to make sure I do it right and won't do...

Yeah I know the server is the worst. Its a free sever and I shrunk the vid quality as low as I could without the video being too choppy.

I was playing pretty bad, working on a lot of stuff that day but I brought the digital vid camera into friendly Bowl. Check out www.christopheradams.com to check out the videos. Also posted some links to pool video web sites that I got from my post I did asking for sites. Listen carefully...

You'll eat those words when someone gets a dog running a rack of nine ball on video and posts it!

Anyone got any videos of dogs playing pool? After seeing the below video, I would not be too surprized :).Dog Skate boarding

I am gutting the second floor of my house so I can fit a 9footer. I am trying to decide whether to buy a brand new table and maybe have to settle for a little less quaility and maybe not get simonis on it, or go for a used table and get it professonally installed and have it recovered with...

Anyone know some resources for pool Ebooks? I like to read them on my laptop when traveling. Can you post some free, or good pay for ebook resources here? I have the Monks ebooks already.

Thanks for the response Jen. I would really love to try Snooker and 3 cushion billards some day. I also have been trying to mix up the games I play, Stright pool, one pocket. Played bank pool a few times but I'm terrible, maybe I should be playing that exclusively :). Thanks again and good...

Hello Jen. Could you give me a quick summary of the types of things you practice the most. Do you mostly "play the ghost" in 9-ball and other games or do you do more drills. Also could you comment on how much practice time you put in per day. Do you generally work on things that are giving...

One tip in calling inside pool is to press "0" or other ext when you get an answering machine. It will redial the number and start ringing again. This tip has saved me much frustration in waiting for IP to call me back(they never have). Another tip is to call the main number and go through...
