That room IS a little tight! At least you have a nice set of balls.
A rare 7-0 win. BIH version. Phone was shut off mid match due to storage. Video shows 4 1/2 racks. Quite a bit upset as the complete video would've served as a reminder of success after my recent efforts during practice.
GC3. 4.25" corners, 4.75" sides.

I've noticed lately that the cue ball is jumping up more and more on 9 and 10 ball break.
There is a crater in spot. If I move the rack in front of or behind the crater in spot the cue ball hop is nowhere near as bad.
The crater is seems pretty deep to me. Would your best guess be felt or slate issue?
Realkingcobra told me there is no way it could be the slate. He knows waaayyy more about diamond tables than I do but it still bothers me. Especially when breaking 10 ball.
Any of you guys experience same?

I can only speak for myself but it’s not super easy for me. I lose a lot of sets.
I didn’t play the ghost much until these threads were started, but I do think it’s a good exercise for offensive, runout practice. I don’t feel like it’s very realistic though, since you end up opting for a lot of low percentage options that you normally might not go for just for the sake of getting out.
Beyond that, it gives me something to do and try to improve on since I don’t get out of the house and compete much anymore. I have fun with it and I enjoy watching everyone else’s sets too. It would be nice if more AZers would participate, but it is what it is.
Here is a 10-ball ghost race:

Got out of line a few times but overcame most of it. The two losses I had was due mostly to raising up on shot.
BTW, I just bought a new recorder so I am just learning how to operate it. A friend that knows a lot about cameras (and pool) will be giving me some help with the recording angles of camera and picture quality etc....

Nice match!
You took over my score..
I have been busy and playing only tournaments. Won some and most of I placed high. 8-ball Finnish Champs i lost two matches without missing a ball. One was 0-7 vs. Petri Makkonen(Runner up in 8-ball series grande final).
Alternative break. He ran out all of his breaks and I did break dry 3 times with nice break. Duh happens.
Petri came 2nd in the end and second match opponent whom I lost end up winning tournament. I was tied 17th. from 108 players.
I also had food poisoning and it flamed my Rheumatism. So My back been really bad and had to quit practice for some time.
Now I start to feel okay again and hoping to get proper practice soon.
