Fatboys rules
when i play the 6 ball ghost I rack the normal 6 ball triangle and take BIH aftere I smash them, and run out or lose, for 7 ball I break the 6 and spot the 7th ball in the middle of the table and take BIH and run out out, For 8 ball I break the 6 balls and spot the 7 the in the middle and the 8 th ball on the foot spot. For 9 ball I rack the full rack and take BIH and run out, no hooks, if I miss I lose simple as that. I spot the balls in the middle on the 7 and foot spot on the 8 ball ghost because that way they are in the middle of the table and I should get shape.
I do make an effort to squat the rock even though I get bIh sometimes I dont take it when I dont need it. Its stupid to just smash the balls being careless, every shot counts. I dont play 10 ball ghost because I cant beat it, I can BNR a 10 ball rack sometimes, sadly not at the Derby
, and I had my shot, but not often enough to practice it yet, I do sometimes just to see how I'm progressing. the 6 ball is easy, sometimes the 7 ball is, there is a big jump for me from 7 to 8 balls and remember I spot them in the middle, its a total offence game for me so I dont play safe, if I break bad and tie up balls that I cant untie and it ends my run I lose simple as that.
those are my rules, I made them up, if I didnt then I'll give credit to who ever did, great minds think alike.
I hope this year to get to the 8 ball ghost 70% win to loss ratio. its funny how easy the 6 is and just 2 more balls changes everything and its not like making 2 balls is all that hard, this game never ceases to amaze me.
have fun, someday i might keep records of my practice and build a data base and watch the progress, when your not gifted and running 6 packs at 17 years old you gotta do it the hard way.
