Lost 6-7, regular 9 ball ghost. Tied with my best score earlier this year. I'm trying a new to me sighting method, day 3 into it.

I hope you stick your new method long enough to maybe improve :)
People often give up changes too fast and go back old stuff they know. That is how one hit plateau :)

Thanks. I wasn't going to play today, but your post motivated me! I just played another set to 7 and lost 5-7. I was hitting them super well. This sighting is really working for me.

Lost 5-7, but hitting them super well for me! I setup the missed ball at the end of most of the racks and ran the rest of the racks. Sped 5x for my short attention span.

My wife gifted me a Magic Rack so I gave it a go this afternoon. I tied my best 3-7... Ghost won. I made the 9 on the break once and I didn't break dry a single time. I think it makes a big difference. The wing ball fell every time and I got the one in the side a few times. Since I am in no danger of beating the ghost any time soon , I keep a count of how many balls I pot playing the ghost. I get 10 points if I win the rack. My previous best was 50. I got 65 with the new rack tonight. I know that I haven't improved that much but the rack made me feel better about my game.

Another 6-7 loss. This was with a 3D printed pool cue. I was up 4-0 and kept thinking I was going to blank the ghost. You all know the rest;)

Dead space removed, but striking sounds remain to hear the cue ping.

Its easier on your back too, if you are going for a tight rack.
