Been losing to the ghost. I keep rattling my shots on 4.25 pockets.

I may adjust it to two shots. LOL

Ok here’s my assessment about ghost Fargo rate after thinking a bit. I’m now an established 679, so let’s assume that rating is correct. My ghost sample is large enough to say I’m certainly a slight underdog considering the conditions I play (fairly tight table, old cloth, wooden rack, random ball sets). I feel like on a table with new cloth, new balls, magic rack, I would be a favorite. So obviously conditions matter and you can’t put a blanket single Fargo on the ghost. My best guess is, the average ghost Fargo is about 650. Bar table, we’re looking at sub 600. Super tight table like 4” or smaller with worn cloth, you’re probably looking at 720+.

Warmed up today with a couple drills and decided to give the ghost 9-Ball a shot. Glad I did. Won the 1st rack, lost 2nd rack then proceeded to run 9 straight. 2 of the 9 racks I got lucky on but that's 9-Ball. Here is the link, hope you enjoy.

April numbers: 5-14

I haven’t played much at all this month and thought I’d at least get a couple of sets in yesterday. Things did not go well.

I forgot to mention my table size. 9' Diamond 4.25" pockets.

I just Installed 2x new Dynamic 3 tables to our club. Here is cool rack from my set vs 9-ball God.
That put me on 3-1 lead.. i did stop at 4-3 lead because this was morning 8 after night shift.. so i got too tired to finish it.

So basically, the ghost is always 100% run out when your turn ended ?
