I was posting a few results in the "who can beat the 9 ball ghost" thread, but that thread has some "negativity" in it (namely by me mr. skeptic). In any event, there was alot of discussion in there about how many people could beat it, what level of player it takes to beat it, and beat it consistently, and finally started getting to the definitions of levels of players.
That being said, I know alot of guys have been playing the ghost a set or two just to give it a shot (myself being one of them) just to see what kind of scores they can put up. One guy just beat the ghost 9 : 2!
In any event I figured if anyone else out there is trying it as well, you could post the daily results of your ghost sets in this thread to measure improvement, etc..
Obviously It's hard to compare apples to apples becuase of the obvious equipment changes, but I figured pocket size is probably the single most important factor in that so much like a lot of guys signiatures we could just list what we played on like..
9' Murrey
4 1/4 pockets (Or you could list it as.. 2 balls won't enter the points, or 2 balls won't enter the pocket at the jaws etc...) Just a brief description, or perhaps a picture of 2 balls in a pocket if you have a camera handy?
When I 1st started playing the ghost I was losing 2 : 9 or there abouts, but now that I've been playing it for a couple weeks I'm getting up to 5 : 9. 99% of that has to do with the break, it's completely different then normal 9 ball, and I've figured a way to get alot more 9 ball action and since I'm getting BIH after the break I don't care about shape on the one.. Resulting in more combo's, carom's and 9 ball breaks per set.
That being said I had a buddy over last night and we were playing some pool, and drinking more then a couple beers. At the end of the night I played some ghost sets after everyone crashed out. Surprisingly even with the beers I put up one of my best scores yet!
The rules I play by (you play by your own, but if they vary maybe throw them up to let us know what's different?)
Break BIH
Foul on Break = Loss
All "legal" shots count. I.E. 9 ball can be made out of rotation on a legal shot
Any miss results in loss
Cue Ball Fouls Only. I.E. If you bump an object ball just put it back to the best of your abillities.
