I played a "bad" set to 7 with the 9 ball ghost. Lost 1-7. But, I marked the balls of each rack with the projection pro billiards projector before shooting.
Now, I'm going to try each rack repeatedly to see if I can figure out the best way to run each rack. When done, I'll try the original race again to see if I do any better than losing 1-7
Videos below. All are sped up for easy viewing.
