APA7,your still calling people out? I dont get why you are hung up on this. If it matters so much to you what people put is their speed, why dont you BET some cash on it? If you challenged them and said you would bet a 100 they cant, quite a few of them would try to show you your wrong. You keep calling out people and frankly its annoying.
<----Dave will start you off with a bet that he can beat the 9ball ghost and maybe even the 10ball ghost.

APA7: I agree with others here that you seem to be a litle too hung up on this. Will people exagerate on the net? Sure, some will. Travis Trotter isn't even a real person. He's a made up persona for this forum. Blackjack can run hundreds in 14.1. Yet you question one of the top posters, and top instructors, on beating the 10 ball ghost??? What makes you think that he CAN'T beat it. I would be very surprised if he can't.
Running over a hundred in 14.1 takes great shotmaking and positioning skills. Not to mention knowing how to break up clusters. Beating the ghost only takes a wide open break, shotmaking skills, and normal positioning play. The big key to beating the ghost IMHO is getting a wide open break.
Why not call out some of the others that are way UNDERrated on the poll. If the truth were known, there would be a lot more on the 9 and 10 list.
Also, why should anyone have to post a video to proove themselves?? Some are still in the 'action game' and would only kill their action by posting. Some of us do not have access or the know-how to post a video.
You can pretty much tell by posters previous posts, how honest they are. Go by that. I think it's rather petty to be caling people out that you happen to disagree with. But I do agree with another poster- if you are going to call people out, put something up on it!

<---3 ball ghost champion
hack, hooey, harrrrf, gag....
I was gonn say something, but these damn hairballs are killing me! :thumbup:
Ok, all better now... I'm one of those dumbo's that overstated my ghost skills. Twas my first experience in a public poll (I have always counted on anominity!). There goes all my $1, $2 action.
I will defend my position.
APA7: No, I have not seen blackjack play. But I do have faith in him. As far as Travis Trotter, you misunderstood me. Travis T. is not just a fake forum name that someone is using for anonymity. He is not even a real person. Everything about him is made up. If you had read previous posts by him, you would know he gets a big thrill when he wins a game against his "dad". He once ran a rack of 9-ball in only about 20 shots. Does that tell you anything about him???
Neil, I C what U R saying about Travis. He iz a strange 1.
I asked Blackjack N a few others on the 10 ball ghost claim 2 post an UNEDITED video becuz there R some peeps from so. Fla that have seen him play and cannot believe his claims of running 200 balls N beating the 10 ball ghost. :sorry:

or rack 6 ball with 5 in the middle 6 on one of the corners, break and drop the 6 after the break
Or:
__1_2__
_3_7_4_
__5_6__
Numbers not important except one ball and money ball. After racking rotate rack until centered with one ball on the spot.

I have not seen you offer any incentive for someone to put a vid of a claimed performance up...think $$$$.
Agree to post the $ and I am sure you will have (shortly paid for) your proof.

But, who are you to demand they prove themselves to you?
Who cares who in So. Fla believes what?
Short of harassment, what is it you gain from this?
I like Alinco's 3 ball drill. But....you have alot more patience than I have.
This is something that I recommend to help ramp up someone's run out game....
-Throw 3 balls out randomly on the table. Make sure that there no balls are touching and there is at least a balls space between any other ball. Take ball in hand and run out. Play a race to 10 and you must win at least 7 games (70%). When you can do that consistantly....jump up to 4 balls, then 5, then 6, etc....until maybe someday....15 balls.

And I don't speak for the 2-3-4, so I guess your offer is out there.
