This past weekend, I went to Capones in Spinghill to watch the big ten ball tournement. I saw alot of great players there. But the most amazing thing I saw was a 14 yr old kid playing the ghost in 10 ball. He won 9 out of 10 racks. His stroke was perfect. His posission play was prescise. He only had to bank one ball in the 10 racks, made it, and got prefect posision on the next ball. This kid could have kept on running racks if the guy that was betting against him want to keep going too. NO FEAR!!! How strong is that?!?!?!?
 
It would be a lot stronger if we witnessed it ourselves. :p
I don't know how tight the table's pockets were.
But, a good pro is prolly even money at Hard Times against the 10-ball ghost.
 
This something you had to witness. I am glad I did before they got into my pocket.

The Table was an 8' Big G Gandy. I could not tell you how tight the pocket were, I did not play on the table. I am sure he could have went to the 9' GCs and done the same thing. It might have been easier on a 9'. More room for the balls to spead out. This kid ran out with such ease, the only thing I can say was, "His Stake Horse has a gold mine on his hands".

Pro's will line up to play the ten ball ghost if they can get a bet.
Hardtimes is not that tough of a house to play in. Its not like the tables are gaffed up to crazy specs.

There are guys taht play more technical and safer than others but
the ghost is nothing for Pro players. Its keeping control of the table in
tournaments that gives them fits.

I that i know about that kid .Last year a kid came thru GA lookin for some action .He got some ,But i think the kid was on the low .He kicked good and banked good .But it think the cash got to him.But i talked to his backer and he said the kid go's on the road in the summer and back to school in the winter.But the Ghost can be beat, it's all how the balls roll.Theres a guy here in Augusta That played the ghost some ten ball and played jam up beat the ghost the guy quit after he ran the set..I was once told that someone bet that Ginky can't beat the 10 ball ghost and that was no match for him so thay put in another ball .And won that .How strong it that.. :cool:

I agree. C.J. Wiley said that he is about 50% at beating the ghost with 12 balls. Anything less than that I suspect any top pro will beat. Of course, equipment could be a factor if the tables are crazy tight.
