Finally I've gotten a work schedule that allows me to practice. Since I've come back I've only had time to play at best two days a week. For the last few months I've only played 1 day a week. For some reason I've had some serious focus issues lately which is why I decided to race the ghost.
Since I haven't had much time to play I'm just not in stroke enough to play the 9 ball ghost. I decided to give the 7 ball ghost a go. I played a 5 ahead race and it was a grind with me finally reaching 5 ahead after about 2 and a half hours. It's honestly the best practice session I've had in a long time. I think I may have found a new way to practice.
I will add that I don't take BiH every time when I play the ghost. If I have a shot I go for it because I'd rather have a true B&R than winning the rack.
Something that I also found out with 7 ball is that if you use a racking template for 7 ball you make 2-3 balls on the break. I put it away and used a wooden rack because it would've been more like playing the 4-5 ball ghost.
