Lets say you have medium tough 9 foot brunswick. Obviously, if you can beat the ghost you're pretty good player. If you can't do that i guess you could spot yourself the 8 or the 7. What speed are you if you can beat the ghost with the 7 without making it on the break or use it in combination. Is that a A, B, or C level. The town i live in don't rate players like that so i don't know what speed i play.

if you can beat the ghost most of the time with the 7 id say youre probably a b/b- player imo

The ghost is your opponent who never misses, always runs out. Play him a set. You break, take ball in hand, try to run out. You fail, he wins. Your percentage against his competition? Like Efren, he never misses or fails easy position, but he just doesn't break well, so you have your chances.
i play the ghost all the time and sometimes the fool but seriously it sure helps in a lot of ways ,i tend to run out 1 out of 5 games sometimes i run out more but whos counting im thinking im a c player but then again i dont kno how to rate
thanxz slider , i take the ghost dead serious , even if i foul i give ball in hand i think going through all the motions really helps my game ...
ok what is the 7? i ve heard peop on here saying if u give me the 7 , but i dont have any idea what that means ?i f eel so dumb lol, now on a bb table i find it a bit tougher to break and run but im working on that
If you get the seven it means playing the seven wins the game for you.....the other guy still has to play the nine.
Often when you get the 7 the eight is often included...pretty generous spot with 3 money balls for you and one for him....
It can be a called seven/called 8/wild for each ect...not on the snap....thats in the negotiations.
If playing a better player in 9 ball, its how the odds are evened.

Getting the 7 from the ghost isn't much of a spot. The last three balls on the table are the easiest ones. What I do is rack 9 ball and take the lowest 2 balls off the table or 1 ball if you want to play the 8 ball ghost. I can usually beat the 8 but can only beat the 9 on my best days.
Thats how I practice most of the time is by playing the ghost. I share the my finished basement with a 1, 9 and 10 year olds. I'm usually getting sharked by my kids when I playing him. I can beat him bout 50% of the time race to 5, but when its a race to 9 I have only done it once. I usually only win 6-8 games when racing to 9.
