Clint,
Generally, someone who is a Solid B player should be able to beat the ghost if they are playing good. And someone who is a A- or above should always be able to beat the ghost.
I like to play the ghost when warming up, and for the most part can always run to the 7 or 8 ball GRRR and of course lose lol.
If I was to take the 7 ball from the ghost, It would almost be too easy for me.
And yes, playing the ghost on a 7ft table is alot harder than on a 9ft table.
on a 7ft table I am rated a C in the local handicap tournament, but on a 9ft table I go upto atleast B- or B.
If you find yourself on the typical losing end of playing the ghost, give yourself a handicap, start with getting the wild 6ball, if thats too easy goto the 7, and so on.

I played the ghost 9-ball race to 4 for $20 with the 7,8,9 and lost 4-2... then he told me his name was Vern, not ghost, and I drew him next in the tourney. wtf??
