i never even heard of this game until a few weeks ago, is running 5 in a row(6 ball racks) on a wet 4.5 inch pocket wet 9' table good?, the pockets wouldnt take a ball for nothing, man the humidity and the air handling system in the pool room is terrible, geeze those pockets were tough tonigh, is 5 in a row with out missing good? I havent ever tried this before or even heard of it til recently, I only played 40 minutes sa I wasnt warmed up and playing with an unfamiliar cue. or is 10 the bench mark for a good player, whats the cut off from B to A- player, it was super easy, hell unless the balls come up funny I pretty sure I could run 10 on a dry table with a familiar cue. I was cold too. Or is 5 normal for C players, I know ZERO about this game, or what I should be able to accomplish playing at my level.

no i'm not, i never make threads that dont have meaning or value to me or the community.as a whole, i dont have time for games on message boards, i like to keep them happy and joke but not by starting useless topics and wasting eveyones time,

i retired from pool in 94, and I never heard of it-back then, someone explained it to me a little over a week ago but until today my back hurt so much i couldnt play,tonight i felt good, so i gave it a shot, only played 8 or 9 racks i lost 2 or 3 because balls got tied up on the rails etc. I think 10 is possible for me(6 balls) on a dry table with a cue that I an 100% used to , the cue tonight plays great but I only have 30 minutes on it until tonight. and wow the pockets were tough from the humidity.

I would be happy to string together even a couple of racks, and I'm definitely not a 'beginner'.

Running six racks on a tight 9' table is pro-level in my book. If you came to my town wanting to play for $ after doing something like that, I would ask for the 6 out.

You're the GREATEST! Why they are chuckling is that Six Ball is relatively easy to run with BIH. Rarely are balls tied up, so position becomes easier. That being said, on the table you described, it would take a solid B player to do it five times in a row. Ten in a row would require a very good player to accomplish it, just because it is fairly easy to get out of line or miss a ball.

Remember what I told you about matching up playing Six Ball. It's a great gaff game, but please keep it to yourself dude. I may need it again if I get broke.

My bad, Fatboy.

I thought you were talking about running 9-ball racks, not 6-ball. Maybe I should have read a little more closely.

Shane,

He's talking about running six balls in rotation with Ball In Hand. Fairly easy to do for any decent player. But five times in a row on a tough table is not bad.
 
I play the 9 ball ghost all the time. I've never tried the 6 ball ghost. I think I'm about 30 to 40 percent playing 9 ball. I'll have to see how many I can string together with 6. Last week I got in stroke on a Gold Crown and was playing over 50 percent against the 9 ball ghost. That was not a normal session.

you got 5-3 playing 9 ball banks, any where, place or time, all i want is 4 to 1 on the $$$, so bet it up. ;)

seriously I walked into the pol room it was raining like hell outside, i put the balls out on the table and jawed every ball, they are ecactly 4.5 inches ay the mouth and probbly 4 3/8 at the back they get narrower the deeper you go into the pocket-they are cut different the Ernesto does it, ther are no shims, the room was like Maimi in august-i was pouring sweat, after playing for 5 minutes I racked 6 ball and smashed them and thats when i remembered the goahst thing, so i took ball in hand and ran out and did the next 4 never got out of line, I did shit one ball in the rack that stopped me was a 3 ball cluster with the 2,5,6 i had no shot of getting out, It seemed easy to me, so that why I asked if 5 in a row on short rack was any good, its a serious question, I didnt know if C players do that or B players or A players, i know that champions will getout most of the time,. I didnt even feel like I was playing very good tonight but what ever-I just wondered how this fits in against other people playing the same game.

i dont have to like it at 4 to one, i didnt make one bank shot tonight, but man that table played tough, I need the 25% extra $$$ do its 4 to 1 on the box we played on, it was just luck thati win one game, so i'll spot you the world and i'll get the world when i win 1 out of 5 games, you'll be 1 unit ahead(i think my math is right its 230am and i'm bet and not thinking clearly), which aint bad you can run 3 and out easy, i cant run 5 and out, so the $$$ has to be 4 to one-and i might not like that-but i'd give it a shot, i just need to win the first 5 games to put you 20 units in the hole-then we got our selfs a game and we can renegoate from there, I'm not as green as you might think.

so what about the 5 racks of goast 6 ball-is that good? it seemed easy to me.

I told you it was good. So what do you want, a medal!

I like the way you match up. I'm betting on you if you ever make a game.

i promis you one thing if I ran a six pack i wouldnt be asking questions ;) i have popped the and ran 4 years ago, I sstarted the run on the 4 ball so it was 4.5 racks on a 9' table with big pockets-it didnt matter i couldnt miss that day,

i'm gonna play aroung with the 6 ball thing then move up to 9 that will be a big step, so i'm going to play the last 6 or 6 ball til im at 80%-90%, if you can win that often getting the last 6 off the table you'll beat alot of players, but putting together 9 balls and stringing them is a whole nother level.

happy 4th of july
