How do you rack twelve ball? I'm already bored with the nine and ten ball ghost... Lol
Twelve ball
- Thread starter Jpowell7575
- Start date
How about starting with the 11-ball
10-ball = pyramid
11-ball = Christmas Tree with one ball as the trunk
Freddie <~~~ has guesses on 12-ball and symmetry, but that's all
That was a joke about me being tired of 9 and 10 ball. I was hoping some of the people from the action room would see that. The 9 ball ghost could spot me 5 going to 7 and rob me. I would like to know how to rack 12 ball though just out of curiosity.
same
if balls rack good 12ball ghost is only slightly tougher then 10ball ghost.
in about 06 i beat the 12ball ghost 57 ahead playing 20 dollar races to 13 over 3 days about 3 sets a day on 41/8 inch pockets.
this was at garys victor billiards. i was in super dead stroke but as a general rule a pro is stealing at 12ball ghost unless tables racks and breaks bad.or table is stupid tight

Damn John, Thats strong!
Hey, here's a question, have you ever gambled on the one pocket ghost? Like they do it at the Derby? I wonder what a Pro would average, or the over under?
thanx,
G.
And how do you rack them sir?
Like a pyramid with two balls on the the 2nd and 4th spot on the last row?
Freddie <~~~ buster of the 1-ball ghost with BIH (but it's close)
Here's one of my videos of 12 ball ghost... One wing ball always seems dead, sometimes both on this table...

hi
like mr novak showed thats how i racked 12ball .
as far as one pocket ghost ,i luv that and have gambled fairly high.
my best in 5 racks was in front of about 8 customers in wv in poolroom i owned.
i did 73 in 5 racks without bih after break on a diamond 9ft.
one of the guys that saw me do it told jay helfort and jay said thats impossible. i guess because i did it an american lol.
if a pinoy would have done it jay would say of course thats cause they are the best lol.
no hard feelings jay but to my knowledge nobody has done better then 73 in 5 racks ever.

I agree, ten ball is too easy. I've gone to full rack rotation 14.1 where you have to leave the 15 as your break ball every time and run the rest of the rack in order. 100 ball run counts as a win over the ghost.
That is awsome!, but DUDE!.....turn on the webcam! You never know what happens in practice right! I would buy a copy or 2.
The best I have seen to this point was Gabe Owen at the Derby do a 60 I think it was? Total control of the table!, but a 70+? WOW!
I also was lucky enough to have Allen Hopkins show me the break for the 1P ghost.....which is basically how you do it.
G.
I've never seen anyone play the ghost in 1P. How should you break them?
Here's one way...Max runs the max
