Ghost's bank caroms

Ghost, I tried some of these shots today at the poolroom. These are great shots, and I would never have thought to play them. I'll need more practice on the 2-railer to the corner pocket on the same side. It's tricky to not sell out the upper ball. But the bank carom to the opposite corner pocket is real swell. Now if I can just recognize the layout when it comes up! ~Doc

Dennis.....I don't have no stinkin' book...I just know the shot cuz over the years I've practiced variations of it, up and down the the long rail, and I always show it to the young guys at the pool hall...here's one simple variation, carom-banking the 1ball, that I've practiced many times......>>>

Doc.......Glad to be of service...here's a slight alteration of the shot for you to envision coming up in a game...with game situations similar to this layout, where the path of the 3 ball is blocked, you don't have to worry about selling out the 3 ball >>>

Damn Ghosty, why don't you just give up ever little thing we've ever learned in the last 20 years? Like the absolutely perfect & mistake-free intentional foul where no living human has ever responded from. Or that two-rail, combination, kick, carom, bank, cut-shot. The one that ALWAYS wins the game for us. Just give it all away for free. Who cares?

As long as we're giving free advice, here's one for you Doc. This comes up more than you would think. These are only good when you can hide rocky.

I appreciate the offer Doc, but, as you can see, I have the first three days covered. After that, I may be looking for you.
