hi just wondering if there is anyway the cross in the middle of ghost ball can be removed? in the other formats it isnt really a problem but in original the cross overlaps the ghost ball and makes it hard to see exactly were im hitting (especially on straight shots). was playing a guy today and he had the exact same problem....

it sucks like its wat causes me to miss most of the time. maybe they want us to get 40" monitors so the balls get bigger and will take the lines away lol

Nah Damee plays on a Laptop and he still manages get a 147 even on a half the laptop screen it's annoying I know

But I do agree with you, I think when you get used to it eventually you will be able to do it.

But maybe there should be a option to take the cross in the middle away

I have the same problem. Really annoying to because original is my fav table. If nothing can be done to sort this problem then there should def be an option to remove the cross.

then damee must have seriously good eyesight lol on the other games the cross doesnt bother me at all like its ust original it comes over the ghost ball and makes it hard to judge sometimes.... really dont see the use of the cross at all though, why is it even there lol

You can make the crosshair smaller, I play on a 15 inch screen and I had the same problem so I made it smaller. I've posted the solution on some thread ages ago I'll try to find it for you

Here you go lads

Control Panel - Mouse - Pointers - Customize (click precision select) and then press browse - Scroll down until you find Cross_r

This is on Windows 7 and works for me, makes the cross hair a lot smaller. I don't know if this works on anything other than Windows 7 but it's worth a try I suppose

The other very simple solution is not to use ghost ball . I don't think Damien uses it does he? I use default cursor and there isnt a problem at all and I am on a laptop too. Might be worth giving a different one a go.

Could've sworn they all have cross hairs on them?

Well yes they do but the overlapping the edge of the ball isnt as much of an issue with other cursors I found. If you use system cursor it doesnt overlap with anything

I think the default one is definitely the best though, and the cross hair thing is easy to fix

I've always used ghost ball on the same screen size as damee's- never noticed a cross hair before to be honest.

I use default, but can play with ghost with no problem at all.

It is annoying with the crosshair being bigger that the ghost it's self, but just try to ignore it if Lyles solution doesn't work for you.
