Thetford Snooker Centre is the place I played at. Real chill spot.

"When you don't know what you're talking about... stop talking."

you have NO IDEA how difficult a 147 is

You asked if the time of 5:20 for a 147 has been beaten, it hasn't. Check out Peter Ebdon's 12 break.

Its like darts you got to finish on the same score... Haha.. what a comment.

Sometimes it’s better to keep quiet and appear a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt

Nothing with a cue can ever beat this. It can never be matched. 5 minutes of pure genius.

I think it's quite difficult for someone who hasn't played on a Pro Snooker table to appreciate how difficult this is, not to mention at this speed. Even ordinary club tables are easier in most ways (depending on how you want to go in your break building). But I think for the most part, it's the speed thing that's most apparent with this particular break. Most professionals would find it fairly difficult to do what O'Sullivan did here in less than ten minutes, let alone make it look so easy in 5 minutes.

Snooker is a much harder game than pool. A bigger table and smaller pockets

amazing to think he was I believe 21 when he did this. He's still at the top of the game now at 48, having won 7 world titles

Fact: He's just as good left-handed!! Crazy!!!

Yes. Black worth 7, so getting a black every time, means MAXIMUM possible points = 147 for a frame. Very rare in a tournament.

Everyone needs to play Snooker before reacting to Ronnie playing Snooker. If you don't then it's impossible to appreciate what he just did. In fact I would challenge most Bar Room Pool players to get 5 consecutive balls on a Snooker table. I used to play quite a lot in my youth, (Pool and Snooker). I could quite easily clear a Pool table but I'd always be happy with 5 consecutive balls on a Snooker table. The level of precision required is just on a different level.

Yank: "He's gotta do some math now to finish on 147." Lol! He didn't even realize Ronnie would win £147,000.

Ronnie would destroy every pool player.

Great vid dude

Red-1 pt Yellow-2 pts Green-3 pts Brown-4 pts Blue-5 pts Pink-6 pts Black-7 pts You have to shoot one red, and then one that is not red... hopefully i helped :)

Fella, it's red - colour - red - colour - red - colour and so on. So red - black - red - black is the highest scoring sequence. So 15 reds & 15 blacks then all the colours add up to 147. Red=1 Yellow=2 Green=3 Brown=4 Blue=5 Pink=6 Black=7

The red and yellow game in pubs IS pool, just like stripes and solids/dots). We just use red and yellow balls because people tend to not want to steal them and make gear lever (stick shift) knobs out of them.

Rocket Ronnie as he's nicknamed, what a player

In England, we usually call the 'Red and Yellow' game, '8 Ball Pool' to differentiate it from American '9 Ball' . The small 6 foot tables fit in pubs better, so it makes sense. In Snooker, the object and/or the cue ball doesn't have to hit a cushion ('Rail' in Pool) even if you don't 'Pot' ('Make' or 'Hole' in Pool) the ball. This rule often catches either player of each game out, when trying the other sport. Both 9 Ball, and (real) Snooker are excellent games.

Dude feels so long since I was in here requesting videos and you were back reacting. Good to be back here, and good to see you too, hope you’ve been all good. 👍✌️. Please react to Khabib vs Mcgregor Promo Trailer THE EAGLE VS THE NOTORIUS . it has 1.6 million views, a savage promo. 💪

This is one thick " Septic "

what id say about pool is that there is a extremely fine line between the best and worst player. Of course the best player will win more often but the line is so small because the shots arent particularly difficult when you know how to play. Its much more of a coin toss. In pool only crazy off cushion shots will be missed. In snooker the distance and spin you need to impart on every shot make even potting balls difficult, the pockets are also smaller. Therefore the winner of a snooker game will be the better player. I feel there is an awful lot more luck in pool based on the break off and such as if you pot off the break you'll usually win and if you dont you will usually lose at the top level. Because of this there really isnt much entertainment in it for me

Snewker not snucker, btw.

The rule is that if you pot a red ball then you can choose which coloured ball to pot next. Obviously the way to get the highest possible score is to keep potting black with every red, until the reds are all gone, then the remaining colours have to be potted in order of colour./value, finishing with the black.

What I took away from this video is you dont have a clue about snooker

A guide to Snooker (for those who know pool!). And particularly for the uploader :-D First the terms. The Cue Ball is the same, but all the other six balls that aren't red are collectively known as the _Colours_ . The _Red_ balls are simply called that, they are not _colours_ (despite them being coloured red!). This is only as a means to differentiate them from the _colours_ . So that it can be said there are three categories (The Cue Ball, the Red Balls and the Coloured Balls) each serving completely different functions within the game. The players take it in turns to try to score as many points as possible (or try to keep the other player from doing the same) before all the balls are _potted_ (pocketed), or to force a concession. Points are accrued thusly, one red is potted after which the player is entitled to attempt to pot one colour. A player can remain at the table (keeping the other player off the table) for as long as they continue to pot one red followed by one colour in succession, whenever a player pots two or more balls in succession their turn is called a _break_ , so long as they continue to make legal shots. When a turn or break ends in an illegal shot the opponent receives penalty points (these can vary depending on the specific illegal shot or _foul_ ). A player can also attempt to play a _safety shot_ at any time during their turn, which (although it will mean the end of their turn) is designed to keep the opponent from scoring. Whenever a red is potted, it remains in the pocket, whenever a colour during a _break_ is potted it is returned to its own unique spot or _re-spotted_ . This goes on until there are no longer any more reds on the table. At which point (after the last remaining permitted colour is potted and re-spotted) the player can attempt to pot the last remaining colours in order of ascending value. The balls are each worth a differing amount of points. The Reds are each 1 point, the Yellow 2, Green 3, Brown 4, Blue 5, Pink 6 and the Black 7. Meaning that with the absence of a _free ball_ situation (I won't go into that here as it's not so necessary for a beginner) the Maximum Break a player can achieve is 147pts. 15pts _red balls_ +105pts (7x15) _one black ball for every red ball_ +27pts _colours in succession_ . Despite the nature of the scoring and that there are *always* a known possible amount of points _on the table_ this all does not include any penalty points which might be incurred. This means that the conclusion of any rack or _frame_ may be somewhat unclear when there are still balls remaining on the table (other than the cue ball!). In this case, the frame ends when one player deems the deficit in points insurmountable due to both, the lack of points on the table AND the implausibility of enough penalty points. When there are still balls remaining on the table the frame only officially ends when either one of the players _concedes_ . But when there is only the cue ball remaining, the winner can be declared by the _referee_ as the player with the most points. A frame may be played on its own, but when the players are of a particular standard it is usually necessary for them to play a number of frames (best of) in order to properly determine the better player. This is, like in pool, due to the possibility of either player simply 'not getting a look in' during any given frame.

Frankly, I can't believe you are the only guy I've found who has reacted to this video! I've just watched a video about a world record in javelin, which the title calls 'the ONLY' world record that cannot be broken' and had to comment about this frame of snooker on that video purely because I (and just about everyone else who knows about snooker) sincerely believe it will never be broken'! I guess if the world actually cared about snooker, then this record would be as highly regarded as it deserves to be!

There is another game called Billeards played with 3 balls.

There is no science behind it. The scoring system works the following way: When you come to the table you need to play with and ideally pot a red ball after that you have to play with one of the colors which would ideally be the black but it is not mandatory the most important thing is to keep the break going by potting red then color, red then color and so on. Once a red is potted it remains potted when a color is potted it is returned to the table if there are still red on the table. 147 is the conventional maximum amount of points you can score: 15 Reds (worth 15 points) potted with 15 blacks (worth 105 points) after the last black the remaining colors must be potted in the following exact order yellow (2 points) Green (3 points) Brown (4 points) Blue (5 points) Pink (6 points) and Black (7 points) which results in 147. Back in the day they would give 147000 pounds additional prize for anyone who would achieve this so it is a pretty rare and special event.

He’s incredible from England aswell

Snooker has nothing to do with Maths, you simply pott a red then try to pott a colour (yellow=2,green=3,brown=4,blue=5,pink=6,black=7) worth the most points then repeat & put it on the scoreboard as you go. You do not have to finish on a certain number, your total is your score, the maximum is 147 (without a opponent foul on his first shot but that's another story). Snooker tables are big 12 foot long by 6 foot wide & have small pockets.....it is a very hard game to be good at compared to pool (please try it if you don't believe me). I play both & after a game of Snooker- Pool seems easy & small but that can be a relief - they are totally different games where pool is nearly all about potting balls Snooker can be very tactical with position of balls. P.S. DO not drink alcohol & play snooker as it can be frustrating.

Glad to see you back, please watch The Top 25 Indycar Oval Crashes uploaded by MrKyleBusch

Ronnie the rocket Osuillivan, guys the GOAT of snooker, no competition.

Guessing how snooker works fail

You should try and find the video where mid game o’sullivan asks the hosts how much reward money he’d get for hitting the 147. When they replied with a sum he didnt think was good enough, i think he went “ah fuck it” and stopped trying😂

It goes red ball , followed by any colour, red, colour and so on,until a miss. Red 1 Yellow 2 Green 3 Brown 4 Blue 5 Pink 6 Black 7. Reds stay down, colours back on their spots, until all reds potted. Then colours in ascending order.

Do they show Snooker in the USA on sports channels?

You should have watched a peter ebdon match 😂

You might want to check out Ronnie O'Sullivan visiting America and playing pool v professional pool players

It's nice that you're making reactions to Snooker. This is not a very popular sport but it is great. Thanks.

Snooker is NOT pool.. different strategies, smaller pockets, larger table..

he has to pot red then colour red then colour. so when you pondered is going pink/blue there a couple of times that was not an option. and in this case there was no "math" required, he was just potting all the reds with a black so it would automatically add up to 147. the math is only required if the frame is not yet already won. if your break getting difficult you might work out how many point are still available to the opponent before deciding how to play your next shot. in this case the frame was won early on and no maths was required.

Hey man, you should react to Ronnie O'Sullivans Cocky 146, That shit is LIT!

at the time that break alone won him $300,000 stand alone prize money

American pool is what you play Two colored 8 ball game (called blackball in uk) has smaller balls(2inch) and much smaller table and pockets are all different.middle pockets are round shaped and easy but corner pockets are hard. Billiards is another type of cue sport mostly played in uk. There are 3 colors and scoring is not like other games. This game is played on snooker tables. And finaly snooker is in fact a more enjoyable form of billiards with 15 red balls and 6 coloed balls and a cue ball. Rules of scoring is in your comments. Hope you the best.

If you are interested in a follow up video, here is a very recent interview with Ronnie O'Sullivan about that frame... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eKl5gcqZrNTZqY0.html

Talks pish...he's played snooker. Then says thought he was away to pot a red when he potted the black. Boy is a belter!!!!

This is Ronnie O'Sullivan. Check out what happened when he played a top professional pool player at pool. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9hldteFuLDUZ2w.html

'Billards' lol

Red, colour. Red, colour. Red, colour. etc etc until all the reds are gone then it's yellow, green brown, blue, pink, black. Game over. Pool in the UK is played with red and yellow balls which is just like playing with the usual dots and stripes but it deters people from stealing them and making gear lever (shift stick) knobs out of them. Nothing cooler than an 8 ball gear lever knob! X¬D Billiards is played on a full size snooker table.

Hey man you forgot to mention wales

👍

No maths, don’t have to hit a certain score, it’s not like darts at all. Has to take blacks and reds to make a maximum 147

Pool pockets are huge incamparison to snooker

I think you need to watch the rules of snooker after potting a red you have to pot a colour next a maximum means you pot 15 reds and 15 blacks and then the colours

You need to watch the legend that was Alex Higgins

10:34 lol yer don't say! :-)

I love pool but it is to snooker what mini golf is to proper golf

glad to have you back, react to Josh Kelly the new pretty boy of boxing (2018)

pool is for kids

It’s never been broken and he would’ve got £147,000 for the maximum and £10,000 for the highest break it was £1000 per point if you scored a maximum back then. Not bad for 5 minutes work.

160k on that so makes it pressure. Its 5.08 not 5.20.

Makes me glad Americans don’t play snooker, they’re annoying enough just talking about it, maybe know the rules next time.

He is not playing a shot ahead - more like four or five shots.

You should have listened to the commentary,you missed so much information

The second fastest is 6:30!

Billiards is a completely different game from snooker. Billiards was first played in the 16th century. Snooker, as we now know it, was first played in 1882 .Each game uses the same table. Pool is easy compared to snooker.

red/colord then red/colord... it's the rules dude

first learn the rules of snooker then you might understand how big a player he is !!

no darts,black all the time between red bro;)

Americans can't stop talking, even when they pretend to know what they obviously don't. He'll do well in their politics.

Wtf are u talking about man 🤣

Stupid murakana. It's red -> coloured -> red -> coloured... until all reds are gone. You can't go red -> red or coloured -> coloured. After that you have to go in point order. Yellow is worth least amount and black most. There's no math required to get to 147.

What a load of drivel this guy is talking , no idea about the game , i think he just likes the sound of his own voice .🇬🇧

React to the sex offender shuffle

You haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about

Still calling it "Billards" eh? It's pronounced "Bill yids".

Will never be beaten-simply because the modern pockets are tighter than they were 20 odd years back.

How can you react to this. You do not even know the rules of the game.

Watch some clips of Judd Trump playing.

The worst reaction to probably anything i have ever seen... First of all get a little Info about the game your watchin to understand that you just have seen the goat by himself making recordbreaking history.... This is pure art if you understand the game

Clueless.
