They’re at least as clever as Richard Dawkins, but maybe not quite as clever as Sir Isaac Newton.

wut

​@@bustedfender And this comment is about as clever as a piece of toast.

Rules are easy, game is hard. You should firstly pot a red ball, than Black, blue or others. If you hide the ball behind the Black or blue or else, the shot is good because your opponent will play next, so he cant be able to reach any Red ball

@@Iliyanosan what

I've played him on a table he owns at longton snooker club, stoke-on-trent. I say played, I broke off 🤷🏼‍♂️ he's still extremely good, it's a shame he's no longer able to compete at the very highest level..

@@grantfoster8833 I remember seeing Jamie as an 8 year old (or thereabouts) in Longton Snooker club and he was quite the talent. Such a shame to see him retire early.

Called the yipps. I got it myself. Cost me my career too.

@@contradictionsniper8276 real shame to hear that mate

Do you know what caused the tremor? Was it because of playing the sport or extreme unluckiness? Can't find anything on the internet about it

Exactly. Some of these shots are pure genius.

can anyone help explain 0:36? i understand how snooker works (not to the fullest extent) but honestly i dont know what was great about it

@@basilsini9739 he was in a very difficult situation and was likely to leave his opponent a good chance on his return to the table. His clever shot ensured that didn't happen

@@basilsini9739 it's very hard to play a safety here that doesn't leave one of the reds available for the opponent. Ideally you'd probably want to play a soft shot here to put the cue ball near the reds in bottom left. However, the yellow ball is blocking that avenue. This shot was not only a clever idea on how to put the red there in a different way, but also technically difficult (the rotation he played here is not easy to pull off with this much control).

When you understand snooker you realize how many shots are unintentional & often successful

Well yeah. There are only 27 possible points on the table and he needed 30 to win. So he had to force his opponent to make a foul. And you do that by making it impossible for them to hit the "ball-on" (in this case it's yellow, because it's end of the frame).

@@mrkv4k damn snooker is way more complex than I thought it was lmao

Here's a fine example of: When people who don't know the game, comment

@@cynical7989 watch some old matches and you will get the rules.

@@poetiktearz quit gatekeeping and welcome people to this awesome sport.

I'm

No doubt...

That shot looks so simple but it’s so genius

Yea - that's an incredible play. I got up out of my chair in disbelief!

Never played pool nor snooker yet I enjoy this. Would love to try it someday

a perfect 147: am I a joke to you

The snooker in the jaws off the middle pocket.Alex Higgins played the same snooker quite a few years ago.

Just need to get rid of Phil Yates now, terrible

I agree, also show the overall tournament standings at the time of the shot and at the end of the tournament. Plus, a small clip on the players travelling home, with destination, mode of transport, would help tremendously.

@@aquapony Maybe a short interview with each player saying their experience of the shot and an anime short about its global effect.

Yeah, next shot sometimes would be nice, for examle Selby's shot was made, when the score was 39-70 and it just might be irrelevant if he hasnt farmed enough points with it

😂

It was always sad to hear Willie Thorn ?

@Christopher Chadwick for more than a year, yes

I met Williams at a exhibition, chilled guy also loves a gamble 😂

That one was my favourite too. If you played it 10 times i doubt it would come out that well again!

Kyren Wilson is super talented.

He's not the only one who's used a flat tip - Marco Fu and Stephen Hendry rock that style too. Although I don't think I've ever seen any others have the tip larger than the ferrule...

@@indyandherjones i vaguely remember Ebdon having a tip larger than the ferule... Or maybe it was mushrooming and he didnt shape it... Something like that... Edit: just got to that part of the video and it is Ebdon 😂

Jakov Brižić he probably took so long to play his shot that it started growing.

It's amazing. Created a snooker out of nothing

I have trouble falling asleep, I like watching very long snooker matches to help me fall asleep, maybe it can work for you ?

If you know anything about pool you should pickup on it pretty easily. Most of these shots are defensive and the goal is to either hide from a cherry and once all of those are gone hide them from the lowest value ball on the table because I think you have to make them lowest to highest in value.

im playin snooker like ronie

hahahaha same here
