Why was the ref blurred out?

@@gjb79ful No idea why they blurred Malgorzata Kanieska out. Bit silly if you ask me.

Many thanks❤

Hard to believe thats his natural hair 🤣

Many thanks!

In snooker, when a game starts there are 15 red balls worth 1 point, and one ball each of the other colors with yellow worth 2 points, green 3 points, brown 4 points, blue 5 points, pink 6 points and black 7 points, and the white ball which is the only ball the players are allowed to touch with the cue (the stick). When a player starts their turn at the table they MUST make sure that after they hit the white ball with the cue, the first ball it makes contact with is a red ball if there is one available. If they hit a red ball and pocket it, then they must now make sure to hit one of the other colored balls first, and it is considered a foul if they hit another red first at this time (For example at 6:04 when Williams does that shot for the yellow ball when he is surrounded by tons of reds). If they pocket a colored ball, then that player adds their value to their score, get to continue playing at the table, and the colored ball gets put back on the table, while red balls once pocketed stay out of the game. If the turn player does not pocket a ball, or pockets the wrong kind of ball (Eg. pocketing a colored when they must hit a red, a red when they must hit a colored, or the white ball at any time) then their turn ends and the other player gets their turn. After all the red balls have been pocketed, then the colored balls must then be pocketed in order of their worth (so yellow, then green, then brown, then blue, then pink and finally black), and at this stage they do not get reset unless they were pocketed out of order, which is a foul (To explain why 6:45 is NOT a foul, even though Ding pocketed the black with no reds on the table, you must still pocket a colored ball after pocketing the last red, and that ball gets reset, before you have to pocket the colored ones in order). This is the reason there are varying amounts of balls on the table. Sometimes, the best play is not to pocket a ball, but to instead put the opponent in a position where it is almost impossible to not foul. A good example is at 3:50 when Davis puts his opponent in a 'Snooker'. This means that there are NO direct paths between the white ball and the red balls.

Haha ace comment mate, hell of a shot

Davis is the best snooker tactician of all time. I think he might of won even more if he had the 'split the pack as early as possible' approach.

Looks like the most difficult shot of them all to me, and there is no slowmotion or rerun like on the other shots, strange 😊, I know they use the clip in the beginning of the video but still... What a shot🎉

I've been watching pro pool all year so when I saw that I was a little taken aback but then I remembered "Yeah . Snooker"

5:00 6:33

Tbh, this was one of the best attempts for a 147 I have seen. After that spectacular black I didn't expect those misses on the yellow (that he fluked) and the miss on the green ... that black was by far more difficult than those.

not so much about cameras but mostly about video storage (and tv air) format

Back in the day we had to watch these on a black and white TV. Now _that_ was difficult.

@@KindredBrujah I remember a commentator saying, " he is playing the red ball which is next to the green " when watching in black and white, It made sense if you understood the game, but not a lot of use to people new to snooker.

No idea why she is blurred out.

You will never understand how difficult snooker is (compared to pool) until you try to play it !

it's both of the reasons you said, snooker table pockets are unforgiving, and the angle was tight, and it was from a long way, and it was also the speed in which he played it, most players would've rolled it in to give it the best chance of wiggling in

I agree. But at least Steve Davis had one shot in the video.

Glitch effect.

It must be a mistake bro... I don't think so any shot is repeated

@@Snookerhq There are a few because I watched the two videos back to back , that's how I noticed .

@@PhilipKerry oh sorry... As there were loads of shots so it could have happened

What bars you drinking at that have snooker tables?

@@lukebarton5075 plenty bro.dont you have snooker tables in bars the side?

You have to pot red - color - red - color, so you have to alternate. Reds are not coming back, colors come back while there is at least one red still on the table. Each ball has it's own points for pocketting it. One who gets more points wins the frame. That's the short summary, basically.

Finishes Oct. 2024. He owes €143,000 costs though. I don’t think he’ll be back. If he does that standard will be above what he used to.

Yes Oct, 2024*

@@johnmc3862 Yeah, I agree. Like today's banned list... what a waste of talent.

@@Snookerhq thanks

I hope he´ll come back!

I agree, Pool doesn’t even come close to the skill required to play snooker
