Alex Higgins' ridiculous shot on the blue playing against Jimmy White is arguably the greatest shot ever made in professional snooker. He went on to win that frame and the match in the final frame with a 16-15 victory, followed by a victory over the legendary Ray Reardon in the final (who had previously beaten Higgins in the 1976 World Championship). That was the 1982 World Championship.

Most snooker shots, as in many sports, are foreseeable with a little knowledge and experience of the contest. Shaun Murphy's unbelievable pot - the very first of this video - was imagination of a professional competitor in true world class. Completely refreshing, whether you've watched snooker all your life, or simply have the character to recognise sporting brilliance - when you witness it. A moment of sheer, improvised magic.

Semi outside perspective here. I'm a pool player, I don't play snooker but I really enjoy 9 ball. A lowly 5, a peasant in the eyes of most pool pros, but I can honestly say that having not grown up watching snooker. I can still see the pure skill and competitiveness when I do watch snooker. it's more than just a good eye, and steady hand when playing any form of billiards.

The magnificence of a shot can also be judged by whether other pros are able to replicate it. Id say that Alex Higgins' prodigious blue on the old slow tables is the most unreproducible shot here, and there are several amazing ones.

@freyc1 Жыл бұрын

I guess you underestimate the difficulty of reproducing Maguire's shot! More seriously, I don't think Higgins' shot is that difficult to reproduce for the pros (they showed some of them trying a while ago and they tended to overdo it, if anything). Plus Higgins didn't really mean to play the shot that way. That being said, that break is great to watch for the series of hard pots, although his positional game is all over the place.

@sirlordcomic 11 ай бұрын

@@freyc1 He clearly meant to play it that way. Replicating any shot for fun is possible for a group of pros after the event. Higgins played the shot under immense pressure in a world championship semi-final game. No other shot comes close. Also he was drunk, making it even more impressive.

And I never said it wasn't a great pot, especially under the circumstandes : I responded to someone saying it was the most unreproducible shot in the video.

@castleanthrax1833 Жыл бұрын

I think those "long straight pots" were included because they were great examples of "cueing power". It wasn't the pot per se, that was incredible, but the backspin on the cue ball, which is part of the shot.

@goffik1980 11 ай бұрын

It's easy to say a shot isn't that amazing when you're not the one pulling it off, and have little knowledge of what it takes to do so. Making something difficult look easy is the true sign of a pro. Extremely long shots that require massive power and clinical cue ball control are far, far from easy... which is why the ex-pro commentators react the way they do.

I have watched thousands of top quality snooker shots over the years. IMO the unfashionable Peter Edbon's pink ball was THE GREATEST SHOT EVER IN THE HISTORY OF SNOOKER, because of the context. Semi-final of the World Championships, if he missed he was out of the tournament. This shot inspired him to comeback and win the match against the odds and then do exactly the same in the final in the deciding frame against Stephen Hendry, one of the all time greats and become World Champion! Peter Ebdon, often gets slated by SOME of the snooker world for being a slow and deliberate player, but he was someone who did not have the natural talent of say a Jimmy White, however, he absolutely maximised his potential with his incredible attitude and application. He left the game of snooker not only being able to say "I won the world title" but also being able to say "I once played probably the best shot in the history of the game!". Well done Peter Ebdon!
