Ronnie O'Sullivan is the GOAT. You already admired his work.
or Jimmy White
Or Hendry
White and Hendry are both excellent players, but neither are a match for Ronnie. Just check the records if you doubt me.
The GOAT of Snooker is Ronnie O'Sullivan. You already reacted to him scoring a maximum break in record time. He's a seven time world champion and has started his campaign for a record eighth world title earlier today.
A player you ought to react to is Alex "Hurricane" Higgins. He was the first real showman of Snooker in the professional era. He's the closest thing Snooker has ever had to a rock star and he certainly lived a rock star lifestyle.
Whilst Alex had a very checkered life, there is no doubt that he popularised the game.
I like pool too. At one point I was maybe fairly good at it.
And then I got into one of only two Oxford colleges (at the time) with a full sized snooker table.
In the first week, I had a key to that room. Literally 24/7 access. And yes; I did also study. [Cough]
But it rapidly became clear to me that while I improved quite a bit, these pros are just astonishing.
The size of the table is unbelievable. This really doesn't come across in the film footage.
First you struggle to see the far pockets. Then to be able to hit the target ball. Then to get the target ball near the pocket. Then in it.
And there you think you've cracked it.
Nononononono!
The sheer wizardry the pro players achive in thinking so far ahead, and meticulously positioning every single shot and adapting to physical reality is sometimes breathtaking.
I hope you continue to enjoy watching: as with all sports, the more you find out about it, the more incredible and super-human some of the best moments become.
When you consider that the prize money for winning one of the larger tournaments (held every year) can be a half million dollars or more, then yes, it gets pretty serious.
Snooker is addictive. I'm not great but I love it and play at least a couple of times a week :)
Of the modern era it’s Ronnie O’Sullivan but snooker has had lots of greats in their time, Joe Davis was a great Steve Davis was a great Stephen Hendry was a great!
I’m sure one of the tournaments was best of 35 frames or used to be, snooker is quality!
Stephen Hendry in the 1990’s for me. But between him and Ronnie, it’s close. And they both have massive mutual respect for each other
Snooker is a great game. I’ve been a fan of it most of my life, and love everything there is to do with snooker. The best player of all time is Ronnie O’Sullivan, he has the most masters, UK and is currently competing for a record 8th world title. He turned pro in 1993 aged 17 and won the UK championship (2nd ranking event behind the Worlds) beating Stephen Hendry who at the time was completely dominant in snooker.
Whilst Ronnie O’Sullivan is a great starting point for you, there are plenty of other snooker players that can play to an extremely high level and should be explored. Judd trump, Neil Robertson, Mark Selby, Mark Williams, Jimmy White, Stephen Hendry, Mark Allen, Ding Junhui, John Higgins. Just a handful of names who are/have been great players. There are plenty more than this too.
In my experience luck is a fairly slim chance to get a win in snooker, the table is too large relative to the size of the pockets (for me !). Flukes do happen and videos of them happening when they happen can and do happen but not usually enough to sway a match (except for Luca Brecel when he won the World Championship !). A 147 is usually worth a fairly hefty prize (it has been as much as £147 k $150 + for one frame !)
The music in the background is called "Drag racer".
Tho ooin snooker is pronounced like the oo in spoon, please check out Ronnie O'Sullivan's fastest 147. Love your video's. Keep it up mate.
Never mind you did that reaction I actually watched it but didn't rember.
💯💯
ronnie o sullivan is the goat
Not sure if it dawned on you, but the table is noticeably larger than a pool table.
NOT " SNUKER" !! SNOO (as in poo ) KER !
Snooker is a great game, even if you goos at pool, this is way harder than it looks, pockets are very tight, the length of the table, a good club pool player may struggle to get 4 or 5 balls in a row, , I played pool to a very hi standard, i struggled with this, i used to play regular with the snookers players, to help there game, playing safety mainly, getting the snooker guys to think, the flip side, playing a few games of snooker, can help your pool game in short term, playing on such big table, when you come back to the pool table it has the feeling of being small, easy to pot, that soon goes after a game or two
You can't really have one GOAT. Four stand-out names:
Alex "Hurricane". Higgins (70s/80s)
Steve "Interesting" Davis (80s)
Stephen Hendry (90s)
Ronnie "The Rocket" O'Sullivan
Higgins was a flawed genius who did more to raise the profile of the game than anyone else owing to his colourful character and exciting play.
Davis was a technician who ruled his decade and raised the standard of the game. He cheerfully adopted the tongue-in-cheek nickname that had been given to him and made it his own.
Hendry was another technician who raised the standard even further and also ruled for a decade.
O'Sullivan is another flawed genius. Like Higgins, his personal demons have made him inconsistent, but when he's on form, he's sublime. Also like Higgins, he is a crowd favourite.
I agree can't really have a GOAT.
Also those were probably the best of their respective times, before them,
There was Ray Reardon, Fred Davis, John Pulman and John Spencer, they brought snooker to TV (in black & white), in the 60's.
Fred Davis was the 1st player to score a maximum at a televised event, unfortunately, his ( this) game was not televised.
Before them I think Joe Davis was great but mainly played billiards (I think billiards was the more popular game at the time , I never got to see him) he has the 1st official max (147) in 1955.
Also the tables and cues have change (improved) over the years, specially the cue extensions.
Jimmy White.
@@how2pick4name Of course you are right, but I had to limit the info. Fun fact: I live in Asia, and Jimmy did a movie for (I presume) a Hong Kong company. I watched it with English subtitles which had clearly undergone at least two transactions. Ladies and gentlemen, Jimmy White, The Swirl! :-)
@@drmikebass 😂
It’s pronounced SN OOOKER not Snucker !
This is the problem with the English language. Its spelling rules are inconsistent. We have words like “book” or “hook” and there is a fish called a “snook”, which is pronounced like book. But then we have “snooker” which you’re supposed to pronounce differently for some reason, unlike booker or hooker.
Yeah, "snoo..." as in "Snoopy"
the maximum break, is actualy 155, not that i have ever seen it happen, the reason being, you could be awarded a free ball, you take the fee ball plus the black, then 15 reds 15 blacks and all the colours, , but as said 147 is deemed to be the max break
155
I think the only players to have made it is Jamie Cope and Thepchaiya Un-nooh. But only in practice.
@@ryanrysdale2214 your right, will adjust, my amount thanks for heads up, i forgot to add the red, was think about the black 7 points lol
snOOKer like pOOl
I am HONESTLY the worst snooker player and by far the worst Golf player that ever took to the tee but I love playing the game❤❤😂😂
the most obvious difference would be the size of the table LOL
I can kinda play pool but not very well... I tried snooker once and struggled to hit the ball half the time let alone pot it.
@@gartgreenside3657 I play pool every lunch break at work. I love it
May I discourage you from betting on pool or snooker.
I've seen best friends get into physical fights because they didn't want to lose £10, especially if there's an argument over a certain rule or a questionable shot.
These people do this as career and are professionals.
Play for fun and fun you will have.
Play for money and one of you will end up resentful, even if they don't show it.
If you really feel the need to play for money make sure you have a referee.
There is no one GOAT.
It depends on the era of snooker.
Right now it's probably Ronnie O'Sullivan but Jimmy White, Steven Hendry, Steve Davis, Alex Higgins and John Higgins are all GOATs in their own right.
You can't understand how difficult this is compared to pool until you're at a table. The balls are smaller so they react different and the pockets are cut different and smaller, which makes them way more difficult as well.
The cloth has a nap to it, it's combed wool, and it runs from the baulk area to the black. That means that slow shots across the table can curve because the cloth pushes the ball towards the end of the table.
You can actually use this to get around a ball that's in the line to a side pocket. There is so much to this game.
