Do you have regular 2 1/16 size snooker balls too? It'd make the pockets easier, but would give you more space on the table. I've often wondered if it's also possible to make some little pocket pieces that could be slipped into pool table pockets to narrow them and round them for snooker. That might be a cool youtube project.
Strange because whilst the pockets are far more forgiving, the tricky thing is the limited space to use. I think that’s a very good clearance either way mate. Bravo.
Yes it is. People don't understand how hard it is to consistently get position when going back and forth between the reds and the black. On a ten foot snooker table my high break was only in the 30s to 40s (4 or 5 reds and blacks). I've recently moved to Siem Reap Cambodia, and there are many snooker clubs in town. They all have 12 foot tables, which takes the difficulty to a whole other level.
Used to play it all the time as a kid. There was a nice 12ft table close to me and I didn’t know how to play snooker (live in the US) so we’d play golf, 9 ball and 8 ball on it. Now that I’m older I wish I had played snooker when I had the chance because there isn’t a public snooker table anywhere near me anymore :(
@@jama211 you're just mad because 8 ball is nothing compared to snooker... Snooker is a game of accuracy, not luck like pool. Any snooker player will tell you there's no comparison in the skill level required. (baited :P tell me I got you a lil bit xD)
Even if this type of break is easier than on a real snooker table, it remains a very difficult exercise : bravo for this beautiful mastery of the table!!!!
Easier...??? It's not even close. There have only been 206 maximum breaks in snooker in the entire history of the game, and only 35 players in history have ever had more than one in their career.... it isn't just hard it is close to impossible. Doing it on the kids table might take me a few attempts but it is very easy in comparison to a proper table. The second red he plays hits the rail about 2ft before the pocket and still hoes in... 🤨 its massively easier.
@@christianroberts4184 Calm down bro, nobody said it was close. he said it's easier but still very difficult, which is true. Yeah the number of people who can do it on a pool table is an order of magnitude or two larger than the number who can do it on a snooker table, but that's still not very many.
@Dancindazed im passionate about it because im a snooker player, and i dont think it gets the respect it deserves.... i think it is one of the hardest things to achieve in any sport and because we make it look easy, people who have never played don't understand just how hard it is. I respect your opinion and I know i shouldn't belittle the game of pool, but i politely dissagree, it is just very easy on a 9 ball table and that is a fact, I would argue that every pro pool player would be able to do it on this table with a few attempts. Whereas there is a huge number of pro snooker players who have never had one in competition and even some that have never even had one in practice. I respect your opinion and im not a hater... pool is a great game in its own right. I hope this makes sense to you and you understand why I am passionate about it... because it is very personal to me. I will use just one player as an example, Alex Higgins, regarded as one of the greatest players of all time... never made one. There are loads more. I use Alex as an example because everyone knows who he is and he is the biggest name i can think of that has never had a maximum. Peace and love brother.
@@christianroberts4184 The fact that you'd even have to argue that every pro could do it on a pool table is the point the represents how hard it is. Something you can't even guarantee a pro can do means it's very hard. No one said it's a monumental achievement. This is a youtube streamer who did something very hard, arguably pro-level on a pool table, and you come in with your inferiority complex about snooker for no apparent reason. No one understated how big a monumental achievement a perfect frame in Snooker is, they did quite the opposite. If you want to soapbox that information, don't reply to someone being nice as if they were belittling what you're passionate about. It's not a good look, man.
Congratulations, nice accomplishment. I used to play snooker on my pool table years ago. It is an extremely difficult challenge. A frind of mine had a ten foot snooker table and we would play both snooker and nine ball. Running a rack of nine ball was pretty difficult as well. Thanks for sharing!
I would certainly need to spend a lot of time on a Snooker table, while working on my stroke. My highest break is a 96. But that was a couple of years ago when I was regularly practicing on the Snooker table in our club.
No, your estimate was not at all “correct”. Don’t lie and pretend that you meant to say he was a “50 ish level player” after obviously being proved wrong. You said he’d struggle to get a 50, then when it became clear he’s achieved much higher you pretend you weren’t talking about high break but some arbitrary typical “level”. Regardless, by your own new standards, he clearly isn’t “struggling” to get 50s if he CAN get 97, or even if he’s a “50 ish player” by your own definition.
To make it more realistic, a table that plays tighter with tight pockets where you need to be precise with long shots along the rail or cushion (those shots are hard) and smaller balls so that you have more space to play on the table. And also, a green cloth... You can watch how snooker pockets are made, they are tough. And since you would be playing with smaller balls, it would be interested if you tried to play with a snooker cue. Cheers
Honestly loved that. I don't have my own table so playing snooker here is nearly impossible. Only 2 tables within an hours drive. Was really good to see you back away from a few shots and take deep breaths to retain a calm state, something I must get better at myself. 🎱
this is the type of content i need. i used to play snooker and after coming to the US for college, i cant find any snooker clubs around me, so i just play snooker on a pool table.
never expected to ever see this kind of video before lol. but seeing you attempting a 147 on pool table makes me appreciate the 147 itself even more. both pool and snooker are amazing game but to me personally, break building in snooker is absolutely something else. break and runs in pool are amazing but to be able to clear the table with maximum point with that level of complexity is just another level. also im glad to see the standard in snooker keeps improving as we get to see more players score a maximum more regularly these days
I loved this. As a Snooker player, the thing I find most difficult with Pool is the congestion of 16 balls on a small playing surface. So do play a 22 ball frame of Snooker and score a 147 is really a feat! Well done Sir 👌
Interesting to note that your run would have been over immediately on your 1st shot after the opening break out on a real snooker table if you tried to draw the cue ball with a shot down the rail like that (at 00:36), but you could have definitely played that red in the side, and settled for a lower score (and continued your run at least). I'm not suggesting it's a skill issue, but it's genuinely not feasible to play a shot down the rail like that with pace if the pocket facing is round (and you 100% cannot cheat the pocket in this case).
It is possible, just extremely hard and you need to be absolutely millimetre perfect. I’ve seen Judd Trump somehow pot a few of those down the rail with power
Really great video! I had so much fun watching it. I can't decide if it's harder on pool table because of the less space you have or easier because the table is smaller! However we'll done mate!
Glad you enjoyed it! It's definitely easier on a pool table. Even though you have more space, which makes it easier, the sheer size of the table and the much tighter pockets make it at least 10 times more difficult.
such a interesting watch, felt like a real oxymoron because it still felt like pool in the shot choice, spin etc but it was snooker format... very interesting indeed!
absolutely amazing especially for a pool player, one thing I will say is this isn’t 20% as hard as doing it on a club snooker table let alone a professional table. Would love to see you have a good on a professional snooker table. Great video though congrats!!
Never seen a break off like that though, where just that 1 red pops out like that... amazing... Still very hard getting a 147 on this small table, so huge accomplishment, only plus is pockets are so huge gives you more opportunities..
Back in college I used to bring my snooker set (pool sized balls) to the student lounge and we would play snooker on an 8 foot table 😂 I would always do a 10 red rack so the table wouldn't be so crowded
Looks like you could easily fit a 10ft snooker table in there if a 9ft pool table fits so comfortably. I mean, you'd only be able to have the one but technically you could, and 10ft is a lovely size for snooker so long as you're not trying to actually train up seriously for match play. Just thinking out loud really, not like you'd want to sacrifice your pool table, I'm sure. Gorgeous set up anyway, man!
it's interesting how difficult it still is to do a 147 on a pool table vs a snooker table. A century would be much easier because you have so many options for colours, but if you're doing a 147 that means that any reds getting tied up to any other colours needs to be only broken out with the black with a lot of traffic, or you have to play red and break out the cluster while still getting position on the black.
Don’t wanna take anything away from your amazing break, but you’d have literally missed the first shot on a snooker table. Touching the jaws is enough to miss. That 3rd shot would’ve missed by an absolute mile. It’s a completely different animal
You say you don’t wanna take anything away then discredit him by assuming he would miss a shot that you are purely speculating on. Missed by an absolutely mile, not sure about that either given the table isn’t an absolute mile across, but anyway, you go ahead and film your 147 on a snooker table for us all to rip into.
@@MartinShapiro-v3m thank you Martin. However, my question was if an INDIVIDUAL would like to attempt an official 147 break, would that person need to set up all 15 reds behind the pink as well, or can that person just do what sharivari did (placing a red outside of the triangle). If that's okay, then where outside of the triangle does the red need to be placed?
@ Were this on a real snooker table this would be considered unofficial 147 as it’s not in a match and is more akin to a line up/ practice break. Still very impressive though, but in a match it’s significantly harder as you play safety shots
Can I ask you a questions or maybe for a new video idea ? Markings on a pool table cloth..which do you prefer and what's the reason for them? Of course the break shot dot I understand but other markings on tables..I see so many differences in tournaments..thank you so much 🤝
A first maximum recorded should always be without cuts so you can't get accused of cheating ;) then next 147 breaks can be with cuts as its already proven that you can do it :D You wouldnt be the person to cheat I feel, but remember that for future "first time achievements" . Besides that, since you actually made the bulk colours tougher as you placed them on the breakline ( they are not that far up on the 12ft tables) its actually still a good shot from brown to blue, where it usually goes wrong. So good break :) Look it up regarding the small colours. brown is not on the diagonal between corner and middlepocket. Tablefitters have been scolded for doing this drawing wrong :D and it will make splits from brown into the pack possible, where this setup almost makes that angle impossible or really tough. Love the camera quality and setup.
Due to the size of the table, this starts off really difficult with 21 object balls on the table. It gradually got easier for you as more and more reds disappeared. On a Snooker table, you have more room and you normally have a fairly easy selection of reds to begin with before it starts to get more tricky as the reds disappear. That's probably the biggest difference I noticed as an observer. Overall a 147 on a full size snooker table is much more difficult after the initial first few reds. Or at least that's how it looks to me anyway. I'm lucky if I can make a break in the 20's so what would I know! LOL!
Great video and love the idea! I was disappointed you didn't do a cannon on that 1st Black and you didn't try the Trump draw for the 3 rail shape on the last black. Still glad you got the 147 though! Who is your favorite Snooker player? Alex Higgins and O'Sullivan are almost a tie for me.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that a 155? You potted the first red that had been placed by the pack then cannoned into the 15 reds after position on the black to make 147.. that probably makes it even better. Great effort made to look easy 👏
Those three balls at the head of the table looked like they were on the head string. To more properly mimic snooker, they should be 1/5 of the table length from the short cushion, not 1/4 of that length. Great shooting either way.
@Sharivari nice work! As a follow up: how difficult do you think a 147 on a full size snooker table is, in terms of a 9ball equivalent? Obviously it's 36 pots, but I think most of us pool players would agree it's harder than breaking and running 4 racks (36 balls) in a row. I know its an apples-to-oranges comparison, but how many 9b racks in a row would a pool player have to run to approach the difficulty of a 147?
@@michaelwalters6948about 50 minimum I would say! You only have to look at the amount of frames played V maximums scored. Out of all the top snooker players. Ronnie has made 16 maxis in 13000+ frames/games of snooker. So in 13000 possible chances of making a maximum he has made 16. Now if you were to play 9 ball on a snooker table with slightly wider pockets (as American style balls wouldn't fit in snooker pockets). Then running out 20+ times would be a closer comparison

In some ways, you're more likely to get blocked mid break on a smaller table. Easier potting, but tight margins
9 ball on proper snooker table would be interesting.

@@Sharivari a break and run is going to be nearly impossible, and I wish someone would prove me wrong haha
Perhaps trying 6 ball snooker, useing less reds would make more sense for this practice. I seen it in pool halls years ago.

@ Were this on a real snooker table this would be considered unofficial 147 as it’s not in a match and is more akin to a line up/ practice break. Still very impressive though, but in a match it’s significantly harder as you play safety shots
Can I ask you a questions or maybe for a new video idea ? Markings on a pool table cloth..which do you prefer and what's the reason for them? Of course the break shot dot I understand but other markings on tables..I see so many differences in tournaments..thank you so much 🤝
Much easier than snooker but still a good break.
A first maximum recorded should always be without cuts so you can't get accused of cheating ;) then next 147 breaks can be with cuts as its already proven that you can do it :D You wouldnt be the person to cheat I feel, but remember that for future "first time achievements" . Besides that, since you actually made the bulk colours tougher as you placed them on the breakline ( they are not that far up on the 12ft tables) its actually still a good shot from brown to blue, where it usually goes wrong. So good break :) Look it up regarding the small colours. brown is not on the diagonal between corner and middlepocket. Tablefitters have been scolded for doing this drawing wrong :D and it will make splits from brown into the pack possible, where this setup almost makes that angle impossible or really tough. Love the camera quality and setup.
Due to the size of the table, this starts off really difficult with 21 object balls on the table. It gradually got easier for you as more and more reds disappeared.
On a Snooker table, you have more room and you normally have a fairly easy selection of reds to begin with before it starts to get more tricky as the reds disappear.
That's probably the biggest difference I noticed as an observer. Overall a 147 on a full size snooker table is much more difficult after the initial first few reds. Or at least that's how it looks to me anyway. I'm lucky if I can make a break in the 20's so what would I know! LOL!
Hi! Great video! What cue are you using?
Thanks! I am using a JFlowers cue with SMO shaft. Links are in the video description.
Great video and love the idea! I was disappointed you didn't do a cannon on that 1st Black and you didn't try the Trump draw for the 3 rail shape on the last black. Still glad you got the 147 though! Who is your favorite Snooker player? Alex Higgins and O'Sullivan are almost a tie for me.
Haha, awesome, man. I've been an O'Sullivan fan since I was a little kid watching him on TV.
@@Sharivari Thanks for responding keep up the great content! Good luck with snooker!
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that a 155? You potted the first red that had been placed by the pack then cannoned into the 15 reds after position on the black to make 147.. that probably makes it even better. Great effort made to look easy 👏
Those three balls at the head of the table looked like they were on the head string. To more properly mimic snooker, they should be 1/5 of the table length from the short cushion, not 1/4 of that length. Great shooting either way.
Tried before, actually difficult for 147 or even a century as the table is small you need to control the white ball very carefully.
Imagine if there were 12 foot pool tables, which you could then play snooker on with these pool balls. That would be great
Very impressive. How many attempts did this take?
@@IntenseSarcasm Thanks! Took me around 90 minutes, probably around 15 attempts.
@Sharivari nice work! As a follow up: how difficult do you think a 147 on a full size snooker table is, in terms of a 9ball equivalent? Obviously it's 36 pots, but I think most of us pool players would agree it's harder than breaking and running 4 racks (36 balls) in a row. I know its an apples-to-oranges comparison, but how many 9b racks in a row would a pool player have to run to approach the difficulty of a 147?
@@michaelwalters6948about 50 minimum I would say! You only have to look at the amount of frames played V maximums scored. Out of all the top snooker players. Ronnie has made 16 maxis in 13000+ frames/games of snooker. So in 13000 possible chances of making a maximum he has made 16. Now if you were to play 9 ball on a snooker table with slightly wider pockets (as American style balls wouldn't fit in snooker pockets). Then running out 20+ times would be a closer comparison
Nice🎉
Thanks!
GENIO!!!
Really impressive - got a like 'n' sub out of me. Was this the first time you achieved this? If not how close had you previously come? Good job
Thanks! Tried it a couple of months ago for an hour. Closest I got there was to the last red.
A form of snooker i could actually play😂
😂
