    Babe, wake up, it's that time of the year to binge watch Snooker highlight videos all night, and then never think about the game again.

    To future players. As my father taught me, I will share his advice. Play 8ball with regulation size balls on a snooker table. Once I was good at 8 ball on a snooker table, bar and regulation tables were nothing. Reasons are the pockets are smaller on a snooker table and area is much larger. It accelerated the development of my eye. Good luck

      @@asiseeit2041 so your playing on a snooker table with 2 1/4inch balls. That would help alot although the rail heights may affect your feel of bounces as it would react different. I only asked cos uk pool is played with balls under 2 inches smaller than snooker balls so would actually make it slightly easier. Good strategy though. And yes the pockets are tight as hell on snooker tables.

      For every red ball
      You can shoot a color
      Black is the highest score
      Thats why they always go for red black red black.....
      Colors return after you make the shot. Exept when all the red balls are gone. But when you can't make a shot you want to give your opponent a impossible shot. So you put the white ball behind a color because you need to score or touch a red ball first. I played some tournaments when i was young. It's a fantastic game

      He will lose the frame as his opponent has already more points than him even if ronnie pots both pink(6 point) and black(7 point). So he needs a snooker, thats why he was putting the cue behind the black ,if his opponent fails to hit the pink then there will be 6 or 7 penalty points

    Hay I am not snooker or billiards player. If you want to chest, wear a heavy wrist band and biceps band. And hit the ball as fast as possible. Make the cue (hitting stick, is that what it is called?) with high moment of inertia from the point of grip so it won't twist. If there are restrictions on what to wear, then wear them during training and not during testing.---suggestions by physics nerd.

      Total bollocks. Suggest you pick up a cue then in 20 years when you have the experience and skill you might understand why what you wrote is nonsense.
      By the way, power is produced by the shoulder and elbow not the biceps. If you force the shot you WILL miss. There is no twisting in a cue it is manufactured to make twisting impossible but you don’t know what you’re talking about so obviously that is why your comment was pure sewage. A two year old could do better.

      For some they missed the real skill in the shot. To double a ball the length of the table is one thing but to generate the power needed to keep the backspin alive to the point of contact is truly impressive and to cap it off he managed to judge the spin loss over 10 feet to end plum on the black.
      I remember Davis trying to replicate that shot, he managed to pot the pink once in 25 attempts but never managed to keep the spin on the cue ball once.

      @irieite9666 2 місяці тому

      The 15 red balls are worth 1 point each. The coloured balls are worth
      2pts yellow
      3pts green
      4pts brown
      5pts blue
      6pts pink
      7pts black.
      You cannot pot a coloured ball without first potting a red ball on your previous shot unless there are no red balls remaining
      IE (Red, Black, Red, Black, Red, Pink and so forth)
      Coloured balls get replaced by the referee until there are no red balls left, then they need to be Potted in order
      Yellow, green, brown, Blue, pink, Black
      The maximum score is achieved by potting 15 Red then black combos followed by all the coloured balls in order...
      TLDR : Search Ronnie O Sullivan fastest 147 to see how it's done

      Anyway, I would love to learn how to play snooker one day. I’ve played a lot of pool, and except for the larger table and numberless balls, it seems relatively similar.

      Gary lost out again last week in Manchester against Ronnie when the referee could him for hitting the pink before it hit the red. Admittedly it was close but frame-by-frame replay showed he did hit the red first. He ended up losing the match. Feeling a bit bad for the guy...

    • @mikeorgan1993
      @mikeorgan1993 6 місяців тому +1

      hundreds actually. I was watching snooker when John Virgo was competing, he only started commentating when he retired from the table.
      Historically the voice of snooker was Ted Lowe who was the first TV commentator and went on to be the lead for the BBC from 1969 to 1996, 27 years. His almost hypnotic voice made the game what it is today.
      And sorry when it came to humour Virgo is boring compared to Lowe, those who heard him will never forget his famous joke in pot black "for those with black and white TVs the pink is next to the brown".

    You are obviously way to young. Alex Higgins and Jimmy White had some amazing shots. I think Alex Higgins shot (although a fluke of a ball bobbling out of the pocket and rolling along the top of the cushion into the middle pocket beets any of those for the cue power alone.

    • @mikeorgan1993
      @mikeorgan1993 6 місяців тому

      Alex was an enigma. I truly beleive if the guy had managed to keep off the bottle he would have been unbeatable. My favorite was the long double at speed on the pink to lie on the last red at the same end. It required amazing accuracy and backspin maintained from one end of the table to the other, that takes enourmous power.
