Several brilliant snooker shots by Ronnie O'Sullivan, Judd Trump, Jimmy White, Shaun Murphy, Mark Selby and more snooker players Video courtensy FRI.TV #homeofsnooker
That century break by Martin Gould is unbelievable. Every time I watch it I think these shots are incredible especially that red that flies down the coushin and the fluke on the blue which isn't shown here are amazing. The double on that brown from John Higgins is probably the best pressure pot as well. Great video
I used to play but I no longer do. The eyesight is not what it should be any more. One of the things I noticed when I did play though was the difference between the accomplished players and the average player. Average players tend to take what is available to them and then pray that the rebound will give them something else to shoot at. Accomplished players learn to look at the balls and see the possibilities and ball interactions. They know what type of spin to introduce to increase their possibilities of making the shots. Not to take away from the accomplished players because they do spend many many hours practicing and experimenting but the major reason that they are so successful at what they do is the constant experimentation coupled with the ability to see and know the possibilities. You might try a shot a hundred times before you actually make it but it's the fact that you knew it was possible. A perfect example of this is shown at 7:27. Murphy knows that if he hits the cue ball with right hand spin that when it first hits the rail at a very slight angle it will continue down the table until it hits the second rail at a sharp angle and will kick back towards the red hanger in the side pocket. Yes, it is a very marginal shot and the chances are slim but imagine if you were playing him and saw it happen how you would feel even if he didn't make it. The fact that he saw it is enough to make many opponents quit. O'Sullivan saw it and knew it was possible so it was no surprise but the crowd of rubes were impressed to the point they would probably never get on the table against Murphy. The simple fact that you saw the shot and tried it is often enough to cow a lesser player into giving up and just go through the motions which allows you to win. More than once I took a game by simply seeing and trying a shot my opponent did not see. I didn't have to make it, I just had to show it. There was more than one game won when I saw it, tried it, and saw the "Aw Sh*t" look pass over my opponents face. The trick to getting good is to constantly play better players and lose but watch, study and retain what you see them do and then practice it and use it in your own game. When you start to consistently match or beat those players it is time to move up a tier to the next level of opponent to keep learning and developing your skills. One of my fondest moments when I still played was the first time my opponent reached over with his cue and put the object ball of my next shot in the pocket for me thereby ceding the game to me. I might have missed but he knew that he was outmatched and just gave up.
I’m sorry to be so rude, but could someone explain to me what condition Alex has at the end? Very new to snooker, if he can make those two shots at the end with a handicap, I’m sorry but I just don’t believe what I saw.
@@JohnSmith-lm5hk He wasn't completely sober aye (; Though heard that's when he's in his best groove. I can relate a bit, having thrown better games of darts with a little stimulation. Puts you in a different/deeper kind of focus I guess..
It's an amazing video, but snooker needs commentators. I mean, every time I see that Shaun Murphy shot in the end, I hear JV's commentary. Still, fantastic compilation.
0:25 White's shot is especially good and unusual as he didn't need to play it that way and he hadn't already won the frame - why did he? - because he could!
Only 3 players Alex, and currently Ronnie & Williams play so called exhibition shots while the frame isn't won yet! I think that makes them extra special. Others play them to clear tables at the end of frames when the frame is over.
Surely they could have found a better example of Alex Higgins, something from a match at a crucial stage rather than a setup exhibition shot that was recorded for a Trick Shot video, where if he didn't get it they'd either just not have included it in the video or they'd have let him have a re-take.
McGill's shots @0:12 and @3:27 are the best ones for me, both brilliantly played and at crucial stages of the respective matches. The other ones are good too, but most of them are under no pressure for the frame/match.
I might be remembering wrong, but the one against Wilson, didn't they both have a couple of attempts at that before McGill eventually got it? The pot against Lisowski was incredible under the circumstances.
What is it that makes you want to hate so much? Genuinely curious to see what it is because all of your favourites think ronnie is the goat but you feel the need to hate on him
Easy Snooker l say this because he didn't even look at that pocket, seemed more focused on the other red for the middle. His body language after the shot seemed unnatural too. If he did attempt this then it's truly a great shot.
Home of Snooker he looks at the red but not at the pocket, I'm still not convinced. I remember watching that match and my opinion hasn't changed since then, maybe lim just becoming more stubborn as my age increases.😊
@@hudsonsoul1121 Dude snooker players, especially someone like Ronnie, has a much better feel for the table and where the pockets are. He doesn't need to look at where the pocket is, just where to hit the ball. Also if he tried it to the middle, why would he check with his cue how the 2nd red would go afterwards?
Also the pace he hit the shot at, almost perfect speed for the red to go in. There are so many things for why this was an intended shot:) But you keep your opinion, could of course still be a fluke

No No No thats ufair . where Mark williams shots . he played some briliant shots and one is best he canon the red with black . these are not great shots
Stephen Hendry probably the greatest player of all time...yes better than O'Sullivan and hes not even got one shot in this list. Scandolous. Unfollowing this channel now
Calm down. The title is not "THE ONLY 25 shots we love snooker for". Take your partisanship to football where it's better suited. Although I do share your love for Hendry's game.
for me Murphy's spin at end of the vid is the best n incredible
I consider Ronnie the greatest ever. But Alex Higgins, that man is just pure sensation.
so great to see the video finishing on the snooker's greatest sensation ever to come Alex Higgings RIP
After R?
Higgins was a crackhead and garbage human being

It's funny that Martin Gould made a century with a fluke on blue. I wanted to add this to the video, but I ended up forgetting for some reason lool
Thank you for the video, man😉👍
Ornaya thing of course. But it is our only chance, if you know what I mean :)
Thanks a lot, dude! 😍
Alex Higgins, the legend that made snooker.
@Fanny On my face To say that is false shows you know nothing of the history of snooker.
@@johnp515 his name says it all , a tool
That Trump's banana rail power shot is so unbelievable that even Judd was impressed :D
That Alex Higgins one hits differently.
7:29 side cushion,top cushion lots of right hand side this is risky...
Fantastic collection! Every shot! ❤️
Thanks :)

Did you see Alex Higgins' brilliant shot in the video?
Best shot ever❤️❤️🔥🔥
I think I have already watched over 500 times in different vids but still counting
@@tsangching1128 And I surprisingly only recently discovered it for myself
@@homeofsnooker147 never too late , cheers
And the alex long crazy blue pot 🤪
In the end Alex higgins is incredible 😁
Oooh yeah!
he called the black in the middle one handed before attempting the pink
I’m sorry to be so rude, but could someone explain to me what condition Alex has at the end? Very new to snooker, if he can make those two shots at the end with a handicap, I’m sorry but I just don’t believe what I saw.

@@JohnSmith-lm5hk Definitely pretty pissed,
possibly a little coked up, but simply 100% Legend! 😃
Alex Higgins, what a legend!
Shame he was such a pass head.
Truly the One & Only
2:52 No more power than absolutely necessary.
'that is perfect, what a shot left handed'
R.I.P all left handed players that have done near that same shot 🪦🥀
but he's right handed lol
“ If u believe it you can do all sorts” Alex Higgins
Ronnie control the cue ball like a maestro
RIP Willie Thorne
LOL - Day's look at 4:10 is priceless .. "ooh, you #%$#%$ Ronnie".
It's an amazing video, but snooker needs commentators. I mean, every time I see that Shaun Murphy shot in the end, I hear JV's commentary. Still, fantastic compilation.
WHERES THE CUE BALL GOING
“Top cushion, side cushion, lots of right hand side”
That by Alex Higgins at the end is what made this video.
Alex higgins is a magician , without questions , but Judd trump power ball with a unnormal handbrake on the position is out of world
0:25 White's shot is especially good and unusual as he didn't need to play it that way and he hadn't already won the frame - why did he? - because he could!
Great video, as always. thanks
Thanks a lot for your support :)
Only 3 players Alex, and currently Ronnie & Williams play so called exhibition shots while the frame isn't won yet! I think that makes them extra special. Others play them to clear tables at the end of frames when the frame is over.
4:53. Try to f**king snooker me, will yah!
Super compilation!
Thanks a lot for your support, man :)
What an ending too.
People not applauding on the 1st shot are just useless and inexperienced audiences..
Trump 6:30 what??
If you can believe it , you can do all sorts .
some of shots are very ordinary !
should not be included in this
"After all my years in the game I seen something new".
Surely they could have found a better example of Alex Higgins, something from a match at a crucial stage rather than a setup exhibition shot that was recorded for a Trick Shot video, where if he didn't get it they'd either just not have included it in the video or they'd have let him have a re-take.
Before about 6 months ago all I knew of Snooker was from the sketch from That Mitchell and Webb Look. “ Ooh and that’s a bad miss.”
Drunk Higgins was epic!
8:30 8:31 🤗
Everything is OK but selby is selby
Who was the last guy! Who spotted black in the centre!?
for me Murphy's spin at end of the vid is the best n incredible
Mark selby pure class ❤
@7:30 Murphy Vs O'Sullivan...
Last one and the murphy was fantastic
Where's Jimmy's Masse shot against Ronnie
My favorite at the end, the Hurricane.
Only mark Williams shot is missing
Saved the best for last
Can you please make a video of how Ronnie O"sullivan won 4 Welsh Open tournaments, and the tournament path to the trophy of this tournament?
I was just planning such a video. So it will be much earlier if there is such a request :)
McGill's shots @0:12 and @3:27 are the best ones for me, both brilliantly played and at crucial stages of the respective matches. The other ones are good too, but most of them are under no pressure for the frame/match.

Good selection
another o'sullivan fanboy video

That last one... wtf
What so special about the 1st shot?
It was at the World Championships in the decider, after an hour frame under pressure
I swear Ronnie didn't play that shot intentionally at 1.05.
Easy Snooker l say this because he didn't even look at that pocket, seemed more focused on the other red for the middle. His body language after the shot seemed unnatural too. If he did attempt this then it's truly a great shot.
@@hudsonsoul1121 This is a well-planned strike. At 1:03 he looks how red will go after canon with another red. I am convinced :)
Home of Snooker he looks at the red but not at the pocket, I'm still not convinced. I remember watching that match and my opinion hasn't changed since then, maybe lim just becoming more stubborn as my age increases.😊

I dont think Ronnie could have done those last 2 shots
Oh maybe not but Higgins didn’t have winning mentality as Ronnie
Murphy's shot a little over rated? I'd say all of the other shots are harder (even if they don't look as sexy)
Snooker would be a very exciting sport if every snooker player plays like Efren Reyes...
American pool is bollox tho, compared to snooker which is a lot harder
No No No thats ufair .
where Mark williams shots .
he played some briliant shots and one is best he canon the red with black .
these are not great shots
