Hello from Texas, USA. I found your channel nearly 3 months ago and have been enjoying every upload. Great content all around! I currently in APA but have been wanting to transition to snooker for a while. Keep up the great work and stay safe during the pandemic.
Rob Mckennie I know that but heat will be created during collisions which can deform them. To prove heat is generated, take 2 steel balls and a sheet of paper, fold the sheet of paper in half and unfold so it can stand, then with the 2 steel balls whack them against each other with the sheet of paper in between, a hole will be made obviously but you will also get a burning smell
There are actually coin operated snooker tables, I know because I've played on one. The colours are slightly smaller, the same as the cue ball, so they always return after potting them. Not ideal I know, but they do exist.
It would be possible to make the colored balls with the metal layer so they return, but have the electromagnets switch off when it is time to pot the colors. This could be done with color-sensing optos at each pocket, or by having all the reds funnel to a central storage line and using a switch to detect when it is full.
That was interesting, entertaining fun to watch. I always wondered how cue balls made their way out separated. I used to be in a snooker team. I wish I had seen your videos back then.
You just need to stand next to a pocket when your opponent is playing. The white may be dropping without you touching it. ;-) ... Anyways this vid reminds me of a (very) old mission impossible episode where they replaced the balls with some remote controllable ones with gyroscopes inside. At that time it was pure fiction. But nowadays it should be possible.
Not sure what the point was ,but quite good fun to watch .Dropping the cue ball from the magnet over the table is not a great idea could have easily chipped the cut of the slate on the pocket .
every coin table I've played on in the US uses a slightly larger cue ball and a rail that the regular balls can run on, while the cue ball is pushed off by an obstruction to separate them.
Shady the reason for the metallic content of a snooker cue ball is that there is a Lead additive in the ball to improve its durability due to continuous focused impact due to the impact of the cue tip. Over time the cue ball yellows this is the lead additives degradation which also results in the weight decreasing of the cue ball and by virtue a reduction in size although the latter two are quite negligible in comparison to the yellowing which is always apparent.
Amazing! It only took a special ball and a magnet for our favourite snooker youtuber to get extremely excited! Such a change from the usual calm demeanour!
If the magnet was the same colour as the clothe and you had your camera angel right, you will be able to make some very interesting paranormal activity videos 🤔 👻 😲 🙄 Adrian from New Zealand

Great video. I remember about 35 years ago playing on a coin operated snooker table in Carraroe, Co. Galway. The colours would keep coming out until all the reds were potted. It was the one and only time i ever saw a coin operated snooker table
the most obvious attempt to hit the 10 minute mark ive ever seen. Asking the same question multiple times super long winded, unneeded examples and a video time one second over 10 min
4:50 - No one bothers trying to make a mechanised snooker table because of all the rules surrounding foul shots. A player fouls; pots a red and the other player want the balls replaced. You can't do that if you can't retrieve the red. I've played on plenty of coin operated snooker tables, but that's usually because you play in a dark room where you need to insert money in the machine to keep the lights on.
In 1998, I travelled to Le Havre, France. One evening we were in a bar, and there was a coin-operated snooker game (but the table was pool-sized). Not sure how it worked. There was a major flaw. It was designed to keep the colours only after all the reds were potted. We didn't know. I potted the last red, then a colour. If we'd had time for another game, we'd have caught one of the reds and retained it until the end of the game.
Placing several magnets inside the slate and marking these spots on the cloth might result in a whole new game with ability to make some really weird, but fun pots!
You bored mate? 🤣🤣 Dunoon, Scotland.
I’ll let you see what I’ve come up with for next week before I answer that
Exactly my thought. Fun though. Greetings from the Philippines ❤️
Can't wait. Am sure it will be entertaining as always.
Your passion is really inspiring I really loved this video

damn man, wasn’t expecting such a good content when i clicked on this video. well done!
So that's where the change went out of my pocket.
I never thought of that. Could have used it to get the money in the first place
@@Breakfromlife theres still plenty of the old coin tables around with the defect insert mech. to retrieve your money surprisingly
Recently stared watching your channel from Gulfport, Mississippi, USA. Keep up the good work. Very enjoyable!
a good ball bearing won't deform over time, the steel is _incredibly_ hard, designed to support thousands of kilos of force, at high speed
It would deform a bit over time due to heat from collisions.
@@Deafeatist steel is going to be much more resistant to that than snooker balls

@@Deafeatist that's a really cool story bro
Love ur videos!!

@@maxington26 It was in the Streetbridge Inn Pub in Manchester. Don't think they have it there now, but I haven't been there for some time.
Imagine playing snooker like this with say 5 or 6 magnets in specific spots, the things people would learn to do would be amazing
I have always found your videos to have magnetic quality to them. Keep up the good work.
Try the furniture polish on the cueball. Instantly more reactive.
He is on the silver, but unfortunately the silver cue ball is snookered behind the silver.
Hi I’m a new subscriber from Huddersfield,West Yorkshire
Great passion and great explanations, greetings from Bologna italy
That was me shooting at 5:28 and 9:19 mate 👍😎. This was very entertaining and interesting. Thumbs up from me.
From Southern California USA.👍😎.

Your videos are making lockdown more bearable. I miss my snooker club so much 😭 Thank you for saving me. John ... Liphook, Hampshire
you give off the exact same energy as GeoWizard
Anyone else take in the music that starts at 4:20 is from the game "Treasure of Nadia" lol
Hey from Cambridgeshire, uk. Such a great and fun video to watch as always. Your table actually looks amazing to play on.
Great channel, great fun. One question. Should you or should you not feather the cue ball
You probably should although it doesn’t usually look like I’m doing it at all
Quality content. Subscribed. Greetings from Malaysia!
Greetings from Plovdiv, Bulgaria! :)
When magnet fishing and snooker comes together 🥰👍.

I know I tried it 3 times with polystyrene round the pocket and on the table and got it every time. But was genuinely scary doing it for real
I love watching youu brother....lots of love from Nepal,Asia.....i just love playing snooker and watching your cool videos...keep uploading 🤩😘
This is a really fun one 👍

Can you get any screwback using the slightly larger cueball?
Yes but not as much and it goes forwards a bit first
greetings from Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India! You make everything related to snooker fun! I never miss any of your videos! keep up the good Work!
Love watching your videos. I look forward to each one. Brad from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada
Greetings from Marburg, Germany 😎
John from Athens, Greece I love your videos. Keep doing what you do.
Brilliant video. Reminded me of John Virgo on big break when I was a kid. All the best from Rhondda Cynon Taff - South Wales.
If you reversed the magnet and put it in the back of the pocket then you couldn't in-off right?
Amazing! It only took a special ball and a magnet for our favourite snooker youtuber to get extremely excited! Such a change from the usual calm demeanour!
hello from Ontario Canada I enjoy your videos great lessons keep up the good work
So creative man, well done!😊
Hi I’m Sam from the Isle of Wight, can I get a cheeky pin? Great vids
Why🖑 you 🖐use ✋your✋ hand👋 after 👐every 🖖word🤘 you☝ speak🖑? Except when you're playing a shot. It's just so funny .

Love your videos! Charlie from Winnipeg, Canada.
Such a great video!

Snooker balls or billiard balls should have QR code. So when they enter the pocket it will be scan for what value the ball has...

I know a chap who went magnet fishing and found a gun from the River Lagan in Belfast - it ended up solving a murder......random story of the week! 😀
brilliant content. support all the way from *kenitra MOROCCO*
I bet my house this small magnet can't lift 230 kilograms^^ you must have got something mixed up:)
Two years late but you're a killing floor 2 player? Hahaha. I'm referring to the slow mo sound in the intro
Great video. I remember about 35 years ago playing on a coin operated snooker table in Carraroe, Co. Galway. The colours would keep coming out until all the reds were potted. It was the one and only time i ever saw a coin operated snooker table
If you use a fishing magnetic... I think people might notice it..so you'll have to use it when nobody is looking!! :o)
It's great to see how enthusiastic that magnet makes you. The airshot was brilliant as was the invisible man black!
4:20 What a nice background sound ) reminds me Treasure Of Nadia ) do you know what track it was?
How far does a player walk during an average competition? The winner would be a better option.
Very detailed. Greetings from a portuguese in Duisburg, Germany
the most obvious attempt to hit the 10 minute mark ive ever seen. Asking the same question multiple times super long winded, unneeded examples and a video time one second over 10 min
It's been proved if the magnet 🧲 is strong enough then anything becomes attracted to the magnet 🧲 metal or not
Good information ... Thanks from

Anyone else get a vibe of Clarkson from old top gear when listening to the commentary here?

It was quite nice playing snooker on a pool table. It meant a mediocre player like me could get pretty decent breaks.

Great vid hello from Meath Ireland
John Higgins approves of this.
I posted a new ronnie snooker video mate

In Australia, we have coin-operated snooker tables, but its paid by the hour and the lights turn off when time is up.
That’s just a time operated light. The whole world has them

What was the point of this video
Anyone see that Mission Impossible where Barney was given like a 25% advantage with a remotely controlled cue ball?
Placing several magnets inside the slate and marking these spots on the cloth might result in a whole new game with ability to make some really weird, but fun pots!
Why is this video so long?
Same side and way
Utterly irrelevant and equally brilliant--I enjoyed every second of that!! Well done. :)
