Around 3:40 you're talking about the flow state; the zone. The best players are able to go there more often and also stay there for the longest duration. THAT is a human trait that can't be as easily leveled up as a technical skill. I think this goes for most people at the top of the heap, almost regardless of which sport 🙂 The ability to focus for an extended period is more innate to some humans than others. Ronnie is a prime example of that, but he is not unparalleled by any stretch of the imagination. But as far as his technique goes, he IS unparalleled IMO.
Take care, Buddy!
Like Angelina Jordan!!
@@NAIATHEDRAGON That's right🔥🔥🔥
He's a quick sighter of the ball, so he's never rushed. He looks fast to us, but to him it's in slow motion. A rare talent to be sure. & there's a lot of talented younger snooker players who can play quick like him, but it's forced, which is why they can't intensify their concentration under pressure the way that Ronnie does. With Ronnie, his speed is completely natural. This video is actually 27 years old. He won his 7th world title a couple of years ago at 46 years of age - & he won yet another major title this year at the age of 48. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still be winning titles when he's in his 50s. The guy is a freak. It's a shame the US doesn't play this game. Maybe some enterprising guy will open a snooker hall over there to get the ball (pun intended) rolling..
147!
Bear in mind the commentators that are 'blown away' are ex World champions!
Ronnie is The GOAT
🔥🔥🔥
one of them is
£147,000 in 1997.A massive amount of money
At the time it was covered by an insurance policy because it was so unlikely.
The umbrella term is "billiards" or "cue sports".
Snooker and pool are two varieties (amongst others) of billiards. 🙂
Just to nip this in the bud, it's pronounced SNOOK-er, not snuck-er. The first syllable rhymes with Luke, not with look.
Depends on your accent. Just don't call it Pool, is all!
Welsh players might disagree!
It will always be stick ball to me.
Cliff thorburn would disagree
I always use the snoopy reference for Americans
Pockets on a snooker table are tiny compared to the buckets on a pool table.
It's nice to see more Americans reacting to snooker. But I wish they'd learn the basics of the game beforehand. Because a lot are reacting to this clip, but if you don't know the game you can't fully appreciate how amazing this is. And I say that as a relatively recent American convert, it doesn't take long to get the basics.
The scariest thing is there has been only 13 147's at the crucible World championship. It's on its 48th year. This happened 27 years ago and really it will never be beaten. Probably the most incredible skillful 5 minutes of sport ever.
Not a pool stick it's a snooker cue
So glad you are reacting to snooker. I am a complete snooker nut, loved the game for 20 years. A 147 is always special every time they are made, which is fairly rare. Snooker is a very calm game, very therapeutic, but on a button can put you on the edge of your seat. You should look at the 1985 world snooker final. The final frame. One of the most watched sporting moments on British tv.
I love you brother, we should all uncompromisingly love each other. .. .. .. ..
Keep saying snucker and I'll burn your house down.
To put it in perspective it's a bowler doing ten matches in a row 9:14
Yeah "snucker" is exactly the same as pool except it isn't, Gotta love Yanks , Right?
Its SNOOKER not POOL
we play pool in the uk too, its just an arcade thing, or sometimes you'll set up the snooker table for pool. A snooker table is much larger though. In snooker watch the white balls its just as important and 'potting the ball' (thats what its called btw) because you need to move it to set you up for your next shot, you plan multiple shots ahead sometimes. At 5:35 in the video watch how he screws the white to break up the reds. Darts is another massive sport like snooker than americans dont really know about.
Maby i'll give snooker a try!
@@NAIATHEDRAGON You should!! Get into this game, and I guarantee your pool will improve immeasurably. As the writer of the original message says, one thing notably different to pool is the almost magical cue-ball control these pros have in combination with near perfect potting techniques. They generally have the table and ball positions mapped out in their heads, several shots in advance. Apply that concept to pool, and no-one will touch you..
snooker = sn- oo-ker
"oo" as in pool
In the most basic description a snooker match is made up of games known as ‘frames’. Each frame begins with what are referred to as ‘the colours’ or coloured balls these are the Yellow, Green, Brown, Blue, Pink and Black. It also starts with 15 red balls. The premise is simple, score more points than your opponent.
Each sustained period of point scoring is called a break, while there are red balls on the table a break HAS TO start with a red ball (worth 1 point) immediately followed by one of ‘the colours’ which are all worth a different amount of points. The ideal break would be red ball followed by black ball as the black is with the most points (7), Pink 6, Blue 5, Brown 4, Green 3 and Yellow 2. Once all reds have been downed we’re left with just ‘the colours’ which have to be potted in strict value order, lowest to highest (yellow, followed by green and so on), however, if you’ve reached a point in the frame where you are leading your opponent by more points THAN ARE LEFT then the colours don’t have to be downed (potted) to finish a frame. In the case of a maximum break there are 15 reds in the table (so that’s 15 points) which you then have to follow by 15 blacks (15x7= 105 points) followed by all the ‘colours’ which have a combined value of 27 points, add that altogether and you get 147!!
The game is way more complicated than that though, far more tactical than you might think. Apart from trying to outscore your opponent a big part of the game is tactical ‘safety’ or what you might call defensive play where rather than potting balls to score points you try and stop your opponent getting an opportuniy. The ultimate defensive or safety shot is actually called a ‘snooker’ where you’ve placed the cue ball behind another ball blocking your opponent’s path to an object ball. This presents your opponent with several problems, first he has to find a path from behind the ball that has him snookered (this will very often involving him sending the cue ball around the table by bouncing off the side cushion in the hope of striking a red, if only the colours are left then he has to strike whichever lowest value colour is left. For example if you are snookered and only the green, brown, blue, pink and black balls remain your object ball will be the green.
If you do ‘escape’ from a snooker and don’t get penalised for either missing the object ball or hitting one of the others the other challenge is not leaving your opponent an opportunity to start scoring again.
There are so many variables in a frame of snooker besides just downing or potting balls to earn points.
Massive amounts of various skills and tactics and MENTAL strength required. The likes of Ronnie though on occasion make it look RIDICULOUSLY easy 😊
Snooker tables are massive, much bigger than they look on screen. There are even special extension tools which the players sometimes need to reach difficult balls at a distance. Which makes what Ronnie did so impressive.
Pool is a bar game. Snooker is a sport 😃💫 all good
Yeah?? Is that right?? I strongly disagree 🙂 But I DO see what you mean though. You rarely see a snooker table in a bar. I have been competing in pool at the highest level here in Norway and have also played on the Eurotour, so I just HAD to object a little. Pool at its highest level is just as precise and refined as Snooker IMO. Btw, I watched this frame live back in the days 🙂
I'm not sure I agree and I'm an absolute snooker addict! Cue ball control is even more critical in pool given the size of the table you're working with and the density of so many balls on such a small playing area. It's even more complex when only half the balls on the table are playable (the others being your opponents). Pool is also about being able to read the patterns after the break-off which, as a snooker player, I really do struggle with. Having said that, there's nothing more satisfying than taking on a "long-pot" on a pool table. Piece of cake for a snooker player, and always wows the pool players 😉
When the game starts by smashing the balls , it's a game of chance not strategies, beside after playing snooker a pool table feels like a postage stamp in a child's bedroom. Yes I'm sure there's pool tournaments but it's just a bar game, although darts is a sport 😆
Aye maybe for your average Jo but pool is a massive game here for pros and definitely a sport
That pool stick lol .
Watch more snooker 👍 also for anyone whose played this sport knows how hard it is to get a 147
Ronnie did a TV show going around America hustling in pool halls. A few people recognized him, he beat everyone and gave them their money back.
Poetry in motion ❤
♥♥♥♥♥
Ronnie is ranked No 1. today 27y later. Thats GOAT GOAT status.
If you play pool then you see a snooker table, you think oh my god wtf. It's only behind Golf as the hardest technical game out there. It is ridiculously difficult. What Ronnie does here is Pele, LeBRON, Messi, Ali levels of skill and in 5 minutes.
When you say they don't think to much, they think 3 or 4 shots ahead. It's the chess of cue sports on a much much bigger table and tiny pockets. It's all geometry and skill. One of the hardest games/sports skillwise there is. Ronnie can do it with both hands as well. He's an absolute machine. There's one video of him potting just a red and a black and he asks what is the prize for a 147, he knew he could make the highest score after 2 shots in a game when there is no margin for error. Crazy skills
Good to see people from across the pond taking notice, I'm a pool player and I'm one of the best in my little area but when it comes to snooker I'm hopeless the table is just so fucking big. If you ever get the chance to just have a short game on one you'll realise just how astronomically hard it is to be even half as good as there guys. Nice reaction
It is pronounced way the word "Loot"is spoken, it is not "snucker". Don't worry every AAmerican pronounces it wrong at first lol
When you spot a snooker player glancing up he is simply looking at the score board.
By the way Ronnie did a TV show were he toured the American pool halls and played the top pool players and hustlers at pool, i don't remember the name of the show but it was quite interesting.
I watched that as well, Ronnie lost to the best American pool players and rightly so as it's a different game. If snooker players play pool players they will probably lose, but they will win some and come close. The difference is, is if American pool players try snooker and play snooker players, they won't come anywhere near close, they will be destroyed due to the bigger tables, smaller balls, smaller pockets and much harder game. They won't be able to build a break. Pool players still beat snooker players at the game not due to potting skill or position, it's to do with order of potting during the game and the strategy. Hendry covered it on his Cue tips channel with a few pro pool players
One thing you might notice is that when we swerved the ball into the reds to break the cluster, the applause was very brief and hesitant. I think many in the crowd were not convinced he had left himself a good shot
The table is 12ft x6ft. The players are generally quite tall.
SnOOker. I think Snuker is one of those chocolate bars! Glad you enjoyed the GOAT in action!
Watch the 1985 world snooker final of all time Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor. I watched this conclusion early in the morning the best snooker final ever ❤😊😊
Dude ,you just watched the GOAT , he's the best there is in snooker .
Amazing performance , you won't see this every day in snooker !
I think this 147 should be banned - he was clearly using "The Force" that day, which has since been outlawed in the game
The Gentleman plying was known as Ronnie the rocket
Welcome to the world of Snooker.
💯💯💯💯
Its SNOOKER not POOLE thanks bonny lad
now react to a 1000 break in English Billiards
The James Bond look is a part of professional snooker.
Ronnie literally said in an interview that he was scared as he was going for the 147 so he went as fast as he could to override his mental insecurities Amazing talent the greatest to ever hold a cue
This record will never be beaten
147 is the perfect score. To do it at speed is….
Ronnie is nearly as good left handed aswell
It's all very well being able to pocket balls, but the real secret is controlling the cue ball.
The tip of a snooker cue is much thinner and rounder than a pool cue. This gives one the ability to put more back spin, top spin and side spin on the cue ball.
A snooker table is 12 feet x 6 feet. If you get the chance to see a full size snooker table you'll be shocked at how massive it is.
Think about like this......if a 6' guy laid on the table he would only be half the length of the table.✌️❤️🇬🇧
its not called snucker
Ronnie has a snooker brain
Great reaction!..
Why's everyone reacting to this video all of a sudden?
Trending for reaction channels.
Who got that piece of chalk! I'm wondering.
They gave it back as the match hadn't finished 😂
You say you did your homework but you don't seem to know the system of scoring or the sequence that the coloured balls are 'potted' -
The video was prerecorded before the intro.
He would have did his homework after watching the video.
its also not called snukker
Its Snooker not Pool
Snooker is soooooo much more difficult than pool. I've played both and owned my own cues for each one. Once you can even be average at snooker, you'll do well at pool. Captained a pool team in the Philippines, we wouldn't have stood a chance at Snooker in the UK!
Its that hard huh?
@@NAIATHEDRAGON Snooker tables are 3 times the size of pool tables and the game rules make it more difficult. I love pool and I can play it as I am not so good. I have played snooker and am terrible also, but it's way harder and I love it also. Both games are great, but snooker is way harder
@@NAIATHEDRAGONYes
That 147 was what is called a MAXIMUM and whether he wins or loses the tournament it is worth 147,000 pounds.
If you want another one. Find Tony drago doing his century break in like 3 mins... that guy is drago the Maltese dragon is his nickname... Tony drago did not have the temperament for snooker but was so entertaining
Watch ronnie left handed

World snooker championship is currently taking place at The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. Snooker is pronounced with a double o sound: not Snucker, but Snoooooker!
At least you pronounced snooker right, love your video's.
Ronnie confirmed what you were saying about losing concentration when you approach a moment like this. He said he was terrified, and he knew he had to keep the flow going. The chalk fell out of his pocket during the final blue or pink, and he didn't stop to pick it up. He had to keep going. That's what he was signalling for afterwards: "Can someone get me another chalk, please?" :-)
It's ok to not be an industry artist. I'm not an artist or in an industry. 😂😂 You have good energy man. Lovin vibes from the other side of the planet. My pet spiders, snakes and kangaroos say gday too. ❤
He's always thinking a couple of shots ahead.
He only backed off one ball and that was for a second . The control was unreal .
You've got the original link wrong 😉
That break will never ever be beaten in are life time
Excellent, Ronnie is a troubled troubled soul, his demons will hopefully not take him from us. A genius like The POWER Taylor
They say you have to be mad to be a genuis.
This guy just made $176,000 in a little over 5 minutes, that’s $3 BILLION A YEAR (if he played 24/7) ❤❤
Crazy!!
Um no they give like no prize money anymore for a 147.
1-47 NO!!!! 1-4-7......
🤣 I know now!
A 147 in snooker is the hardest to achieve, but over his career Ronnie has done 15 147, the most in the world, he has won the world championship 7 times, 8 times masters 8 times uk , and 3 triple crowns, plus his overseas trophy's,
What's completely insane in this is how far ahead he has to think. When he starts the break there are 6 'pottable' reds. That's 6 points. Add to that 6 blacks, 42 more points. Which means he's leaving 99 points on the table at that point. So he knew, from the first shot, to win in a single visit that his 13th shot needed to go into the cluster of reds and split them. Every approach and pick off leads to this moment, where he's in almost the exact position to be able to do this. It's insane.
