Snooker - Highest score

[Dr Who?]

As we are talking sports at the moment and your best score, I used to be really good at Pool and used to play in a pool team. Cleared the table on a regular basis. When it came to snooker it was a different ball game (pardon the pun). I know that it is a bigger table, but you would really think it would not be that much harder than Pool, but I always though it was really much harder.

 

My highest break was

 

Red - 1

Black - 7

Red - 1

Black - 7

Yellow - 2

Green - 3

Brown - 4

Blue - 5

Pink - 6

Black - 7

 

43 - perfectic!!!

 

This is with all the colours on their spots.

 

What is your highest score.

 

Total

[Mark]

57. I made a few 50+ breaks but got sweaty palms around 40. Snookers one of the games that you have to play regularly.

 

I used to play pool for the Elephant & castle (sholing) and The Ark (townhill park).

46. Trouble is getting the balance between potting and position. These days I try too hard for position and end up missing the pot but console myself with the fact that if I want to improve then that's the way it's got to be.

[Gemmel]

155

[Thedelldays]

About 27

 

So frustrating

[Micky]

Sadly, single figures...!

[Weston Saint]

45 is my best with a few 30+

[saint_jas]

Something in the 30's probably.

[Al de Man]

Got a 32 off four reds and four blacks when I used to play regularly. Now I'd be lucky to pot two consecutive balls on a 12' table, although I'm a dab hand at pool winning 12 out of 13 frames last season.

[skintsaint]

think 9 is about mine...red, black, red. Really **** at pool/snooker.

[Hatch]

35 , when i was about 16. so a long time ago.

[Dr Who?]

I find it one of the most frustrating sports, as I think it should be easier than it is, and some pots you think, well I have got this one, and you are thinking about the next only to miss a sitter!! This sitter is normally a straight shot to the middle pocket!!

 

I found playing snooker directly before a pool match always helped.

 

I played for the Winston pub in the early 90's opporsite The Dell.

Question fir you snooker players:

 

If player one starts and goes in off the black first shot and then player 2 plays a perfect game - is his break 154 or 147 ?

[Trader]

147 - your opponent's foul is not part of your break.

[SaintBobby]

It is, however, technically possible to get a 155 break (although, I suspect Gemmel may be exaggerating his best ever score....)

 

If you're awarded a free ball before any reds have been potted, you could sink a colour and then the black for 8 points before going on to clear the table for a further 147.

 

Does anyone know if a break in excess of 147 has ever been achieved?

 

My own best is a dismal 26...

[Trader]

Yep
