Dr Who? Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolution saint Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 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.

saint_jas Posted 9 September, 2011 Share Posted 9 September, 2011 Something in the 30's probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al de Man Posted 10 September, 2011 Share Posted 10 September, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Who? Posted 10 September, 2011 Author Share Posted 10 September, 2011 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.

PaulSaint Posted 10 September, 2011 Share Posted 10 September, 2011 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted 10 September, 2011 Share Posted 10 September, 2011 147 - your opponent's foul is not part of your break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 10 September, 2011 Share Posted 10 September, 2011 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
