I never get tired of watching this!

Thank you for the link to that amazing snooker run! I don't play snooker, but I know how hard it is to run balls on a snooker table and that was just an unbelievable feat.

Good lord that's amazing. Those tables aren't very forgiving and its amazing how fast his tempo is and how hard he hit some of those shots.
 
Man, imagine how much faster he could have done that if he used Kamui chalk! He would have only had to chalk up once!
 
I also have watched this dozens of times and it blows me away. Many on this board have never played this game let alone tried it on a 12 footer.
I grew up playing on a big table and would like to start again.

This video is short but it is another I love to watch over and over.

When ever I feel the need to make myself feel inadequate, I grab a set of snooker balls and practice on the big table.

Ronnie makes it look way too easy.
 
That is the da%$#est thing I have ever--EVER seen in my life time--I have played some of the greatest players of the world in my day--but never Never
seen anything like this gent--I spent another hour sweating other feat's that this guy performed---I don't think he would ever miss playing straight pool --If someone told me he ran a million--I'd belive it after seeing what I just beheld----
 
Thanks! That's the first time I've ever seen snooker being played. I guess that's a pretty good one to start with...although it seems like a weird game; kind of like a game invented in a pub full of drunks. :smile:
 
Great performance. Brought back a lot of memories when I was in high school, back in the West Texas town of Lubbock. Snooker was the game of choice at the Golden Cue Billiard Hall. The old painters and carpenters, masonry workers and brick layers could always be found on a rainy day at the twelve footers playing "golf" for a dollar a game, dime a hickey.

While that is definitely the most well known run he's had, I think I like watching this one just as much. Not a 147, but as far as being in the zone and making a snooker table look like a bar table, this one is as good as it gets:

The shots on the last blue and the last black make me laugh every time.

He is officially invited to play golf at the retireement center.
The golf table just got new Simonis.
I'll even cover the green fee's...:smile:

I wonder if he can run 6-holes on a 10-footer

Ronnie is too inconsistent to run high straight pool scores, I think. Hendry, on the other hand, would NEVER miss. I could easily see him running 1000 balls.
