Alex Pagulayan going to UK to try pro snooker

I think the conditions needed for a 147 to occur are much more rare than making a 100+ at 14.1 or whatever. The only possible time one can occur is from the beginning of a frame before any reds have been potted and either the player is actively trying for a 147 or coincidentally has only potted blacks and realizes midway he is on a possible 147, both of which are rare.

I think the unlikely conditions for a 147 would make it more rare, but not necessarily more difficult skill-wise.

Kind of like a break and run in one pocket is very rare because it is dependent on making a ball on the break, which is a relatively rare occurance, even though it is not necessarily that much more skillful of a feat than a break and run in 10 ball.

To give your record the credit it deserves, I think the centuries you've ran
are worth at least 500 under normal 6x12 conditions....the pockets you
were shooting at were usually tighter than world regulation, I'm assuming.
And it's harder to get the 7-ball going early on a cluttered 5x10.

...an example of tighter pockets affecting centuries....
There was an old club in England that had an old English Billiard table....
....the pockets were 3.25...
They had one century on it in 70 years...as of the mid-eighties.

I'm sorry, but I'm not having that. No snooker table is 10x5, no matter how small the pockets.

Yes you did. The mods erased his out-of-line comments about my wife in another thread but it doesn't erase the stench. That he continues to troll me after that, interjecting to attempt to ruin this fine thread even, is pretty arrogant.

Sorry Thaiger but over the years I have come across plenty of 10x5 snooker tables. The first time I played on one it took me a few minutes to realise that it was smaller.. This was because it ws in an enclosed room and everything in the room had been scaled down in size

No. 90 didn't count as a century break
