Awesome break! Even better with the camera rolling.
How much taller is a snooker table than a pool table?

Awesome feat! Your enthusiasm and passion for the game is contagious.
Where do you place this accomplishment in comparison to others in your pool playing life?
Well done. What was more impressive was the left banded shots with such confidence.
Dunno. I always felt I could do it.. but 147 is more like a joke to get if you are not a Pro.
We always make a jokes in game if someone gets a chance to even start trying 147. "you get 147 bottle of vodka for bonus if you can make it".. or something similar. Like unicorn of game. I put it really high but my 154 14.1 run on difficult table I think it is more difficult.
Best thing is I proved again to myself I still am improving my game even I am already 40..
I should maybe compete more ... but I like just trying to improve without worries about messing my game on season.
Just for enjoy. Pool and other cuesports keep my life refreshing.
I think it is close to 4 inches taller.
I remember a while back you strung together quite a few 8b racks and posted it for our viewing pleasure. :thumbup:

Great fun to watch!

I love that black you shot off-handed!!! Talk about a stone cold hustler there, nice run out!
Nice run, great accomplishment .
Back in the Joe Davis ere, 147's were rare, now as an amateur you've climbed the mountain.
It makes me think about all the great pool players out there that you'll never hear of because there is no money in playing professionally.

Great clearance, congrats. I felt the pressure on the last shots.. Like a true pool player you left the chalk on the table, played with a glove and used a closed bridge on some shots And ofcourse, using a pool cue. The snooker purists must be sick.

Our pool tables are bad shape right now. We get new Simonis soon.. I also did watch so much Snooker lately so I was inspired to shoot some Snooker.
So I played some Snooker against new players last evening and made couple 70+ breaks while not really focusing. I then began dogging shots and decided to stay practice Snooker after our poolhall closes.
I did shoot against Ghost on Snooker while trying make 147 after breakshot and ball in hand:wink:... Last time I tried I made 105...
I made my first 147! Not the cleanest run.. but anyways. I made it now on practice. That proved to myself I can do it at game too if i get place to start. :grin-square::grin-square:
Best part is I had just a little bit battery left on my mobile.. So I did take it on video(should be up on HD soon)

That was really impressive. You are such a great ball maker. Very nice shooting. I see that you have a lot of confidence in your ball making ability. Very focused too.
Thanks!
Ball making confidence comes naturally if one have really tight pool table. Play Finnish Kaisa(same pocket tightness as Russian pyramid. Around 2-3mm free space on both sides of pocket 10ft tables),Russian Pyramid and Snooker. :grin:
Most of it came after our pool tables modified to really tight.
Focus is my main problem. When I can get focused I will play strong. I feel age makes it harder every year. Last Autumn I started play some Chess again to practice focus.

LOL
:wink: You forgot pool Spider bridge use
