And made it....on his first and only attempt....THAT'S impressive!
...and how do we know that was his first and only attempt? perhaps we just don't recall or care about all those times that he missed a similar shot.

Really....really going to show that intelligence aren't you...LOL because Cory made that shot in one of his matches playing in a tournament....you really think he got to shoot over and over until he MADE IT?
If someone says it in the comments it has to be true
Lots of people say lots of things about Jesse's stroke shots because they seem (nearly) impossible.
Truth is, Jesse isn't hard to find and will gladly show you some of these shots in person and let you try them yourself on his table.
Does he make damn sure the balls are polished and the cloth vacuumed? Sure he does, but that's the extent of his "tricks".
No light cueball, cgi, million tries, whatever else people are suggesting.
Just a monster, MONSTER stroke.

No shit sherlock, that's not what he said. Go back through Cory's life and watch every match he's ever played and then let me know how many times he has missed a similar shot, cuz because he hasn't made them all. Hell, he probably hasn't made 50% of them. Maybe you understand that

Wow...aren't you the smart one, yes....every shot ever made by anyone has also been missed a million times before....that's why no one picks up a cue for the first time and goes out and starts winning tournaments. It's called practice makes perfect....1,000s of hours of practice. The difference between making that stroke shot in a tournament and making it on video is if you miss the shot in the game....your turn is over, and maybe the game for that matter....vs making it on video....miss it there....rewind and repeat....until you get the desired effect....wow....so cool

You should try rewinding and repeating your posts
To be fair, in professional and amateur snooker "147"s are counted when achieved in a tournament. They don't count practice sessions on whatever table it happens on, video recorded or not. Corey Duel has tried and failed to qualify as a professional smoker player, so he cannot have any 147s as a pro. What is his high run in the US Championships ? Does he have any 147s in amateur tournament play ?
Not sure why you felt the need to include the second paragraph.

I was making a slightly different point related to selection bias ... never mind ... wrong forum.
According to Cuetracker, Corey made a 68 in his US Amateur championship win.
In total including his Asian tour tournament and Qschool attempts and World Amateur appearance, it seems he has made two breaks in the 60s and one break in the 70s.

That said, I don't know if he's played in other events not tracked there, and I'm certain he's made a tonne in practice matches, and most definitely on the practice table.
An actual snooker player posting (matter-of-fact-ly, I might add) on a snooker related thread? What a curious concept!
