10 year old boy gets 147 doing a drill which to some is not the same as practice. This wasn't done during an actual game.

Obviously it's a break building drill/setup.
Quite impressive - his cue is 6+ inches taller than he is. This is a standard practice drill snooker players do often when practicing.

I believe I stated quite clearly in the thread title that this was done during practice.
It’s probably the second most common practice routine.
Let me be clear about what I was trying to say - saying that someone got a 147 implies that one got the maximum score in snooker. If you change the configuration of the game it's no longer valid. For example, why not just place a red and a black right in front of a pocket 15 times and then, ... and say "I got a 147 in practice!"
LOL.
It's impressive shooting, but this isn't snooker. A 147 in practice just means that it occurred while playing alone or in a practice match, but to run 147 in practice, numerous breakout shots are needed to make all the reds available. Making a 147 with a pre-arranged configuration of the reds is much, much, much, much, much, much, much easier.
This is a score of 147 on a drill, and not a 147 in practice. I wouldn't call the thread title misleading, just patently false. A 147 has a very specific meaning in snooker, and this does not qualify.
I am reminded here of the film Kingpin, in which Woody Harrelson is very impressed to learn that an Amish man he meets has a bowling average of 200+. Sure enough, the Amish fellow did have a 200+ average, but it turned out the Amish bowl twelve frames rather than ten. The claim became far less impressive once the facts were known, and the same can be said for this young man's accomplishment.
Still, this ten year old shows great promise. Wish him well.
I'm starting to feel like I just walked on your lawn.
Technically that's 36 successful strokes. Dun seem like a lot except for a ten year old. Strange how pool is. 36 strokes according to plan is a benchmark...
I can't believe the 36. I counted wrong right?

Personally, I consider both of them to be classics.
What does it take to impress some of you? Yes, we realize it’s not a 147 in a sanctioned competitive snooker tournament match. Why don’t you ask around and see how many non-pro caliber snooker players have accomplished a perfect 147 score in this widely accepted snooker practice drill on a 12-foot snooker table. Very few at any age would be my guess.
I agree. The title of the video is click bait but I think people are severely underestimating how hard it is to do this. There are lot people who have been playing longer than he has been alive and would be happy to get 100 in this drill.
Exactly.
It wasn't my intention, but this thread sure brought out some ignorant people.
There are people that have been playing 5 times as long as this kid as been alive, and haven't come close to a 147 in this supposedly simple drill.
