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.

Were you worried that someone would think it is? That the break off shot just happened to leave the balls in the same configuration as the T-break drill? As opposed to a drill. When the thread title specifically SAID it was a drill?

How is the title clickbaiting when it said:
a) it was practice, and
b) it was a T-break, i.e., a DRILL!!!
It was not clickbait but some people thought so so Beiber edited thread title.. Maybe you can detect sarcasm from newer title lol...
Yeah, I wish I could give a Like to a thread title change. What a bunch Debbie downers we have. And I'd bet that virtually none of them could duplicate the kid's feat on a pool table, let alone a snooker table.
And separate and distinct from the thread title, the YouTube screen, which appears in the OP, CLEARLY shows the balls are in positions they would never be in during an actual game.
147 from drill is not too hard. But only after you are really good.
If i get snooker bug and start practice it i try first get 147 from line up. I think it is slightly more difficult than T-break, because you have to go get reds near blue and back. Then I try make maximum with pink only(132). After that i try make maximum with blue only. That one is sick. I never made it yet.
But why?
Because it teach u proper speed control when you don´t have option for easier color. Happens a game a lot. Black might be blocked by reds and so on..
I got few ones 147+132 on video but published only one(and that is not exactly 147+132
. If i do all 3 in row someday that one i will put out that one for sure.
BTW...Stephen Hendry used to do normal line up but he had to do it 10 times in row to be happy.
hmm. might put link to my own old footage with easy(ish) club table.. Nowadays we got good more difficult table but not star pockets though. Bought them from european champs so they are official anyways.

lol now i remember why i posted that one. It have some sick shots on 147

P.s I know normally on line up you are not allowed to move another balls. when i try make 147 or another maximum i allow it for myself. Not because it is easier, but because it is skill to practice. Getting position while moving a ball.

The thread title didn't say that when I commented, it has been edited.
Talking of which...his comeback is tomorrow night, 19:00 (UK time)!
Edit: Sorry I didn't read ALL the responses. Mine below got covered, more or less.
And therefore a good challenge to get the clearing.
I'll guess that top players don't clear the table 100% of the time.
I'm guessing, like I said.
Looks challenging to me even though its a setup.
This is an intermediate-advanced level drill. Unless you're a good player, this drill is very challenging! The first, most common drill in snooker is the line-up and variations on it. Once that gets too easy, this is the drill most players move on to. If you watch snooker players practise, the lowest levels usually play the colours of their spots, then line up, then line up with restrictions, then this. There are many drills in snooker, and players of all levels can play the basic ones but this is the common progression.
Not beating up on jviss here.
Can we correct our Thread Titles now since the revamp?
That's always been an issue with me.
PM,lol now i remember why i posted that one. It have some sick shots on 147

That's all child's play. I won't be impressed until someone gets a perfect 57 break. All reds and yellows!
Why stop there, they should go for the elusive 44 ;-)
Regardless of what anyone calls it I just witnessed some incredible shooting. The thing that seemed odd to me is all of the very adult like skilled shots he made coming from a small kid that was acting like a young child up until it was time to knock some balls in, those shots did not fit the person operating the cue.
Nic Barrrow told me that he would be aiming to average around 100 points over 5 attempts on this routine. He's not a top-level player, so I don't know what they would be able to do. But it's enough of a challenge that you see top players doing this routine when they show the practice room at big tournaments.
