Bai Yulu 145 in Snooker

[jay helfert]

I found this on Youtube but so far am unable to post it on here. Maybe someone can help me and add it to this thread. Yulu is the women's world champion in Snooker and this is her record breaking run, a real thing of beauty. A must see for AZ fans. She runs a perfect 145 without breaking a sweat, and this was in a match on the World Snooker Tour against a man! Check out how easily she switches hands at the 102 mark of her run. Maybe the best women cueist in the world, on a par with the best men snooker players.

I watched her in the champion of champions tournament. Great player.

Not rooting against her, but nope. Her best win on the men's tour is against a player ranked 75th.

We can revisit this in a couple years.

She's a beast. I hope the women get more opportunities, and with better exposure to their game, are competing more frequently (and confidently) against the men.

What's the record part of it? The 145? No woman has run 147 before?

Did you see at the very end she pulled the balls out of the pocket while the CB was still rolling? I guess the European pool refs have not ruined snooker yet, ha ha.

No woman has made 147 in WST matchplay. Many have made 147. There was a couple videos of a knee-high girl making one doing the rounds on social media here not long ago

that's not bad though. the level in men's tour is crazy high.

because of its history it's often the case that every new champion in women's snooker is the best ever. and everyone seems to be in agreement that bai yulu is too, but i would also say she is the first one to hit them like the men. the cue action and timing is great, you can hear it when she plays. maybe she will be the first woman to qualify for the WC, maybe she won't, but she has the best shot at it of any woman player. i think reanne's best try was 2nd round at the qualifications
