Ronnie doing Ronnie Things - Highest Break Ever

[skogstokig]

I know in the past snooker tables were governed by non-published templates controlled by the WST (or other snooker org) that would verify the pockets were all in spec. Did that practice stop?

there is some wiggle room, apparently, and it has been just that - apparent - in chinese and saudi events. in short, these promoters want a good show first and foremost

hill-hill and 42 down.

turned it around and dashed in 82 to win the semi. first final in a few years i think?

Search for "snooker 155" on youtube, and you will find a video of John Higgins scoring the maximum. This probably wasn't broadcast on TV, so didn't get that record.

Ronnie lost 10-9 to Robertson in the Saudi Masters in August 2025. That’s a major tournament and the same event he made 2 147s in a single match.

He hasn’t played a lot of tournaments lately. Keeps withdrawing. Hopefully he wins this one and runs deep at the Worlds. Would love to see him win #8.

that was cool, thanks for the link

at some points in the run he was taking full advantage of the generous pockets the chinese (and saudis) have in their events. incredible achievement either way, of course

The finer details.
Such an incredible accomplishment.
Obviously time to promote the monthly subscription that gives me archival access along with the live event. Judd Trump vs Un-Nooh is in progress with Ronnie coming again soon. Shrug .

Wst.tv live is incredible value. HUGE lessons available. Shrug

either way he's a very entertaining world champion.. joy to watch. same with luca brecel, but he fizzled out. zhao seems to have his mind right

Cool Hand Luke?
"I got my mind right, now , Boss!"

Oh Wow, just figured out , I slept through the Ronnie Yize match. 6-5! Gotta see that one, next.

I think it was not in pro competition.

What are those extra point breaks called?

16-red clearances. I suppose it would be possible to have a 16-red 148 by missing the last black.
