Somebody should have stuffed a sock in the mouth of the lady who was screeching.
Man, Ronnie is super human. Love watching him play.

My thoughts exactly! He makes that 12’ table with tiny pockets look like a home table with 6” pockets. So many of those shots had no margin for error, but he just stands and delivers every time.
Isn’t it amazing, it amazes me every time I watch him. I watched all the century breaks from 910-1020 on YouTube until they took that channel down.
I’m glad to see him have a long career, which makes it even more amazing.
I’ve thought about this as well. He wouldn’t have the black and pink reappearing in perfect positions to work the stack but I think he would smoke some racks of 14.1 on a standard GC if he put a little time into it.
I remember him playing Jeanette Lee some 14.1 on a show. I feel like it was a pretty close match that she won.

This is not to knock these performances. The Rocket is the best billiard player in history.
However, it’s a lot easier to make 147 in a fun game than in a professional tournament. In a fun game O’Sullivan will try for shots that he wouldn’t risk against other pro players. There’s a few times early on he would have come back to Centre table for 5 points on the blue instead of going for the black. Also his opponent wouldn't have left him the opportunity with that cue ball position when Ronnie came to be table.
In a tournament of over 220 games of the top 128 players in the world, the odds of even one 147 are slim. Even Ronnie has only made a dozen or so 147s in thousands of pro games.
My own best scores have always been against newbies when I know that I will win and I can take a greater risk for the challenge of a higher clearance. Not that I have ever made a 147 even when playing alone on my own table….maybe one day.
