Sean Murphy’s first shot how he managed to get the correct amount of side from the pocket jaws and the top cushion is more difficult than it looks, rattling the jaws can put side on the ball already, and he compensated for that. for me that’s the most impressive shot.
Looks like the most difficult shot of them all to me, and there is no slowmotion or rerun like on the other shots, strange 😊, I know they use the clip in the beginning of the video but still... What a shot🎉
That shot of Davis vs Robertson is my favourite ever defence/snooker reaching shot. How much fantasy one need to think to pull out something like that? Not even talking about how difficult the shot was and how he landed perfectly behind the brown. All of that at the age of 52. What a fucking legend.
In snooker, when a game starts there are 15 red balls worth 1 point, and one ball each of the other colors with yellow worth 2 points, green 3 points, brown 4 points, blue 5 points, pink 6 points and black 7 points, and the white ball which is the only ball the players are allowed to touch with the cue (the stick). When a player starts their turn at the table they MUST make sure that after they hit the white ball with the cue, the first ball it makes contact with is a red ball if there is one available. If they hit a red ball and pocket it, then they must now make sure to hit one of the other colored balls first, and it is considered a foul if they hit another red first at this time (For example at 6:04 when Williams does that shot for the yellow ball when he is surrounded by tons of reds). If they pocket a colored ball, then that player adds their value to their score, get to continue playing at the table, and the colored ball gets put back on the table, while red balls once pocketed stay out of the game. If the turn player does not pocket a ball, or pockets the wrong kind of ball (Eg. pocketing a colored when they must hit a red, a red when they must hit a colored, or the white ball at any time) then their turn ends and the other player gets their turn. After all the red balls have been pocketed, then the colored balls must then be pocketed in order of their worth (so yellow, then green, then brown, then blue, then pink and finally black), and at this stage they do not get reset unless they were pocketed out of order, which is a foul (To explain why 6:45 is NOT a foul, even though Ding pocketed the black with no reds on the table, you must still pocket a colored ball after pocketing the last red, and that ball gets reset, before you have to pocket the colored ones in order). This is the reason there are varying amounts of balls on the table. Sometimes, the best play is not to pocket a ball, but to instead put the opponent in a position where it is almost impossible to not foul. A good example is at 3:50 when Davis puts his opponent in a 'Snooker'. This means that there are NO direct paths between the white ball and the red balls.
I had to put that first shot in slow mo and watch it a few times, still trying to figure out the mechanics, next trip to the pool hall is going to be a grind fest lol.
Ronnie really wanted Ding to get that 147. I remember watching it live and when he got a fluke on that yellow, we all thought it was meant to be.. sadly, it wasnt 😢
Tbh, this was one of the best attempts for a 147 I have seen. After that spectacular black I didn't expect those misses on the yellow (that he fluked) and the miss on the green ... that black was by far more difficult than those.
im a pool player who' never had the chance to play snooker bc i cant find a table anywhere but i love watching it. was just wondering what makes some shots so difficult? for example selbys shot at the 1:05 mark, is it just the distance, or is it bc the pockets or angle is much tighter in snooker? appreciate anyone who could clear it up
it's both of the reasons you said, snooker table pockets are unforgiving, and the angle was tight, and it was from a long way, and it was also the speed in which he played it, most players would've rolled it in to give it the best chance of wiggling in
Brilliant playing, but the most impressive thing for me is the difference between early TV cameras, and what we have today. The last frame I could hardly make out the balls :)
@@KindredBrujah I remember a commentator saying, " he is playing the red ball which is next to the green " when watching in black and white, It made sense if you understood the game, but not a lot of use to people new to snooker.
There was a shot by Alex Higgins that wasn't included... He was drunker than any man should ever be . But he played a shot up the cushion and potted it.. It was outrageous
As someone that was born on a billiard table, I am utterly confused as to why some of these bog standard shots are amazing? I saw one single shot that was impressive. Many of these shots used pocket bumpers to even drop the ball. Are we talking about rule shots or technical skill shots?
What's mad is that it's been the same group of players on the pro circuit now for what seems like a hundred years. There seems to be a serious lack of young talent making it's way through in snooker.
You have to pot red - color - red - color, so you have to alternate. Reds are not coming back, colors come back while there is at least one red still on the table. Each ball has it's own points for pocketting it. One who gets more points wins the frame. That's the short summary, basically.
in my years of playing pool and wasting years of my life doing so i have made many of those shots many, many times and i never was even a professional. best shot in history? I THINK NOT
You do know that there are denoiser programs out there and you do know that one doesn't even have to amp up noise in the first place to make the sound annoying, don't you?
Having watched this and Stephen Hendry's 'Cue Tips' where he occasionally plays top pool players and wins regularly, I don't think there is any argument that snooker players are the most talented. Sure, pool players see the 'patterns' that show them how to clear up from the break but a good snooker player could easily learn this skill. Pro snooker players have ventured over to the other side, some playing at the highest level. But if the skills of both games were so easily interchangeable, why don't we see pool players competing for the big money offered by most pro snooker tournaments?
Snooker is so special, it has such elegance ❤

for me that’s the most impressive shot.
That last clip, O'Sullivan playing exhibition when the frame is not even settled! I really like the rebelliousness about that.
Murphy vs. Pang is so far ahead of all these other shots.
Truly elite play by Murphy.
Why was the ref blurred out?
@@gjb79ful No idea why they blurred Malgorzata Kanieska out. Bit silly if you ask me.
In some of those shots just the ability to visualise that the shot existed was as impressive as the execution!
All those top shots and the thing I’ll remember most is that Robinson perm. Ahhhhhh!!!
Hard to believe thats his natural hair 🤣
I always find the amazing shots are the ones where the player is not miles out in front on the scoring, so the pressure is on
That shot by Murphy off the cushion was awesome
Looks like the most difficult shot of them all to me, and there is no slowmotion or rerun like on the other shots, strange 😊, I know they use the clip in the beginning of the video but still... What a shot🎉
This compilation is unbelievable! Shot after shot is jaw dropping, amazing collection of legends at the top of their game mate, nice one.
Many thanks❤
I really liked the shots in this video, good selection, some I had forgotten and nice to see again 👍🏻

Haha ace comment mate, hell of a shot
Davis is the best snooker tactician of all time. I think he might of won even more if he had the 'split the pack as early as possible' approach.
WTF was Robertson doing with that hair 😂 Ronnie at the end going super saiyan lol
Selby Top swing Is Insane 🔥
That opening shot from the magician is super dope
Brilliant compilation. All fantastic shots. Thanks for posting 👍
Many thanks!
Murphy is absalutely insane with his vision and skill !!
I have no idea what is happening but it looks awesome! 😂

Takes genius to spot some of those shots and then another level to pull it off.
0:17 Only in snooker could that be considered a legendary shot 😂
I've been watching pro pool all year so when I saw that I was a little taken aback but then I remembered "Yeah . Snooker"
nice to know i've managed to pull off a few of these types of shots myself while playing
99% pure fluke and could never do it again
but i did it lol
I had to put that first shot in slow mo and watch it a few times, still trying to figure out the mechanics, next trip to the pool hall is going to be a grind fest lol.
4:30 Are you blurring out the *female* ref??
Nice video buddy thanks... keep it up...❤m right now subscribing your channel... Good effort ❤😊
Come on ronnie win another title❤
Ronnie really wanted Ding to get that 147. I remember watching it live and when he got a fluke on that yellow, we all thought it was meant to be.. sadly, it wasnt 😢
5:00 6:33
Tbh, this was one of the best attempts for a 147 I have seen.

What a shot it is by refrees is epic😂
10:01 repeat clip. Really, really nice compilation though nice variety!
0:45 one of the basics shots in bar pool
Higgins vs o'Sullivan... still one Match to remember.....
Brecel rest shot was the best absolutley;-)
This is good one😮

You will never understand how difficult snooker is (compared to pool) until you try to play it !

Ronnie is like Merlin with a wand 😮😮😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Brilliant playing, but the most impressive thing for me is the difference between early TV cameras, and what we have today. The last frame I could hardly make out the balls :)
not so much about cameras but mostly about video storage (and tv air) format
Back in the day we had to watch these on a black and white TV. Now _that_ was difficult.
@@KindredBrujah I remember a commentator saying, " he is playing the red ball which is next to the green " when watching in black and white, It made sense if you understood the game, but not a lot of use to people new to snooker.
I miss the one-hand shots of Mark Williams and Trump amazing "ball with brakes" :) otherwise, amazing shots !
Why was Malgorzata Kanieska blurred out of the clip of the Shaun Murphy vs Pang Junxu match?
Murphy 00:00 🫶🤦♂️
1:22 surprised Neil didnt get snookered behind his hair
Nice job
Brilliant compilation. Every shot is mind blowing
Amightey game 2 of the best chaps playing at there very best there's not many would come near the fast and great que game play
That first one is filth! Amazing shot!
There should be a player named FU in every sport.
I’m amazed, and a bit saddened, that so few of these are the greatest snooker player to ever play the game.
I agree. But at least Steve Davis had one shot in the video.
It’s not what you do,it’s how you do it.
There was a shot by Alex Higgins that wasn't included... He was drunker than any man should ever be . But he played a shot up the cushion and potted it.. It was outrageous
1:43. He ain't snookered
Gave away 61 points on one snooker...says it all
Last one was edited 😂
2:57 9:48 same shot
Why is the referee blurred? Seen that a couple of times now, either with audience or refs.
No idea why she is blurred out.
Nice one, it's ok
Thanks.
No idea what this is but its hype
12:42 my favourite I think! Because it is the final frame, if he fks up he loses the match!
I bet Neil Robertson took some stick when he had his Hilda Ogden style perm!
Could you not have equalised the volume of all the clips?
The magician
That first shot was FUCK*D
Love how the less talented players commentating think some shots are just luck.
Great video but why the noisy glitch sound every 10 seconds...
4:33 how is that possible 😮
And I can't even make a straight pocket on 8 Ball Pool
12:35 just like that one jimmy white snooker film

Murphy numbef 1!
Ils ont un sacré touché de boules ! 🚀🤭
Anyone know what transition that is he has on the clips?
Glitch effect.
More than a few repeated from the first video but a good compilation .
It must be a mistake bro... I don't think so any shot is repeated
@@Snookerhq There are a few because I watched the two videos back to back , that's how I noticed .
@@PhilipKerry oh sorry... As there were loads of shots so it could have happened
Why is every shot replayed ? I see it first time. Thanks.
I wish I knew the rules of snookers. Some of these shots would probably have more meaning.
Poor Fu seems to ve the victim of more than his fair share of these lol
Alex Higgins❤
What's mad is that it's been the same group of players on the pro circuit now for what seems like a hundred years. There seems to be a serious lack of young talent making it's way through in snooker.
0:35 vs 3:17 did Higgins got deja vu?
04:32 berkelas 🔥
over here in cheeseburgerland, i have no idea what the rules of this game are and i've been unable to guess by watching clips, but it's entertaining!

When did Robinson have that hair?

quem são esses caras perto de baianinho de mauá.
that 3rd to last shot (last sequence by Ronnie)..?
he table length back cut with low INSIDE to kill it off the 2nd riz. Ridiculous.
1:43 how is he snookered? he could have played any red?
U see these shots in the bar everyday.but when it's an unknown doing it ain't gonna make headlines.
What bars you drinking at that have snooker tables?
@@lukebarton5075 plenty bro.dont you have snooker tables in bars the side?
4:33 sec 0% chance ? about 20-30% chance or so. There are many who do not really know what honesty is and they like to lie. 😋
Шикарно
90% of those shots I couldn’t even see, never mind make.
这是大伯公走过才会如此幸运

Is Stephen Lee's ban over or has he just quit?
Finishes Oct. 2024. He owes €143,000 costs though. I don’t think he’ll be back. If he does that standard will be above what he used to.
Yes Oct, 2024*
@@johnmc3862 Yeah, I agree. Like today's banned list... what a waste of talent.

Some shots been repeated?
Why is the title capitalized that way? It doesn't make sense.

Ну хоть один удар Мартина Гулда показали!
Хотя в его истории много чего есть!!

Some magnificent shots but the title is total BS
Really nice shots but there is a guy called Baianinho he’s from Brazil and plays better even in this kind of bilhar
The Wong way?
doubling the shots? DOWN THUMB X A BILLION
