Poor old Luca already receding at the age of 15!👨‍🦲 Miss Michaela! 😢 Ronnie is still smashing it in 2023! 🐐

[@corallaroc2946]

Contrary to commentators' opinion (9:10), potting the powerball late is actually a good decision in this format. The point per ball when clearing the colors is 27/6=4.5, i.e. higher than the score per ball when only potting reds and blacks (8/2=4). Plus the score in this format is not segmented into frames but accumulates scores across them.

[@castleanthrax1833]

I guess that depends upon how late you mean. There's no point leaving it until the last red, because you lose any unused time, and it doesn't take these guys 2 minutes to clear the colours.

[@vasilesandu632]

No

[@kachler67]

But then you would begin a new frame and face a closed rack, no open reds around

[@guptayush179]

yes that's what I thought time seems to be very significant in this format.

[@frankhuber9912]

Hmmm, I dunno... not a fan of this game.

[@BlakesPipes]

You just keep blowing my mind of what games they have made from the original. And I am only 8 months old finding out about this great sport! Thank you

[@ethanwilkins8294]

Your English is pretty good for an 8 month old to be fair

[@renegade-master29]

I'm only 7 months old

[@BlakesPipes]

@@renegade-master29 my Belgium best friend for 18 years introduced me to this sport. Wonderful sport, but to complicated for the American market I believe.

[@BlakesPipes]

@@ethanwilkins8294 8 months, feel like with every video I watch of snooker is my first time! Lol 😂 this one was crazy to me, guess they needed it for the young to get interested into the sport.

[@sj460162]

Love it. Any variation of snooker is fun. You cant beat the original though..

[@Cory_Springer]

My 2 favorite snooker players and my favorite snooker referee. This is definitely an interesting twist on the game that I've never seen before, thanks for sharing!

[@bobboyer9440]

My sentiments exactly.

[@mestrinimaster3602]

What about your favourite snooker channel? 😅

[@MahbodMD1]

They had a 15 year old walk out with a super model🤣

[@gordoncockfield]

ROFL yeh walk on girls! That'll be hearn trying to match the darts. This aged well 😂

[@jamesadcock5235]

Yeh and he touched her breasts

[@savinggracechurch4112]

Comended play must go to Michaela for having to learn all these new rules. Seen her not only learning these but 9 ball and of course snooker. Love seeing Luca and Ronnie playing together and they are best of friends off the table as well. Awesome match the three of you 😊

[@ml.2770]

That 15 year old probably had a power tent during the walk out.

[@corallaroc2946]

Awesome find, thank you Cesar!

[@waylandquiaoit3871]

Is there any chance of a power snooker maximum break?

[@hystericalwolf]

Adding on from Gary's quote; this is what I hate about the world champion. The man "didn't" practice, just partied all night and then just won it? What does it say for those who actually put in the work....

[@สันติ-ฅ6ฎ]

This mean you have work too hard.

[@mestrinimaster3602]

It says he's that good. One of those that have that brain-body special connection to the activity their performing at. But on another note, one can also see the indications that Brecel is a guy with low patience and starts shooting at balls like the game is worthless. Something he did this last championship, though he won.

[@milesscooter]

at 3:59 did he say "being good at snooker is a sign of misspent youth" ? I almost died laughing

[@ljobson]

Super entertaining to see young Luca. I wonder a bit if Ronnie was loose on some shots for entertainment's sake - either way what a G

[@nicktrousers]

This is 😂 funny

[@cookinganytimes]

13 years later Luca becomes world champion~

[@shravanhegde741]

I wil be d one

[@Ledret71]

Any video of P.Ebdon playing this format? 😂

[@ronskayakingandfishing414]

"After 30 minutes of play.... Peter Ebdon: 1 point"

[@dunngyllite7883]

I see what you did there ^^

[@duanemartz9317]

Luca had hair? That’s mind numbing

[@just-dl]

Thanks for posting this one! It’s a treat to see a young Luca in action and I always enjoy Ronnie. But, like another fast paced variant of Snooker, this one isn’t for me. The rushing and count downs lessen the importance of skill and emphasizes timing and, frankly, luck. The noisiness of the crowd is not to my liking. I said it about the other variant but, this feels Americanized. I don’t mean that as a compliment. (And, I am proudly American, so simmer down over there in the comments section!)

[@waytothewill]

I agree. This is all against the core nature of Snooker.

[@trappenweisseguy27]

Yup, I despise gimmicks added onto snooker.

[@DrakodanSRL]

Phenomenal player, but having a receding hairline like that at 15 is brutal.

[@angkasal7333]

Would love to see the final!!

[@jayclarke1265]

13 years later he became world champion

[@ahboonah]

do you have the one where ding played osullivan? dont think i can find it anywhere on youtube.

[@paultwiss199]

Power snooker didn't really take off . It was a decent idea though

[@bobboyer9440]

Luca is a young Ronnie. He will surely be the one to carry the torch when Ronnie retires.

[@sardarraufkhan8987]

Ronnie is one of a kind... Snooker won't be same without ROS.

[@thomasgray5406]

The pockets on that table are ridiculously generous.

[@Leakh6161]

Please don't call him young Ronnie! He's too confident and brazen sometimes that might be good for the game but he has to prove he's a true champion as many times as Ronnie has titles! He can't even be compared to him!😊

[@ronsimpson8666]

He took that halftable safety shot without thinking. And Ronnie made him hit it till he got a hit. Hope he learns from stuff like that. Ronnie showed some restraint however...

[@lastbutcher4052]

i thaught that luca was black, the first one black snooker champ.

[@CryHarryLetLooseTheDogsOfWar]

I hate it! There I said it. Much prefer traditional snooker

[@dislecsyk991]

Very awkward having a model escort a 15 year old to the arena...

[@alvarsdzenis4739]

I see O'Sullivan plays quite different (tight/cut throat) when playing the pro's. Must be sympathy that wasn't shown to him when he was young.

[@MrHadrian71]

Ha ha ha! Brilliant! Never seen that before Cesar! Thanks!

[@mhtareq007]

What!! Peter Drowry??? WoW!!

[@MTS930]

Wow. Where do you find this stuff? Is Power Snooker still played?

[@CesarMuroya]

No, the second edition in 2011 was the last one.

[@bokyaw-ov3ew]

🙏🙏🙏🥭🥭🥭🐘🥭🥭🥭🙏🙏🙏🥉🎱🏆🏐🚣🌧️

[@eddymcpre]

Much preferred this over the dreadful shoot out garbage

[@Omidrossonero_1899]

What are the rules of this game? Why do some balls have double points? Luca Bressel scored a red card for four points. Why?

[@5kiann]

they literally explained it in the vid

[@SuperSajuuk]

WST clearly watch this channel on a regular basis, because they've just ripped this video [sans the first 1:55 minutes] and reuploaded it LOL

[@FloydMaxwell]

Love the format. Higher risk/reward.

[@johnl4469]

Thanks Cesar. This is a new twist to the game for me :).

[@gusfalk]

commentator sounds like peter drury?

[@Ex-Pear-Rocker]

Bring the women escorts back..

[@FloydMaxwell]

Sublime. Great Power Snooker as well.

[@PedroSilva-ln2iy]

i dont like Sullivan, redi... guy

[@bdakouris]

Ronnie looks like Tony Montana on the table

[@utdkidswifeITO]

first and last time we saw this? :)

[@chazzat3113]

Just found out about about power snooker today, had no clue it was even a thing ahaha😂

[@ВладимирПаньков-ю2л]

Интересный матч ! Необычный формат ! Лука слишком задиристым был, но потенциал имел очень хороший ! Очень понравился поединок !

[@davidmellish3295]

Don't know if he was cocky or just enjoying the moment. Out on the big stage with the TV cameras playing the greatest player ever in a fun far less serious format. He'd probably would of had a much more sombre attitude had it been a normal match in a regular tournament

[@simon-oy6um]

Was that his mum with him ??

[@darenfrancis3057]

Nice find ...

[@hive_indicator318]

Welp. Guess I don't need to watch your videos about the championship now

[@YantoYanto-kp3ks]

😁ia bisa di bilang ini lebih panas dari sebelumnya ok sukses selalu

[@UnboxRacing]

Funniest thumbnail ever. Luca hoping, Ronnie has been there done that!

[@bartdereu9267]

It was then already clear that he'd win in the crucible one day.

[@lantrill]

the white going in, in the power zone should also be doubled.

[@andrewmorton3344]

0:51 pink first?

[@cueballzero]

Why isn’t this format played today?

[@johnsrabe]

11:30 did he miss on purpose to let the kid have a chance?

[@johnsrabe]

16:48 Ronnie doesn’t play that way.

[@danoloparx255]

Nice to see Michela Tabb

[@bagadbilla6935]

Rokit for a reason 😂

[@pauladams1915]

Audience is annoying

[@Brian-gx7yx]

GOAT

[@mesbahwali4841]

Why they dont have this kind of tournament today it looks entertaining, great video by the way❤❤❤

[@umarabubakar49]

Legend is a legend always🔝 but no matter ♓one day I will got it from you 🎱🏆 that's why am keep playing 🎴 I am a young champion from Nigerian 🇳🇬 My Almighty Allah bless Africa all💟💙💚💛💜✌

[@olaedegbolahan9780]

Meet my cue in lifetime ...

[@davidmellish3295]

Back when Ronnie had no problems shaking hands 😅

[@AndrewJens]

I love watching Michaela walk around the tennis court.

[@kanataspunchingbag2973]

4:00 “being good at snooker is a sign of misspent youth” excuse me what? Did I heard that wrong?

[@Sold.Out.For.Freeee]

I love Luca more now❤ this game is mental 😂😂

[@JohnsonJohnson-sz8xh]

Little did anyone know it would go on to win the World Championship

[@YantoYanto-kp3ks]
