Maximum Break - 3 mins 50 secs. 9 Foot Snooker (9 month progress)

[@Davidtavernor]

So somebody pointed out to me that it looked as if the white was going in, thankfully (!!) I still had the end of the clip which can be seen with zoom and slow motion here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZCck2Z_o6Z5hKM It's also now hyperlinked at the end of the video. I'm honestly horrified that if I'd pushed 'stop recording' a milisecond earlier - literally - I'd have had to delete this. Mercifully, I push stop *just* after the cue ball has rolled past the pocket. Unbelievable. 😬

Well played mate 👍

[@Xenny_Brown]

Well played, boet!! You have done the Dull Men's Club proud! Really good positional play, especially on those final few reds.

[@Davidtavernor]

Whoever you are Xenny - you are one of the good ones 🙂

[@Xenny_Brown]

@@Davidtavernor I'm a fellow Dull Men's Club member, also a snooker player who never in my wildest dreams have come close to your achievement! Highest break ever was 49 on a 12-footer, and that was a good twenty years ago. Well done again, buddy!

[@Davidtavernor]

@@Xenny_Brown You have honestly made my day, my friend. And a 49 is nothing to be sniffed at!!! Although my heart bleeds for you if missing the half century was wounding.

[@RobNolan-w4z]

Enjoyed that - just ordered a 9foot table for myself. 10 reds instead of 15 due to table size? You don't chalk your cue very much but that doesn't seem to stop you.

[@Davidtavernor]

@@RobNolan-w4z awesome, you'll love it 👍15 reds works great too. Just not for the red/black maxi game... yet!

[@EnglishPoolandSnooker]

Well done. Funny you had the yellow and green on the wrong spots for most of the break

[@Davidtavernor]

@@EnglishPoolandSnooker I was very tired at this point 🤣 Many thanks 🙏🙂

[@emilystarification]

Well done, excellent “Dull” achievement 😉

[@Davidtavernor]

You are a star, and I'm sure very dull too 🙂

[@JC6-t7b]

Well done. Given me motivation to persevere on my 8ft table. Roughly how much practice have you been putting in ?

[@Davidtavernor]

Thank you, and yeah you should! I'm blessed/cursed with tunnel vision so it's been a lot, but from a beginnner starting point. Considering sometimes I'll spend hours in there and occasionally don't have time etc... Maybe an hour a day average? Not sure. Quite a lot thought, the room is now my office as well as having darts/TV/Guitars/music/air con etc so makes sense to be in there most of the time 🙂

[@heeranrathod]

Nice video. But your baulk colours are the wrong setup.

[@Davidtavernor]

Haha yeah I know. Cue ball goes nowehere near them and I spot/correct before I get to that part of the break though. Just a bit of fun! ✌
