Ronnie O'Sullivan's 147 in 5 min.20 sec.

[@TheMegsie1]

This has a really special meaning to me. My dear old Dad was a big Ronnie fan and he absolutely loved this break. He would bore people to death telling them how amazing it was, even if they knew nothing about or even liked snooker! He sadly passed away from Alzheimer's a few years ago. Another love of Dad's was Guinness. So, on the anniversary of his death, every year at 2:20am - the time he passed away, I set my alarm, get out of bed, pour a Guinness and watch this break. Cheers Dad 🍺

[@Jegiro]

I know some of the comments here refer to pool hustlers and so on. The problem with that is pool tables are so much smaller and the pockets are significantly wider. On top of this the championship snooker tables have tighter pockets than normal club tables. What he did here is beyond belief, this is probably the most difficult “perfect” game of any sport to accomplish. He also managed it with blinding speed. Another factor that this particular video does not show is that Ronnie can play left-handed to 90-95% as good as right-handed, and with the same speed. There has never been another snooker player like him, the most century breaks, the most maximums, all done at incredible speed, an absolute genius at work!!!!!

[@rlf1989]

I got goosebumps reading that

[@sparkeyjames]

I'd beg to differ with your most difficult status of a snooker perfect game. Pitching a perfect game in baseball is far tougher. There have been only 23 perfect games pitched (24 if you count the fact that Armando Galarraga was robbed of one by a bad umpire call on what should have been the last out of the game) in 140 years of major league baseball. For those unfamiliar with a baseball perfect game it is that a pitcher retires all batters of the opposing team 27 times without a hit or a walk. Also consider that pitching a baseball is far more physical than bending over a snooker table.

[@ade3628]

I agree, but I expect some American will say different as only someone from the US could do something special

[@sparkeyjames]

I'm not knocking that making a snooker maximum is difficult but their are degrees of difficulty some more physical than others for some things we like to call SPORTS. The important point being that there have been only 23 perfect games pitched in 140 years of professional baseball. The ultimate perfect game in baseball would be a pitcher striking out all 27 batters. It has NEVER been done. That 23 number has been surpassed by just two snooker players O'Sullivan and Hendry. No pitcher in baseball has ever pitched two perfect games in their careers. The key here is degree of difficulty.

A big reason as to why this was achievable was the role played by the referee. On 14 of the 15 reds, he had the black back on its spot by the time (or before) the white stopped rolling. The only time he placed the black a bit late was after 3rd red, where he placed it some 1/2 a second after the white had stopped. Big credit goes to this official, who was part of history that will most likely never be repeated, but I've never seen him being given any credit. I could be mistaken, but I do not recall reading anything anywhere about this official's role.

one of the reasons why this break is so quick is that it is almost flawless, beside two or three slight inaccuracies. most shots in this break are of the category "its hard to place the white better by hand". and therein lies its magic, i think. he makes it look so easy and flawless that you can find yourself thinking "i could do that", but of course one can not. its the effortlessness where true greatless lies - this is the true magic of genius, at least IMHO.

It might not be in a technical sense the best break ever. There have been, at least on the surface, more difficult clearances. There have been breaks that have been made under what you might call higher pressure circumstances. There have been many breaks made against tougher opponents(no offence Mick) and there have even been many 147's that tick each and every one of these boxes if we really must spend the time debating their various merits for the purposes of comparison. But no frame of snooker, let alone a 147, has been made to look so effortless and so has been so beautiful to watch as a result than this frame of snooker and it is exactly because of the absolute genius of Ronnie O'Sullivan in the 5 minutes it took him to compile this break in the fashion he did that we are even in a position to make such comparisons because despite what people might think what he did here was not easy....that's just how he made it look. There aren't many records that I see as being unbeatable. This is one of the very few. There also isn't a single other player in the game that I would be comfortable attaching the label genius to and I would be happy to put my money where my mouth is to say that the vast majority of snooker fans, and snooker players for that matter, if asked would not hesitate for a second to agree that Mr Ronnie O'Sullivan is indeed a genius of the green baize.

Funny to see im back again watching this. Still find it amazing that he pulled this off even though he hardly chalked his cue the whole break.

[@deantongue3677]

cameron smith ...think you need to watch it again fella...I counted he chalked his cue at least 25 times...!

[@cammy_flage7300]

Lol fair enough but id didnt seem as though he was. He was just straight up potting at god level hahaha.

[@lajohnson1ly]

His positions were so good he was hitting many center ball shots and just using the natural angles and speed to get to the next shot. He didn't need to chalk for all those. Can't see anyone, even Ronnie, doing it faster than this, ever.

[@caffreys1979]

One of the other reasons it was so fast....

[@AgglomeratiProduzioni]

It probably doesn't even hurt to lose to such a masterpiece.

[@roberthudson1959]

Losing is your fault. Being beaten is not. If your opponent makes a 147, you were beaten.

I've seen many times and it's still great true art on a snooker table.

[@stephenkemp1884]

Absolutely amazing pure brilliance a legend of a snooker player

[@MrMucera]

The apparent casualty, the relaxed strokes...i have rarely ever seen anybody so "in the zone". There was no doubt in his mind, he just did it. Everytime i watch it i get a bit anxious even though i know he won't miss.

[@TelmoGuitar]

Every time someone tells me “give me 5 minutes” I come and watch Ronnie, better than a watch

[@tonyfranklin8306]

Should be plaudits for Len Ganley here also, the speed with which he puts the black on its spot is significantly faster than modern day refs, it allows Ronnie to get down on the next red without any delay whatsoever so doesn't interrupt his flow. Without Ganley's brilliant position that he keeps below the table out of shot (most would be moving around like a blue arsed fly) which allows him to stride speedily to the pockets, the time taken would have been at least 30 seconds longer.

I only watch snooker when this dude is playing... everyone else just looks like a tryhard nxt to him

[@oddities-whatnot]

holy merkin youre not a real fan then. Its like supporting Man Utd only when theyre winning.

[@Enzoblueblood]

Ronnie O'Sullivan v who?

[@robwright1286]

I'm assuming you're a pretty casual fan then, they said that when Higgins retired I'm sure somebody eccentric will come along when Ronnie retires

[@MikePhoenix007]

This was actually revised to 5 mins 8 seconds. They had started the clock 12 seconds too early. You can see that even in this video. It starts at 0:24 and ends at 5:32

[@terryarrow702]

I’ve just listened to Ronnie’s interview on dessert island discs & am now watching this. Most excellent 👍🏼 😅

ronnie’s 92 break in 2012 world championship final vs ali carter is better than this

[@This-Place-Called-Earth]

I remember it well, bbc coverage wasn't live at the time. I saw it happening on ceefax, and the hype of the news spread well fast, myself and mate tuned in for a start of coverage from the crucible just after 5pm and then they showed it. It was amazing feat, it brought me joy and good memories watching this back. Was only 14/15 at the time I believe. What a legend. Was due to watch him at the Masters few weeks ago against Higgins but he pulled out. Was gutted not to see the Goat of snooker..that is Ronnie O'sulivan..

[@barmouthbridge8772]

the finest skill based sporting display ever. ever. ever. 9 dart finishes are just that. 147's are miles beyond and to do it that fast is just ridiculous. never be beaten. never ever ever.

[@johnp515]

@@robinelliott-ni2eh Of course Bolt’s World Record will be broken. All World Records in athletics eventually are. This may not be because there are no extra points for playing faster, there’s usually no reason to play this fast in Snooker.

[@robinelliott-ni2eh]

@@johnp515 look it up, you can get much faster than bolt... chances are it won't be broken. You play this fast in snooker when you're the best and have sniffed the devil's dandruff not long beforehand.

[@johnp515]

@@robinelliott-ni2eh look what up? All Athletics records are eventually broken, athletes get stronger and faster and they are constantly striving to break records. Some records last a long time but they are always eventually broken so Bolt’s record will definitely be broken, someone faster than Bolt will come along. My point was that this record in Snooker may not be broken because Snooker players are not striving to get faster. Do you get it?

And he made it look so easy, uf anyone had the opportunity to play at a real snooker table you know how difficult it can actually be. Amazing.
