As soon as we all saw the Shaun Murphy shot during the tournament, we all were thinking this will be an interesting one for break from life

[@kausarbangash007]

I thought the same at the exact moment. lol

Not really. He actually knows how to play unlike the rest of u 🤷🏽‍♂️. The shot was a calculated fluke.

[@hodgie9881]

was waiting for this

[@thepagan5432]

Shot E by Shaun Murphy was intentional and frankly brilliant, also well done to you for the recreation of it. Shot F by Robert Millkins looked to me as if he was going for the furthest ball away from him, but got the closest one instead. Thanks for posting these awesome shots, your cue power has got much better with the back spin. When I saw Shaun Murphy's unbelievable shot I thought you would have a go at it so well done 👍

[@jama211]

I actually think Shaun was meaning to run it directly along the cushion and hit the red, not trying to pot it like that, and the commentators at the time said so as well, which makes it a bit of a fluke. But still really cool!

[@thepagan5432]

@@jama211 Yeah, looking at it again, that is a possibility. The only thing that made me think Shaun had gone for it was how hard Shaun played it. I admire Shaun's play so perhaps I am a wee bit biased, lol. Good point though 👍

[@equisde8026]

no, he did not mean it to come off the baulk cushion

[@thepagan5432]

@@equisde8026 As I said to jama211, he had hit it sufficiently hard to bounce back off the baulk cushion and that's why I believe there was some intention with the shot. The spin to bring the ball back to the right can be caused by the use of the pocket jaw to effect the change of direction with the cue ball. Played for or fluke, either way a brilliant shot.

[@johnmc3862]

​@@jama211 If he wanted it along the cushion he wouldn't have hot it that hard. Hitting it hard puts spin on it and brings it out from the cushion.

[@sircxx8621]

Shaun Murphy has previous when it comes to these types of shots. Pure genius - and well done for recreating it!!

[@tesla-spectre]

great work. I could never make any of them and the level of competence of the pros shows in that they cannot try several times relaxedly at home but play such shots in often critical situations where missing it would leave the table open for the opponent.

[@dhirajpallin2572]

Yeah Break From Life is a great player, but damn the pros are just so, so accurate both in shot making and position.

[@Robbie_Roy]

11:27 When you're playing powerful shots, you want to stay down on the shot and not jolt in the air. I learnt it from pool and is very valuable to both snooker and pool

[@dominicandjuliebusch4913]

There was a private game between Virgo and A Higgins where he pots the pink along the cushion and the black one handed. I would love it if you replicated that combo in sequence?

[@rehanzafar2880]

I would really like you to show us how many Snooker shots are there I mean types of shots

[@UguysRnuts]

Watch Shaun's concentration as the cue ball passes the side pocket before kicking off the baulk end. If it had been a fluke he would have reacted to the miss on the first pass. Not a flinch and then perfect position on the black. 100% intentional.

[@dominicandjuliebusch4913]

Also, i cannot find it anywhere, but there was a shot on the black by James Wattana and i think it was 92 WC. The black was maybe 5 mill off and in the middle of the black cushion and it was hit with trump like pace and top spin. Didn’t rattle the jaws either. Think it was in the best shots of that WC

[@salsabil44]

When going for the deep screw shots you should take note of how your cue flies up at the end of the stroke compared to the pros.

[@UguysRnuts]

Not all pros. Luca Brecel is even more extreme.

[@Bikerboythousand]

I watch your videos and to me, you are a pretty good player and its great that you re create these shots but you take 3 or 4 or 7 attempts to do them. Now a big round of applause to the pros as they do it on the 1st one. Amazing shots!

[@UguysRnuts]

By selecting these as the best shots he's giving credit where due. If he got them in one, they wouldn't have been difficult in the first place would they? Respect.

[@M1schievous1]

Would really like to see content of you playing matches instead of just shot recreations. Great video nonetheless

[@davebbarton]

It's very disconcerting that you've changed the order of the side by side scores. It used to be Shot Difficulty on the left and Recreation Accuracy on the right. I hadn't even realised how used to that arrangement I was until the new arrangement completely threw me.

[@willbick7889]

I think the hardest shot to recreate would be Murphy's intentional miss in the last frame of the final 😜

[@troysmeets173]

5:36 well he doesn't have to anymore now😅

[@Breakfromlife]

I forgot about this. Maybe it was this shot that started it all

[@balball4357]

Shot J Ronnie o Sullivan double : cue ball didn't hit the cushion. He drew the cue ball. So I guess recreation accuracy would be a 5/10 instead.

[@kshitijkumarsaini9501]

Comment from command line

[@jmyogi17]

The guy in the audience didn’t look that impressed 😂😂😂

[@madaboutsnooker147]

also if you frame by frame analyse it, its more like a 5 out of 10 in accuracy, as he actually hits the black cushion before the 2 jaws. But I imagine your cloth age will hinder you slightly from doing it that way. But yea, the shaun escape is so random, even if he did actually play it. Check my video to see how many times i failed before getting it.

[@kennyjohn8301]

Kenny john from addis ababa ethiopia

[@phil2768]

Your Recreation Accuracy for the Shaun Murphy shot shouldn't be 7/10, I'd say 5 out of 10. 5 for pulling the pot off, 0 for positional play, because he got right on the black, you didn't get anywhere near it, even snookering yourself.

[@jamesfisher5233]

I really dont understand how you give yourself such high accuracy ratings for some the shots you recreate. Some of them are nowhere near the outcome of the shots that were actually played

[@guyp3599]

Do you think Shaun Murphy's shot was intentional? Wouldn't most players HAVE to pay that shot into the jaws JUST to get out of the snooker and hope to hit the red? It just seems too beyond comprehension that he intended to put that side on and it bounce off the bottom cushion with exactly the right amount of side. I dunno

[@UguysRnuts]

Then why hit it with the perfect speed to end up on the black instead of leaving the cue ball in baulk??

[@sharpvidtube]

@@UguysRnuts Because you have to hit it hard anyway. There's no chance he was thinking of potting the red and getting on the black. He needed snookers, so the last thing he wanted was to pot the red, as it's far easier to get extra points with a free ball, when the red is still on the table. I also noticed he didn't look at the top cushion before playing the shot, so if it was possible to judge, he would at least look at where the cue ball had to go, as he does with other shots, that aren't flukes.

[@marcorossi8345]

i think shot e accuracy is a 5

[@gandhimahatma3304]

IMO murphys shot was a fluke but also calculated. I thinking he intended to play it the way your first attempt went but in case he over shot it he wanted to give himself another chance at getting it off the top cushion 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@pakalak3]

Your cue jumps up after every hit. Is that a bad habit or a purposeful thing you do? I thought that's not a good practice to do? I come from pool world I dono if there is some difference here.

[@radokenen9048]

easy shots for me....

[@colincolenso]

This guy is a liar. I've done this type of recreate difficult shots for decades. Sometimes I'll barely jaw a ball out 10 times in a row without making the shot. This guy regularly hits way off his mark left and right the first 4 or 5 attempts, then nails one. This can happen, but not consistently. I'm 100% sure he fakes his attempt numbers.

[@UguysRnuts]

There's a reason Break from Life has a quarter million subscribers and after "decades" you have 1400. If you were a gentleman you'd delete your unfounded insult. I won't hold my breath.

[@mickmck13847]

I think you messed ronnies double up I'm sure he only used the black cushion. You used the side cushion and black cushion. Also can i ask what chalk your currently using??

[@V081WLBlue]

Pretty sure Murphys shot was a fluke!

[@pimpdaddy7127]

Mr Murphy, Sir, I normally rely on Messer's O'Sullivan and Trump for the extra ordinary, but sir with that shot, I take my cap off and say, welcome to the club

[@ARSEABOUTFACE]

Brilliant... I'm still 50/50 on whether or not shauns shot was a fluke. Did he mean to catch it on the way up the table, like you did in your attempts? He's playing out of his skin at the moment, so fair play to him.

[@Breakfromlife]

He did seem to look at it but it’s difficult to know for sure

[@kausarbangash007]

I mean they are all good players but no one is that good. I am thinking he just wanted to hit the redoff the jaws as that's what you would normally try to do without being overly ambitious

[@elgringo1893]

100% a fluke, he's playing off the jaws along the cushion. The spin is imparted by the jaw and not the players input so you can't really control the spin or direction playing off the baulk cushion, therefore it's more luck than anything if you are actually going for the shot and are able to hit it.

[@danjeory3659]

@@elgringo1893 Have to disagree... if you look again just before he hits it, he looks up again very quickly just to look at the point on the baulk cushion he wants to hit. That makes me think he was aiming for around there knowing that it would come back with check side. Also, he would know any contact and the red would probably drop, which would have been impossible from the other direction...

[@DavidGarcia-uy2sx]

If you watch Murphy's shot in slow motion you can see the cueball glances off the top cushion before hitting the far jaw of the pocket
