Jimmy Whites 1994 missed black against Hendry in the World final ,probably one of the worst misses ,cost him the Championship .

[@AlonsoRules]

jimmy will remember that one for the rest of his days

[@Mitjitsu]

Jimmy missed it because the black wasn't on it's spot, because he rushed the shot. He never took that into account and missed it by a long way.

[@JonnyBGood-tk1vk]

Yeah can’t believe that a missed plant from ding was included and that one was forgotten about . Also didn’t Willie Thorne miss an important blue against Steve Davis and go on to lose?

[@Sharivari]

Haha, nice idea at the beginning with the ghost shot.

Many uploaders edited misses, while ure the first to analyze the cause and the way to improve. Well done!

[@GanjaESG]

Break from life , your videos are really accurate and I love to watch them. Greez from Leipzig Germany Keep up the good work 😌

[@chriswilliamson7694]

Surely Jimmy's missed black at 17-17 in the 1994 world final needs to be in? He was only 3 more reds and colours away from victory having lost FIVE finals already. And those reds and colours were there for the (very simple) taking, as Hendry stepped in to prove. Surely the most heart breaking miss of them all.

[@mindaugassimpukas3019]

There's still no Lithuanians on the map, would love to be the first one. (Lithuania, Kaunas)

[@jennaralissima]

One of the first things I learned about this game is that there is no shot so simple that it can't be missed for one reason or another. As much as I can, when faced with an 'easy' shot, I bring that thought to mind.

[@tommyk147]

Svitavy, Czech Republic. You produce great videos, keep doing them!

[@ChesterBowerman]

Love the videos man keep it up! To answer your question the reason why some left handers play rest shots right handed is through something called cross- dominance. It is quite common in left- handed people due to environmental factors forcing us to use right handed implements. As a result many left-handed people possess a right arm which is very competent and in some cases better suited to the task. I play snooker right handed but can play well left handed whereas I play tennis and golf left handed. It may seem confusing but it's all about a balance between natural conditioning and social factors. :)

[@Breakfromlife]

That makes sense

[@flucazade]

I think Phil Mickleson is the opposite of this right handed in everything apart from golf, his left hand swing apparently came from watching his dad play face on and the image was mirrored.

[@thecommission6662]

I'd have put Steve Davis's miss at number one, given that it cost him the World Championship. I'm right handed at everything apart from snooker, & that's because when I put my left hand on the table to make the bridge, it doesn't feel right compared to my right hand, so when I use the rest I have my cue in my right hand.

[@davidebocchi2896]

I'll try to give an explanation for that left handed fact. Everything depends on which hand you want to be more stable, that's the hand you will use your left hand. If you want to be more stable holiding the rest you'll hold it with the left hand and shoot with the right. Unfortunately I have never played snooker with a rest, but I think I will hold it with my left hand. Another example is when you use the knife: I use the knife with my right hand while I hold the steak with the fork with my left hand. I tried several times to do the contrary but it ended up with the steak not being cut well or flying off my dish. I also have other left handed friends and they do use the knife with the left hand. That's my guess based on my experience. Anyway keep up the great work, David from Milan, Italy

[@songzihan5566]

Great work keep it up (Zi Han from Singapore)

[@benntaylor4756]

I find it quite odd how I’m a right handed player yet I use the rest and break left handed and this confuses both me and my opponents. Because I have no reason to know why I do this

[@Mitjitsu]

I'm a left handed player who uses the rest right handed. I'm guessing it's because I'm left and right handed for different sports. For sports like golf and hockey they only have equipment for right handed people which forces you to learn the games that way.

[@seccondmousegetsthecheese4205]

[@smith0779]

Willie Thorne's miss on the blue when he was 13 - 8 up against Davis UK final has to be in the top 10. I felt his pain years later

[@mattc7940]

I'm from Dunoon in Scotland, great video!

[@tomnorton7817]

The left handed player / right handed rest combination can often occur for a couple of reasons: 1) There are players who are right handed in real life (Judd Trump), but happen to play snooker left handed. Therefore it's not totally surprising that they might use the rest right handed. I think Barry Hawkins might be similar in this regard 2) Sometimes it's just how the player is taught from a young age. I had a teammate who did this too, and he played right handed with the rest because that's how his dad taught him to use the implement. A wider point - and it's just my observation - is that left handed people tend to exhibit a greater degree of ambidexterity in day to day life. I'm left handed, but there are loads of things that I can either do with either preference (I'm quite ambidextrous in snooker, I can bat in cricket with either hand, etc.), and there are some things I do exclusively right handed (golf being one). In fact, I think I cue straighter right handed, although I have more power left handed. Even little things like using a calculator or a computer mouse are RH actions for me. Of course, someone like Ronnie is an exception, but in the nicest possible way... he's a freak of nature. Brains are weird!

[@arthurvlog6259]

Hey, I'm looking for the proper snooker table overhead lights. The problem is that I'm in US and we got only small pool table overheads. So I want to make my own for the best results. Can you tell about proper snooker lighting conditions, any secrets? Should it be fluorescent, incandescent or LED?

[@Breakfromlife]

I’ve got a basic shade with 3 of the highest power bulbs you can actually buy. However nowadays every club I play in is slowly upgrading to something like this rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273487889840

[@arthurvlog6259]

@@Breakfromlife I think old school shade will create more cozy environment and emphasise the actual game, less surroundings. I'm more interested in science aspect of lighting and different types of bulbs and how it affects aiming. Are there such concerns in the snooker world?

[@therealsuthon]

[@Breakfromlife]

That’s great that Snooker is finally promoting itself in Canada well overdue

[@cloudywolf1000]

@@Breakfromlife Snooker has been making a comeback for the past 3 yrs but not in a big way. American pool still has a huge influence here. It was really nice for Hendry and White to have come over and voiced their opinions about the abscence of canada in the world snooker scene. Unfortunately the young top talents that we currently have would be a laughing stock in the world amateur level...just my opinion. BTW...thank you very much for putting the time and effort to making cool and informative videos. They have helped me a lot. I'm a pool player that went from 1 break to 79 break

[@giacomopietrosanti-darts1195]

Great video! Giacomo from Roma, Italia

[@reav3rtm]

That Williams vs Hendry match was something else. You can see on camera Mark already was giving his hand to shake to Hendry only to pull it back in split second :)

[@batlin]

8:46 looks like Hendry did cue across it a bit, pulling the butt of the cue left towards his body which caused the tip to pivot the other way and add a trace of right-hand side to the ball.

[@Breakfromlife]

Mark Williams continuously claims he twitched on it. It became a running gag for a while

steve davis in '85 final against Taylor is my no. 1 as seen as he looked up, that was it

[@luckyspurs]

Love that Anthony Hamilton called the foul on himself. And won a ranking event.

[@timmy-qh1hb]

Number 8 Neil was conscious of being close to the pack.. he was stretching across the table. He was screwing into the pack and was more conscious of getting off the table in time before a red hit him rather than not having chalk. He ends up completely jabbing it with no timing. That's my view of it

Not sure how true that is. He definitely had a heart attack during that match but a lot of people say it was earlier on. But others remember him talking about this shot after the match.

really enjoyed this one and more so because I play right handed but I use the rest left handed. I also write left handed so I think this has something to do with it.

[@Breakfromlife]

Well there had to be someone. Although it’s possible as you say you leaned Snooker with your other hand

[@Knightlore10]

Break from life Nah, I’m just wired up wrong :-) play all racket sports right handed and favour right foot when kicking a ball. Only things I do left handed are write and hold the cue when using the rest. 🤷‍♂️

8:47 now I have never played snooker so probably not the right person to judge but to me it does look like he twitches. I realize that he was playing with side and I really can't judge any shot with side but either his aim looks off or he is correcting during the shot.

[@Daraghbreen]

Great video from cork ireland

[@michaelpeake7801]

Excellent!!

[@dhirajpallin2572]

Left handed people are often partially ambidextrous. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if Ronnie is actually a natural left-hander who for whatever reason learnt with his right. They say you can always tell definitively a guy's natural handedness by what hand he holds it with while peeing -- GATTACA

I have a mate who I play English pool with at a high level and he plays left handed yet for everything else he's right handed which I find extremely weird, and when we play snooker on occasion he uses the rest right handed as well.

[@Vicky-hm2fm]

👋 I am from Delhi India. I wanted to know what would happen when the only black remaining is fouled(white ball goes into pot) or (miscued) when the points difference between the player A and B is less than 7.? If player B having lead of 6 points fouls on the last black, then will the game continue or it will end the frame making Player A the winner.?

[@herrdoktorjohan]

If the black's the only ball left, any foul ends the game. So, in your scenario, Player A would come 1 point ahead and win the frame.
