TOP 31 Shots IN History!

[@asiseeit2041]

To future players. As my father taught me, I will share his advice. Play 8ball with regulation size balls on a snooker table. Once I was good at 8 ball on a snooker table, bar and regulation tables were nothing. Reasons are the pockets are smaller on a snooker table and area is much larger. It accelerated the development of my eye. Good luck

[@tiberiusclaudiusnerogermanicis]

UK 8 Ball or us? Ball sizes are very different

[@sparkyenergia]

I stayed in a hostel for 3 years, and they had 2 full size tables. Playing pool on 7ft tables in pubs was completely different after that experience.

[@asiseeit2041]

I live in the us

[@asiseeit2041]

Then you understand.

[@tiberiusclaudiusnerogermanicis]

@@asiseeit2041 so your playing on a snooker table with 2 1/4inch balls. That would help alot although the rail heights may affect your feel of bounces as it would react different. I only asked cos uk pool is played with balls under 2 inches smaller than snooker balls so would actually make it slightly easier. Good strategy though. And yes the pockets are tight as hell on snooker tables.

[@thegodofpez]

I’m a standard US billiards player, but man is there some talent on that foreign snooker field! Excellent show, thanks for the upload!

[@FunnyBilliardHilariousTric-g1r]

@fook. When he was playing Kirk (coke) Stevens ?

[@parkerbohnn]

@@paulchristie3306 I knew Kirk when he grew up. He used to play snooker at the Golden Cue in Scarborough, Ontario Canada. He went to Bendale high school but never went the school used to phone every weekday at 9:00am to make sure he was at the Golden Cue. Joe let him play for free and backed him if anyone wanted to play Kirk for money.

The voiceover is good. It provides context and the names of the players.

The voiceover wasnt needed

[@raskulx1664]

Perhaps, but I appreciated being given the occasional context (i.e., what tournament, what round). And I liked that the voiceover snippets were short.

[@ChrisChatfield]

imho, Commentary or not, I appreciate there being time to see the layout of the balls and what was being attempted before the cue ball was hit. Many compilations feel rushed to me - requiring pausing or rewinding to see the initial layout.

No, Stephen Lee is banned for match fixing.

[@vladomatoski1634]

@chrislaw4189 what does that have to do with choosing the best shot? By the way, there is one shot from him in the list, the extreme top spin on the black in order to open the two reds on the black cushion.

[@rocketsnooker147]

​​@@markjeffers4663 I don't think so bro, the cue ball control on those two shots was insane.

[@mikeorgan1993]

For some they missed the real skill in the shot. To double a ball the length of the table is one thing but to generate the power needed to keep the backspin alive to the point of contact is truly impressive and to cap it off he managed to judge the spin loss over 10 feet to end plum on the black. I remember Davis trying to replicate that shot, he managed to pot the pink once in 25 attempts but never managed to keep the spin on the cue ball once.

[@ASMRMARY-]

Great 👍

[@Auri831]

I have seen so many of these 'greatest shot' videos on youtube, but it is very rare that most of the shots on them are actually great shots. Kudos to ya, as it feels like you have actually done your research into great snooker shots to make this video, as I can see a strong case for each of these shots being one of the best in snooker history.

Strange promoting to have vests as part of the official uniform. “What if we made all the contestants look like valets on break?”

[@ChandrasegaranNarasimhan]

Hay I am not snooker or billiards player. If you want to chest, wear a heavy wrist band and biceps band. And hit the ball as fast as possible. Make the cue (hitting stick, is that what it is called?) with high moment of inertia from the point of grip so it won't twist. If there are restrictions on what to wear, then wear them during training and not during testing.---suggestions by physics nerd.

[@iatsd]

That was *almost* English. Sadly, however, it was mostly gibberish.

[@mikeorgan1993]

Total bollocks. Suggest you pick up a cue then in 20 years when you have the experience and skill you might understand why what you wrote is nonsense. By the way, power is produced by the shoulder and elbow not the biceps. If you force the shot you WILL miss. There is no twisting in a cue it is manufactured to make twisting impossible but you don’t know what you’re talking about so obviously that is why your comment was pure sewage. A two year old could do better.

[@chozusmakavelli]

Probably shouldn't be on this list as it was a fluke. He simply overhit the shot and got lucky that it still went in. But I think the white also went in so he wasn't really that lucky after all.
