TOP 33 Lucky Shots | World Snooker Championship 2022

33 best flukes, lucky snooker shots from World Snooker Championship 2022
Featured: Mark Williams, Judd Trump, Ronnie O'Sullivan, John Higgins, Neil Robertson, Thepchaya Un-Nooh, Yan Bingtao, Shaun Murphy and other top snooker players

[@lunakim19]

I have no idea what are the rules of this game I randomly clicked on this video and for me all shots looks equally amazing 😂

[@mrkv4k]

Well oversimplified, just put those balls into one of those holes (pockets). These are fluked shots, where players were lucky and scored even though they missed the intended shot.

[@mxdori9905]

@@mrkv4k he probably meant the rules of snooker

[@murk1e]

@@mxdori9905 Which, oversimplified is ‘just put those balls into one of those holes’. Job done

[@murk1e]

Red = 1, yellow = 2, green =3 then brown, blue, pink, black = 7. Pot a red, you get the chance to go for a colour. Miss and you lose your turn. When pot last red, you can go for one colour, then, pot colours in order. If you foul, 4 points to opponent, minimum - bigger penalty for a foul such as potting a pink. The table size is HUGE - about 4 pool tables worth. Hope this helps.

That's a great video because of the context you gave after each shot. Well done! This World Championship was unforgettable, one of - if not the best championship I've ever seen in the past 15 years.

[@medved5925]

And semifinal Trump - Williams - best match I've ever seen!

[@Aikisbest]

For an amateur like me that plays billiards for fun sometimes, it is kind of hearthening to see that even the pros miss what seems to be straight-forward shots sometimes, especially long ones.

[@MinkSquared]

Its encouraging, because it ahows that everyone misses sometimes

Only one clip from Sullivan and it's just pure skill :D

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

I know I don’t understand how they said “fluke” when all of his shots are that exact same level of skill. Hahaha

[@omaralonso4364]

@@HardxCorpsxKali players apologise after a lucky shot because it's good sportsmanship, ideally all their shots would be intentional and luck would play no role in the game so they know they're flukes because they look at the opponent and discretely shrug, raise their eyebrows, or wave their hand to apologise for the lucky shot

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

@@omaralonso4364 well I suppose that’s what most of them were doing but for Sullivan the shot was exactly intentional. There was nothing about that shot that was a fluke.

[@hamzazilani6398]

He made a monster fluke on a re spotted black in the final which for some reason Wasn’t included

[@Zylber7]

The crowd's reaction makes me feel like I'm playing Wii Sports lol

[@Fifury161]

3:50 - that was no fluke - that was skill! (I guess he didn't mean to pot it - but the expression on his face says otherwise!)

[@user-yj9wn9mu7k]

I can’t agree with you more.

[@DanGanev]

I agree

[@MikeDCWeld]

We all know that #3 wasn't a fluke. Ronnie O'Sullivan played that perfectly with his top notch skill and finesse.

[@medved5925]

Actually, all 33 position in that video wasn't a fluke. Every single player just played perfectly.

[@SergeantXray]

@@medved5925 Watching the first three, all were flukes. First one, pink ball went in different hole than intended, no problems there. Second one, he was positioning cue ball very close behind the black ball, so there was no easy shots for the opponent. Sinking the red ball meant that he had to now take that difficult shot himself. Third one, same as second, he positions the cue ball all the way at the top near the railing to give his opponent a difficult shot, a standard move to end your turns. But sinking it now made it difficult. These are my analysis, I could be wrong though.

[@SergeantXray]

Unless you people are just sarcasming all around, I can’t detect that shit

[@medved5925]

@@SergeantXray Well, that seems very funny to me, that of all flukes in this video man from up there sign out Ronnie's fluke, there's a few shots in this video, that looks like attack much more. I think that was a joke. So I respond to joke with a joke. That's all.

3:46 Thats not a lucky shot, that is a skillfull one. Edit : there are many shots that are lucky, but some are for me just skilled ones

[@SnookerPlanet]

He was going for a safety. Just hit half ball and hope it end up on the cushion. There is no chance to judge the swerve so precise on such a long distance

[@shehrouzenazarsolehry487]

I think he is right bcz to when spinning cue ball u dont know where its gonna finish so i think skillfull👍👍

I replayed this in awe too! That wasn't lust a fluke with a curveball :D

Finally after a long time with the flukes!!

[@Fuzcapp]

My fave snooker fluke is Ding going for a 147 against Ronnie. I think he miscues the yellow, but it ricochets into the middle pocket. Ronnie pisses himself laughing. Unfortunately Ding misses a shot right after, but it's a classic moment.

[@Obi1Classic]

I have no idea how Snooker works but I see a pool table, geometry, points, and 33 super lucky(?) shots. This pleases my brain.

[@my3dviews]

You always have to shoot a red first (if one still on the table), which is worth one point. Then shoot non reds, which each have a different value. Doesn't matter which hole they go in or how they got there if legally shot.

[@theskyisteal8346]

As someone who sucks at billiards and still lines up combo shots, bank shots and really tight cuts that should work, I find it difficult to believe that some of these were flukes as some look like fully realized versions of the shots I try to line up and miss. That said, fluke or not, these are the kinds of shots I like to see.

[@MSthesmart]

Williams had two chances but he bottled the final spot

[@pchbravo]

In 8-pool i play (mostly tournament rules like APA) All those fluke shots wouldn't count, as you have to call the ball and pocket. Any crazy shot has to be called. But TBH snooker is such a more difficult game I don't care that they give them the flukes.

[@aaronlefebre5060]

No idea why this popped up on my recommended list. I don't play pool, have no clue what the rules of snooker are, and wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of being able to play it, but this was satisfying to watch nonetheless.

[@apurplekiwi2239]

Fan if they're aiming for a pocket and they get a pocket it's not a fluke, just a different shot to expected.. it's the safeties that sink that are really nice flukes

[@ringtoneflex269]

You can make a one long video on how many flukes Mark Williams has got in his time at the table lol

[@Lizarius]

As someone with no knowledge of this kind of pool, all I can hear is "THAT STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE!"

[@Lizarius]

Really? Here, too? Give it a rest, sheesh

[@enochthetrucker9735]

I like snooker, but I like pool a little better, because in pool you call your shot (or use the honor system) and a "fluke" is called "slop" (short for "sloppy") and even though the ball still stays in the pocket, their run ends right there (unless it's a kid, then slop usually counts).

[@HadToChangeMyName_YoutubeSucks]

Flukes are just part of the game, no apology needed in my opinion. Both players should just grin and get on with it. I've seen Kyren Wilson actually gets angry when he flukes one, but name me a player who never flukes and I'll call you a liar. And if you make your ball but leave yourself snookered that's a fluke too, but no one apologizes for that!

[@hamzazilani6398]

Really surprised u never included ronnies fluke on the re spotted black in the final, was expecting that to be number 1

[@SnookerPlanet]

It wasn't a fluke. Players usually aim for this shot into the side pocket. They play a safety, but it has a chance to go in

By the reactions of the audience and the faces of the players after nailing those shots, as a complete outsider I have absolutely not idea if they are playing hella good or absolutely bad.

[@piotrfrozen]

I consider 3:46 not as a fluke. He definitely intended to put that red ball into that hole... :P

[@SnookerPlanet]

Definitely not. The chance of it is about 1%

[@piotrfrozen]

@@SnookerPlanet Ok but most of the videos show flukes when someone is aiming for a hole, but the ball ends in a different. In this case the goal was for sure touch the red ball, and (if possible) to get it inside the bottom right hole. That's a very hard shot, but not impossible, and definitely closer to what he intended to achieve, than any other video in this compilation ;)

[@jakecooper5855]

@@piotrfrozen Potting it was a fluke, there's no way at that pace he was going for the pocket. The far more likely outcome of that would have been setting the red up over the pocket. It has a safety shot and he fluked the pot. Use some common sense. Not even the best pros in the world can consistently and accurately hit full length swerve shots to pot, they aim to hit half the red and bring the cue ball back up the table.
