Loved the pink and black shots and trying to copy them as a kid. Stacks of right hand screw on the pink and left hand screw on the black. Beautiful.

Wow. Poor Tony...:(

Wow! A collection of great videos on snooker. The videos are an excellent way of learning snooker or refining your game while sitting in front of PC.

This is pretty crazy. Malaysian kid plays Stephen Lee off the table!

Muppet Man

two 147's in one session from Shaun Murphy from an exhibition with Jimmy White on 18th May.

Despite misleading title, they were not back to back (in a row), but in frame 4 and 6. Still incredible achievement.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJbpiODJO0g

cant seem to embed.

dball

that shot, wow, how did he get that spin, i've never seen it before:

from 9min 37 sec.

Arthur Daley

Phenomenal amount of check side. It seems to defy the laws of physics that ball. Jimmy had such a fluent delivery and amazing timing in his prime to allow him to be able to play shots like that. It was a thing of beauty to watch.

dball

i did see him play in Goffs one year
it was amazing, didnt really appreciate it as i was about 11 or 12

Hendry best shots recreated:

Fearless shots under pressure.

gormdubhgorm

Dracula (Ray Reardon) beating John Parrott in the final frame of the 1985 World Quarter Final.

Scores tied 12 frames each (deciding frame) Reardon snookered Parrott on the last red. @ 42 points Parrott - 35 Reardon.

Played some great shots under pressure - brown pot and black to yellow in particular.

The Nal

Stumbled up on this. Remember it so well. When Jimmy was the main man.

Alex Higgins v Steve Davis 1983 UK Championship Final

Interview at end : Davis said (seriously) he was glad he was in a close match because it would get boring otherwise!

1985 UK Championship Final Davis v Thorne

The one where Willie missed the blue off the spot to go 14-8

gormdubhgorm

Fascinating one Davis v Hendry 1989 World Championship SF

Could see Hendry was almost ready and Davis' battle hardened experience the only difference.

Clash of styles and generations.

Arthur Daley

On the Davis v Thorne 85 UK final, people slag off the BBC coverage today.

But in this UK final at the very height of the snooker boom, 6 months on from the black ball final, in the second tournament on the circuit, the BBC didn't show the final session live!

Also check out the closing montage 'That's what friends are for'. Quite a cheesey number. As middle of the road as one of David Vine's sweaters.

Saw this interesting video about Nick Pearce back in the 1990's

Never heard of him myself even beat Ronnie O'Sullivan when he was ranked no3.

Short documentary on him.

Was still on the go in 2016 when he won the Paul Hunter Memorial tournament.

"Ronnie The Joy of Six" 2020 - Ronnie O'Sullivan in an interview with Colin Murray on Eurosport. All about his reflections and thought processes during each of his World title wins.

He seemed really open and relaxed in the interview. And gave a great insight how his mind works.

This one is a bit of fun. Referee's from the 1995 World Championship. David Vine presenting.

The challenge was for them to get the snooker ball/cue ball to land on the baulk line as close as possible. Disqualified if they hit the baulk cushion. They all have two goes.

Nice one. Little tear in my eye watching a relatively nimble looking Len Ganley there. Legend of the game and all round lovely man.

I watch the channel a lot... he's entertaining enough... love the recreation attempts he does.

Yeah, gives the mere mortal an idea of how difficult a shot was. Good tips as well.

Muppet Man

This is worth a look... Fastest clearance attempt - wonder what could Ronnie do. Very little room for improvement.

Here is a fantastic analysis of Ronnie O'Sullivan's cue action. It has no back pause and is like a circular piston apparently. Also does not try to hit the ball in the centre always deliberately puts a small trace of side on each shot.

Must have taken this fella ages to analyse it.

Fascinating stuff. Ronnies "piston" action is certainly very noticeable, not something i dont think you can teach out of a manual.

I love that type of analysis. I'd love to see him do judds and how it developed because judd definitely did not have his current cue action as a junior. Also, I'm convinced Bingham actually rotates the butt of the cue as he pushes through the shot which would seem a very unusual thing to do but it seems to me what he does. No two actions are the same, like golf swings, what makes it so interesting.
