Snooker is not only about potting and break-building, but also about being smart and making the right decisions. These shots prove you that.

This to me is snooker, these little safety shots and brilliant roll-ups, awesome complicated but doable shots are snooker. The game is lost nowadays with long pots and massive breaks, but that isn't what the game should be known for, it's the other stuff that makes it so brilliant

these are very good "shots" to be sure, but I wish we also could see the following shot; how well did each player respond to the challenge?

@GTKomissaR Couldn't you just cut the one fragment into two short fragments, one being "clever shot" and the the next one with following shot?
GTKomissaRAylar önce
Matchroom disables monetization if the fragment is longer than 30 seconds. It doesn't allow me to show the next shot.

@Homer J. Simpson "showed a lot of bottle" = was very brave, (or fearless)

@MarkBak76 Sorry, I'm not a native speaker so please cut me some slack if this sounds spectacularly dumb, but what does "showed a lot of bottle" mean?

Can’t bear him for some reason even as an Irishman....did like it when he put it up to Ronny last year....showed a lot of bottle

3:53 -- this was so good spectators didn't even realise and kept silence.

That's from the Championship League Snooker - it doesn't have any spectators.

Not sure where this is taken from, but it might just be a match without any specators.

2:27 -- wow I always thought it's random where the ball goes after that corner. 15:23 -- another one
Benjamin Wang2 gün önce
it's random if you hit it too hard, or hit it too close to the pocket. Also these tables are incredibly flat so balls can roll really straight even when they're slow.

Not really. It's just a basic understanding of geometry

Glad to see some great shots by some impressive players rather than another snooker video made for the Ronnie fanboys

16:50 really got me thinking, because even after spending quite an amount of time thinking about the brilliance behind this shot, I still can't quite work out the vision behind playing it this way. It would be nice if anyone here can enlighten me on this! Cheers for the great video once again!

@Mervyn Tong Wow, I get it now, thank you!

@waytothewill The typical safety shot in that situation would be to play the pink onto the side cushion (not past the middle pocket), and leave the white roughly parallel with the pink. Jordan could then have the chance to play the pink towards the baulk end and try to move the black with the white. Playing it the way Mark did eliminated this option for Jordan.

OK, but any shot would move the pink away from the black anyway, wouldn't it?
DeepSkyMikeAylar önce
Selby’s opponent needed the black so Selby moved the pink away from it so his opponent wasn’t able to use it or the cue ball to move the black off the cushion.

"The Most Clever Shots in Snooker" @3:15 Lawler shot the red for a safety? what was clever on that shot lol.
GTKomissaRAylar önce
Lawler used two reds on the cushion to hold the object red far from the cue ball, brought these two reds into play as he needed them to win the frame since he was 45 points behind, and put the cue ball safe. The only thing Thepchaiya can do in this situation is to go for a risky 50/50 pot to the left center pocket. If he misses the red, Lawler gets the frame winning opportunity, because the reds are spread perfectly. So, as you may see, Rod turned a losing situation into a frame where he had almost as many chances to win as his opponent.

3:17 what's clever about this shot
Jon Ranger2 gün önce
In order to put enough stun on the ball to hold it on the cushion near the black, he would have to hit the red hard enough that it would return to that end of the table and perhaps leave a pot on. By aiming the red so it hit the 2 reds near the middle pocket, he prevented the red he hit coming back down the table. It was not a fluke that the reds collided with one another, he played it that way as part of the safety.

Ha usato la rotondità della tasca centrale per sfuggire allo snooker e ha giocato con il bianco in una posizione sicura.

I will never appreciate a shot by Higgins for the simple fact he is a cheater. Great video though!

Not a cheater tho is he.
