Rules are easy, game is hard. You should firstly pot a red ball, than Black, blue or others. If you hide the ball behind the Black or blue or else, the shot is good because your opponent will play next, so he cant be able to reach any Red ball

Well yeah. There are only 27 possible points on the table and he needed 30 to win. So he had to force his opponent to make a foul. And you do that by making it impossible for them to hit the "ball-on" (in this case it's yellow, because it's end of the frame).

@@basilsini9739 it's very hard to play a safety here that doesn't leave one of the reds available for the opponent. Ideally you'd probably want to play a soft shot here to put the cue ball near the reds in bottom left. However, the yellow ball is blocking that avenue. This shot was not only a clever idea on how to put the red there in a different way, but also technically difficult (the rotation he played here is not easy to pull off with this much control).

Brilliant great snooker you really know the game.

more of this please

If you enjoy this sort of play - you will like my PC Snooker game - quicksnooker.com - It's been 20 years in the making - and has the physics and rules to make all of these shots possible - playing online against other people you will get to appreciate the strategy and skill involved in the game. Something makes me smile in every frame I play, and if you prefer you can play any of 14 'AI' computer opponents - getting them to play plausible 'intelligent' Snooker (rather than just a potting rampage) was one of the biggest challenges.

Mark Williams and Ding are giving me such good vibes - I bet they are very humble human beings

If you know anything about pool you should pickup on it pretty easily. Most of these shots are defensive and the goal is to either hide from a cherry and once all of those are gone hide them from the lowest value ball on the table because I think you have to make them lowest to highest in value.

In snooker you get points if you opponent fails to make a legal move. So there's places where it's better to create a difficult shot for your opponent than pot.

Once I looked up the rules of snooker this became very impressive

Exhibition shots are what players under pressure resist under stressful times, practicing they wouldn't think twice.

15:02 - Amazing !!!

10:20 I really like this shot, first time I saw it.

Sean Murphy's 7 cushion pot of the yellow in the last clip can be found in another video! :)

The very last shot on here gets my vote of being the best of them all.

For people saying they know nothing about snooker you just have to follow 2 steps: 1) First you pot a ‘red’ ball THEN any colour and so on. 2) When red balls are finished you pot colour balls.(every colour ball is worth some points starting from 2 to 7 so you pot lowest one first and end it by potting highest one last) Now if you’re following the above 2 steps and you missed a pot and the other player isn’t able to follow the above steps or is having difficulty in doing so, that is considered a good shot by you. Ps: My bad if I missed something,I’ll edit it later once the missed part is pointed out.

I wonder if they did it in purpose 😅 those snooker too beautiful to see.
