Maximum Break - 3 mins 50 secs. 9 Foot Snooker (9 month progress)

- 9 months, 13 days and about 5 hours after the table was installed.
My initial hope was 50 breaks (maybe) after about a year. So this is pretty cool, a real testament to divorce worthy tunnel vision and the sheer power of brute force repetition. I was so, so hyped on my first colour clearance when I got the table and it took bloody ages.
I'm pretty sure this was at a distance past midnight so I was very tired (hence muddling the colours) and it isn't the prettiest, but still....
Painfully, I actually hit my first three of these in the last three days, but sadly, alas, my camera lost it's mind whichvery nearly caused me to lose mine in retaliation. The first maxi was just straight garbled with glitches/freezing etc, the second was similar (but passable) so it was a relief to get this video which has worked as it should. Both the previous were 'better' breaks in my humble opinion, but between 4m30 and 5m long - so slower.
Being able to say '3m50 maxi' feels more clickbaity without actually lying anyway😉, 10 reds is the norm on a 3/4 table I believe.
I'll try to knock another (more proficient and less hurried) one in in the next week or so and probably stick it up when I do.
Anyway - not sure what the new 12 month grail target is now! I don't think a 15 red maxi is super viable, it gets a little crowded without the extra breathing space a 12 foot allows.
Who knows, we shall see.

So somebody pointed out to me that it looked as if the white was going in, thankfully (!!) I still had the end of the clip which can be seen with zoom and slow motion here:

It's also now hyperlinked at the end of the video.
I'm honestly horrified that if I'd pushed 'stop recording' a milisecond earlier - literally - I'd have had to delete this. Mercifully, I push stop *just* after the cue ball has rolled past the pocket.
Unbelievable.
😬
Well played mate 👍
Well done. Funny you had the yellow and green on the wrong spots for most of the break
@@EnglishPoolandSnooker I was very tired at this point 🤣
Many thanks 🙏🙂
Well done, excellent “Dull” achievement 😉
You are a star, and I'm sure very dull too 🙂
Well played, boet!! You have done the Dull Men's Club proud! Really good positional play, especially on those final few reds.
Whoever you are Xenny - you are one of the good ones 🙂
@@Davidtavernor I'm a fellow Dull Men's Club member, also a snooker player who never in my wildest dreams have come close to your achievement! Highest break ever was 49 on a 12-footer, and that was a good twenty years ago. Well done again, buddy!
@@Xenny_Brown You have honestly made my day, my friend.
And a 49 is nothing to be sniffed at!!! Although my heart bleeds for you if missing the half century was wounding.
Well done. Given me motivation to persevere on my 8ft table. Roughly how much practice have you been putting in ?
Thank you, and yeah you should! I'm blessed/cursed with tunnel vision so it's been a lot, but from a beginnner starting point. Considering sometimes I'll spend hours in there and occasionally don't have time etc... Maybe an hour a day average? Not sure. Quite a lot thought, the room is now my office as well as having darts/TV/Guitars/music/air con etc so makes sense to be in there most of the time 🙂
