Snooker on a Pool Table | Thorsten Hohmann's Maximum 147 Commentary

- Pool World Champion Thorsten Hohmann has a new TH-cam channel where he takes on any drill or challenge anyone throws at him. Subscribe here: / toasti404
In this video, Thorsten took a break from pool to give snooker a shot. Lucky for him, Thorsten was playing on a smaller table with bigger pockets, so the task wasn't quite as tough, but a maximum break on any table is no joke. In order to complete a 147 maximum break, a player must pocket a red ball followed by the black ball 15 times in a row without missing and then get all the colored balls in order to finish it off. Red balls stay in when pocketed, but the other balls come out until all the red balls are gone.

Kudos for acknowledgment and the respect shown for snooker.
Top player and sportsman!
They opened like wildflowers in the spring lol, nice statement.
Such a poet
The word you are looking for is “simile”
Love this video, Thorsten.
I’m a huge snooker fan primarily and seeing this done was great fun. Also, loved the respect you show to the game with the shout outs. In a world where so many people are tribal and “pick a side”, it was nice to hear.
Thank you.
I love how soft-spoken he is, he is a great narrator!
I wish there was more of these. I love the different cue sports being tried
now play 8 ball on snooker table
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly a brilliant idea!
LMAO !
someone needs to do this
DIFFICULT!
That was so refreshing to see a 147 break on a pool table with pool balls. Probably the fastest 147 ever, barring any faster from Ronnie o Sullivan. Thank u Thorsten for this brilliant display of cue ball control and shot making. Love from Singapore!
Great video! Finally a way to show how pool and snooker differ, yet also show how they are similar.
Amazing!! Such a polite way to talk. My hats off to you!!
I would love to see more snooker content!!
That was a super fun video to watch!
Straight pool snooker,... Great job, great practice. Thanks for post
Very good to watch. World class! 🎱
Loved the video. Thanks for the great commentary. Great shooting.
What a lovely video! Great skills, modest and knowledge dude, awesome! Thank you
Love the respect you show Snooker. A great break
Much respect for admitting that snooker is not as easy as pool and for respecting the game. I don't care for pool but I got your video recommended and wasn't dissappointed. You sound like a true gentleman and it would be interesting to see what you can do on an actual snooker table. Have a nice day.
I've played pool all my life and would say I'm quite decent at it, I often clear all the balls. I've also played snooker, and it's difficult to put more than a few balls in a row. The difficulty leap in snooker is incredible. Only once in my life I would say I was ok at snooker, my highest break being 48, which was one summer holiday in high school where I spent nearly every day playing 6h of snooker. 1 month after going back to school not playing snooker, and ever since, ive struggled to put more than 3-4 balls in a row in....
Wow. Great commentary and so well spoken. Great personality and humble. I've become a huge fan of your game and you as a person. Thanks for sharing
Great to see the high respect for snooker players. :)
Incidentally, if anyone thinks this is easy just because it's on a pool table, I encourage them to try it for themselves. Different tables have different characteristics and certain shots may be easier on certain tables, but maintaining concentration, technique and discipline takes skill on any table. A lot of time is spent arguing over which game is hardest, when it could be spent playing a wide variety of them and learning different key skills from each.
This 👆🤜🏻
A big difference is that when you play snooker on a pool table, it is a lot more crowded, and a lot of position shots aren’t possible on such a crowded table
@@Isuc_at_poolgolf Exactly. There is a lot more margin for positional error if you can pot accurately on a snooker table. Likewise, if you can get good position, the pockets and distances are more forgiving to inaccurate potting on a pool table, particulary the 9ft American ones. Then the 6-7ft English pool tables are another beast again, exercising your ability to navigate clusters and get balls in open play.
None of these things are trivial, and playing on a mixture of tables will make you a better player all round.
@@TheProf62 I totally agree
It’s really funny that many snooker jerks only judge the games’ difficulty by the size of the table and the pockets, and they’re like, “pool only kiddo game”, “snooker plays position more precise”
Well, snooker has a lot of room for players to play position, and even if you didn’t play good positions, you can always play on another colour. But in pool, take 9 ball as an example, one bad position may cause you to lose your turn or maybe even the whole rack. In my opinion, sometimes you actually need to play positions more precisely in pool than snooker.
@@TheProf62 but well, maybe people should just stop comparing them, they are two totally different games with different skills respectively. No game is harder than another, just as we don’t compare baseball and cricket. And we should all agree that they’re both entertaining and amazing games, so let’s all just enjoy these games:)
The quagmire in the back 😂 I love it
Thorsten gives great practical advice. His cueball control was pretty flawless. He's definitely on my list of players I need to play someday.
Thoroughly enjoyed it! And congrats on the 147.
I appreciated the acknowledgement to the differences between a pool table and snooker table, too.
Regardless, you demonstrated your significant talent and then some... nice!!!
Nice run!! To me, this is super impressive, snooker or pool table!! Very cool to see!
Very humble guy.This was a cool vid.To praise the snooker boys so well is to his credit.I hope he goes on to do more big things in pool im a fan now.Go on big man.
Great video!
The first minute alone, where you explain why you split the rack in the direction of the upper side of the table, shows how much thought you need to put into your plan before even attempting such a flawless run.
Great job!
Now this is some fresh content nice
that was really cool and entertaining to watch
Love this!
Great video! Love your comments on the choices you made that would have been different on a snooker table.
Enjoyed it, thank you.
That's awesome mate. I'm an avid snooker fan but really enjoyed watching this
Lovely! Made it feel easy
Great job ❤
bravo.. bravo.. you made it.. well done congratulations..
Really nice video! Well played
Amazing. And damn, that was fast.
Yep pretty amazing. Almost as fast as Ronnie's 147.
Love your commentary!
Really nice twist 147 on a pool table. It was very great positional play with good speed aswel.
Well done! A snooker 147 is no small achievement, even on a smaller table with larger balls! Also, many thanks to Kamui for posting this demo of snooker; we need much more snooker here in the U.S.! Having said that, however, it's also only fair to mention, as Thorsten did during his 147, that actual Snooker - on a 12-foot table with smaller balls and more challenging pockets - is an exceptionally challenging task. Plus, if I may, I would add that the game of snooker is not only a competition that can be won or lost, but also documents degrees of excellence given that it includes "century breaks" and "147's" among the achievements that snooker players may aspire to (as well as wins or losses), hence a snooker match has multiple levels of interest for both players and fans. Plus, of course, snooker is not unlike a game of chess in that it requires much more strategic play and cue ball control than do the games of 9-ball or 8-ball or even straight pool. Lastly, snooker in recent years has amassed quite an international following, and the international pro tour includes frequent competition events and some very serious prize money. We need more snooker in the U.S.! Well done! Thank you again!
This was cool! I'm a regular snooker player in the states, local pool hall has 3 tables. Never seen snooker on a pool table, but looks like a blast. I like the stuffed Quagmire too lol
Nice video, makes me want to play
Great run and its nice to see a pro pool player showing you dont have to either pick snooker or pool and dislike the other. PS: would be fun to see pool on a snooker table
They have that its called Chinese 8 ball
Oh yeah, saw those incremental marks on the rails. Super man cave!
Second
STOP WATCHING OTHER YOU TUBERS AND MAKE MORE VIDEOS ROLLIE!! I need to see more videos with you and Hunter
Rollie. Any plans to come to the uk after the whole covid thing? Theres a uk pool tournament at a place called the blue dolphin and it would be a great experience for you.
@@rhaazy ID rather see videos with Jennifer baretta. Giggity, Giggity goo! That was bc that quagmire.. Not bc Jennifer.. Or was it?
Get ur ass to work Rollie we love u
Rolling I wanna see more videos of your home made table it would be a funny video 🤣🤣
So nice to hear the respect for snooker
Remarkable cue ball control, great to watch
Great play, any cue player knows that break took serious talent. There is a lot of congestion on a smaller table playing snooker and cue control and strategy is even more important. Top job :)
I'm glad to see Quagmire's enjoying a SFW activity this time haha
Amazing preference 😮
This was actually a million times harder than it was made to look in this video Thorsten Hohmann is a precise technical Pro,on a pool table there is a lot less room for error even if the pockets are much more forgiving ,that quick rhythm is tough to maintain for pretty much all pool and even snooker players only Ronnie i think can play at this quick pace thinking very fast on the fly that is a natural gift very few people have in life and its a sure sign of an incredibly successful person that is always high on confidence .Rollie has one hell of a fine teacher in Thorsten Hohmann a true living legend : )
Great run
Great job
Really puts it into perspective considering this is nearly 1 minute slower than Ronnie's famous 147 on a full table, in competition.
Yeah, O'Sullivan is an absolute genius
To be fair, he did have to replace his own blacks on the spot each time instead of a referee doing it while you're already going to your next shot.
@@chili015 Table's bigger as well, so longer walking distance
Just wanting to emphasise on ronnie's ball control :p
@@chili015 To be fair to Ronnie, Thorsten went for the split after second shot here, and it did him miracles. Literally every red was playable, so it was only the matter of how fast he could pot them. I don't see him thinking about this position too much. While Ronnie had to do some brain work as well, and adjust position more and more.
Search Darren McVicar 147 and he does it quicker than ronnie
So much easier on a pool table but still a brilliant effort. Good video
Well done 👍
Wild good position play
Nice, I like the commentary too
"Want to play snooker but you suck? Play it on a pool table!"
Very good 👍
Impressive 🎱👍
Masterful.
I enjoyed the video. I'd like to see a 14.1 instructional video with a 100 ball run and commentary from one of the best in the history of the game.
Top man
The white ball was on a string, superb control, great break..
You tame those whild flowers like a pro 😁
A nice 147
Hammer geil! #snookerlove
Sick
The biggest thing holding back snooker in america, is the lack of snooker access...would love to see more pool halls or clubs add a table for members.
Nice
Yes! This is POOKER!
Habe das gleiche letztens auch auf meinem pool Tisch gemacht 👍🏼
Excellent! Where did you get the reds?
Fair play. not a fan of pool but seeing snooker being player on a pool table was enjoyable. Nice break
What a gentleman.
First and foremost, Immaculate gameplay from Thorsten! Actual snooker table or not, a 147 is not easy and Thank You for providing a way to play on a pool table. I live in the states and there’s no snooker tables anywhere nearby where I live. I did have some questions though. Was there a reason you didn’t break properly? Or did you leave a red in the open for the 147 purpose? Thanks in advance, and again thanks for the QUALITY content. My friends and I will be very happy to add this in our pool routine.
joe killerduck My friend purchased the balls and I thought I give it a go. I was by myself and had to start somehow :-)
When u see gigidy gigidy on the chair!! Quagmire
I like the look of the white glove, what brand is it? Great shootin!
Are the marks between the diamonds special made for you ore did you make them yourself ?
I bought a 2 1/4 set of snooker balls specifically because of this video. Thank you, didn't even know this was possible! Not the same, but great to have another game to play. I enjoy these videos, would love to see some other one offs like Russian Pyramid!
Great commentating. Feel like hed make a great commentator
At first, I totally dislike snooker (because this sport is always seen in a negative light, here in Malaysia) but after seeing a video about Ronnie O'Sullivan's fastest maximum break last month, as well as witnessing Mark Selby's 4th title recently, I started to fall in love with this sport (given that I'm always familiar with billiards since I was a little boy) and I would love to become Malaysia's first snooker champion someday, especially after witnessing Pandelela Rinong's success in claiming her first gold medal (while representing Malaysia) in the 2021 FINA Diving World Cup yesterday! 😍
What a break! I've just ordered a little 7ft table, what size snooker balls would you say? Do the pro balls weigh more than the cheap ones?
This really pissed me off and made me happy at the same time
What kind of table is that? Those markings on the table are cool. Would be very useful when learning kicks, banks etc
Hi Thorsten. Whats the brand of the gloves your using?
It’s kinda crazy that o Sullivan has had like two 147s on a full size table in competition faster than this lol
You’re comparing a snooker god to an ordinary man. Not exactly fair lol
@@gandhimahatma3304 Thorsten ain't ordinary my guy
You make it look too easy brother. We actually met at amsterdam. Big fan!
The Bob Ross of Pool
Good
hey, can someone tell me....where i can buy these kind of Balls for Pool-Snooker.
Or it is custom order ?!
I’m interested by the different hand bridges and positions(?) you use. I’ve always played with the generic thumb-firstfinger position but I’m trying to experiment with other ones because I find my accuracy to be pretty poor using that
It's all about the cue action. Also, do not ever take your eyes off the object ball.
Hang on, how did that first red get to where it was on the break off??
Really nice. If i were the narrator i would say "they opened up like a mouth of a great white shark on a summer beach"
Quagmire watches in approval
Someone needs to try pool on a snooker table.
I do this all the time with regular pool balls. 11 & 12 put at bulk line, 13 on blue, 14 on pink, and 15 on black. 1-10 make a nice even rack.
Theres been some great pool players that have turned their hand to snooker
what shaft is Thorsten using?
