@@billynomates920 I originally heard that quote about 50 years ago. A British golf announcer used it to describe how softly a golfer's wedge shot landed on the green. Can't remember who the golfer was.
This O'Sullivan guy is pretty darn amazing. I don't know snooker, I don't know billiards, but I know this dude's got some insane talent. He could go and teach geometry if he ever got bored of snooker.
It really annoys me when they clap and scream come on Ronnie. Or when you hear like 3 people clap for no reason. Just be quite and enjoy the snooker... 👍👍
To Ronnie it's simple geometry. The rest of us mere mortals would need at least 50 goes to get anywhere close even when we're on a table with lovely consistent steel block cushions and lightning fast cloth.
This shows that Ronnie is not only a brilliant attacking player, but also capable of positional and defensive play. His vision is unmatched. Great video!
@@gerardpirlov1275 how pathetic must you be that you copy paste the top comment? You didn't even bother changing anything it's literally just ctrl+c ctrl+v, you're beyond sad
I think this gentleman might be going places, he looks like a talented play. Although highlight reels like this ofter give a wrong impression, we’ll have to see how stable a player this O’Solovan is. Is it one out of a hundred safeties he does this or one in ten?
O'Sullivan. Been watching him crush his competition since I was a small child and two decades later he is still a monster. Best snooker in the history of the game for sure.
This man is an absolute genius at the table. The angles, the pace. If you ever want to get someone to fall in love with Snooker. Have them watch The Rocket.
He's saying you're attributing a human characteristic, a product of our consciousness, to something that's already human. You don't need to personify it because it already relates to the person.
I am cranky old git from the USA, and I have learned a lot about snooker, and, as it happens, I have become a fullthroated fan of Ronnie O'Sullivan. The man is a geometrical genius. With. Touch. Amazing.
I have watched snooker since 2001. O'sullivan is the reason I still watch snooker. He is box-office and that is the reason why the organisers want him on the tour. I also loved watching Paul hunter god rest his soul. I can't help but think if he was still alive what a rivalry we would have had all these years
They keep those tables clean AF to reduce the friction, it’s why he can pop a soft shot and it has the momentum of a space shuttle docking against the red haha
Geometrically and dexterity speaking = brilliant!! Amazing talent. Now, if I had a clue about snooker or why he was making those shots, I might appreciate it even more.
For this sport I believe he is at omniscient (I love that word, it sounds like what it means, like brouhaha) level. I play golf and wow, his stroke and flow and tempo are a joy to watch, much less how he can see those shots in his minds eye. Thanks for the video, super cool.
I watched a guy get max score back in the early 80's during my time in the Airforce in the UK. I tried to play it a few times and trust me these guys make a very hard game look easy. I forget the persons name that ran the table it's been awhile lol.
The fact that you use the word "announcer" means you're probably not British, which means you probably don't see a lot of snooker. The point is that he needs to hit one of the red balls so it won't be a foul but also his opponent will need to hit a red ball next, so he should also leave the white ball in a position where it's hard for his opponent to pot a red. These shots did both.
The word genius gets banded about too easily for some people, but if you looked the word up in a dictionary there'd probably be a picture of Ronnie alongside it... My fav player of all time and the best.

This is skill in sport, this is Snooker, this is amazing and incredible. The sort of talent you'd go a long way to be in the crowd and watch! *Top Stuff!*
I like all the aspects of snooker but safety play, setting and escaping from snookers and tactics are my favourite. That's when you see the player's mettle and skills show themselves.
I saw Ronnie come and rise to the occasion; i said it then and i'll say it now: without him snooker would be a lesser game, the man is a genius on his bad days.
I do that just once on a 9-Ball table and it gives me bragging rights for a month... But on a 6x12 snooker table, with snooker balls?... over and over again? Hat's off to a Master!
Now that's finesse, never played snooker but I love 8 ball, it's even crazier to think that the diamonds aren't even on the table to guide your angles.
And the table is almost twice as big. I played snooker with a friend. A game usually did last over an hour because we were so miserable. It still was great fun though.
I don't think in the history of the game, or possibly the future, there has been anyone with such an instinctive understanding of the angles of a snooker table.
Don't really understand snooker fully but that is some amazing accuracy and control. Snooker is actually popular even here in the southeastern US believe it or not- all the pool halls I went to as a teen had snooker tables. I just never tried to play them cause I could tell it was much harder than 8 ball or 9 ball and I wasn't very good at either so- no point really. There are no pool halls anymore around here- not one. I guess no one wants to play anymore- now they play video pool on their phones.
Snooker it's just u put a red then u have to pot a colour ball then back to red..each red is 1point n the coulrs have higher points...that's the basics bro
Forget about Ronnie's astounding snooker escapes, I am more in admiration of @GTKomissaR astonishing research and skill to compile these masterful moments! Well done and thank you for what must have been such a hard and long task to create this video in promoting Ronnie's unsung moments of brilliance, I can see this is the norm for most videos on your channel, I'll subscribe to this as a reference!
Sometimes these snooker compilations have me skipping after 30 seconds, but Rocket is the best snooker player there's ever been and every single one of these clips is unbeatable.
i love ronnies shots he takes so much risks and its so fun to watch most sports lacking that today cuz you need to earn money rather than let the audience have fun

i thought so
@@billynomates920 I originally heard that quote about 50 years ago. A British golf announcer used it to describe how softly a golfer's wedge shot landed on the green. Can't remember who the golfer was.
Yep definitely a golf quote. Legendary though.

Butterflies also taste with their feet
This O'Sullivan guy is pretty darn amazing. I don't know snooker, I don't know billiards, but I know this dude's got some insane talent. He could go and teach geometry if he ever got bored of snooker.
He can also play almost as good left handed as he does right handed. This man is just ridiculously talented in his sport.
In h s those kids who couldn't do geometry, could play pool
Of course O'Sullivan is insane, but I always find it funny how people think that geometry is triangles and shit :P
No doubt he‘s the Goat Of Snooker
@@fenonakia.3217 Technically it is, triangles are just a minuscule part
Technically, a snooker crowd should be speechless anyway.

When you never watch snooker, but can still appreciate this piece of art
The amount of times that the commentators say that you won't see a better escape than that, yet we do see them because Ronnie just keeps doing it!
This shows that Ronnie is not only a brilliant attacking player, but also capable of positional and defensive play. His vision is unmatched. Great video!
He hits the ball More accurately via four cushions than I do aiming straight.

the table scaling is one thing but the amount of force he uses that the cue ball barely touches the other balls are amazing

I don’t even understand snookers and I’m impressed
That is just astounding control. And you saved the best for last.
This reminds me why I find Ronnie is the best player in the world for such a looong time. Always a joy watching him attack as well as defend.
Geometrically and dexterity speaking = brilliant!! Amazing talent. Now, if I had a clue about snooker or why he was making those shots, I might appreciate it even more.
The crack is, 166, his opponents are shit scared of leaving a shot on, knowing how good he is. He's the bollocks.
The man just blows my mind. His is a near omniscient level understanding of angles and speed.

Cliff Thorburn (Canada) 1983, maybe? First to do 147 in a world championship.
I don’t even know the rules of snooker and I can tell this man is a legend. Just from his games in 8 ball pool, I knew he was special.
No need to lower the tone, by mentioning " 8 ball" in the presense of Snooker, 3303.
me: wtf he barely hit the ball
announcer: brilliant. just brilliant
me: brilliant. amazing shot
