It is always difficult to explain the essence of snooker to those who have only seen billiards in films about billiards. But at 0:48 an example explains its meaning and professionalism. And I also want to thank you that the video shows the player’s actions after, even if it is unsuccessful.
I can't help feeling that a miss is being applied in situations where there is no reasonable expectation that the ball on will be hit other than by luck, even for players at this level. To my mind, it's not a miss just because hitting the ball on is not impossible.
the rule was brought in originally because players took advantage by fouling in a way that left their opponent with no opening shot on returning to the table. The miss rule is cast in stone so as to not be subjective. If players had been honest and tried their best at all times the rule would never have been created but that's humans for you.
@@castleanthrax1833 that's some fucked up thinking you got there - it's meant to be a gentleman's sport - as in play fair and not try to take advantage. You must has missed that lesson.
@1:30 I still think, for a professional snooker player, it is definitely possible to hit. Should always call a miss if he misses (but he didn’t call a miss after the second attempt, I think)
Yeah, he seems to be trying too hard to make it with “inch purrfect” placement rather than just making contact. Seems like a pretty straight forward shot. Down by enough points that several misses leave him in a spot with snookers required. He failed game theory because instead of forcing opponent to miss, he lost on his own.
Follow the shadow of the red ball. The ball doesn't follow the edge, you can see the shadow keep going further into the wall. The phenomenon is interesting though. I think it has at least three parts: Angle of the camera, shape of the camera lens and finally the shape of walls. Angle makes it quite difficult to follow the straight lines. It's both low and close to the same direction as where the red goes at first. The curvature of the lens might be causing some distortion. Look up "fish-eye lens" online. And finally the shape of the walls. The ball's top half is where the touch happens. (I assume the shape of the wall is so that the force vector after collision points down. This is so that the balls wouldn't fly off the table)
I think the Wilson Dunn snooker is possible, albeit just barely so. It's impossible to judge it perfectly, but the one cushion escape, just missing the brown before hitting the rail, should be able to hit the red.
Don't know why. It's not like it's an impossible snooker, and it's not like some of the nasty snookers like just rolling it behind a colour (looking at you Brecel), Kyren played for an unpottable red, left it safe and got a snooker to boot, what would you had rather he played?
1:38 I think you'll find that it is perfectly possible. Loads of room between cushion and brown, just need to get the correct spin and angle. Difficult, yes, but not impossible.
And yet here we are. A former professional not suggesting that, (and we all know how good has beens were), with a current professional not even trying that shot. But yet here you are, a keyboard warrior, telling the world how it could still be done. 🙄
@@philmenzies2477 as a former premier league snooker player I can assure you that is perfectly possible and surprised it is in the video. Your keyboard warrior comment is pretty pathetic and you're just being antagonistic.
I believe one of the standard rules of snooker is that, if it's deemed impossible to make a legal shot, a rerack is required. I've never seen a ref enforce this even though I've seen quite a few snookers that are impossible to escape.
I never understood why the referees judge "foul and miss" on near-impossible snookers. If I understand correctly, a "foul and a miss" (as opposed to just a "foul") is judged when the referee estimates that the player could have made the shot but didn't do a best possible attempt. Quite clearly all these players do their absolute best to get out of the snooker. How can the referee judge that they didn't?
The only thing I don't like about the way that the Miss rule is policed, is that you get on average more points out of a good snooker, than you get out of a great snooker
The miss rule forces the players to make the best possible attempt, rather than just fouling and leaving their opponent in a bad situation. If you can't see why the rule was implemented, you haven't played much snooker.
@@castleanthrax1833 I should have been clearer. I'm talking about the miss rule non-application when a player requires a snooker or when it's an impossible snooker. I believe that if you do get unbeatable snooker then you should be considered to have won the frame. That's the whole point of the game. Not calling a miss on certain snookers is mind boggling and lowering the value of snookers.
@Bob Slydell The placement of the object ball(s), cue ball, and balls that are not "on" are all variables that can number in the thousands, if not millions. I can't see how this would even be possible without using a computer program to analyse the outcome.
Just wanted to know if anyone can recommend any creams. It burns like hell at the moment. I have tried acyclovir... it worked initially but now effect has worn off

Gary Wilson's one of the most underrated players on the circuit. On his day he's a match for most
He's lucky to be in the top 16.
@John Murray He'll drift in and out of the top 16 for the rest of his career most likely. He's inconsistent, very much so
@@johnmurray3442Lucky my whole. Wilson is a top player.
@@johnmc3862 yes, I agree he is a top player. Probably in the best 30-40 players in the world.

All so good, but... left us hanging with Maguire at the end there - we wanted to see the resolution!
He actually escapes on the first attempt
1:46 - why a miss called, it was almost impossible and he did his best - crazy call
I don't even need to know the rules to realize what I am watching... Pro's at their best. Amazing video.
Thats how i got into snooker , i just enjoyed watching professionals do amazing things in their sport
Gotta love how both Walden and Selby make the same face when they realize how tough it would be to get out of that snooker.
That snooker behind the pink near the corner pocket can cost a friendship. :)
Yeah, that one was not playing friendly.
You make great compilations thanks
Thanks❤
6:38 Steve Davis found that one a bit too nice!

If, in the ref's opinion, the player did not make "the best possible attempt," then a miss will be called. Peoples opinions often differ.

Did Ronnie win this match after that fluke?

0:09 Don't tell me Joe Perry actually managed to get out of that snooker...? 😨
7:28 when it comes to Ronnie yes I can believe it
Felt so sorry for McGill there. So glad Ronnie flogged Kyren in the final.

What’s wrong other that? It was a beautiful shot
He was livid, McGill's not to be fucked with 🤣
Gary Wilson face and stance looks like a cyborg, Robocop or something else from the future.
how many snooker retakes is the max?
3 i believe
Lol, Selby face when Ronnie pots the red. 7:32

He's still trying to hit the last one, check back later.
Cause the snookers are so hard the ref mighten call a miss if you get close
Great show, I say.

Notice how judd trump hardly ever says good shot to his opponents?
All these escapes yet not one from Angles McManus.
Does anyone know how many maximum snookers in 1 frame registered officially?
nice ending????
cliff hanger
Come on! Great video but why didn’t you let us see the last shot for ourselves? If you didn’t have the footage then fair enough.
just a little thing.. captions WAY too fast
All are very easy shots
can someone explain snooker please i dont even know what im watching hahaha
Well, there's this table with balls on it. And at the end only the white ball remains.
Learn the rules yourself.
Shaun Murphy VS Ding is the toughest snooker shot ever even Shaun surrendered

Not quite. A miss is called when the snookered player chooses not to make an easier shot which will leave their opponent with a pot on.
7:43 the commentator said "just about unhittable". He didn't say it was "unhittable" so your text-over is redundant. That's twice now.
better call the police
“That’s twice now” what are you, an umpire?
The only thing I don't like about the way that the Miss rule is policed, is that you get on average more points out of a good snooker, than you get out of a great snooker
Terrible compilation. How did the snooker situation end? Did the player ever hit the required ball?
Actually good. But I expected "The Toughest Snookers IN History!". It's not. Either you don't know better or it's clickbait.
The miss rule is silly. If you get the perfect snooker then the frame should be yours. Not calling miss is so arbitrary and illogical.
The miss rule forces the players to make the best possible attempt, rather than just fouling and leaving their opponent in a bad situation. If you can't see why the rule was implemented, you haven't played much snooker.

@Bob Slydell It's opinion based. What you are asking for can not be implemented.
@@castleanthrax1833 Why not? Simply have fixed rules that a snooker is a snooker, trying to escape and miss will always be a miss, no subjectivity.
