I've played (very amateur) pool, and it's hard enough just to sink a fairly straightforward shot. Then I look at Ronnie, who'll sink a shot and also put the cue ball wherever he wants it on the table. Not to mention how he'll get one or two shots past the break and just plan out the entire rest of the frame, and then execute exactly as planned. Master of his craft.
@@thehotwombat I am not sure about that. He missed several easier shots before that and I think, that he had to prove to himselve that he still has it.
@@dimitrioschatzidimitriou7546 I don't know, it was a reasonable question considering it was the difference between being 2-0 up and 1-1 in a first to 4 frames. Ronnie played all 3 shots magnificently, but it could have gone awry.
@@NoStressCrossfire I think the true answer there is that Ronnie was always a very volatile player - absolutely untouchable at his best, but also prone to falling apart if he didn't feel right. His natural game was flamboyant and decisive, and I think he would have struggled to make himself play boring shots. In other words, why is he playing exhibition shots? Because he can't /not/ play exhibition shots.
@@jofx4051 The very last shot was the only one that still mattered. It was 35/50 and he would have lost if he didn't pot any of those last balls. Every onther game in this compilation was already decided (there was no way for the opponent to win in any other case).
@@mrkv4k probably cuz he was already one frame ahead of his enemy, he kinda took it for granted and decided to play some exhibition shots instead. i think that he didnt rly care whether he lose that frame or not haha
Haha yeah..especially the last clip..Ronnie's played an exhibition shot while chasing the point to win the frame..to me.that's insanely crazy and little disrespected to his opponent.btw.its fun to watch when ronnie on this form.on that time.Ronnie body gesture tell us and commentary side ."do i care?"probably he knew the commentary can't believe of what he's doing
4:03 one of...if not the best shot i've ever seen in snooker ever...how was that even possible at that angle & that pace & it didn't even touch the sides!
Where I agree he is an awesome talent & has been for many many years. ..... This year he didnt play to his best ability & he still became Champion of the World
He was interviewed recently ( december 2021] and said age has become a factor in try to keep up with the younger players . he said and i'm paraphrasing , that he just can't recover as quickly from a big match as he use to . even so, if he gets into his rhythm he's unstoppable .
3:59 an onwards is just ridiculous! Bingham is a terrific player himself and suddenly found himself attending a masterclass! 1 to 10 (soon 11) in frames must speak volumes of Ronnie's form that day.
Sad, but it is reality. There are no new players that come close to the spectacle we had in the 90's early naughties. I even rarely watch finals now... But I did watch the Rocket all the way last week! Good old times!
I like the commentator right at the end when Ronnie was hitting the blue and the pink and saying "what is he doing" and then he was a bit speechless when he positioned the ball very good for the next shots 😄
Love Binghams reactions. Back to the drawing board. O'Sullivan The Federer of the baize only Trump and Robertson in full flow are anywhere near watchable as Ronnie.
I hate it when commentators say 'exhibition shots',its snooker and all shots are valid,if the aim is to pot a ball it should be potted anyway you see fit,I feel that if any player was to win a frame with all 'exhibition shots',the commentators would call them out,yet the audience and myself would love it,I feel it's unfair of the commentators to do this and it just needles me......just saying But RIP Willie❤ ,loved your commentary and even after everything iv just said,I'd love to hear you again,sad sad loss to the beautiful game of Snooker
The reason why exhibition shots are called out by the commentators are twofold. Firstly it's what a player would do at a exhibition were it is not on TV and they play shots to impress a crowd at a local club or somewhere similar. To do these shots in a televised tournament while not against the rules per se, is a form of belittling the opponent and showing off that 'i'm better than you" there is a unwritten rule that you don't do these shots out of respect for the game and opponent, hence the commentators pointing out that these shots are "exhibition shots"
@@rs-vp7re surely as a fan of snooker you would like to see more exhibition shots?,if its entertainment then entertain,I dont feel its disrespectful to entertain the fans
@@rs-vp7re showboating is what we love,when messi or Ronaldo show boat with tricks that entertain the fans,kids and men alike worship them skills on show,and I believe all sport has stars who do this,and I love it,I love exhibition shots,and I just feel in my opinion it's unfair for commentators to call out snooker players for playing to the fans
Simply the greatest 20 majors 37 ranking titles the most premier leagues the most centuries and 147s keeping hendry Higgins Williams Selby robbo ding trump now Wilson at bay entertaining us for decades keeping snooker afloat in the most competitive era ever keeping sponsors happy and viewing figures up all on his own terms never been a slave to the game or politically perfect...... Wins the inaugural coral series to return to world number 1 at 43 🤔and now at 44 he's world champion again for the 6th time..... His aura and presence is unique nobody like him everything he does makes headlines his longevity is legendary 👌Genius
There's no word to sum up how much he'll be missed around the table, when he retires, a very upsetting thought tbh, he won't retire yet though, thankfully. I can't wait to hear him commentate, if he ever does.
Wow😮. Oh yeah 🙃😋. He's amazing 🙃🤗. Fabulious😉!! Ronnie is the God of snooker all time❤️. Thank U so very very much for uploaded this short but so powerful & very beautiful video 🤙👊of Ronnie 😍😘. Thank you once again👍. Be safe 🙏 y'all,love💞, please keep✊the moves 🤸 moving💃& keep✊the positive vibes only,🤗 Shirley loves Leslie 1314💕(from Holland). God✝️ bless🙏 y'all 👐🤛.
Waiting for his 7th world championship. He already achieved 6th a couple of days before against Wilson which was one sided though Wilson entered into final by defeating top players ...
You have no idea what ure mumbling about. Cant compare 8 ball pockets with snooker. Its extremely hard to pocket from narrow angles in snooker unless u hit it perfectly, meanwhile in 8 ball u can comfortably do so cuz pockets are much wider and therefor not the same accuracy needed.
Regarding 'Exhibition Shots', I wonder where the line is with that? I suppose it's when a shot could be simpler but a more elaborate way's been chosen, ok the knuckle use is maybe the cheekier end but given the position he's playing them from most of these just seem legit ways to reach the area/get to the next shot rather than showing off
Brilliance. I have to dispute the announcer who said they're in the entertainment business as well. That's not Ronnie's focus. His business is our pleasure for sure that's the mix to fix.
Imagine being this good at anything
Matrix shit !
The pace of some of these shots and then position extraordinary .
I am this good in being bad at everything....
I'm not even that good watching this 👀
I can't
I love how the cue ball is still moving and Ronnie is lining up his next shot.
you watch this and think the game's easy, then go and play and think 'never again, it's impossible'
I've played (very amateur) pool, and it's hard enough just to sink a fairly straightforward shot.

Even billiards with big pockets and smaller table is too difficult for me :D
посмотри, что Крыжановский творит
“What’s he doing!?”
Getting perfect position on the next ball, that’s what.
spot on every time :)
The game was still on, that's the point.
@@mrkv4k The brass ones on him
@@mrkv4k what commentators struggle to understand is Ronnie does this to keep it interesting for himself
@@thehotwombat I am not sure about that. He missed several easier shots before that and I think, that he had to prove to himselve that he still has it.
When Ronnie gets on a roll he is unstoppable, truly a legend of the game and IMO the 🐐, ridiculous levels of talent and natural ability
Nfpptyd
3:50 im glad that after the unfavourable events of The Return of the Jedi, Jabba finally find his place as an EuroSport snooker commentator.
:DDD
Jabba was russian? 🤷🏻😂
We are all truly lucky to have watched Ronnie do what he does best for many years
Man hits ball with stick precisely is life changing event
@@ollie7070 Yet you wouldn’t even be able to do it
5:55 "what he's doing??" He's shining, bro.
I was thinking.. "What, can't you see?! He's winning!" :)
He’s doing whatever he wants. When you’re Ronnie O’Sullivan you do what you want lol
Commentator: "Why is he playing exhibition shots?"
Because he CAN!
That was the most annoying comment from the commentator!

was about to post the same... best shot there surely
He has rehearsed this exhibition shot from pink on to black to perfection. Truly amazing.
Yeah, that one was amazing.
4:03 one of...if not the best shot i've ever seen in snooker ever...how was that even possible at that angle & that pace & it didn't even touch the sides!
when you watch the ball sink in the pocket, it almost looks fake, like it vanishes, watch it again a couple of times. Unreal shot.
When you're good ,you're good ,when you're the best you're Ronnie ,,,
The last one was crazy, he was even on the shots to steal the frame.
Unbelievable talent.
Where I agree he is an awesome talent & has been for many many years. ..... This year he didnt play to his best ability & he still became Champion of the World

@@siriosstar4789 as now he got his 7th world title ❣️
I like the last one, the frame was still live!
so true. The man, the cue, the legend.
only ronnie would do that! he's that good he doesn't mind missing it because he knows he'll probably win the following frame
@@SoulFlyShogun q
@@SoulFlyShogun I don't think he even considers missing
Ronnie definitely the greatest ever but just imagine how great he could of been without his mental problems. Unreal. Ronnie is snooker
He was just looking for some cue action
Trump v Higgins
Are you nuts?
It's all about cue action!
Bingham's little smirk , he knows the craic , sometimes when your watching genius you just have to admire it !
he's unlucky because ronnie seems to be on top form every time he plays him lol
“What is he doing?” The commentator says... never question Ronnie, THAT’S what he’s doing. 👌
They always question his shot selection. Just be amazed and add up the score.
When ronnie retires you might as well retire the sport. Ronnie IS snooker.
Efren is Pool
@@mikeserrano734 i am Audience 😁
Jordan is basketball.
Load of nonsesne
full sender ronnie is more to snooker than Efren is to pool
Ronnie, the greatest Snooker player ever. 😎
Must admit, this kid has a future in the game.😎
Meanwhile Ebdon has just chalked his cue and had the white polished for the sixth time.
Its not only he’s the best in the business, but geeeez what a likeable character this man has, u cant but love him
You have to love any sport where the opponents can smile and laugh with one another. As a hockey fan this is refreshing.
😊

I don't mean to brag but I can play like Ronnie. The only difference is the balls don't go down the holes when I play.
The shots against Bingham, at around 4 minutes are sublime.
Even Bingham pissed himself Athol ridiculous they were.
When Ronnie retires from playing, I retire from watching.
Sad, but it is reality. There are no new players that come close to the spectacle we had in the 90's early naughties. I even rarely watch finals now... But I did watch the Rocket all the way last week! Good old times!

Ronnie O'Sullivan is the master in snooker
Absolute Master Class !!!!
Pure Classsssssssss
I watched envy shot with the same look on Stuart Bingham's face after Ronnie potted the long red along the cushion; delighted surprise!
He’s the most gifted entertaining player there’s ever been he’s great to watch when he’s on song
Ronnie O'Sullivan is incredible. He just perfect.
Love it when Bingham just smiles because of his class
Impressive.
5:03 how?! That was an amazing shot!
He's a God.
Absolute amazing trick from king of snooker Ronnie
One word MASTER 🙏🙏🙏
Can I just add....... R I P Willie Thorne
Salute.
That pot on the red at 4:00 and then to get position on the black as well? Insane shot
Love Binghams reactions. Back to the drawing board.
O'Sullivan The Federer of the baize only Trump and Robertson in full flow are anywhere near watchable as Ronnie.
5:43 plays his snooker like a golf shot
I don't even watch snooker but love a good Ronnie performance
Enjoy him while he's still playing because there's nobody to follow in his footsteps,a class act
Thank u for uploading this content.
