I don't know, but surely every bloke has made twenty something at least?
Since 1982, there have only been 150 maximum breaks, an average of just over 4 a year, O'Sullivan the most with 15 and the fastest of 5 minutes 20 in 1997. Steve Davis with the first. Though really in the last 20 or so years it's probably more like an average of 10 a years with their being more tournaments and more pros at a higher standard, still shows how incredibly difficult it is to do, which makes witnessing one so special.
I looked at that five minute sullivan break yesterday, talk about cool as a cucumber. He made it look so easy why doesn't everybody do them 
18. 3 reds 3 blues. Couldn't even see the balls now unless I got some Dennis Taylor jobs.
I used to play every day. Hit in the 40s on a few occasions.
I got a few 50 breaks, my bro was a good player and he gave me a 25 handicap but I never beat him that often. I had the edge over him at pool though but I don't play much as my eyesight is not what it was.
i played snooker at the st andrews hotel , in nuwara eliya, sri lanka
an altitude of 6,100 ft

Played in my club team for a few years, my highest break in a match was 53, beat my previous pb 48.
Tony Chappel was club member, and a pro circuit player at the time and I practiced regularly with him, must have played around 2 or 3 hundred frames with him?. He scored 3 x 147's against me. He used to give me 5 blacks start, and I still struggled to match him. I think I beat him twice, with something like 50 start.

63 and ive been playing 40 years and have me own full size table but get bored practising after 10 mins , I blame Betfair...
Talking of O Sullivan I have a losing betting slip for him to win the world championship by & inc 1999
Odds 100/1
Bet was put on I think in 92 or 93 missed drawing by two years
Was not a bad pool player but never got to grips with snooker, top break was a nine ball 19

9 ball 19? Red, yellow, red, green ... 
Mine is around 20, maximum of 4 or 5 balls.
I have been playing for a few years, not very regularly, and see no improvement in my game at all.
I've watch many youtube videos but I'm getting worse if anything.
Respect to anyone who can string more than 5 balls together.

8. red, yellow, red, yellow ... hard to say if you have had a drink.
Amazingly I did pot all the colours on a half size table in practice, potting the black off its spot with the cueball in the jaws of the middle pocket.

In the mid 30s and that would have been around 1992. Can't see the blue from the D now over the specs so can't play. I can just about manage a game of pool but guessing at the long shots.
I've potted red followed by black several times but never more than once in the same frame.
Red, black, red, black is usually a frame winning break when I play 
47 - 5 blacks and a pink.
Back when I used to play nearly every day. Have difficulty working out which cue ball to strike now

35, the black wobbled in the jaws for 42 (or even more!!!)
A few other 30ish ones.
And I have cleared up the colours a couple of times

For me to pot red and black the both balls would need to be hanging over the pocket and then it would be no certainty.I am that bad.Being so bad I really appreciate the skill of the top players.
Snooker, golf, darts - they all need loads of practice
