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 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.

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.

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

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.
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.Respe
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.

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.
