I haven't read every comment so I think it will already have been mentioned that Steve Davis made a 147 after the awful break off by John Spencer at 0:32
and it was his only maximum. To think the 6 time world champion may have never made a televised maximum except for John going in off. It was also the first televised 147
2:05 - Seems an interesting tactic - play off a couple of cushions and end up with the cue ball touching one of the reds in the intact triangle formation.
I don't understand that shot. It's pointless. Osullivans plays away the red still havnt moved and now Ebdon is faced with the balls in the same place as when he was breaking off but the cue ball in a harder position. Makes no sense
@@dannygjk how was it a great shot exactly though? Even if it wasn't touching Osullivan would just clip of a red and go behind the black. Jimmy white used to do that in the 80s and quickly realised there's no benefit. It's just negative play
It was the start of the evening session. The morning session of 9 frames had ended with Knowles leading 8-1. The match was the 1st round of the 1982 World Championship.
You don't have to pot a colour. You might play safely off a colour, snooker behind a colour. It's a free world. You could pack up your cue and head off to the pub.
For the curious, despite the dodgy break-off in that frame against Peter Ebdon, Ali Carter made a maximum. Potting the cue ball on break, however... that's something I do quite a bit when I play pool.
Hann did this kind of break-off rather as a giving up gesture than trying something new. If the match wasn't going in his favour he often smashed the ball into the pack to relief some stress and/or get this match over more quickly. Chance is low that a red is going in and opponent mostly has a good opportunity for a century
Ahh, Quinten Hann, i remember watching him years back and his break off's and the commentators bitching about how "unprofessional" it was and labelled him as some, sort of bad boy rebel.
Have to agree. He was a bad boy due to match fixing, which has the potential to ruin the game. Shame, as he was certainly an 'individual' who brought a certain flair to the table.
I remember a funny breafoff where John Virgo was slating him. Then when a ball dropped in he turned to the commentary box, stretched his arms out and smiled. All that was missing was a scream "Are you not entertained".
I would like to become a national snooker player someday and I would like to do smash breaks because it gives excitement, given that snooker is usually quiet!
Unfortunately now we have another incident like this at the crucial end of the World Chmapionship between Higgins and Selby! Only this time its even more minimal and its dividing even more people. Do I have to GIF that one too?
They have a best of 6 match. One of the alreay got 3 frames, so the match was decided. But they still have to play the last 3 frames. So they decided to fool around for a little bit^^
Because it does nothing to help you. If you roll into the pack, your opponent can either play an incredibly easy shot back up to baulk, or just nudge it further up the pack. A good break-off gets some reds out into the open and also gets the cue ball safe up the table, which puts pressure on your opponent to also play safe and makes it risky if they don't.
When davis misses a shot he walks away chalking his cue. Saw him lose a match i think it was a final and he walked away chalking his cue. Think he is in shock and was not used to losing😂
no it never george. it's an optical illusion because of the reflection of the cue moving over the red. it's only the reflection you see that makes it appear like the red moved
@@Shadec1 Yes you are correct. But if you watch closely when Ronnie first cues over the corner red it appears to move. It could be an illusion, but i think he grazed the red with his tip🤪
Presumably the unusual part is that you don't often see them happen, although the bad ones were generally unintentional, with some intentional ones being what was unusual.
with the exception of Steve Davis Break off 2 cushions rolling up to the reds. I don't think that's necessarily a bad break it doesn't leave anything on for your opponent and if it's not touching a red it could cause a problem
Hann genuinely thought he could get one a high percentage of the time with that break. It wouldn't surprise me if he could in practice, but the variables are likely too great and the margins too small to ever make it a viable tactic in a match.
This was an exhibition match put on to use up time when tournament matches finished early in the 1985 world championship. Virgo had been imitating Reardon, so Reardon came on with a false beard to imitate Virgo. I remember it because I got so engrossed in watching it that I made myself half an hour late for an exam I was sitting that day!

1:47 Amazing break! All red balls became green.
OMG I swear I can't stop laughing XD Best. Comment. Ever.
haha so they did!
147
😂

1:47 He broke with such force he knocked the red out of those balls!
With the Ali Carter bad break at 7-7, he went and made his first maximum in that frame!
I haven't read every comment so I think it will already have been mentioned that Steve Davis made a 147 after the awful break off by John Spencer at 0:32
yup... you're totally right
oh... and no.. as far as I know, no one has mentioned it before you
He won a lada car lol with reg sd 147 which he must have sold because i saw it in glasgow many years later
@@williamyoung9452 he actually kept it! And his kids learned to drive in this very car!
and it was his only maximum. To think the 6 time world champion may have never made a televised maximum except for John going in off. It was also the first televised 147
Ray Beardon
Steve Davis pots the cue ball on the break. Commentator: "Well, a most unusual start."
Yes the video does have subtitles
I think the commentator meant most interesting
Well he's not incorrect, is he?
1:49 when an 8-ball pool player tries to play snooker ahahahh
BGooD Music he actually played 8ball lately
@@omarlittle4037 Is that Quinten Hann? If so, I never knew he played 8-Ball
Hawkins was my fav break off finishing top side of the blue as well, amazing lol
Oh yes... He could have been in a perfect position from winning this frame. But he missed at 21 Points or so If i remember lol
musicfan1558 yeah me knows but he did come back though lol
2:05 - Seems an interesting tactic - play off a couple of cushions and end up with the cue ball touching one of the reds in the intact triangle formation.
The break off shot at 3:40 is beautiful.
I don't understand that shot. It's pointless. Osullivans plays away the red still havnt moved and now Ebdon is faced with the balls in the same place as when he was breaking off but the cue ball in a harder position. Makes no sense
@@owengardiner4628 It was still a great shot. Luckily for O'Sullivan it was touching ball so it was easy for him to deal with it.
@@dannygjk how was it a great shot exactly though? Even if it wasn't touching Osullivan would just clip of a red and go behind the black. Jimmy white used to do that in the 80s and quickly realised there's no benefit. It's just negative play
@@owengardiner4628 I didn't say it was a good idea - I said it was a great shot.
It was touching ball so not really.
3:55 FOUL! RONNIE MOVED THE RED!
A most unusual start - Tony Knowles actually appears to be winning a match !!
It was the start of the evening session. The morning session of 9 frames had ended with Knowles leading 8-1. The match was the 1st round of the 1982 World Championship.
At what point in the Doherty-Robertson match at 2:05 did both players just decide "aw, screw this" and start arseing around?
Ray Reardon: "You call that a beard?
..."
Some of those look like if I tried to play snooker. Bad enough at pool, but the huge table just amplifies my inability to play well.
that last break was awesome he's potted a red and landed perfect on the blue
No Doug Mountjoy ?
Snooker was such fun when Reardon and Virgo were playing it.
So where was the Doug Mountjoy break that left the balls as if there hadn't been a break. That has to be the weirdest of all.
Marco's face after the one that starts 4:02 ... haha!
Doubt he'd be smiling to much if he were 9-1 down!!
0:54 whatever you do, don't hit the blue!
Bottom right red ball moved @3.55
I see in the intro pic Parrot breaking off with a Stuart Bingham in his young days in the background.
Refreshing to see that even the legendary Steve Davis had a hiccup now and then.
He lost that match 10-1. That's more than a hiccup, he literally shat his pants
@@Buz-Lunch-PunxActually it was a bent match
@@PointNemo9 Why would Steve Davis deliberately lose 10-1 in the first round?
That Barry Hawkins break pot was hilarious
so hilarious that fu remembered how to laugh! very rare
if you pot a ball from the break off, i assume you then have to pot a colour?
Thank you, Purple Aki.
You don't have to pot a colour. You might play safely off a colour, snooker behind a colour. It's a free world. You could pack up your cue and head off to the pub.
For the curious, despite the dodgy break-off in that frame against Peter Ebdon, Ali Carter made a maximum.
Potting the cue ball on break, however... that's something I do quite a bit when I play pool.
Oh, I thought Ebdon was still at the table?
I do that regularly. Then make 147's.
@@NathanMcCabe88 He probably is, to this day, on a break of 15
What's with the open break offs versus Quinten Hann? Do they think he sucks? I wasn't into snooker then so I probably missed something.
Hann did this kind of break-off rather as a giving up gesture than trying something new. If the match wasn't going in his favour he often smashed the ball into the pack to relief some stress and/or get this match over more quickly. Chance is low that a red is going in and opponent mostly has a good opportunity for a century
1:45 When you decide "fuck everything".
Ahh, Quinten Hann, i remember watching him years back and his break off's and the commentators bitching about how "unprofessional" it was and labelled him as some, sort of bad boy rebel.
As it turns out he was a bad boy, but it wasn't anything to do with his novel breaks.
Have to agree. He was a bad boy due to match fixing, which has the potential to ruin the game. Shame, as he was certainly an 'individual' who brought a certain flair to the table.

love the hawks shot 😛

At the end, did Barry miss the blue?
3:54 if you watch closely you can see the red move?
Unfortunately now we have another incident like this at the crucial end of the World Chmapionship between Higgins and Selby! Only this time its even more minimal and its dividing even more people. Do I have to GIF that one too?
Who's that referee of that Robertson Doherty Match? (2:45 ish)
Michaela Tabb (but retired)
now that you say it... I wasn't entirely sure since I didn't remember her to have such a striking scottish accent.^^
Hehe, well... she is from Scottland as far as I know, but I cannot recognize accents that well as you do^^
It slipped my mind that she was scottish, that's why I was confused...
The pool break looks great...when it works...
Great idea if your gaurenteed a red off every break👍.
Quentin hann legend.
Paul Ramsay or rapist?
And match fixer. Good riddance to that scumbag.
John Higgins is also a "match fixer". Would you say good riddance to that scumbag too?
And bully - threatening to beat up Andy Hicks
And match fixer.
A bad break off shot by these players is almost unforgivable
Are they robots??
Just need to add Mark Williams new break off to this now
And Ronnie's one where he hit the blue ^^
Hann was hilarious. Coked up.
If only, he might still be in the game. I heard he did 3 Doctor Pepper's on one session (snooker).
@Callum Robertson The Colombians are my source.
@@sticksman1979
They were Quenten's too
What is the story with 2:12????
They have a best of 6 match. One of the alreay got 3 frames, so the match was decided. But they still have to play the last 3 frames. So they decided to fool around for a little bit^^
@@musicfan1558 what was the tournament??
Barry Hawkins' was outrageous.
The guy at 1:47 thought he was on a pool table
I'd like to see exhibition matches in which the break off shot cue ball has to hit at least one cushion before it hits a red.
seen stranger breaks
Davis made the first 147 on tv from Spencer break
3.55 Ronnie fouled the red when cueing over the red! it Def moved closer to the pack! what a cheat lol
What's the song at 1:31 called?
Rollercoaster - Ronan Keating
1:42 thinks he’s a professional pool player does he
Why do players not use a very soft break and just roll the cue ball into the pack really gently?
Because it does nothing to help you. If you roll into the pack, your opponent can either play an incredibly easy shot back up to baulk, or just nudge it further up the pack. A good break-off gets some reds out into the open and also gets the cue ball safe up the table, which puts pressure on your opponent to also play safe and makes it risky if they don't.
Has anyone ever potted a red straight from the breakoff and then completed a 147? That would be something special!
Not in an official tournament. But in an exhibition match... jimmy white did it. That video is on youtube
@@musicfan1558 Have you got the link for it? I can't find it.
@@gazzaman28 Sure :)

Well, I thought the break had to be direct. I didn't know you could play it via a cushion.
There is no real rule for breaking-off as far as i know. As long as you hit a red first, its a legal shot.
Reardon made a 141 break from his break off
Without Ebdon miss?....
What was wrong with John Spencer ? A bit stiff in the hips....
Cancer
what is a song 1:34?
Ah, this song was included from the video where i took the clip for it.
But the song is: Rollercoaster - Ronan Keating ^^
3:01 Stan Lee is on the right.
That guy is in a lot of snooker videos from the 80s
Thats Jimmy Hill, surely
anyone else notice Ronnie foul the ball at 3:56?
George Smith It wasn't a foul, inasmuch as the cue bal touched the ball-on, he could simply play the cue ball away.
Alien Sweetheart I know that, but the red slightly moved as he was aiming, look closely haha
no it never george. it's an optical illusion because of the reflection of the cue moving over the red. it's only the reflection you see that makes it appear like the red moved
anton james Fair enough
No, you're right, it did move.
Sharp eyes you've got, sir!
Carter has some serious problems with that blue ball
YAY 50k hit today, I thank you all for that!!!
Well, since many comments say there were bad break offs as well I changed the title a bit
Watch this video with auto subtitles! 🤣🤣🤣
1:46 that's exactly what he was trying to do aswell... why????
hoping to get a lucky red.
Lol Spenser always walked like he had peed his pants and they were still wet.
John *sniff* Spencer..
2:27 LOL!
3:57 looks like Ronnie fouled
the cue and red were touching(ref says "Touching Ball"), Ronnie didn't have to hit a red :)
@@Shadec1 Yes you are correct. But if you watch closely when Ronnie first cues over the corner red it appears to move. It could be an illusion, but i think he grazed the red with his tip🤪
@@Shadec1 True, but he can't move the red the cue ball is touching, either, or touch a red with the cue tip.
To be honest it's the only way Barry Hawkins could get a nice angle on the blue.
it's a shame that we don't have any colourful characters like Quinten Hann in the game of snooker
2 words. Dechawat Poomjaeng.
Daryll Corbett hated hann. he's like a cross between alex higgins and a petulant 10 year old girl.
Umm, Rocket Ronnie?
Someone like that won't last long anymore. The game is taken too seriously nowadays.
Red ball moves at 3:55
If Steve was to break off like that in this modern age, he'd have been banned for match fixing. That break was diabolical for a snooker pro
The commenter sounds like an old Bugs Bunny.
Reardon made 141 from Virgos break
is this the most boring 5 minutes of my life? And yet I watched it!!!
At 3:55 Ronnie made a foul on the right most red!?
yes he did, its O´Sullivan he can :D
Hawkins break is how it should be done
Nice Bandicam watermark!
Quinten Hann would be a top 10 player if he was around today. Standard sas much higher back then
Spenser always walked like he'd plopped in his pants.
Ronnie would have won the frame from Hawkins break off
Haha yes^^
I wonder why he never attemped that break off before
KNOWLES WAS OFF RIDING
But it's disrespectful to the ball's and the game and to MARK SELBY😂🤣😂😜🚀🚀🚀
These are bad breakoffs, not unusual ones
The first ones. Doesnt happen everythime tho. But from 1.30 on
Presumably the unusual part is that you don't often see them happen, although the bad ones were generally unintentional, with some intentional ones being what was unusual.
Jonny Harding bad break-off always happen in tournament huh?
says who?
with the exception of Steve Davis Break off 2 cushions rolling up to the reds. I don't think that's necessarily a bad break it doesn't leave anything on for your opponent and if it's not touching a red it could cause a problem
"exceptions"
You would be Snooker champion of the universe if you could sink a red off the break every time.
Hann genuinely thought he could get one a high percentage of the time with that break.
It wouldn't surprise me if he could in practice, but the variables are likely too great and the margins too small to ever make it a viable tactic in a match.
A taped on beard?? Seriously??
I suspect he was probably trying to impersonate someone and didn't just wear a taped on beard
