That was superb and to give commentary whilst making the maximum is next level. Holt is clearly still a top player, with his talent he should be mixing it up with the top 16.
Obviously not a pressure player. In other words he bottles it. Not knocking his talent as that is very apparent but to be a top flight tele player you need bottle!?
@@jama211 this guy does 147's for fun on a practice table. The reason he can't beat the elite is because he can't take his practice game to the tele games....because he doesn't have the bottle. That's what makes the great players GREAT! They can do it under pressure. I have a very deep understanding of the game.
Fabulous made it look easy. Felt it for John Higgins when the white ball virtually touching yellow so really difficult to cut in corner pocket. Next year they have doubled it to a million dollars for the 167 👍 but back to you Fantastic, incredible and cool cool cool 👏👏👏👏👏
I can hardly even pot 2, no where near how to even think about learning how to make 167. I just find it so amazing and interesting to watch. And as others have said, the commentary is amazing. You’re actually describing out loud what you need to do and what you’re aiming to do.
@@Happy-mh8xq lmao, do you have such a shit life you just HAD to comment something to try and get a inch of happiness? Did my comment make you that that angy little man :(
14:28 The phone rings and the Saudi King whispers down it “It has to be a gold ball, not a yellow - no million for you Michael….you must try harder” and hangs up! 😄
Yes having mastered the circa 30 highest break back in the 1980's I really need know how to make 167, Request - next week please explain how I master Alchemy!
Nice idea for a vid Michael! Sort of a strange event, but it did produce some great snooker. You should've put a golden ball (or extra yellow) from the outset really, though! Anyway, hope the points work out for you better next season - you're a great addition to the tour and love watching you play.
@@jama211 yeah I see that and ya could be right but having that golden ball glaring at you the whole way through the frame probably makes a difference. Either way it’s a pity it wasn’t there from the start cos then it’s just not a true golden ball break as in real life game sitchy so it just can’t be chalked up as the first golden ball break on RUclips like he said. But he’s clearly awesome. Love his cocky cheeky attitude as well. Lookin forward to watching him on the circuit
Xcellent Michael, classy break reguardless, not many people can do that choose how many takes it took 🙂 ......I'd never heard of the golden ball before so cheers..... Congratz on card too 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi Michael, great channel and the best in my opinion. Could you cover aiming whilst playing with side please? As in do you put your half a tip of side on by adjusting your back cue hand (slight across the ball) or parallel shifting when you approach the shot? Cheers, David. Ps; really appreciate the time and effort you put into the channel and all the best for the new season.
Amazing ! shows how much pressure must come into making money as a pro. I have seen a club pro make a 147 but never managed to qualify for a single ranking event in 20 years. Still take nothing away from this incredible break and final pot - impressive hope his return to the game goes well seems like a nice guy and it probably is a first ever on film 🎉
Love a mr semantics type of reply. You clearly like yes prime minister. Ok for twats like you , the man who was paid by the snooker club to give lessons so in the dictionary definition is a professional snooker player. I saw him make a 147 and probably the same amount in £’s per week from the club. Let me know if you need further clarification 😂
Very similar to how I play. Unfortunately the pockets on both tables in the club I play at are broken, so I usually break down at 6/7 balls. Nice tutorial.
Unbelievable... fascinating....do you pros do 147 on regulator? John Higgins was world champion n world number 1 and hadn't made one. Soo Impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed. Amazing thankyou
I just wondered a couple of details about the gold ball rules. What happens if the gold ball is hit - 'in game'. Say for example if the cue ball hits it by mistake after successfully pot a colour. Is it put back to baulk or is it just left in the position? As I understand, it is a foul 4 if potted by mistake. Another scenario, If you have successfully potted a black and made a 147 can the cue ball cannon on to the gold ball, hence making it easier to pot? Or are you only allowed to pot it from the baulk? I haven't seen enough games with the ball in play.
The gold ball needs to be on the table from the very start. It is possible for it to be dislodged during safety play for instance without incurring a penalty.
Hi Michael. Thanks for explaining this. I just read that if you lead with your hip you turn your body properly into the shot and lock yourself off. Does this sound right to you?
@@MichaelHoltSnookerCoaching Thats what I thought mate. Your videos are great by the way...they break down all the cr@p. Mike Im playing the worst Ive ever played...where would you point me first bud. P.s im not too clever with the link thing Mike and im not sure where I saw it. Looking at your videos mate it seems important to turn the body.
The odds offered for a 167 in the Saudi tournament were only about 5-1 against. Not too surprising when you think that nowadays there is a 147 just about every other tournament and the 167 is just one more ball! And the Saudi was quite a small event starting with only 12 players - 11matches, I think starting with 128 or so players the odds would probably be about 2-1
Awesome 👏👏 !! I have an idea, why not have a bronze, silver and gold ball. Could be positioned on the top cushion in line with the yellow, green and brown. Max break 200 double ton (15 + 18 + 20). They can have a bronze, silver and gold high break prize. What you think ? The Saudis might like it, another added dimension !!
WOW fantastic stuff. Really incredible. However I'm glad that the 167 wasn't scored in the recent championship. It's just some rich guys idea who obviously don't know what to do with their money. A 167 would just take away from the beauty of making a genuine 147 under the snooker rules. Having the World Snooker body agree to this nonsense, is beyond me. Im happy that it can be part of an exhibition but not in a professional match. What's next , a star studded ball worth 500 points or a diamond ball worth 1000 points. Just childish dreams thought out by silly men with heaps of cash. Btw I'm certain you the only one who's done it ( 167 ) .....and hopefully the last as well. Once again a fantastic exhibited achievement 👏👏👏
That was superb and to give commentary whilst making the maximum is next level. Holt is clearly still a top player, with his talent he should be mixing it up with the top 16.
It’s ok doing it on his own table but it’s playing under pressure that becomes the test
Obviously not a pressure player. In other words he bottles it. Not knocking his talent as that is very apparent but to be a top flight tele player you need bottle!?
@@taff6987 There's a bit more to it than that, sometimes the top players are just hard to beat man, pressure or no.
commentating on your own frames is way quieter than the internal conversation

Well done mate! Congratulations! Can't wait to see you back on the tour.
deserves 10 times the views it has! amazing break! stunning cue ball control.
Nice 149, well done! 👏🏻
lol
😂😂😂
Lol
Lol....great point . I obviously missed that little technicality
No, it break167 last ball it golden ball = 20 poit
amazing clearance and wonderful break of 167 ... wish to see u in top ten ranking
1st 167 break in the whole world. Well done🙏

Top class indeed… super talented and you make a tough game look so easy…and it isn’t. As good a break as I have seen in a very long time.

Nobody likes a pedant. 😂
Man that was superb. You have got incredible precision and accuracy. Good luck with the coming championships.
Absolutely brilliant Michael,👏👏 good luck for the coming season
Brilliant talentveeally hope micheal kicks in on tour ...love to work with him and push him forward
That was amazing looking forward to see you compete on tour

Absolutely superb you completely deserve to be on the tour😊
That was unreal Michael! So so good!
Well done mate. Love watching your videos with my lad .
Thank you
Incredible. I just can't fathom how hard that is to do
Wow! Supercool video of a really wonderful break. Wanna see you in Riyadh next year mate!
what a superb break, well done Michael
Class Michael 👍🏻. Congrats on your card too mate
Very cool Michael...was funny that you were unhappy with most of the shots😂!
ioi my first watching 167 Break! great shooting! TY and congratulations!
Absolutely incredible!
Brilliant!! 1st 167 that I know of. Love watching your vids. 👍👍👍
Excellent. Calm amd collected. No one can argue that you're not a top talent. 👏👏
Thank you. 😃
super cool dude! I love your 'true to yourself' and natural approach. Lovely break..;)
congrats Michael, and best wishes to doing well on the tour

Awesome to watch but yeah the golden/yellow ball really needs to be there right from the break off. You can’t just go adding it later can ya
@@RnRDreamsComeTrue wouldn't have made any difference, all the play was top table
I guess he's not got a spare ball?
@@jama211 yeah I see that and ya could be right but having that golden ball glaring at you the whole way through the frame probably makes a difference.

Well done Michael. Hopefully you'll do it next year in Saudi and get some serious money 💰🤑
Cnt see him being invited to Saudi after just getting his tour card but yeah he’s a good man and I hope he has a good season
Xcellent Michael, classy break reguardless, not many people can do that choose how many takes it took 🙂 ......I'd never heard of the golden ball before so cheers..... Congratz on card too 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awesome man, what a nice chap you are, good luck in the next tournament 👍
amazing HOLT.. this one video is a masterclass :)
Very well done and flawless 167 break.

Nice! Great video idea. Neat to find you here on RUclips.
Ever so slightly impressive Michael! 🙌🙌
Can't wait to see your snooker year ahead pal! 🔥
Look forward to seeing you again soon. 👌
That was awesome, really hope you can get back competing at the top.
Fantastic you're the best!!
What a shot Michael…Looking forward to see your professional matches coming up…🍻🍻🍻
With his talent that shows you how hard it is to make it to the top 16
Amazing! And you make it looks so easy! Congratulations! Well done!
Michael looks more like a Hollywood actor than a snooker player.
Absolute world class Michael - congratulations
Excellent! Just can’t imagine what the pressure would be like, knowing it’s for 800k next year!
Looking sharp Michael hopefully get to watch you on the tv soon in some good form
Simply brilliant! Loved it!!

If he's a pro - one of the 130 listed pro's - then he automatically qualifies for all ranking events, and if he's not he doesn't.

Brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well done Michael. Another great vid. How many attempts did you need to pull it off?
Excellent!
You too good mate ...lots of love ❤
Very similar to how I play. Unfortunately the pockets on both tables in the club I play at are broken, so I usually break down at 6/7 balls. Nice tutorial.
Wooaw.!!! Can wait to see you again on tour!!!!
Looking forward to see your upcoming match, when will it be?
Jeeez amazing play mate
Superb break……but more ‘here we go’ than Fabricio Romano 😂👌🏻
My duuuude. Well done. 🤙🤙🤙
Brilliant mate! Nice arrows
well done
An extra ball could've been on the table on the gold ball's spot at all time 🤔

As you get no money for that 167, I think yellow is a most appropriate colour.
He might get £1.67 from RUclips😂

That was outstanding Mr H! If I could get a 67 let alone a 167, I'd be a happy man :)
Are there any shots in that 147 that in a big tournament you might have decided to play a safety?
Superb 👌
Nice one
Surely a 175 would be the highest break possible if you take the a free ball with your 1st pot.
Can only imagine the pressure trying to do that in tournament
For $500,000 as well. That pressure would be insane 😂
Shame you didn’t have another yellow ball would have been nice have it at start. But taking nothing away from you. Great clearance 👏
Te vagy a király🤩👌💪
That was phenomenal Sir
Respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Awesome 👏👏 !! I have an idea, why not have a bronze, silver and gold ball. Could be positioned on the top cushion in line with the yellow, green and brown. Max break 200 double ton (15 + 18 + 20).

I really enjoyed watching the 167 format and would like to give it a go. Do you know where I can get hold of a golden ball.
Give David Beckham a call, apparently he's got a pair.
Great content champ! Hope to see u live on tv again ❤ keep up !
How did you play the golden ball from that angle?
Top player would love to see you win the 167 break for real
Nicely done Holty
Cracking break MH ❤
Супер брейк! Браво Майкл! Удачи в сезоне 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰/𝟮𝟱! 👍
Bravo!
To be fair, no audience was served tea while on the last red. 😉
Where do I send the cheque Michael ?
Should’ve given David Beckham a call, apparently he's got a couple.
Fantastic break! It’s crazy to think that somebody this good hasn’t won fk all!
He's still won more than almost every other snooker player.
👏🏻
this is the first 167 in the history of snooker
The sound of cue when drawing bk but is satisfying. Reckon its sanded down. But quality vid i skipped 2 end lol
