Babe, wake up, it's that time of the year to binge watch Snooker highlight videos all night, and then never think about the game again. Thanks RUclips, you've done this to me for like a decade+
To future players. As my father taught me, I will share his advice. Play 8ball with regulation size balls on a snooker table. Once I was good at 8 ball on a snooker table, bar and regulation tables were nothing. Reasons are the pockets are smaller on a snooker table and area is much larger. It accelerated the development of my eye. Good luck
@@asiseeit2041 so your playing on a snooker table with 2 1/4inch balls. That would help alot although the rail heights may affect your feel of bounces as it would react different. I only asked cos uk pool is played with balls under 2 inches smaller than snooker balls so would actually make it slightly easier. Good strategy though. And yes the pockets are tight as hell on snooker tables.
This video is a fantastic tribute to Efren Bata Reyes! His shots are not just about skill; they demonstrate a deep understanding of the game. It's mind-blowing to see how he can pull off those unbelievable shots under pressure. Thanks for showcasing these legendary moments! 🎱🔥
@@paulchristie3306 I knew Kirk when he grew up. He used to play snooker at the Golden Cue in Scarborough, Ontario Canada. He went to Bendale high school but never went the school used to phone every weekday at 9:00am to make sure he was at the Golden Cue. Joe let him play for free and backed him if anyone wanted to play Kirk for money.
I was going to comment on a Jimmy White shot that was missed. But to be fair, and as someone else here has commented before me - this is actually one of the few compilations that has some amazing shots, some of which I hadnt seen before. Nice job!
Neil's face was the winner, after Maguire's oddball. Best shots: - Murphy x2 - Walden Great shots from Rocket, Trump, Davis, Robertson, Heathcote, Williams, etc. Great vid, thanks a lot!
0:32 No. Not close. Watch at .25x speed. At least a quarter second late. Should've been running instead of jogging. 5:48 Has to be best of the best. Wow.
I love Murphy's Escape/Red pot @5.35, the vision and talent to do it first try (having seen it done it took 6+? tries for someone on RUclips to recreate it)
I've got a device attached to my phone. that when I speak it types the word. thank you very much. the same device can also translate writen word for me.
imho, Commentary or not, I appreciate there being time to see the layout of the balls and what was being attempted before the cue ball was hit. Many compilations feel rushed to me - requiring pausing or rewinding to see the initial layout.
2:10 Great shot by Selby, but since it's the shot that all of us useless bar-players would try (and miss!), it's a bit far fetched to add the "HIGH IQ!". 😂
@chrislaw4189 what does that have to do with choosing the best shot? By the way, there is one shot from him in the list, the extreme top spin on the black in order to open the two reds on the black cushion.
@@vladomatoski1634 Ah ok fair enough. I was pretty sure he was still banned, in which case he would not be eligible. I guess his ban must have now expired.
For some they missed the real skill in the shot. To double a ball the length of the table is one thing but to generate the power needed to keep the backspin alive to the point of contact is truly impressive and to cap it off he managed to judge the spin loss over 10 feet to end plum on the black. I remember Davis trying to replicate that shot, he managed to pot the pink once in 25 attempts but never managed to keep the spin on the cue ball once.
I have seen so many of these 'greatest shot' videos on youtube, but it is very rare that most of the shots on them are actually great shots. Kudos to ya, as it feels like you have actually done your research into great snooker shots to make this video, as I can see a strong case for each of these shots being one of the best in snooker history. Liked and subscribed :)
I am enjoying all the Americans in the comments going on about Reyes and not even understanding that they're not watching pool games. That takes *TRUE* stupidity.
Put him on a regulation table without the aids of larger pockets and diamond markers to help calculate the shots and watch him founder against snooker pros. He's good, but there's a reason he never made it in snooker.
Hay I am not snooker or billiards player. If you want to chest, wear a heavy wrist band and biceps band. And hit the ball as fast as possible. Make the cue (hitting stick, is that what it is called?) with high moment of inertia from the point of grip so it won't twist. If there are restrictions on what to wear, then wear them during training and not during testing.---suggestions by physics nerd.
Total bollocks. Suggest you pick up a cue then in 20 years when you have the experience and skill you might understand why what you wrote is nonsense. By the way, power is produced by the shoulder and elbow not the biceps. If you force the shot you WILL miss. There is no twisting in a cue it is manufactured to make twisting impossible but you don’t know what you’re talking about so obviously that is why your comment was pure sewage. A two year old could do better.
Great compilation! 'Shot of the decade' getting thrown around for 'shot of the tournament' nominees quite a bit though. :D And 'shot of the century' on a total fluke... man... :D
0:30 .... And then pause half way through the 35th second ... According to the TV countdown he didn't make it in time ! Clock shows 0:00 and cueball hasn't moved
Probably shouldn't be on this list as it was a fluke. He simply overhit the shot and got lucky that it still went in. But I think the white also went in so he wasn't really that lucky after all.
you see people calling this sport but for me this lads are artist much better then this new age artist i mean i get my blood pressure down just simply sitting in chair and watching this, theree are like 10 shoots where i didnt even know where will he shoot and what ball is he after and i watch right in to it hahahahaha. magician
@@rocketsnooker147 likely accepted the adjudicator's verdict was correct. And it would have been diffict to challenge the decision when the crowd was so hyped. Truth is he didn't actually lose.
Gary lost out again last week in Manchester against Ronnie when the referee could him for hitting the pink before it hit the red. Admittedly it was close but frame-by-frame replay showed he did hit the red first. He ended up losing the match. Feeling a bit bad for the guy...
I made my living as a road hustler in the 80's. I had to make a lot of those difficult shots, but I had to make mine look accidental to keep the players at the table.
Stephen Maguire’s shot (1:22) doesn’t really belong in this compilation. It’s a fluke, not a “top shot”. It cheapens the rest of the list to include fluke shots.
The last time I played snooker was in a grass hut bar in a little village outside of Phitsanolock Thailand in 1976. Only white guy within miles so needless to say I made sure I didn’t win.

UK 8 Ball or us? Ball sizes are very different
I stayed in a hostel for 3 years, and they had 2 full size tables. Playing pool on 7ft tables in pubs was completely different after that experience.
I live in the us
Then you understand.

Stop talking nonsense, bot!
I understand virtually nothing of the game but the shots look really cool! Wish I could play pool like that ^^
I love how ricky walden high fived mark selbys hand when he made a 147
I wish I had an idea as to what was going on. True feats of mastery. I will now have to look into this snookery
Really great video keep up the great work!
Great vid…that yellow pot off the jaws was just ridiculous 😂 their lack of reaction is astounding to me
Probably during COVID when there were no spectators
I best he was wishing for a crowd in that moment! 😂
Great compilation
Many thanks!
Jimmy white and his banana shot was one of the best I have seen.
@fook. When he was playing Kirk (coke) Stevens ?
@@paulchristie3306 I knew Kirk when he grew up. He used to play snooker at the Golden Cue in Scarborough, Ontario Canada.

And his Masse shot out of a snooker against O'Sullivan.
I love how they manage to give the balls a rotation to further move em

It was one of the best snooker videos. that was perfect😂
Neil's face was the winner, after Maguire's oddball.
Best shots:
- Murphy x2
- Walden
Great shots from Rocket, Trump, Davis, Robertson, Heathcote, Williams, etc.
Great vid, thanks a lot!
1:32 He didn't look shocked* to me.
Me pareceu mais indignado 😂😂
I love the "thats right" face at the end of these
in history... there's not a shot in here older than 15 years
0:32 No. Not close. Watch at .25x speed. At least a quarter second late. Should've been running instead of jogging.
5:48 Has to be best of the best. Wow.
Where is Jimmy white shot against Ronnie o Sullivan.
5.36 minutes shoot
I just say HOW??? 🤯🤯
WHAT???? 🤯🤯
its unbelievable 🔥
My algorithm has gone mad, I watch this after bunch of glass making, glass blowing, but I really like this video👍
A top 32 and not an Alex or Jimmy shot among them? You're having a laugh, mate!
I don't even know what snooker rules are, but those shots look so unreal and masterful
One of the few videos where the thumbnail’s super-imposed yellow line was accurate to the video.
I love Murphy's Escape/Red pot @5.35, the vision and talent to do it first try (having seen it done it took 6+? tries for someone on RUclips to recreate it)

Some cracking snooker played here, I can't understand why there are so many negative comments, just enjoy.
¡Excelente! Un video bien explicado, gracias
The Shaun Murphy one is the most impressive to me.
I have no idea whats going on but impressive anyway.
The voiceover is good. It provides context and the names of the players.
The voiceover wasnt needed
Perhaps, but I appreciated being given the occasional context (i.e., what tournament, what round). And I liked that the voiceover snippets were short.
imho,
Commentary or not, I appreciate there being time to see the layout of the balls and what was being attempted before the cue ball was hit. Many compilations feel rushed to me - requiring pausing or rewinding to see the initial layout.
Course it was, for us blind people.
Exactly, it's over exaggerated bull, I'm surprised he didn't say 'watch this death defying shot'😅
Yeah I agree it served no purpose
2:10 Great shot by Selby, but since it's the shot that all of us useless bar-players would try (and miss!), it's a bit far fetched to add the "HIGH IQ!". 😂
Shaun Murphy's two shots are the two greatest snooker shots of all time!
Somehow I'm convinced that only the Brits would make this a spectator sport.
Very popular in China too, Americans don't have the attention span for it ;)
This man’s voice goes through me
Extremely annoying
Sean Murphy needs to work on his 'cat that got the cream' look.
It was a cool shot!
Top commentary!!
I came for Semih Saygıner! 🎉❤❤❤
Heathcotes Yellow against Day was played for and got, One of the Greatest Snooker Shots in History.
Murphy trick shot is effen Reyes level..
You are missing the Stephen Lee screw back with reverse side on the blue against Mark Williams. That's the best shot ever played.
No, Stephen Lee is banned for match fixing.

why wouldn't it be eligible? Doesn't say best shots from snooker players who aren't banned does it?
Alex Higgins pink down the length of the table then pots the black one handed best two shots ever
Against Virgo in unofficial frame?
@@rocketsnooker147 do you think Ronnie aside anyone could've did what Alex did with the pink and black ???
@@markjeffers4663 I don't think so bro, the cue ball control on those two shots was insane.

Gary Wilson safety vs Trump, easily top 3 ever

0:35 the clock went to 0 before the ball went in.
The ball has to be struck before the clock goes to zero not it going in.

If you play it in slowmo at .25 That the clock runs out and hits zero before he even hits the ball. I was rooting for the guy, but yeah
@@mikeorgan1993😊😅
I miss willie thorne, legend!
Good player but like watching paint dry. Sorry.
Yeah, I don’t get snooker. It’s like rugby; it looks similar to a game I know, but still significantly different.
No reynes here hahahahahahaha
he doesn't play snooker. this video is about snooker. does it hurt being that stupid or does it come naturally for you?
ничего не понятно, но очень интересно!
"Name the best 32 Snooker shots and explain why they're all Ronnie O'Sullivan."
Nice collection, thanks for posting.
Shaun murphys shot isnt hard at all but it does look good.
Are you sure these 6:00 7:12 9:30 11:04 is one of the top 31 in history ??!!
I did the same more than 100 times
Great compilation! 'Shot of the decade' getting thrown around for 'shot of the tournament' nominees quite a bit though. :D
And 'shot of the century' on a total fluke... man... :D
0:30 .... And then pause half way through the 35th second ... According to the TV countdown he didn't make it in time ! Clock shows 0:00 and cueball hasn't moved
Actually Gary accepts the defeat. So, it wasn't checked in depth.
No way that Anthony mcgill shot got in there....is this his RUclips channel?😂😂😂
5:35 To me thats the best shot ever
Can someone explain that Steven Maguire shot? Wasn't too hard to put it in the hole, and he even scuffed it.
Probably shouldn't be on this list as it was a fluke. He simply overhit the shot and got lucky that it still went in. But I think the white also went in so he wasn't really that lucky after all.
Obviously only a modern snooker viewer.. little or nothing before 2000..
Oh! I'm soo old... I remember Hendry's shot 🤦
The thumbnail shot is 5.34 your welcome 👍
Veo a la australiana bailando breaking en los JJOO y no me explico como este deporte no esta...
When you hype up every shot as "The best shot. The shot of the decade. Blah blah blah." it devalues every single shot.
Their not hyping up every shot, just the ones that have been included in the video about the best shots in history!!!
I agree, its not about you voice over!

Voice over - fail.
No replays - fail.

Swail hit the ball just after the timer hits zero. Can slow it down and check it for yourselves.
Maybe but Gary accepts the defeat.
@@rocketsnooker147 likely accepted the adjudicator's verdict was correct. And it would have been diffict to challenge the decision when the crowd was so hyped. Truth is he didn't actually lose.

From 4 or more then that I was thinking who to correct my ue actions
There was a couple of great shots some of these are basic snooker shots.
They were all shots I would take.
6:43 inacreditável
I'm not trying to make this shot smaller as it is 4:10 didn't Alex Higgins made that shot as well?
Very impressive but doesn't anyone play regular pool anymore?
Pool is a different game and played on small size tables
Apparently I've been playing the wrong game all this time. All of my crappy pool shots look like they would be awesome snooker shots.
