I've actually heard that Ashley Hugill and Anthony McGill are the best practice players and if they played half as good as the do in practice on the pro circuit they would be both world champs
I just read that he is now an amateur. Did he just lose his professional status? I saw his last professional match was back in June. I hope he makes a come back. One thing that I've learned now. I have played in three professional pool tournaments in the U S. Since last year. There's always a practice room at the tournaments just like with snooker and these young pros are always in there running table after table seemingly never missing a ball. It's quite remarkable actually. And I watch them as I'm practicing or taking breaks and I think in my head that if they played that way in the tournament there's not a person that could beat them or at least that they could not compete against. But then they get to the tournament tables and lose their first two matches and are out of the tournament. Looking nothing like they did on those practice tables. Just completely different players. I certainly get nervous when I get to the tournament tables. But with my age I think it doesn't bother me as much now. But I'm not sure what causes them to do that. And it's not just one player. It's a lot of them. They absolutely choke once they get out to the tournament tables and start their matches. I'm not pro. Far from it. I win or get first second or third usually in every amateur tournament I play in. But it's a different ball game when you are playing the pros. Even the young players I practice with before tournaments do the same thing. They kick my butt running table after table but somehow I last much longer than they do in the actual tournament. I don't know if this is something that is going on with Ashley or not. He is clearly an exceptional snooker player from watching this video. Plays right and left handed. His cue ball control is excellent. But what happened to his pro status? I don't ever expect to get a pro card now at 52 but I'm enjoying competing against those guys and especially getting to play with them. I've been in the practice room with Mike sigel and Earl and they were both watching these younger pros practice at one tournament in Virginia last October at the international open. Mike was just there to do an appearance. But Mike said.......this kid has not missed one ball in 15 minutes. Then he told the kid if he plays like that he will win the tournament. That kid got put out of the tournament immediately. Lost his first and second match. One against an amateur. And the other against another young pro. But there were only 10 or so amateurs in it last year. But just wanted to bring that up. Not sure if that's what is going on....just nerves maybe? But I really hope Ashley gets back up there. He clearly has the ability. I think it definitely is hard to keep that same mindset and sense of calmness and comfortability once you get on stage.
You don't really lose professional status you either make enough money to be able to play full time or you don't Hugil's win-loss record in professional events is dreadful he's only won 48% of his matches with most of those wins being in qualifiers in the 9 years he played professionally he only made £163K which is less than an average of £19K a year, by the time you factor in travel costs and hotel bills he'd have made more money working in McDonalds.

Shows how good the very top Pros are. He’s got all the ability in the world and has only got as high as 65 in the world in 9 years around the pro ranks. Tough school.
Stunning play! I was disgusted that the player on the right hand table who watched the end of the first 147 didn't even give so much as a thumbs up. Seems very stingy to me.
Does this count on his professional record or does the 147 need to happen in an officially sanctioned tournament for it to 'count'? Amazing clearances anhways, counts in my book🤣
WST posting this is kinda embarrassing. He’s not even on tour and he’s playing in a club. Fair play to him, but even he knows it’s not a big thing because he barely celebrates. He also plays about 5-10 shots across these 2 breaks that he’d never play on tour regardless of whether he was on the maxi or not

That’s incredible. Very well played Ash. The last 2 reds & colour clearance in the second one were nuts. 💪🔥
Wasn't too controlled or measured but relied on good pots and bit a of luck
Absolutely outstanding achievement! That long red in the second frame was excellent! Well done young man, great work.👏👏👏

So amazing!!! Well done!
Great lad is ash its,great to see him playing so well
I had a dream last night that Si Jiahui did back to back 147s, can't believe it actually happened for someone - well done Ashley Hugill!
@@Aloksbil of course you did…
This gotta be one of the best feelings ever

Wow.. excellent stuff amazing well done 😊
Some of the shots to keep the second break going are bonkers
Would like to hear his thoughts in an interview. Incredible feat that.
Unbelievable, incredible!!
The long version of this just uploaded
video can be found on the Victoria Snooker RUclips channel.
Crazy stuff 😂
i played the video at 0.25 speed.

And i played the video 2× speed
I played it at x2 im build different
Not all heroes wear capes.
AMAZING!
Keep on making those mate you will win the world championships by just making 147's.
Shows how good the very top
Pros are. He’s got all the ability in the world and has only got as high as 65 in the world in 9 years around the pro ranks. Tough school.
He’s a very fast player!
Well done!!! 👍
Some of the recovery pots 😳 sheesh!
Two 147 in 5:19! Faster than O'Sullivan! 😮😮😮😮😮
I wish I could bring my practice game to tournaments
Just..Wow!
Amazing
Sorry. It was on 147 likes but I made it 148. I guess this might get 296 likes - but it deserves far more than that.
The last part of the second maximum was crazy. He's obviously very talented. I wonder why he hasn't achieved anything as a pro?
I did that yesterday. Sadly the cameras weren't on. It's really, really difficult.
Amazing to see, and nicely presented video!
is there an unmolested video of this rare feat anywhere ?
He's probably done something no person has ever done
No pressure without a crowd. But still fantastic
"main table"
Let's hope 'The Panda' gets another one at a triple crown for the big bonus.
Ronnie has done 9 in a row & was in the 80s in the tenth go in front of witnesses in practice.
Stunning play!
I was disgusted that the player on the right hand table who watched the end of the first 147 didn't even give so much as a thumbs up. Seems very stingy to me.
Like no-147
This boy is going to break this sport
Wow!
I know Ronnie made three 147s in a row at a exhibition in 2013
Watching Snooker via a Hik Vision CCTV camera 😂
a lot easier when theres no pressure
Snooker should always be Sped up. Two 147's? Fairly sure the guy had his Eye in.
Does this count on his professional record or does the 147 need to happen in an officially sanctioned tournament for it to 'count'? Amazing clearances anhways, counts in my book🤣
What the heck is the guy on the right table practicing?
Fantastic stuff well done 👍🏻🍀
Whenever he plays with mark allen he forgets how to hold cue lol
🎉🎉🎉
No break off, no legit.

cutting to the videos the way you did makes it very scammy.
Not exactly a ‘rare feat’ making two 147’s in practice.. I’m pretty sure many other pros have done this
who??
So who is this no-name and why is he not on the tour? Club table pockets twice the size probably..
👍
Test
❤🎉😅
Nothing special as an ex pro player
Pity he couldn't do this on tour....
I knew there'd be one....
