If you are playing snooker you have probably heard the term "maximum breaks". It is the highest possible break in a single frame. A player could break the maximum by potting all 15 of the reds or all 15 blacks in a single frame for 120 points. Another way to break that limit is to get all six colours in a single shot for 27 points.
Stephen Hendry's 147
After breaking the record number 147, seven-time World Snooker champion was in the news. He broke in the seventh frame against Stuart Bingham in Sheffield. The world number-one is now defending the title and is eligible for another major award. Hendry does not believe the Crucible's extra incentive to break 147 is worth the risk.
Ronnie O'Sullivan's 147
Ronnie O'Sullivan has made 15 competitive 147 breaks. His first break was made at the 1997 World Championships at the Crucible Theatre. His latest maximum was achieved at the 2018 English Open against Allan Taylor and Elliot Slessor. This is the fastest maximum ever achieved by a male player in the World Championship.
Jimmy White's No. 147
Jimmy White's 1992 break at 147 was one the most famous breaks in snooker. The British professional was an outstanding player who enjoyed a successful career. He won six World Championship finals, the Masters Championship in the UK, and the Masters Championship in the Masters. Despite his successes, he was not able to win The Crucible.
Jimmy White's 147 vs Tony Drago
Jimmy White's 147 against Tony Draga can be considered one of best billiards shots. It was struck by Tony Draga, the former world number 1. It was the fastest century split in a ranking race. Drago is a gifted player, but not without his faults. His temperament can be erratic and he's had bad play against the rest.
