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 reach maximum break by potting all of the 15 reds as well as all of the 15 blacks for 120 point. Another way to break this limit is to put all six colours into a single frame and earn 27 points.
Stephen Hendry's book 147
The record-breaking number of 147 has made headlines for seven-time World Snooker champion. The break came in the seventh frame of his first-round match against Stuart Bingham in Sheffield. The world number one is now defending his title and is in line for another major prize. Hendry doesn't believe that the extra incentive offered by the Crucible's 147 break is worth the risk.
Ronnie O'Sullivan's 147
Ronnie O'Sullivan has made 15 competitive 147 breaks. His first was during the 1997 World Championship held at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield. His latest maximum was achieved at the 2018 English Open against Allan Taylor and Elliot Slessor. This is the World Championship's most fast maximum by a male tennis player.
Jimmy White's 147
Jimmy White's 1992 147 break was one of the greatest snooker breaks. 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 success, he never managed to win The Crucible.
Jimmy White's victory against Tony Drago
Jimmy White's 147 against Tony Draga is considered one of the best billiards shots ever. The former world number one hit it in three minutes, 31 seconds. It was the fastest century split in a ranking race. Drago is a skilled player, but he has his faults. His temperament is not always perfect and he often plays poorly against the rest.
Jimmy White's 47 against Jimmy White
A table tennis record of 147 points is impressive. Jim White was the first person to achieve this feat in 1992. In one of his matches against Steve Davis, White broke the reds early in the game. He looked on track for his career record of 147. He faced a long pot on his 10th black. After kissing off a red, White settled for black. This earned him PS114,000. Drago greeted Drago warmly after the match.
