The term "maximum Break" is a common expression in snooker. It refers to the highest break in a single frame. Player could for example make a maximum break if they can pounce all 15 reds and all fifteen blacks, which would earn 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 world record of 147, a seven-time World Snooker champion is making headlines. The break was made in the seventh frame of his match against Stuart Bingham, Sheffield. The world number one is now defending his title and is in line for another major prize. However, Hendry is not convinced that the extra incentive provided by a 147 break in the Crucible 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 most recent maximum was at the 2018 English Open against Elliot Slessor, and Allan Taylor. This is the fastest maximum achieved by a male player at the World Championship.
Jimmy White's Number 147
One of the most memorable breaks in snooker history was Jimmy White's 147 break in 1992. The British professional enjoyed a stellar career and was one the most loved snooker players ever. 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 against Tony Drago
Jimmy White's 147 against Tony Draga was regarded as one the most memorable billiards shots. The former world number one hit it in three minutes, 31 seconds.

Jimmy White's score of 147 against Jimmy White
A table tennis break of just 147 is quite an achievement. Jim White broke 147 in 1992, but few people know about it. White broke the reds very early in a match against Steve Davis. White seemed to be on the right track for his career high 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 received him warmly following the match.
