Members High Break Scoreboard

Sonny wrote:Nice story renniwevarb, it brought back the feeling of being on your highest break. It is weird when you beat your previous best by a big margin like over 10 points, I've done it a couple of times and once you get past the magic number you relax a bit. That's why I know when I do eventually get a century break I'll carry on potting balls so my first proper century could be over 130 for all I know. I've broken down so many times in the 80's and 90's just because of that mental barrier. And every time I've beaten my best break I couldn't sleep that night as I'm replaying the whole thing over and over in head.

It sounds like you're on the right path and if you're a brave winner and you keep practicing then you'll get a century break.

I'm still actually pretty stunned that so far I've not managed to get one because I've beaten heavily many a century break maker in my time. I know how to play the game of snooker though which is what stands me in good stead, it's more than just breaks. I know my positional play lets me down at times though hence I guess no centuries.


Right, this thread - rather than keep having to update the first post, I'll get the information from the members list (as you can see there is a Highest Break section of your profile). Some liars will be found out

Sonny - I think you are saying you are a bit of a choker/bottler.

And you expected to get it?

Sonny wrote:It's why I find it funny when we talk about chokers in the professional game because there's very few in reality. I really suffer when put under pressure. Occasionally I out perform myself and play better than ever, but that's too rare. Most of the time I go to pieces.

The frustrating thing is I got virtually all of them back in the summer of 2008 and I reckon Im a far better player these days despite only getting the odd 40 from time to time.

For me, unless Im playing 3/4 times a week Ive little chance of getting the bigger breaks.

And thats if my mate hasnt got in first, missed the black and tied it up!!

To be honest I waste a lot of shots- potting reds then playing simply to free the black or pink when theres a simlpe shot on the yellow.

5) Sonny 97 (in a match 89)
6) Alex0paul 85 (91 if no in-off)
7) case_master wc 68
8) JohnFromLondonTown 65
9) andreiolay212 56
