Just a link to some more interesting snooker statistics here (not by me):
https://twitter.com/snookerbrain1/statu ... 29/photo/1This one is fun: it looks like Ronnie shifted to another gear around the 5000 frames mark, veering away from the likes of Selby, Hendry & Higgins.
Trump & Robertson also seem to have this upward knick in their plot line, illustrating they're effectively improving or getting better over time at it as well...

This was another graph by the same guy:
It plots the number of configurations of a break, against it's points value. Comparing this to the number of breaks of a given point value that have actually happened would give an indication of how difficult it is to get to a certain point value.

I like this sort of thing.
I guess it is theoretically possible to score a break of 15 in one shot by potting all the reds at once, however, whether it is actually possible in a physics sense is another debate.

Interesting footnote they added. So the best performance is by Ding, who didn't win.

70 is a nice round number, but 68 is actually the golden score.

I do believe Ronnie has won some matches.

Great image. Makes Dott's win all the more remarkable.

I also stumbled across this song, which was completely unknown to me.
Couldn't help but think of Johnny Bravo

There's only 6pockets so would be some feat, what's the maximum reds in one shot? I see 2 sometimes maybe 3, anyone seen more? If anyone can pot all in 1 shot I would give it to John Virgo as he's quite the trickshot maker.
It is possible in a trickshot, you simply have to arrange the balls in a particular/specific manner/pattern.
But in a real game situation, not in a million years.

Don't be so modest, you could do it no-handed.
Maybe with the cue in your mouth. Or even commanding the cue to levitate from the floor, and playing the shot itself. Such is the respect inanimate objects have for your authority.

ROS always says that 2012 was his best performance at the WC but looking at the stats his scoring was actually the weakest that year compared to his other wins. Personally I always thought that 2012 is overrated and 2013 was much better. And the stats prove me right.
I still think 2022 was his best win though given the overall circumstances (performance+draw+equalling the record).

an infinite number of johnny bravos playing an infinite number of snooker shots in infinite time would eventually pot all fifteen reds in a single shot.

Do you what that particular/specific manner/pattern actually is?
I would love to see it and give it a try.

Sorry, but I don't know. I've seen some exhibitions where they pot around 8 balls or more in one shot, so I assume it can also be done with more.
For example, they did it with around 30-40 balls in pool, so something similar can surely be done in snooker.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBGPPtAuNU4I also found this simulation of how you can pot all the reds in snooker:

At first I thought potting 15 reds in one shot was physically impossible. But, after seeing those videos, I'm not so sure.
Now, I think it could be done. But the initial set-up would need to be absolutely perfect.
Thanks for the videos.

You're welcome.
And yes, the setup needs to be perfect.
I usually don't try/practice any trickshots, I just like to pot balls.
