Has anyone ever had a break of more than 147?

Question

thanks all great help

Answer 1

The 155 was nearly achieved by Alex Higgins , how ever he missed out by not getting the 16 blacks , the fact you get the free ball after the break without any ball being potted , is very rare in itself , in the professional game

Answer 2

yes , you can make 155

the other player plays to break and misses and you have a free ball

you play the colour as a red and the black

then go on to make a 147 + 8 = 155

Answer 3

155

Answer 4

its not possible, thats the max

Answer 5

its not impossible. you can get a free ball and nominate a colour as a red pot it then the black giving you 8 points then clear up with a 147 - sounds easy doesn't it?!

Answer 6

YES,Alex higgins was the first ever player to make a 16 red ball clearance although his break was not the max 155,but i know for a fact that i read in the guinness book of records that someone(can't remember his name)made more than a 147 after clearing the table of 16 reds including a free ball.

Answer 7

No thats the maximum break, but the maximum score is 154.

Answer 8

Jamie Burnett got once a 148 break starting with a free ball, so he was free to combine 15 red balls and an extra colour ball as a red one.

Answer 9

the maximum score you can make in snooker is 155. alex higgins made a 153....on the breakoff your opponant fouls and leaves a freeball,that is your extra red plus black then 15 red,15 blacks and all colours equals 155.the 147 is classed as the maximum as it is virtually impossible to get a freeball from the breakoff although not entirely imposible.

Answer 10

The canadian kirk stevens,got the free ball and potted 9 reds after,the free ball before missing

Answer 11

That's impossible mate !!
