Snooker Question!!?

Question

can anyone tell me the snooker game in which the brown ball goes into the middle pocket by travelling on top of th cushion, along the side of the table, and drops into the pocket???

Answer 1

it was a trickshot not a game of snooker that would not be a game of snooker.

Answer 2

Same kind of game with 400 dominoes on the table they call it a trick shot i wont go any farther dont get me wrong most (trick shots) are skill shot

But that kind of stuff is like a dancing chicken you just gotta wonder why

Make a 4 rail combo to get out of a safety if you wanna impress me

Answer 3

I`ve done that with the Black during a Club Comp..

Answer 4

It wasn't a trick shot, it was Alan McManus against Nigel Bond in 2003.   See the report here (it's down near the bottom of the page):

Answer 5

Ignore those other answers! I know the game you mean.   It happened in the Savoy Snooker Club in Catford in the late 80s.  The guy who played the shot was my good mate Chris, but I went on to win the game! He tried to pot it in the corner, but hit it so hard it jumped up onto the top of the cushion, and rolled into the middle pocket. The same thing happened to Alex 'Hurrricane' Higgins in a game against Cliff Thorburn I think, on TV.

Answer 6

That's not a game, it's a trick shot.

Answer 7

what ????

Answer 8

Is that not the answer to the competition on BBC? If so it was by Alan McManus in 2003. Forgotten the opponent but if you watch the Final tomorrow the answer will be on.
