What's your highest break in snooker?

34. Prior to that it was 15 . I'm not really sure what happened that day because I've never scored more tha 16 since.
 
Somewhere in the teens, 17 maybe?

I remember me and my mate played a full best of 35 match (over the course of about a year) at Moore's in Stockton. We are both appalling and we finally got to 17 each and a last frame decider.

It went all Taylor/Davis and went to the final black. We spent the next 10 mins hammering the black round the table desperately hoping for a fluke until I finally managed to pot the flamin thing. I started doing all the waggy finger and cue above head Taylor antics...only to watch the white gently drop into the middle pocket. Still stings.
 
I seem to remember mine is 24 which included 3 reds and 3 blacks. I even think I had a relatively easy red to make it 25, but I was already full of adrenaline by that point and obviously missed it!

Such a hard game to play and then you watch the likes of Rocket rattle in century after century without even thinking...

I remember as a kid running downstairs to tell my dad I got a 147. A remarkable feat, I'm sure you agree. Especially as I only had a junior table with ten reds.

😁 reminds me of being about 5 or something and my dad told me a circuit of our house and garden was 1 mile. I was over the moon when I completed a 'marathon' in a little over half an hour, my greatest sporting achievement and completely overlooked by these so-called professional athletes that take 2 hours
 
I think my highest break is 32 and it did not include any red-blacks

Done plenty of 8-balls in pool though
 
I've never potted more than 8 successive scoring balls on a full size snooker table.
I've only done that a few times.
It is such a difficult game.
And I'm really no good.
My eyes have gone now and I wouldn't even try.
I still love a game of pool mind.

A solid 35 here with the last red and black followed by all the colours. 2 doubles on brown and pink then an air of inevitability and invincibility as the black was slammed home. I think I still lost the frame but preferred the glory of a clearance over playing for snookers!

I imagine we have some decent players on this board so let's hear them...

I woukd say about 23, never good at snooker, though TBH Ive only played the game about a dozen times or so & that was at Newport workies club in the late 70's, early 80's
 
If I get a break of more than 2 - that’s 2 consecutive balls - then I’m doing well and it’s because balls are near to the pockets.

I can do pool better than snooker, I think there’s a lot of skill in snooker, the errors in addressing the ball are soon magnified by the size of the table.
 
Used to play a lot of billiards when the Teesside Boys Billiards league was popular. Was pretty good, in the top 8 in the country for my age at one time. Was never as good at snooker even though I played a lot of it, but did manage one century break (120) and plenty in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Haven't played for years now mind.

I can’t believe there are people just casually walking around Teesside like normal people having done century breaks 😮

Ha, what would you have us do? People who didn't know the game that well used to tell me I should look at going pro, reality was I wasn't anything like good enough. The gap was massive between people like me (good) and the people who could do that. I used to play with Jon Birch who did turn pro. He was about 50 times better than me and he was only a low ranked pro in the end. Mike Dunn the same. That being said I did once beat Jimmy White in a one off frame when he did an exhibition at the old Endeavour Snooker Centre.

I was better at billiards, but again not good enough for pro and there's no money in it anyway. I did beat Peter Gilchrist a couple of times in the boys league and he has won the world pro championships a good few times. But that was in a 30 minute match, again he was in a different class to me in reality.
