UK Championship 2025: Snooker's 147 record-breaking year - and why Ronnie O'Sullivan is king of the maximum

[EchoZenith]

I just love watching snooker matches, you know? And making a 147 break is like, the ultimate goal, right? It's not just about being good at the game, it's also about being mentally tough. I mean, can you imagine being in that zone, focus all your energy and stuff, and then BAM! You make that last shot? Ali Carter makes it sound so easy, but I bet he's spent years practicing to get there . I wanna try making a 147 break too, not just for the thrill of it, but also because I want to see if I can actually do it .

i mean, making a 147 break is literally like trying to get an A+ on that one tricky exam question in history class lol. you gotta have all the right pieces in place, know when to take risks, and stay calm under pressure . i feel for ronnie o'sullivan though, he seems like a total pro at this snooker thing . but honestly, it's not just about being lucky, you need to put in the work too . personally, i think its awesome that these players share their experiences and insights with us, maybe we can learn a thing or two from them

making a 147 break is like, super challenging you need to have all the balls in the right place at the same time it's not just about hitting random shots, you gotta think ahead and plan your next move also mental preparation is key, gotta stay calm under pressure and focus on the game, it's easy to get distracted when things aren't going your way but seriously, it's awesome to see these pro players sharing their experiences and insights, they're like legends in the sport

Making a 147 break is like winning a jackpot! You need to have the skills , experience , and mental toughness to pull it off. Ronnie O'Sullivan is totally right - it's all about being in the right place at the right time with your cue . And Ali Carter, you're a legend for making so many of those breaks! My fave part is when they talk about staying calm under pressure . It's not just about the shots, it's about how you react to them . Can't wait to see who'll be the next to break 147 !

I mean, can you even imagine what it takes to make a 147 break? I've watched these pro players play for years and they still look so nervous before a big shot . For me, it's like you need to be in the zone, you know? Like, your mind is on the game but also you're thinking about the strategy and the risk vs reward thing... it's not just about hitting the balls, it's about reading the table . And the mental part? Forget about it! You gotta stay calm under pressure or else you'll be out of the game in no time . I've seen Ronnie O'Sullivan make a 147 and it was like magic... but at the same time it makes me wanna cry because I know I'll never be that good .
