I could be a snooker commentator too: - "What a shot!" - "And he's potted it!" - "What a shot that was..." - "Unbelievable!"

the "what a shot" of the commentator is pure poetry

How calm they are after the shots…think we don’t wanna see what they play at home without any pressure. So much perfection…

Jimmy White and Jud Trump with their extreme top spin shots did it for me. Absolutely unbelievable 😀 Miss seeing and hearing Willie Thorne in the commentators box. Sadly missed but not forgotten. Rest in peace my friend x

I never realised Stephen Hendry had so much humility. And I certainly didn’t realise that he’d be the best snooker commentator of all time.

That shot from Stephen Maguire against Neil Robertson I don't think we'll ever see again. Mark Williams's creativity never ceases to amaze as well.

The white pink was like something out ot eh matrix

Alex Higgins' ridiculous shot on the blue playing against Jimmy White is arguably the greatest shot ever made in professional snooker. He went on to win that frame and the match in the final frame with a 16-15 victory, followed by a victory over the legendary Ray Reardon in the final (who had previously beaten Higgins in the 1976 World Championship). That was the 1982 World Championship.

When shots are so good you treat yourself to a pint for just watching

Most snooker shots, as in many sports, are foreseeable with a little knowledge and experience of the contest. Shaun Murphy's unbelievable pot - the very first of this video - was imagination of a professional competitor in true world class. Completely refreshing, whether you've watched snooker all your life, or simply have the character to recognise sporting brilliance - when you witness it. A moment of sheer, improvised magic.

Peter Ebdon in a highlight reel. Never thought I'd see the day.

Seeing luca brecel in this video made me smile.... such a talented player since such a young age.

5:44 straight on the hole. Crazy hard shot.

Some of the control these players are getting off the cue ball is absolutely mesmerising, anyone who has played snooker will tell you just how difficult a skill that is.....

Mark Williams is a very insane player he plays shots u can't even dream of

This is a top vid and definitely the best choices of shot I've ever seen in a snooker video. The maker is obviously a proper player to realise the level of difficulty for the ones included. Great stuff!

1:48 seriously? One of the 50 greatest shots ever? These kind of shots appear every second game.

To be fair, there were a couple of straight long pots in there, that weren't that amazing that they belong on a list like this. But I'm so glad those legendary Jimmy White shots made it on the list. Took a while to get to them, but they belong to the most amazing snooker shots ever. Wouldn't have minded to have seen Steve Davis and Paul Hunter in there. They played some amazing snooker.

When Jimmy potted the pink and suddenly the que ball stopped dead, it was like magic

Look at the good sportsmanship of these players. Everyone just happy to witness the greatness of each other. I know no other sport like that. Even a Renegade like O'Sullivan cannot produce any long lasting drama that robbs the focus from these athlets.

Alex Higgins, Jimmy White and Judd Trump are the three greatest cue wizards in snooker history, imo.

15:45 is the best of the best 😂🎉

Kyren Wilson's applause for Dave Gilbert's shot says good things about both of them. Bravo tutti

Fantastic shots.... Alex H at 14 mins or so was the one I was thinking about when I played this video. I remember watching it live because AH was under massive pressure to get to the final. Miss that blue and it was probably curtains. God; I am old.

Respect 👏👏👏👏 Great to see some of the old greats in there.

The magnificence of a shot can also be judged by whether other pros are able to replicate it. Id say that Alex Higgins' prodigious blue on the old slow tables is the most unreproducible shot here, and there are several amazing ones.

Jimmy White's exhibition shots make me laugh out loud

Jimmy White started an era.

The shot by The Whirlwind where the white reverses back was incredible, the fact that The Rocket couldn’t replicate it just goes to show.

I hadn't seen that Jimmy White pink in ages.. All of the other shots are great, important or genius, but that one still has the quality to make me wonder what's wrong with the tv (then) or wifi (now). Magic!

The opponent’s face at 0:15 😂😂 he couldn’t believe it

8:24 for the title screen shot

All of them are wizards.

Loved this. Thank you. Plenty from Trump. Loads from Williams unsurprisingly. That ‘no look’ escape/pot was ludicrous. Kirk Stevens shot on the green as part of 147 but then Selby’s final black for a maximum too! So many others 🙂

Great compilation! Only shot I would also argue was worthy was Neil Robertson's long pot of the red with the cue-ball cannoning into another red to clear the path for the black.

The more I see O'Sullivan the more convinced I am that Mr. Bean picked up snooker

14:08 is the best shot of all time! And the way he comes down for the red after and pots that too at "hurricane speed" to the top right is incredible.

Brilliant compilation. Thanks for the replays, some of those shots happen so fast that I missed some of the action with the first viewing.

There has to be some amazing Snooker angels in heaven looking down watching these matches.

Used to enjoy the commentary of TV's Pot Black in the 70s as a kid. I used to get confused if I didn't pay attention; we had a black and white telly.

That first shot from Murphy I actually practiced after seeing and was able to do in a pool game to make it.

Amazing selection, makes it very hard to pick a favorite. I am not an expert, in fact never dared to touch a snooker table -& don't think I would ever will- however, my limited practice with billiard allowed me to appreciate and enjoy each one of these magnificent shots . The one before last is the one that made me pick up my jaw off the floor. The way he made the cue ball came to a complete stop after such a powerful shot over such short distance is ridicules. Is as if he shot a magnetic ball on a copper surface!

I can only say INCREDIBLE . Out of this world unbelievable

Mark Williams shot without even looking is a class act from a master❤

1:58 When a snooker audience turns into a rap battle crowd, you know you did good

Take a drink every time someone says "what a shot" you'll be under the table 🤣

gods, i cant wait for the snooker season to go on in a few days.. i love this sport. :)

I was thinking how could this list not feature Ronnie's cannon in famous 147, and than it came in the last. What a compilation, Hats off sir

So many of these shots are amazing but the context of the frame or match is what makes the great ones great. An exhibition shot when the frame is out of sight or the other guy needs 3 snookers are brilliant to watch but the truly great shots are the genuinely brave ones when the frame is still live.

I remember watching that Kirk Stevens 147 live, amazing stuff

Отличная подборка!

The stephen lee shot is still one of the coolest things i have ever seen in sport highlights.

There are Really amazing shots ever.

Jimmy white real gem

Nice collection. Thanks for putting it up.

A few of these are seen daily at my local hall and I'm stunned that they made this list. Most are beautiful, and some are absolutely momentous.

7:00 they blurred the cigarette

I'll admit I don't get why some of these shots are here. There's a couple where it's just a simple corner pocket shot...

brilliant compilation. jimmy the king. rip willie thorne ❤

2:01 that has got to be one of the shots of the match doesn't it? Indeed my friend, indeed

im not interested in this sport but some of these shots were truly amazing. i love it everytime athletics use physic to do beatuiful stuff

Robertson's face is priceless.

12:46 - that shot (for me) is the best. Pure technique, and purely intended to definition first time. I like that way even Ronnie couldn’t come close to replicate it, and he’s the best player of his generation!

Ronnie's cue ball control is the stuff of legends.

El tiro de Peter ebdon es el más comprometido(el más importante) de todos estos tiros porque si no metía esa rosa dejaba la mesa lista para que Stevens limpiará la mesa y llegar a esa final

I really believe for a second that Ronnie was Mr. Bean! What a shot!!!

I grew up watching Alex Higgins and Jimmy (James) White, two great players, I named my youngest son Alex James, in my opinion these two players were pioneers of entertainment and skill that brought the game to new audiences. There are many great players out there but for me Alex Higgins, Jimmy White, Ronnie O" Sullivan and Judd Trump are up there for pure skill and entertainment. :)

Fantastic compilation but you missed Vafaei's magic corner shot blocked by the black, I still can't work that one out!

3:08 my favorite because that's actually not as easy as it seems

What in the unexplained myseteries happend at 15:35. That cueball control was out of this world. Also williams shot around the 3min mark where he wasnt even looking just proves how amazing he is.

A perfect video for a Friday night - you drink a shot every time they say "what a shot"

I like this collection of amazing shots by Stevens, Trump, Selby, Murphy, Bingham, O'Sullivan and many more excellent snooker players.

I have watched thousands of top quality snooker shots over the years. IMO the unfashionable Peter Edbon's pink ball was THE GREATEST SHOT EVER IN THE HISTORY OF SNOOKER, because of the context. Semi-final of the World Championships, if he missed he was out of the tournament. This shot inspired him to comeback and win the match against the odds and then do exactly the same in the final in the deciding frame against Stephen Hendry, one of the all time greats and become World Champion! Peter Ebdon, often gets slated by SOME of the snooker world for being a slow and deliberate player, but he was someone who did not have the natural talent of say a Jimmy White, however, he absolutely maximised his potential with his incredible attitude and application. He left the game of snooker not only being able to say "I won the world title" but also being able to say "I once played probably the best shot in the history of the game!". Well done Peter Ebdon!

These guys make it seem like I could play snooker.

That cue ball stopped dead and then the next shot was equally nuts haha.

Real funny was to see Ronnie trying to make Jimis Shot again

What top tier specimens of what human men should be. Absolutely unbelievable.

Let’s be honest, Mark Williams no look green should be way higher.

Great video, just missing Ronnies left handed deep screw hahaha

0:39 You can see his thoughts: " Did he really plan that?" :D

Never knew Mr Bean played pool @4:20

The first one is really really amazing

All are very very good. But 3:08 is just amazing

"He deserved a little kiss on the brown there" 😂

Alex Higgins is a once in a lifetime miracle.

The Snooker Nights in the 90s , i miss it

Some utterly ridiculous stuff. Brilliant and baffling in equal measure. Those of us who have a go now and then at playing the game know how hard it is to even do the basics, then you see things like this and wonder why you bother 😆

It makes no odds who your favourite player is, you have to give all these lads credit for being amazing. 👍👍

The first shot is elegant and cool.

'deserved a little kiss on the brown'...that made me laugh way too much hahah

That Judd Trump shot was straight out of the Alex Higgins playbook. Incredible stuff.

I played at the same snooker club as Shaun he was a bit loud but by George has he come on well presents himself extremely well a true gentleman good luck in the years ahead

I've no idea what I'm watching, but it's highly entertaining and highly impressive.

3:10 how accurate you want to be? this man: yesss

Every Shot is👌

When Ronnie drops his chalk u know he's played a great shot 😆

Ok... I just got stuck on a loop of replaying the very FIRST shot of the video 🤯🤯🤯

Excellent video. My favourite ones were the defensives ones: the opening Shaun Murphy and others from Maguire, Bingham and that outrageous reverse blue from Jimmy 'The Whirlwind' White.

THAT is a very good video you made here. Thank you for that!

"what a shot" 😂
