Snooker 155 Break (video) exhibition by Jimmy White
Absolutely sensational exhibition break from the whirlwind. The only 155 break recorded on video by a professional.
Alan Mcmanus watches on as his friend and practice partner exercises his amazing talent.

Ding Junhui's 147s | Chinese Snooker players (147 147's | Ding's Dings)
Ding is an enigma. Arguably one of the most devastating all round players, he has already compiled 2 147s in his career and could have easily had more if it hadn't been for strokes of bad luck.
Ding has yet to prove to the world that he is true great of the game, when he first burst on the scene as a precocious young teenager he was fearless and quickly began to win tournaments. During a disappointment at the Masters against Ronnie O' Sullivan Ding fell into the category of players that allow their mentality to affect their performance.
Ding is still a major force to be reckoned with and showed this with performances at the premier league where he maintained a near perfect pot success of 99%.
Snooker fans will have to hope that Ding's advisers can improve his mental approach to the game.
Without further ado here are Dings amazing maximum breaks.

Rundown of Crucible 147's (whats your list of top crucible 147s?)
(9) Ronnie O’Sullivan vs Marco Fu, World Championships, Crucible, Sheffield, 2003.
The least well known 147 of the cruible perhaps being down to the fact that Ronnie lost the match therefore the emphasis was on the Fu upset rather than the 147. However, like any 147 at the crucible this one was just as special as the rest and certainly gave the crowd a short lived but lasting impression of Ronnie in that championship.

(8) Ali Carter 147 vs Ebdon- World Championships 2008 .
After Ronnies sublime 147 just days before the scene was set for some extraordinary goings on first Peter Ebdon narrowly squanders a 147 of his own but in the very next frame carter makes snooker history by making the second 147 in one year at the crucible the first being O sullivan and his spellbinding effort against Williams. This was without a doubt one of the greatest world championships of all time not just for the 147's but also the exciting 10-9 first rounds like Swail Liang and the thrilling upsets such as Perry beating Maguire all of these great moments captured the imagination of Sheffield.

(7) 147 by Stephen Hendry in 1995 World snooker Championship
During the 90's hendry reinvented snooker with attacking snooker and a positive approach to the game that really has to be admired, contrasting to the conservative snooker of the 70's and 80's. This 147 shows Hendry's great resolve and ice cool composure there are some moments in this break where the less strong willed would certainly falter.
(6) 147 break by Jimmy White vs. Tony Drago - 1992 crucible
Two highly talented players White and Drago go into battle. This is one of White's good memories from the crucible as he puts together a faultless 147 displaying his great flair, talent and explosive play.
(5) Stephen Hendry 147 World Championship vs Murphy 2009
Regrettably for Hendry this 147 came at the wrong time already leading 4-2 this break completely disrupted his focus when in the next frame he missed an easy red to let Murphy back in the match when could so easily have gone into a substantial 6-2 lead. Nevertheless the maximum was composed with great skill and will remains as one of the greatest 147s of all time.
(4) Mark Williams 147 vs Robert Milkins 2005
Renowned as one of the greatest single ball potters of them all Mark certainly shows all those qualities in this break. Typically 147s go wrong when the player runs out of position and leaves a thin black or an impossible angle on the red to get back to black. Mark has these hurdles several times during the break but does he falter? No this is certainly not the greatest break for a purist but as far as bottle nerve and extraordinary shot making under pressure this is as good as it gets.
(3) Snooker: 147 by Cliff Thorburn in 1983
This for me is without a doubt the most dramatic 147 of them all not only was it the first 147 at the crucible the atmosphere was at a knife edge and at no stage in the break was anyone convinced he would hold his nerve. However, he did and today remains the most gutsy break i have ever seen.
(2) Ronnie O'Sullivan 147 at the 2008 Snooker World ...
Ronnie again here. This one although a lot slower is arguably technically better than the former. The opening red and the split on the cluster later on are spine tingling for any snooker enthusiasts and this remains as the second 147 in a deciding frame at the crucible ironically the other being Williams!
(1) Ronnie "The Rocket" O'Sullivan fastest 147
Arguably one of the best moments in snooker history, Ronnie a precocious talent that many knew would only be a matter of time before he won his first world title. It was not until 2001 where he finally proved he was not just a glorious break builder but one of the games greats as well.
