Snooker Best Shots Tour Championship 2024 Recreated

got to be careful of a push a shot here as well oh look at this for shot look at this for a shot this week I've been searching for the most significant shots from the tour championships in Manchester but as usual we're looking for the best shot so to find it we're going to be recreating all of them as accurately as possible before playing them in the fewest possible attempts but we're beginning with Tom Ford who's really competing well against an inform Mark Williams after Cannon's gone wrong and he has to cut the red back the length of the table not only does he get this he goes on to make his second century of the match a 136 although this is just a good pot the angle makes it awkward and the fact that the Cubo right underneath the cushion makes it tricky to judge where you're striking on the object ball I got very close with my second attempt but repeating this is becoming a little bit of a problem it feels like I'm hitting the red in the right direction but I can't really tell exactly where it's going I think five attempts for this one though is pretty [Music] good well I got there in the end and because he was playing like that Tom forb was able to battle back to nine frames all and take a 54-point lead in the decider before giving Mark Williams this chance which looked like breaking down when Mark was on nine before he took on this massively important green that allowed him to keep the brake going and make a ridiculous clearance with five Reds on the cushion at one stage although I've come way too far across the table with this one I would have taken it if I just ended up on a red but everything was blocking each other on that shot so I've got to try again I need to reduce the amount of left hand side I'm putting on the cuq to get the white in the right place I've still slightly overdone it on this one come the wrong side of the red but I'm in good position [Music] Mark Allen has got John Higgins in such a tough snooker he can't even swerve the cube to the cushion and has to play it off both jaws and hope for the best despite this he manages to land in the pack of Reds and get the cuq ball relatively safe not really leaving anything easy on it may look easy but after my first two attempts you can sort of see how difficult it is to judge the right angle out of the Jaws I couldn't really tell exactly where this one was going and the last two shots have felt roughly the same to me however I finally got one that's going roughly in the right direction it just nicked the red on the way through but it's buried safe in the [Music] Reds however it was Mark Allen who won this first round match match 107 in the endend and this long pot gave him a great chance in the fifth frame although he didn't specifically win this Frame because he was already too far behind to be honest I thought I got that one and it's especially annoying because I got the cannon right as well and I've just slightly overcut my next one I need to just find that lighter little Gap where it's going to work and I've just about got it right I need to get some chalk on the Queue because it's time for our standard Mark Selby long red screwing back into bulk that he plays in almost every tournament and the first round against Gary Wilson was no different in the tours championships as you can tell my first attempt was actually quite a long way out but that's probably because I'm trying to do this with a regular QQ ball meaning I have to inject more pace so three attempts is pretty good even if I did hit the brown [Music] but it was Gary Wilson who took an eight frames to six lead and made an excellent start in this Frame poing the long red and controlling the cube ball across the table perfectly for the black I genuinely thought my first attempt was good there I just need to be a little bit more accurate and that's gone in so we can move on to the next shot [Applause] [Music] in the very same frame Mark Selby makes his comeback and pots this excellent long brown to try and make the clearance he doesn't really end up in good position on the blue but gets that anyway and eventually ends up in good enough position on the pink to finish it off however he didn't end up finishing off the match as Gary Wilson ended up winning it 108 it's not the hardest shot but I was still pleased to get it right away Ali Carter wasn't giving Barry Hawkins a chance at the beginning of their first round match here he punches in this long red stunning The Cube through the gap for the black and goes on to win the frame to make it 61 Barry would eventually mount a comeback but allly ended up closing the match out 10 frames to eight as it turns out this is a punch shot rather than a stun shot as I just need to manipulate the angle a bit to get the cube ball through the gap between the red and black I'm getting that right but that's making the pot pretty difficult to line up accurately but I've got it and the Cub's gone nicely through the gap for the [Music] black Ali Carter would take on Ron O Sullivan in the quarterfinals where Ronnie would race to a 9-2 lead and finish the match off with this double and I had to include this one because it was described clearly as I usually find it pretty awkward to double the object ball into the corner pocket like this especially when it's so far up the cushion like it is now and often I'll find I straighten it up a little bit too much and don't give the Red Enough angle and I'm struggling to get that right at the moment although that looks a lot more like it and I've got the white roughly in the right place as well [Music] but up against that we got yet another Rono salivan double he's just played an excellent positional shot that didn't really work out and pushed both Reds to the side cushions but he ends up doubling the red back into the top pocket again and goes on to make a break that wins the frame I've got it on my first attempt but not properly as it went in off the other red but the fact that that shot was on was probably the reason Ronnie played this shot in the way that he did I've just got to try and find the pocket now which wasn't easy but which was the cheekiest double because of the difficulty and significance of both of these shots they each received four however I'm making the second one this week's winner because the frame was still live Mark Williams now faces Jud Trump in the quarterfinals and has taken an early lead although he's a little way behind in this frame but this long red is about to get him right back into it he eventually goes on to win this Frame as well taking a 3-0 lead again this is one that may look simple but you have to be so unbelievably accurate queuing out from underneath the top cushion I was pretty happy this went in after just three attempts but I didn't quite hit it hard [Music] [Applause] enough Mark races away to an 84 lead before missing a black that doesn't appear to have left Jud much of a chance but Jud manages to pot the red off the back of the black and remain in position however he doesn't end up winning the frame and loses the match 104 but this shot looks quite tough so is it honestly no it was a lot simpler than I thought it was going to be and borderline unmissable Mark Allen trying to level at two frames all and he's already 40 points in front when he makes this excellent long red that's at a bit of a weird angle and you've got to dig down off the cushion however he ends up losing the frame when ding makes a 70 break as you can see this is another shot where the angle's really difficult to judge but this one the Red's closer to the cushion meaning I have less pocket to aim at and just making the shot a lot more challenging on top of this I'm digging down at the shot from off the cushion in and I've noticed I must be putting a small amount of unintentional right hand side on the cuq ball because when I hit this shot a little bit too hard it goes to the side cushion and when I play it too slowly it goes to the top cushion because of this I've just got to try and get the pace right that makes it go towards the pocket I'm getting closer as time goes on but I definitely think this is the shot I've had the most trouble with this [Music] video ding remained in front until 887 and this excellent red in the middle pocket gave him a real chance of taking a 97 lead however he ended up losing this frame on a resp spotted black and the next two as well losing the match 10 frames to eight I'm quite a long way away with my first attempt but somehow I've managed to fluke it surely I can't do the same thing twice in a row yep I don't know how that's happened I finally made the correction on my third attempt though though and I've actually got further back down the table than ding did I'm not really sure how that [Music] happened back to the Jud Trump Mark Williams match next for some reason all right who's been messing with the order of my Clips either way Mark pots this excellent red with the rest and cannons the yellow out from the cushion which he's going to need because he's a long way behind and despite this Mark eventually goes on to win this Frame and the match 104 which I'm pretty sure I already said my first attempt wasn't too bad really I just put a little bit too much side on it which seems to be a common theme with me in these shots I've backed it off for my third though and got the Canon about as well as I could [Music] expect on to the semi-finals now and the this one was close as ronio Sullivan 65 in front but ways behind in this Frame but he manages to pop this red down the cushion which is a bit awkward and go on to make a 57 break and win the frame he eventually then won the match 107 against Gary Wilson so it goes without saying this was a good pot to get straight away onto the final now and after leveling one all with Mark Williams Rono Sullivan makes this great start to the third frame however he doesn't get on another red after the blue and Mark Williams wins it with a 91 break again I'm using the regular cuq ball which I've just about got but I've got to throw my entire body at it it didn't quite work on my second attempt I was a little bit surprised I potted it so I've got to try and pot it again and get back further I've managed to do that but still haven't got the cub I'm a little bit short of being able to cut the blue in the middle pocket comfortably so I've got to somehow pot it again and hit it even better despite the fact that I can't really get anywhere near a lot of these shots because I'm throwing so much of my body at it I've just about got far enough on that one it's not really enough but I can comfortably cut the blue in and as that's all Ronnie did I'm just going to stick with that I [Applause] think Ronnie has more success with this next red as it allows him to hold position on the green and make a 102 break this period of play saw Ronnie makes three centuries and go from 31 behind to 53 in front so it's a fairly significant shot and I think if I was just trying to pot this ball rather than stun it i' get it fairly quickly but this seems a bit challenging to me having to pot it at this much angle and play it as a stun shot at the same time but it's a great shot to hold for the green and I've just about got away with it on my [Music] fourth we've got another Mark Williams shot right after we find little Peak who's in laguire Algeria which is there and this Mark William sha is incredibly significant as he's now 5-3 behind in the final and needs to swerve around the pink in order to make the clearance had he judged this shot wrong the frame could have gone the other way and would have completely changed the course of the final and I completely got it wrong on my first attempt not swerving it enough but corrected it for my [Music] second that's got marked back to 54 behind but he still hasn't finished off this Frame as he's run a little bit out of position so this excellent pot in the middle pocket was absolutely crucial as well as a really difficult shot with a cuq ball being that close to the red from here markk didn't lose a single frame in the final session and went on to take the match by 10 frames to five I really like this type of shot so I'm not surprised I got it right [Music] away so to the results I'm giving third place to this long red from Ali Carter not only this this a really wellc shot you've actually got to see it to execute it in the first place second place goes to the Tom Ford shot probably the most difficult shot of the event and it allowed him to continue his break but first place goes to the shot in the middle for Mark Williams had he had turned this down he could have ended up losing the match so this made a big difference our next Recreation videos come from the World Championships so if you want to see what that was like last year these two videos will show you and remember don't
