Snooker Best Shots Exhibition Shots 2024 Recreated

this type of exhibition shot is often overlooked because apart from a few rare exceptions they tend to happen after the frame is over but which of these was the best exhibition shot of the year to find out as usual we're recreating all of the shots as accurately as possible and then playing them in the fewest possible attempts and we're starting with Rono Sullivan in China and like with a lot of these shots the frame's already over but that doesn't mean potting this pink and screwing back for the black is easy far from it in fact I'm going to have to cue this one really well to generate enough Back Spin to get anywhere near the Black and play it with a lot of power and that's going to make the pot even harder this is a difficult shot to start off with and although I managed to fluke it there I'm struggling to get close enough to actually pot it this shot could be a real Contender and don't forget you get the chance to vote for the winner later on and as I've just about managed to rattle in the pink and get roughly in position on the black we can move [Music] on well that was a tough start but it doesn't exactly get any easier now as we're onto a Jud Trump shop where the pot may be straightforward but we' got to navigate the cuq ball all the way around the table narrowly avoiding the pink not only I got to avoid this but I've also got to find a way to hit it hard enough which isn't going to be exactly easy on my table what I've discovered from my first attempt is power is going to be a problem I haven't hit it anywhere near hard enough on my first go my second go is a lot better and I probably would have gotten the yellow had I got the line right but I just need to find the line as well and that means getting very close to this left corner pocket I've got to judge the side spin perfectly here and I'm just not quite putting enough right hand side on the QQ ball at the moment which means I keep hitting the pink however now I've just avoided it I'm down on the yellow I don't think I can hit it any harder though it looks as though Jos V dropped out of position a little bit of the British Open as he's landed on top of the green but despite this he still manages to pop the pink not only that playing it with Back Spin on left hand side to spin it around two cushions and remove the last Red from the cushion this is not only going to require a good pot but I've got to control the spin here and that's not going to be easy and what I've discovered from my first two attempts is you can't simply play this with left hand side you also need to stun it a little bit and that just makes it a little bit harder to line the shot up and guess the right angle and it means I'm struggling to pop the Ping again but I finally got it and now I'm getting really close to the red I've just got to find a way of repeating that at the right line and this is pretty good I've not pushed it on the same way but that's not [Music] bad next up is long xang who looks far too close to the red to be able to pot it but not only does he manage to cut it in the middle pocket he plays it with so much power the white comes back flying across the table this happens and it's not obvious because it happens at so much speed because he hits the middle jaw so I'm trying to do that at the same time as Pop the red and I've got it but mostly because I managed to line everything up right in the first place onto KN on senam who's got two Reds safe against a side cushion but manages to remove them off the green this is a really precise shot and I'll have to get really close to the blue in order to make the cannon here and to do that I'm using a small amount of right hand side and back spin but I've just realized that the right hand side isn't helping me because that's narrowing the angle that I've got to hit the red so means I've got to get closer to the blue in order to get it right and if I can finally pop this green and just play as a regular stun shot I've got a good chance of getting it and I have and I'm just about in position on the red looking for [Music] aot we got to be quick with this next one because it's at the shootout and Oliver lines needs to pot this long red to stay in the tournament and score a further 12 points despite potting this long red and the following black unfortunately he rests up against the pink which means he ends up losing the match to Mark Allen who goes on to win the tournament himself digging down like this the shot requires a huge amount of accuracy but I am getting closer and I've managed to pot it a lot quicker than I expected really this next shot from Jud trumps actually a little bit risky because the frame hadn't yet been won despite this he pots the brown and screws the cuq down the table between the pink and black and gets back for the red which he needs to win the match although he was probably feeling fairly confident with this one being 2 N up already got the perfect line on my first shot here but I don't think my table is fast enough even though I'm perfectly on the red this is about as hard as I can hit [Music] it effectively Mark Allen's just potting the black here but I was really impressed with the amount of Top Spin he was able to get on the cuq B which ends up spinning it into the middle pocket I was wondering if I was able to do the same thing although it's going to take a few shots to get anywhere near the middle presumably and I just think Mark was trying to get a lot of Top Spin on the QQ ball not necessarily going off so I need to get a little bit lucky and get the Top Spin right and somehow that's all happened at once [Music] good over in China Mark Selby just goes for the straight double with the last black here and it goes straight into the yellow pocket there's not too much to this it's just a very accurate shot so how accurately can I play it that was close in fact I can't believe it didn't go in I've got to try playing the same shot again and because there's a little hole in my black sport it made it jump the third time though was good way back in the English open right at the beginning of the Season Jud trumps run out of position on the yellow so he simply doubles it the length of the table this is an impressive shot and the fact that the Cann on the brown drops him nicely on the green looks good as well judging the angle for this double is definitely a lot harder but I'm getting pretty close already so surely it's only a matter of time unless I play the shot like that before I get one of these right however they just don't seem to be dropping in for some reason with this one all I can really do is have a bit of a guess at where the pocket is is and hopefully I'm lucky enough to get away with it but which of these was the cheekiest double cue the music Mark shot's good but pretty basic so it only gets two whereas judge shot has a lot more attitude so it gets four and is this week's winner Luca brell's red here is actually pretty straightforward but because it's straight position is actually going to be a bit of a problem that is unless you can screw back back the whole length of the table even using the Magic Cube I doubt I can get back this far but I'm willing to give it a try and the first thing I'm going to have to do is hit it straight enough just because the Red's over the pocket here doesn't necessarily mean I'm guaranteed to hit it in a straight line and that's what I got to do if I want it to work although I definitely should be potting this one and I finally have and I've hit it about as well as I possibly can and that's as far as I can make it screw back [Music] this exhibition shot from Jud Trump is becoming a bit of a classic where you pop the pink into the middle pocket and spin the cube around seven cushions to get back on the black understandably on my table that isn't anywhere near as fast as what you see on TV it's going to be a little bit of a problem because even if I hit it absolutely perfectly at full power it's not guaranteed to get get anywhere near back to the black because of all of that for me on this table it's one of the hardest shots I've got to play I've got to absolutely power the pink in the middle pocket hopefully it stays in and somehow avoid all the Jaws hitting it hard enough and I should point out of this time unfortunately I had a little bit of a cold this week and that's why I sound a little bit terrible but hopefully it's not getting in the way too much I finally got the shot about as hard as I could possibly play it but I'm only back to the side cushion although I have managed to pot it from here and nearly played the Mark Allen shot again an interesting one from Shaw Murphy now because I don't think I've ever seen anybody get on the yellow in quite this way before and it's going to be interesting to see if I can hit the first side cushion the second side cushion and then have enough speed of the bulk cushion to get out past the bulk line this might be a problem as you've just seen because I'm having to deal with a tiny divot in my black spot which means it causes the black to jump up in the air a little bit when I hit it hard I've got to hit it really hard to do this but I've also got it hit it really hard to play this shot and that's why the black keeps jumping off the table I'm not sure if I can hit it hard enough and keep the black in the pocket but I've done that and just crep past the bulk line [Music] we've got another Rono Sullivan shop coming up right after we find Jacob who's from Rockford Illinois which is there despite being a long way out of position on the pink Rono Sullivan still manages to pot it and find a way around the table that gets him back to the black it looks like I'm going to have to get the cuq incredibly close to the corner pocket here in order to get the right angle Le my first attempt on this shot looks pretty good although I haven't quite got close enough to that corner pocket which meant I've just dropped the wrong side of the black it was perfect in position but I'm trying to get on the other side so I'm going to have to try again and I'm struggling to get any closer to the corner pocket which is going to allow me to have the right angle to get the right side of the black but at the same time I'm probably also going to have to hit this shot a little bit harder than I have before I think I've just about got it right with this one and in fact yes I have just dropped on the [Music] plaque back in the British Open Robbie Williams was able to completely dismantle John Higgins and during that match he played a lot of good shots the best of which was probably this one where he pots the Brown and dislodges the red away from the black the cannon goes absolutely perfectly but it's a really good pot and a really good shot to get anywhere near the cannon even though my first attempt made it look like a natural angle unfortunately I Cannon the black in the way of the red so I'm going to have to try it again and although I potted the brown on my second attempt as well I've ended up coming Way Too Thin down the table and got nowhere near the red so I'm going to have to put this brown again and try and find a better line or at least a line that gets me a cannon that opens up the red and black this looks a little bit better but unfortunately I'm just a tiny bit wide over this amount of distance you can't really judge this accurately but I think I've got this one and I'm in position on the red [Music] once again this week I'm
