Snooker Best Shots Of The Season 2024 Recreated

with the World Championships being over we can look back at every single tournament played this year and work out which is the best shot of the entire season it's there and we're going to be doing that by recreating all of the shots as accurately as possible before playing them in the fewest possible attempts but who better to start with than Jud Trump who's played so many shots on this list here he manages to pot a long blue and spin the cube ball around two cushions to remove the pink from the cushion this was just an exhibition shot but he played it incredibly well even the pot itself is difficult and I was quite happy to get it on my first attempt but unfortunately the black just got slightly in the way this could be a genuine Contender so I'm delighted to get it so quickly even if I did hit it a bit hard well as that's gone better than expected I think I'm ready to try another challenging shot this time from Mark Allen are the snooker World Masters of the world snooker Masters either way he pots the red off the black here to secure the frame not only that screws the cube ball safe back into bulk I'm going to have to be really accurate with this one to hit a thin Slither of the black and that's what makes this shot so difficult if the red was even slightly closer to the center of the table I'd be able to hit it into the black thicker making the shot a lot easier here I'm having to hit it thin and that's made it a little bit tough but I've got it in the end though in the championship league which I'm pretty confident coun as this season rather than last season cup Pang screws in this tough long BW down the cushion and gets the white back behind the black and out for the pink in the middle pocket he was doing so while tying again to all with Jad Trump so once again the frame was already over but don't count this one out because as I'm discovering it needs insanely good queuing not only do you have to pot this down the rail which is an incredibly tough shot you've got to play at enough speed to get the Cubo all the way back to the top cushion and back another couple foot but I don't have time to worry about that at the moment because I'm still trying to just pot the blue at this speed honestly I think this one could be a contender if I ever manag to pot it I know I'm moving around a little bit too much but I can't do anything to help it I'm just hoping when I finally pot the blue like that I go the right side of the black it hasn't quite happened but I have to stop now cuz I don't think I'm ever going to pot it again the look at that this next shot has Rono Sullivan potting a nice long green with left hand side to spin the cube around the cushions and bring a red away from the cushion this needs a really precise shot to get in behind the red I can remember from when I played this shot at the time that it's incredibly easy to put too much side spin on the cuq ball so here I'm trying to cut it back a bit and I see to be just overdoing it as I'm not quite hitting the red on the right side I only need a fraction more left hand side to get in behind the red but I can't just seem to add a tiny bit more I've put a little bit more on it than this one but it's a little bit too much I can't make that small adjustment so I'm getting close but it's not quite happening for a second and now I'm struggling to pot the green which is unsurprising because it's actually quite a difficult pot and thought I was doing quite well to start off with getting it so many times in a row I finally got the shot not to the right pocket but I got him behind it so that's pretty much good enough it was out the international championships where gonen Z picked out this incredibly tough red down the cushion this is probably one of the most difficult pots I've had to play all year and I'm not too sure how confident I'm going to be at getting it again similar to the C Pang shot I just need to hit it in the right direction and hope for the best again this definitely could be a contender I'm just shocked it's gone in so quickly more luck than judgment I [Music] think next Gary Wilson is getting off to a great start in his match against Rono Sullivan by potting this pink and then flicking the Blacky kns down the cushion into an unmissable position over the corner pocket Gary obviously wins this Frame but eventually goes on to lose the match this one definitely deserves our attention because of the crucial time it took place in the first frame and as you can see for my first few attempts it's not as easy as Gary made it look I'm getting really close to the black here but I just can't make the cannon I finally got it and I've knocked it into a potable position digging down at the cubble now is Barry Hawkins who has this massive swerve to try and get round the brown and hit the red that's over the corner pocket he was more forced into this shot than anything else but he plays it excellently even if he doesn't finish in position on a color compared with my table it's a lot harder to Swerve the cuq bable like this on an ultra fine match cloth here you can see I'm easily able to over swerve it which wouldn't be true on a professional table and considering that I would have thought I would have got this one already probably took me a little bit too long Dylan emer's picking up the pieces now after an unfortunate foul gives him this opportunity to pot the green and bring the brown away from the cushion you've got to hit the brown perfectly on this shot to knock it towards the corner pocket but he couldn't have played it any better but it's also a really good pot and from this distance I'm just finding it a little bit missable and that's why I can't quite get the green in the pocket and even when I do there I've nudged the brown away from the cushion rather than along it it's actually not guaranteed that you're going to push the brown anywhere near the pocket if you get the cannon so it needs to be really precisely played and you've actually got to play it with a lot less Back Spin than you'd think I've got it in the end and I'm pretty happy with it Stuart Bingham with another great shot from the championship league now after being nearly snookered on every single ball on the table he can just about see enough of this red to pot it and he manages not only to get the CU ball back safe but knock it clean down the rail into the Cor Corner because the Red's close to the cushion I'm using right hand side as well as Back Spin to get it back down the table which meant the pot could have taken forever to go in but again I think I've got fairly lucky and it's in already although I haven't quite come back far enough ding's only chance of winning the frame is if he can pot this red and somehow get the cube ball down onto the black using a lot of Top Spin he managed is to do it he can't get back onto the yellow but does eventually go on to win the match this is one of the ones that isn't so easy on my table there was no way I should have gone in off and I'm not sure how the red jumped out the pocket there but I'm starting to get the right idea on how to play this and I finally got it right and spun down for the black didn't get the cube W to Arc as much as I wanted [Music] though Rono saliva must have thought he had the black completely safe here but Luca brell had other ideas doubling it into the yellow pocket which looks completely impossible because there doesn't seem to be the angle there to avoid the double kiss and after my first few attempts I'm actually convinced the angle isn't there because I keep double kissing or playing the black so wide that it hasn't got any chance of going anywhere near the pocket however on my fourth attempt I finally played it the other side which I didn't think was even going to be possible so I now know the angle is on if I play it correctly but I do really need to get into the Cub well thankfully I've done that and we can move [Music] on Wow award time now and with 40% of the vote you chose this shot from John Higgins as a shot of the world championships as it was so significant in the way it allowed him to clear up and win the match and I'll be presenting John with this award personally whenever I actually leave the shed oh what was that although this shot was really significant in theory it shouldn't be too difficult to play so I'm a little bit disappointed that I missed my first attempt although I seem to get it on my second so which of these was the cheekiest double in terms of cheeky doubles both of these shots are about as good as they come so both receive five however I'm saying John Higgins is this season's winner because his won him the match and Lucas [Music] didn't it's time now to mirror flip the screen okay let's never do that again but this next Jud Trump shot can't be played right-handed as he pots the yellow spins the cuq perfectly around two cushions to flick the red over the middle pocket this was described early on as one of the best shots of the season so having had a little bit of practice let's see if I can get it right a little bit quicker this time this is definitely an incredibly tough shot to judge but because I've been able to see the overhead shot of it this time I think I've got the balls in a slightly more accurate position that's allowed me to see the right angle a little bit better I just slightly under hit that one but I was on the perfect line so if I can repeat that just a tiny bit harder I'll be okay and I think I've got with it with this one and knocked it nicely over the [Music] [Applause] pocket Steven MaGuire's in a lot of trouble now 5-2 behind and he can't see the simple red across the table so he takes on this long pot which is a bit of a Do or Die shot he gets it and ends up winning the frame although as he's so far behind in frames already ends up losing the match by the looks of it it was frustration more than anything else and he looked like he'd had enough with it by this point but it did allow him to go on and win the frame so let's see if I can get anywhere near it and I have although I haven't really queued it anywhere near well [Music] enough how about this for a cut from Tom Ford now yeah the props are a bit much aren't they let's get let's go right Tom Ford man manag just to cut this red in he's already won the frame but it does help him go on to make a senty break at the tour championships he ends up losing this match 109 but to the eventual winner Mark Williams this was a great match and it shows just how well Tom was competing I don't think I had the balls in the right place the first time the red was a little bit close I got it right after that but I'm really happy to get it just after three attempts [Music] [Applause] Mark sel's tighten behind the blue at the Welsh open and a long way behind in the frame he needs a decent escape from this one otherwise he's going to lose it but he manages to rest up tight to the red after playing The Escape of five cushions once again with a snooker Escape I can just try to hit the same point on the cushion that Mark did and see what happens as it turned out I went a little bit wide and hit it a bit too hard so let's see if I can make the correction with this shot and it seems like I have leaving absolutely nothing on another Jud Trump shot that I'm going to have to mirror flip now as Jud manages to pot this yellow screw the QQ ball along the bolt cushion and put so much Sid spin on the ball he open opens the Reds up I'm not even sure I'm going to be able to play this right-handed so I would have absolutely no chance left-handed this is yet another unbelievably difficult shot I'm trying to get as close to the brown as I possibly can but even doing that I Can't Get Enough side spin on the cuq B to open the Reds the thing I need to do is put more s spin on the cuq ball and I've just about done it here I've put as much as I possibly can and got into the Reds and finished in [Music] position next up Michael White's getting a bit of a hammering all right the props definitely didn't work did they okay never mind either way Jud trumps 5 n in front and played a really good safety shot here not leaving Michael any real shot to go at but he still manages to scream the red down the cushion despite this he still loses the frame and ends up losing the Match 6 n so in the BR scheme of things this doesn't really matter which is a shame because I've somehow managed to nail it first time as it turns out ding Jun we's actually got quite a lot of Q power on him and despite this red being as far down as The Pink Spot he manages to screw the Cube all the way back into bulk I'm really going to have to strike this well if I'm going to get it anywhere near that far and after my first few attempts that really isn't going very well as I can't seem to get anywhere near the pocket here in theory this is a lot more straightforward than my last shot but I keep getting it wrong I've potted the red there but unfortunately I've screwed back into the blue so I've got to try again because that's not getting it anywhere near right but that does mean potting it again for some reason my Q actions deserted me here I finally got it and missed the blue but also the cannon on the yellow though thankfully I avoided the in off at the same [Music] time Mark Williams has landed right up against a red whilst making a comeback against Rono Sullivan despite this he still manages to pop the red into the middle pocket and get the resulting black winning in the frame and eventually going on to take the tour championships final I'm pretty good at this type of shot but I'm still happy to get it first [Music] time before the next Mark Selby shot we just got to find San Diego Benitas who's from Eagle Pass in Texas which is there it's crazy to think what Mark Selby actually did here here as Ron O Sullivan was on a 16 match winning streak before running into Mark who pots this long red cannons the black into a potable position and goes on to take a 3-0 lead which would eventually turn into a 6-n whitewash the match had a very unusual backdrop to it as Mark Selby seemed to be struggling at this point in the season and Ronnie looked NY on unbeatable despite this though it went completely the opposite way to which everybody thought and this shot was a big part of it and just to prove how difficult it is I can't get anywhere near it and also I can't get anywhere near it it's getting annoying because it's a fairly straightforward shot to pop the red and I'm glad I finally got it and just about got the cannon for the [Music] black this shot from Jud Trump at the northern isand open was similar to one he played before at the World Championships a few years ago either way I'm going to have to be super accurate in potting this ball as I've got to play almost full power to screw the cube all back into bulk this one looks like another genuine Contender and pretty similar to a number of shots I played already today down the cushion and screwing the cube B back I'm only getting it though by putting it off another red and unlike a few shots I've played already it hasn't gone in quickly with these types of shot you do need a lot of luck because you simply can't be accurate enough to pot it even if you line it up absolutely perfectly you'll probably get it one in three if you do but I don't think I'm getting enough of them close enough to the pocket to be fortunate enough if I was getting closer I think I'd have more of a chance and I'm glad I've left this one to the end as it's one of the hardest shots and I simply can't get it right if I was doing this to start off with it would completely have slapped any morale I had and would probably meant it was a lot harder to get any of the latest shots and I've gone and miscued so I can't get anywhere near it and every now and again I'm miscuing and thankfully it's finally gone in I didn't think I was ever going to get that once again this week I'm allowing you to vote for the winner just follow the link down in the description and look out
