The term "maximum Break" is a common expression in snooker. The maximum break is the highest in one frame. For example, a player could make a maximum break by potting all 15 reds and all 15 blacks for 120 points. You can also break the maximum by potting all six colours in one frame, which costs 27 points.
Stephen Hendry's number 147
After breaking the record number 147, seven-time World Snooker champion was in the news. He broke in the seventh frame against Stuart Bingham in Sheffield. The world number 1 is now defending his title, and is in line to win another major prize. Hendry doesn't believe that the extra incentive offered by the Crucible's 147 break is worth the risk.
Ronnie O'Sullivan's 147
Ronnie O'Sullivan has made 15 competitive 147 breaks. His first came at the 1997 World Championship in Sheffield's Crucible Theatre. His latest maximum was achieved at the 2018 English Open against Allan Taylor and Elliot Slessor. This is the World Championship's most fast maximum by a male tennis player.
Jimmy White's 147
Jimmy White's 1992 147 break was one of the greatest snooker breaks. The British professional had a fantastic career and was one of the most popular snooker players of all time. He won the UK Championship, Masters and six World Championship finals. Despite his success, he never managed to win The Crucible.
Jimmy White's victory against Tony Drago
Jimmy White's 147 against Tony Draga are considered to be one of the finest billiards shots. It was hit by the former world number one in just three minutes and 31 seconds. It was the fastest century split in a ranking race. Drago is a talented player but is not without faults. His temperament can be erratic and he's had bad play against the rest.
Jimmy White's 147 against Jimmy White
A table tennis record of 147 points is impressive. Jim White, however, was the one to accomplish this feat in 1992. White broke the reds in an early match against Steve Davis. After that, he seemed to be on track for his career-high 147. But, his 10th black was not to be. After kissing off one red, White finally settled on black. This win earned him PS114,000. Drago greeted Drago warmly after the match.
