Painting showing the shots of a frame

[Krøyer]

Hi everybody!

I recall, some time ago, watching a tournament, with a bit of off-topic material during the breaks.

At some point they showed some kind of painting someone had made by having painted the table, with the view-angle above the table, and then drawn the lines from the balls as the frame developed. So in the end the painting showed every shot from a certain frame.

From my horrible explanation, would any of you know what painting I was talking about and maybe who made it? I found it quite fascinating.

Best regards

I remember one of Cliff Thorburns 147 at the World Championships, but I can't remember anything else about it!

[Krøyer]

Yes, as I remember it, it was showing a 147-break! I think you might be right about that.

I wonder if there has ever been any reproduction of the "painting"? I found the idea quite creative.

A painting? Are you talking about the path of the cue ball that they show when a player is taking a shot?

[Krøyer]

Yes I do believe it was something like that. Maybe along with the path of the other balls as well.. I wish I could give more information about it, but I really don't remember it that well. It has just kept popping up in my mind lately (maybe because I was looking for some fine decoration for the walls ;-)).

Yes that's right, it was definitely Thorburn's 147. So the painting showed all the balls as they were set up at the start of the frame, and then something like a hollow circle of the relevant colour each time a ball moved position, with a line showing its path. So the 15th red would have had lots of little lines linking the circles (which denote its stopping point each time) finishing with the line that sends it into the pocket.

It was quite intricate as I recall and a diagram of it appeared in one of the issues of Snooker Scene a couple of years ago.

I'll try to look it out.

I think it was only last year, maybe the world championship or the masters.

I'm sure It was thw World championship last year - I remember seeing it,it was fantasic.

[Krøyer]

Was it really only last year? I remember it as some years ago. As time just pass away eh?

None the less it would be great seeing it again, but I don't know if the Copyright issues would deny us the pleasure.

If you find something Statman, let me know will you?
