Yes. It was just before he took the black before the final red. He turned to the audience and gave them the nod because he knew he had the 147 in the bag. Such supreme confidence.Originally Posted by Billy View Post
EDIT: Gif here. Sorry the quality. I've not made a gif before.

Right, I've really got to stop watching this 147 now. There's always certain things in a 147 that give me a huge grin. In this one it's the guy shouting, "GO ONNN!!" at 6:09 - not yobbish, just pure excitement and a huge, genuine desire to see him do it. Then there's the young couple in the audience at 7:15 when Ronnie's on the final black; the guy with his hands on head and his girlfriend craning over Ronnie's shoulder, and the way they erupt when he sinks the black.
Brilliant!
Actually something about this clip has just struck me as very odd. It's the Eurosport broadcast, but with BBC Wales commentary??Last edited by Billy; 4 March 2014, 05:15 PM."Kryten, isn't it round about this time of year that your head goes back to the lab for retuning?"Comment

“The last red that Ronnie got, left-handed into the green pocket and screwing back almost the length of the table to be perfect on the black, is the best shot I have ever seen." Stephen Hendry

And my favourite quote, David Hendon quoting Shelley: "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair."

Don't agree. Certainly not best shot ever seen. Any of the great left- handers could probably have done it. Robertson, Trump etc could have played the shot just as well IMO. We allow ourselves to get carried away when Ronnie plays left- handed forgetting that he's better with his left hand than a lot of the other players are with their correct hand.....ask Alain Robidoux lol.Originally Posted by BarryH View PostComment

Don't agree with you. To screw the cue ball back between pink and black was not easy and he landed perfect on the black. Don't think someone like Trump would have done that. Would have probably over screwed it.Originally Posted by Bigmeek View Post
I agree it's nog the best shot ever, would be hard to say what is, but it's definitely up there with the best.Box the chimp.Comment

Yeah, deffo agree good, more like great, shot.....but.....just to wind you up a bit, lol, think he had a natural angle to go between pink and black? and would "perfect" not be HIGH on the back? Think he ended up LOW? In reality anything from slightly low to 12" high would have been perfect. Think I'll have a go at replicating the shot today at the club although as the cloths are not the superfine variety I probably won't have much success. Easier to screw back on the fine cloths.Originally Posted by Holden Chinaski View PostComment

Agree 100% but that wasn't my point. My point was that it was a natural shot for a left-hander and a few left handed players would be able to play this shot. Didn't suggest for a second that Robbo or Judd would be able to play it with their opposite hand. Given that Ronnie is ambidextrous he wasn't really playing with his opposite hand. It's no big deal when you're ambidextrous. I know cos there's quite a few things I can do equally well (or bad lol) with both hands. Snooker unfortunately is not one if those things. I've tried potting balls with my opposite hand and struggle to get a red from 6".Originally Posted by scottley View PostComment

Ok, we've seen Ronnie playing left handed for years now but for me it never gets old, i always thought he can only do the simple-ish shots, like a simple stun, or a 10 inch or so screw back, but we've seen him bridging over balls, screwing the length of the table etc, its remarkable, if the definition of ambidextrous is to do something EQUALLY well with EITHER hand, then i'm not convinced his left is as good as his right, although his left is a very high standard.After 15 reds and 15 blacks i did this http://youtu.be/DupuczMS2o4Comment
-
Yeah Scottley you're right. The correct definition of ambidextrous is that you can do things equally well with both hands or feet etc. Clearly Ronnie favours his right hand. Still ****e- hot with his left tho. Guess if he played a frame left-handed against Robbo he would lose but he'd beat a lot of other left-handed players I think.Comment

Top 32 player with his left in my opinion, maybe even top 16.After 15 reds and 15 blacks i did this http://youtu.be/DupuczMS2o4Comment

I wonder if he can use the rest left handed? I can just about pot a ball with my left hand without looking too awkward, but if i attempted to use the rest left handed the table would need a new cloth lol.After 15 reds and 15 blacks i did this http://youtu.be/DupuczMS2o4Comment

. . . so frogs aren't ambidextrous then ?Originally Posted by Bigmeek View Post
