Highest snooker break by a woman?

[Haitch]

Hi, any ideas what the highest break is by a woman?

Thanks

[superaussie]

im sure a woman has done a 147 at some stage

[Haitch]

I am not so sure, I would actually be surprised if they have.

There are many male pro's who have never made a max.

Reanne Evans HB in competition is a 140.

[Haitch]

Thanks Monique, is that the highest then?

[magicman]

I think you'd find that if you said that on QI Stephen Fry would soon put your fallacy to rest. There may be many pro's that have never had a 147 in 'tournament play' but in practice they've all had them many times over. I've known loads of amateurs that have had them and I'm talking of people who haven't even competed on the PIOS or ever really seriously considered turning pro.

[Haitch]

fair enough, i am not comparing like for like.

So has any woman actually got a max even in practice?

[JanieWatkins]

Allison Fisher's higher in wlbsa tournament was a 143

[Haitch]

Thanks, in that case I am sure that there have been max's made by women.

cheers for replies.

i agree Most pros have made them in practice but i dont know many people who have never considered turning pro, there not easy to make if you know so many people that have made them i would like to see what kind of tables your playing on KFC bargin buckets spring to mind.

But why there is no woman in Main Tour? (someone like Reanne Evans)

[dcrackers147]

i have always wondered this as there is no physical advantage i just dont think they are good enough to be honest.

[Monique]

But why there is no woman in Main Tour? (someone like Reanne Evans)

Because they are currently no good enough. Why? Here are some ideas about it.
