What is the best fluke ever??

[April madness]

The only red I ever potted in the history of ever was over the upper left pocket; the white was next to the green pocket and I was only trying to make contact with the red. I will never know what happened or how I struck it, because the cue ball rolled nicely along the cushion, knocked the red in and finished conveniently on a colour.
Which I missed by a mile. So my only chance to make a break was shattered to pieces.

it was a break of 1 point, BC

My best fluke has to be when I was practising on my own. So, no-one else was there to confirm it!

I had a decent angle to play off the black and splitt a pack of about 10 reds. Played the shot and the black jawed and hung over the pocket - meanwhile one of the reds travelled out of the pack and up the table between yellow and brown and then back down where it cannoned another red which knocked the black in and left a nice red for my next shot!

I think you want to work on using a bit less pace when splitting the pack!

Second this, it was not a spectacular fluke but the end result that came from it.

had many myself. lets see. I played the pink, missed the pot, and the white ended up exactly in between the black and the jaw of the pocket. The cueball was positioned in such a way my mate could never hit the pink from there. and won the frame and match because of the foul.

most well known must be Cliff Thorburns first red in his 1983 world championship 147!

mine was when i miscued, it chipped over the black and planted a red in, it set me up straight for the black aswell.

But that is a foul...

I played a guy who fluked 3 blacks in a 41 break! His previous high break was 23!

But that is a foul...

well i lost that match anyway, but is it the chip that is the foul?

it depends if the red was on without the chip or not.

I like the way players apologise for flukey positional shots. It isn't a full fledged apology but a half raising of the hand.

My best fluke, was in ,q final of a tounament. Final two balls, at 2 frames all .
Black on its own spot , pink 6 inches from yellow pocket, cue ball near pink spot , I over cut pink, and left it over the yellow pocket , the cue ball came straight down the table, clipped the black , which went into jaws of right black pocket , the cue ball went back up the table potting pink .

Bill Werbeniuk for me when he jumped the white and potted the long red, Joe Johnson did not look impressed though

Slightly off-topic, but...

But that is a foul...

Shame the Pythons didn't ever, AFAIK, do a skit about flukes... I can just hear all you, I mean, us old gits outdoing each other like this...
