Most people have heard of the term "maximum breaking" while playing snooker. The maximum break in a frame is the highest. A player could break the maximum by potting all 15 of the reds or all 15 blacks in a single frame for 120 points. You can also break the maximum by potting all six colours in one frame, which costs 27 points.
Stephen Hendry’s 147
A record-breaking number of 47 has brought attention to the seven-time World Snooker champion. The break was made in the seventh frame of his match against Stuart Bingham, Sheffield. He is now the world number one and will defend his title. He is also in line for another major reward. Hendry, however, isn't convinced that the additional incentive of a Crucible 147 break is worth it.
Ronnie O'Sullivan's 147
Ronnie O'Sullivan has made 15 competitive 147 breaks. His first was during the 1997 World Championship held at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield. 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 No. 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 successes however, he failed to win The Crucible.
Jimmy White's 147 against Tony Drago
Jimmy White's 147 against Tony Draga can be considered one of best billiards shots. It was struck by Tony Draga, the former world number 1. It was the fastest century-break in a ranking competition. Drago is a skilled player, but he has his faults. His temperament is not always perfect and he often plays poorly against the rest.

After the match, Drago welcomed him with a warm welcome.
