my highest break ever was something like 57. It was years ago though, I haven't played in ages. It was during my college days when we used to take entire days off and spend 6 or 7 hrs at the snooker hall breathing in all that clean air.

Those were the days....

Started playing when I was 13 and played every Saturday and Sunday. Highest break was 87 (right handed) when I was 15. Hardly ever play now and my level's dropped to that of someone who hasn't got a clue. I need a good 10/15 frames before I get the feel back but even then I can only manage the odd 50.

Don't you have to be 17 to drive

G|mp · 24 Feb 2006 at 16:40

Not round here, you just drive what you can take

My highest is about 25.

I only play about once a month though, playing pool in between destroys me (English pool, mind).

My highest is about 120 if i remember correctly.

Ok, so what if it was on a 6ft x 3ft table when i was 12.

Highest on a full size is probably around 40.

I used to play a fair bit, with a high of about 35, a friend I would consider "good" has a high of about 60.

I think this is definately one of those sports where you need natural talent in huge amounts to succeed

I'm surprised a few of you don't know exactly what your highest break is, everyone I play with knows what balls they potted to achieve it. Mine is 36 (4x black 1 green) I did it nearly a year ago and I've improved since then but I always choke around the 25-30 mark, been playing for about 2/3 years.

I usually play on a Friday and Saturday with the odd frame in the week.

40, a few years ago at dinner time while at college

elroberto · 25 Feb 2006 at 14:03

62, just over 5 years ago. I don't play as much as I did then anymore. I usually get 35-40 on a good day now.
