Do you like to play billiards? The players of the Sam Club in Zaporizhzhia set new records with each game. Not many people know that billiards players around the world often get into the Guinness Book of Records.
For example, one of the most amazing records of billiards is the largest bet lost: the state treasury! The king of Bavaria, Maximilian II, lost it to his treasurer Bartels, after which the king was overthrown from the throne. You can rightfully assign him the title of king of excitement =) And here are other records that are also interesting: • The most attempts to perform a trick by a master are 181.
Steve Miserac’s publicity stunt for the Miller Light beer advertising campaign. • The highest speed of the bat – 31 miles per hour (13.8 meters per second) – was recorded in the game of nine. As a rule, in a normal game, the speed does not exceed 20 m/h.
• With a normal klapsthosome impact, the sticker contacts the cork for one thousandth of a second. • The fastest billiard player on the planet is Dave Pearson. He makes 15 balls rolling in 26.3 seconds.
And to make 15 balls on 10 tables, he needs 9 minutes and 25.7 seconds (data on the record of 2000). • Stanley Stonick made a series of 46 balls playing with one hand on a standard sized billiard table. • Leon Yonders of Baltimore made a series of 180 points in a straight bullet, striking from behind.
• On April 21, 1997, Ronia O’Sullivan scored 147 points in snooker, the fastest on the planet, in 5 minutes and 20 seconds. • The biggest break in snooker is 149 points. Taken by Tony Drago on February 1, 1995.
For 8 years, no one has been able to surpass this result. • The oldest world champion was Fred Davis in 1980 – he was 67 years old. • Some Stevie Star was able to swallow and burp a billiard ball in 1998 (recorded in the Guinness Book).
• The most popular book on the pool is Billiards for Everyone by Robert Byrne. I would recommend it as an excellent guide to the technique of the game: in this aspect it is almost as good as it says in the preface. • The longest game for billiards at official competitions is 6 hours 25 minutes.
Thorburn v. Griffiths, Snooker, 1983. The game ended around 4 o’clock in the morning. • The smallest number of participants in the World Cup is 2!
Only two people applied for the World Snooker Championship in 1931. • The youngest world champion is Jimmy White. He was under seventeen when he won the amateur snooker world championship in 1979.
