Ronnie O'Sullivan's BEST Snooker Performance of All Time v Ding Junhui | 2024 World Grand Prix 

Well, that sucks! Your editing is top notch. Damn.

There always picking on the little guys, you'll figure it out pal.

That sucks, man. You did great work.

I'm pretty sure that if you can prove they copyright strikes your personal videos they can get banned from youtube. I remember watching someone explain that randomly copyright striking people is a terrible idea. Look into that, I'm pretty sure you can contest the strikes on your own videos. After they lose the strikes on those they might get banned for false strikes.

@@FBarbarian Thanks, if it was in the general public domain then I would contest it, but it's three videos I shot inside the Crucible. I reckon they'll defend the takedown because of this in their ticket T&C's - The unauthorised use of mobile phones, laptops, tablets, cameras, video or any form of recording or digital transmission equipment is strictly prohibited and may be confiscated until the end of the session. It appears they are just claiming anything they can on my channel, they are not taking the videos down - they just want the revenue. That's how they work unfortunately.

The full version would have been better.

@@JOHN-tk6vl I'm sure there is full version available. Maybe you should watch it instead of expressing your opinions here that no one cares about.

@@JOHN-tk6vl - even by the internet's low standards, that reads like the typing of an immense bellend

Snooker is way more entertaining at this fast pace. That's why people love watching Ronnie.

I've heard that expression before, and it still fits! When Ronnie is at his best, his reading of the scattered balls and how to go about potting each one truly is a thing of beauty! There is only ONE Rocket!

Stephen Hendry said without Ronnie Snooker Tournament is not the same.

@@ayubmatadar1136 That is a fair point. How many less people attend or watch when Ronnie is out? Curious the comparison.

The Jimi Hendrix of snooker

@@Ogma3bandcamp Well said 👏👏

Much appreciated!

i wanted to say the same thing. The editing is second only to ronnies performance !!! thank you @snooker fan zone

@@pkgnitt You're welcome!

Phil Yates, the only thing wrong with this film. Ruins any game he commentates on

Really? We disagree. I can't watch this with all the cuts between shots. It's like watching highlights of a cricket match! You miss the deliberation and real pace of the break...

Couldn't agree more! What a thrill be still watching him after all these years!

Ding and Trump will keep it relevant

Steven Hendry Said without Ronnie Snooker Tournament is NOT the same.

Amen. It's a shame he's not given the respect and wider notoriety he deserves. Mo Farah, or some Olympic Gold winning British cyclist or Lewis Hamilton get more elevation and respect, but when was Ronnie on a chat show with Graham Norton or Jonathan Ross? He's up there with Andy Murray and Lewis Hamilton and Beckham etc in my books. What a man! What a living Ledend!

@@WhyMoiDo you honestly think O'sullivan is into the mainstream bollox of guest shows like Norton and Co!? He's not mainstream at all! He despises that sort of circus. All the right people really know his talent and worth and it will show the most when he's left the game sadly. He's a true ONE OFF.

“We’re gonna need a bigger table.” 😂

It's incredible how easy he makes it look

Yep, when Hendry--one of the greatest of all time--sends out platitudes like that (paraphrasing: I could pot a few balls but could never play like this) that is pure class. This was Ronnie in top gear. If you've been watching him for a long time you know when he has his eye in and enjoys it. Yes, balls are clearly being potted, but when he's in the zone, he strokes the cue, minimal addressing and glides around the table (much like his earlier hero Joe Davis) and rarely misses. About as good as the game of snooker has ever been played. A similar match was Ronnie v Rickie Walkden at Masters 2014. Almost 10 years ago and he is still the man to beat. Ridiculous. Also nice to see Jan Verhaas reffing. This fine dude actually hails as a ref from about when Ronnie turned pro. An adonis of a man back in those days and still has a big presence. Have a look for early 90s footage.

I came to the comments specifically to find the one about the last pink! That was special

You're one lucky person to have been there!

He wasn't, he's just storytelling.

Could've been, think I recognise him by his av as spotted him in the crowd.

...indeed, and Ding is very worthy...but any opponent can sit in the chair watching Ronnie and dream of 'epic battles'...cheers,

ding is a top 3 player I don't know how he hasn't won more

My thoughts exactly 💯

You're welcome, thanks for watching. It was a great match

I've been watching Ronnie since he started in the game & this was as good as I've ever seen him. Ridiculously good, even more so considering his age now.

@@dylanmace2851 God, he's not old lol

@@milleniumsaucer8978Seeing as I'm 7 years older than him I'd definitely agree...haha. I meant in snooker terms, no other player in history has ever maintained this standard as they got older.

❤exactly well said and well OBSERVED.

Should see Ronnie playing 9 ball. Funnily enough, I was watching it last night with the young Ronnie playing the likes of Earl Strickland, a hall of famer in his own right. And who doesn't know who Mike Massey is! Ronnie was amazing to watch, and the commentators were saying that he could easily take up the sport in America instead of snooker. 9 ball is my game. Love snooker, but pool is awesome. Ps also check out Mark Selby playing English 8 ball pool! Especially loved watching him play Darren Appleton. That was a phenomenal match!

You're welcome, it took about 3 hours to edit so I hope it makes the viewing better 👍

​@@SnookerFanZoneYour efforts are much appreciated. Keep it up

Very enjoyable, and what a performance by Ronnie. Unparalleled

Thank you for these!!

@@SnookerFanZone hope the ad revenue is compensating you appropriately :-)), since we (the viewers) do not.

Thank you, that really means a lot. To be put right up there with Cesar is a great honour. Hopefully more to come in the future including some exhibition and fan footage 👍

@@SnookerFanZone Whatever you upload, I will watch it. Thank you for your efforts

No problem, I wanted to do that performance justice

@@jeanmarshfan you're right but unfortunately not that type of break, more like over a decade.

I can 100% relate to this. I played from mid teens also. Got pretty good late teens into early 20s...missed a pink for my first century and made regular 40s 50s 60s 70s etc then I had children and had a 20yr gap. I have been back playing the last two years and I'm playing the best snooker of my life. Strange because I'm also dealing with health issues which I feel if weren't there ide be even more consistent. I feel like maturity is helping me this time around. I'm playing the game different, not just relying on my potting ability but playing the game correctly, picking the right shots and positional play is alp round better than when I was young. I missed a black for a 79 clearance just last week. Make 40 50 breaks regularly now. My dream has always been to make a century! It would be so cool to get my name ingraved on the century placard in my snooker club along with all the other great players that are from my area and there are a few. Just love the game, always did. Watching Ronnie at his best is something else. You can also learn a lot from this footage! If you really study how he goes about his game with shot choice etc I feel u can pick up some very valuable info. Just like a boxer studying the art of boxing....it is an art from you know, snooker that is. Keep going fella🎱💫💯💥

@@taff6987 I consistently make 30-50's breaks and have made one century, but it was in a cricket game so obviously I don't count it. Hope your health improves very soon ✌🏻

i'd say its one of the advantages >.

isn't that alan mcmanus?

@@colorippleMcManus was on during the first session and then Hendry was on in the final session

Hendry: "I used to be quite good at snooker myself" lmao ...

Yes, an amazing 4 centuries to win 6 to 1

You're right, we're witnessing something that may never be repeated

Thank you!! 😊

Higgins performance was better a couple of years ago.

Well , just normal Ronnie session. It's actually not that special. To be honest, I have seen better sessions by him. In one match of best of 11, he scored 5 centuries against Ricky Walden.

​@@rolandcraig8091не было такого

​@@rolandcraig8091Was only 1 century in that game

And Shangai Masters!

Thanks, your feedback is really appreciated. I try to keep the flow on point with the commentary although it is a painstaking process, I'm glad it creates a good viewing experience 😃

@@SnookerFanZone It does indeed, your efforts are duly noted and appreciated - subscribed, of course!

@@MetteC5 Thank you 👍

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

at 48 (he is exactly 25 days older than me) it's unbelievable ..

Thanks for watching!

That really means a lot Howard, thanks for watching! Are there any snooker halls in Cyprus?

unbelievable that...

No problem, glad you appreciate it 👍

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you, really appreciate the feedback!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

That is some statement and it means a lot - thank you. I'll continue as long as people enjoy it 👍

@@SnookerFanZonethis channel and Cesar Muroya are the only watchable snooker edits. Many thanks for your work

Much appreciated!

You're welcome, people seem to enjoy the short format. It's a balance between the short format and not losing the essence of the game.

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

Thanks, will do!

Thanks, that's really kind of you and means a lot. Unfortunately my channel has come under attack by a company in the US called SuperBam who use bots. They have copyright claimed a large proportion or my material perhaps on behalf of WST - they target smaller channels that are seeing growth and higher views. Unfortunaly they don't watch the videos and assess whether it is "fair usage", they don't care . As a result RU-vid have suspended me, and I will probably have to take down all the material including this upload. Currently this rogue company will be earning revenue from all my videos and they are well known for these tactics. They even had the cheek to claim two videos filmed by myself in the Crucible. Unfortunately in the current format I can't proceed, I will have to take down all my match edits, re-apply to RU-vid and only upload my own footage from exhibitions and fan footage in the future.
