hendry cu 8 din cate stiu ... link doar asta pot sa-ti pun la dispozitie...si bineinteles cred ca te referi la breakuri realizate in competitie.

http://www.answers.com/topic/highest-snooker-break

cel mai rapid a fost facut de ronnie in 5 minute jumate aprox.

@fia

recordurile alea cu cele mai multe puncte fara raspuns din partea adversarului au cazut la preston saptamana trecuta din cauza lui john higgins (494 in fata lui ronnie ... ce bataie i-a dat) :D

[Tess]

ar trebui sa ma studiez cu atentie tabelul respectiv ca sa`mi dau seama...
