147 Maximum Breaks

Ronnie O'Sullivan is one of the most prolific snooker players that the world has ever seen.

His nicknames include "The Rocket", "The Essex Exocet" and "The Wizard", all of which perfectly describe Ronnie when he's in his best form. He plays with amazing speed and grace and the balls seem to magically fly off in to the packets.

Ronnie has scored six 147 maximum breaks during ranking tournaments. This includes five of the fastest 147s in snooker history! It really goes to show how Ronnie O'Sullivan is in a league of his own.

Ronnie's fastest break, and the fastest on record was recorded by The Guinness Book of World Records at 5 minutes and 20 seconds. That's averages at a ball potted every 9 seconds! This was made during The World Championships at The Crucible theatre in Sheffield on April 21st, 1997.

He's certainly no stranger to scoring maximum breaks, he got his first one when he was just 10 years old. Five years later, aged 15 and 98 days, he became the yongest player ever to score a maximum break in a tournament.

When it comes to scoring the higest break in snooker, nobody does it better than Ronnie O'Sullivan.
