155 but only when the player has to pot a colour to start as he has been foul snookered by the other player. He only scores 1 for that ball and can then pot the black for a 7 points. He can then can start on clearing the others for a further 147 Feb 10 04, 11:09 AM

162 Technically possible but highly unlikely to occur. The first player plays a succession of misses so the 2nd gets 159 points in aways. The 2nd players misses too, gives the first player a free ball and 4 away. The first player gets a break of 155 from the 147 + free ball + black. Scores are now level so black is respotted, which he pots too resulting in 155 +7 = 162 Break = 155 +7 = 162. Feb 05 07, 5:35 PM

Technically there's no limit. If player A keeps fouling and fouling and fouling ... before player B starts playing his break. To my opinion the highest possible break with a single foul is 162. If player A fouls on the black ball and leaves the cueball snooker when all the balls are still on the table, player B gains 7 points and the right of a free ball. He pots a coloured ball as a red one and then the black one, he gets 8 points plus the 7 of the foul = 15 points. Then he clears the table, what would give him of course 147 points plus those 15 = 162. Apr 28 07, 10:02 AM

Please clarify this for me, is the highest possible break in snooker 147, or is it possible with the free ball rule that the highest possible break is in actual fact 155? An explanation would be much appreciated. Excluding free balls, what is the highest break in snooker that can be made without potting a single black? An American break in Connemara? What percentage of golfers break 100, 90, 80, and 70 ?
