Settle Another Argument...

[Jinky04]

A perfect 100 points in tiddily-winks is more difficult than the lot of them, but no-one would care if anyone ever managed it.

Without a doubt the game of the future. Played with tank and poppet at BB2, found it strangely compelling....all we need is a Late Night Tiddlywinks on TV to start the boom

Oh yeh, the question, a 147 does it for me.

I can't believe you are all arguing over a couple of pub games that should have never been allowed on television.

HEHEHEHEHE

Now that would be exhilarating, NOT!!!

There are many 147 breaks both in practice and in tournaments each year, didnt Willie Thorne retire having compiled 47 maximums in his playing and practice career?

a 9 darter takes more skill and precision.

Yes, but equally if you ask Phil Taylor how many 9 Darters he has thrown in practice I guess it would be pretty high.

deffo, but I am pretty sure it wouldnt be 47, in snooker you can have many shots before the first pot that can enable a 147 to be slightly easier to compile, In darts you have to get it right on every shot.

I like the 147 basically because I prefer snooker as a sport.  As Tank said, it is alot harder to remain focussed for the time needed to compile one.

However, the 9 darter is also a great achievement. This requires perfect muscle memory, accuracy and nerve. ( exactly the same as snooker )

I think they are both equal, so I cant vote for a winner on this one.  ( I like sitting on the fence    )

Here is a question.. Are snooker and Darts games or sports?   I always argue they are sports in the same way I argue in defence of poker as a sport. In my opinion, poker, chess and backgammon aren't games. They are Mind Sports.  I know these are played at the annual Mind Sports Olympiad organised by TONY BUZAN.

Good point.

Willie Thorne saying he's done 47 maximum's doesn't mean a lot to me.

John Higgins once claimed he'd only ever done 3 in his life.

i saw one guy perform a 155 maximum break once...now that was truly remarkable

Jamie Cope?

Bothered! Tikay can do an 8 darter!

[Ironside]

155 is truely impressive and very rare

infact you have more chance of meeting someone with the same DNA as you than you are to see a 155

tikay getting an 8 dart finish is like me beating him 5 - 0 HU run of the mill as he was only playing 101

[ifm]

Didn't Kirk Stevens have a 155?
