100 break billiards Walter Lindrum

[TheQMastr]

Unfortunately for the future billiard players and fortunate that there is a young version of a walter lindrum emerging in australia again...... He is 4 foot nothing and he is already making 200-400 breaks plus....... Hmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry every1 but this is true. Look out for him in about 6 years time. the world of billiards will change!!

@TheQMastr What's his name, where's he from?

[steviemax147]

First time i have ever seen this guy actually play. I believe Jimmy White was born in 1962 shortly after Walter Lindrum died in 1962. Some say Jimmy White is a re-incarnation of Lindrum and you can see similarities.... Left handed, effortless cue action, speedy, they even move around the table the same...Spooky eh?

@steviemax147 NOT REALLY?!

[gman21xx]

@steviemax147 Lindrum died in 1960. So there goes your reincarnation theory. But interesting observations you make nonetheless.

Its amazing how well this guy is playing especially back in those days. Those in-offs are much too difficult then they look. Very talented.

Lindrum was an absolute master of the game. So much to learn from his play! Thank you for posting.

[Valdinsh]

Calling all the ball and making these shots happen and just naming the break he will get. Flawless.

though kevinleverne in his comment makes a valid point regarding the enjoyment of this game, if you don't play it. Hence in 1950's the rules were changed in snooker and pool to make it more pleasing and entertaining to viewers. Although that means commercializing the sports whereas it should be about the sports principle and the game. It is, who plays the game but not who watches it played.

[kevinleverne]

A skillful game played by a master of it, but its just not entertaining enough for tv. I would much rather watch a hunrdred break in snooker than watch a bunch of cannons along the rail. No disrespect, its just not entertaining for most people.

[kounavoskilo]

can any1 explain me how is this game played..I understood nothing..=S

[boyonholiday]

Pure genius.

[bonediggerboy]

Genius! Does anyone agree that trad billiards needs to come back into fashion? It's so much better than snooker and 8 ball.

[jondotdot]

he was my uncle!

[tigerbay70]

unbelievable. my bests 38.

[CallumAndCambria]

fucking hell i struggle to make 30+ breaks :|!!

need to learn the game more

[maxiboy339]

Absolute genius. I know modern players don't come near his sheer talent but what are the highest modern breaks? I once spoke to Dave Causier years ago (we're both Boro lads) and he told his highest break was something like 729! Probably even higher now.

[russelltrigger]

Dude,

i couldnt agree more, but their is only 1 player i think comes this close thats the Rocket!!

[shaney1963]

This was so great. You can really see the difference in sharpness between the play here and the other youtube post in 1957. This is Lindrum at the height of his remarkable powers. Thanks so much (for ten years, i taught a calculus course. In exams, all the "constant" terms were my tribute, 4137. Funny thing, not one students i ever spotted the recurrence of this number, or asked its meaning)

[nightman26]

no that is still the highest break

[teflonde]

Brilliant!

I believe his highest break in competition was 4,137 against Joe Davis.

Has that been equalled or even surpassed since?
