What is the maximum break (consecutive points in one turn) in snooker?
Answer
147 points
The maximum break in snooker is 147 points, achieved by potting all 15 red balls with black balls between them, followed by potting all six colored balls in ascending order. This perfect frame represents the theoretical limit of snooker performance under standard rules. A maximum break requires exceptional precision, cue control, and strategic positioning—an extremely rare accomplishment in competitive play.

The first official maximum break was recorded in 1982, and it remains one of snooker's most celebrated achievements.
