Is this for real? I mean... it actually happened from a normal rack? or is it a setup? The balls don't look to be very tightly racked.

Haha. Nice one Peter. With a break like that I guess it doesn't matter what order you set the balls up! Very cleverly done though. I'm not quite sure how they filmed it but the film makers don't know much about pool cos I've never seen the wing ball fly straight into the side pocket before! That gave the game away instantly.

I've had 5 as well.
The most I've seen on competition play is six (on 2 seperate occasions)
I did hear a story once that Cliff Thorburn made all 9, but find it difficult to believe.

I had a similar scenario to dazzler, only in my case it was a money match for £100, 8 years ago in the pool room that I used to play in I was 4-2 up in a race to 11 and I broke, with 6 balls dropping on the snap , with the 3,7,9, still left to shoot, BUT!!!... I was hooked on the 3, behind the 7, in which both the snowball and the 7, got married on the upper left side rail and the 3, being on the bottom rail , I pushed out, but rolled a little too far and left a long bank shot on the 3, which the guy made and got out on , but I still ended up winning the match 11-7 Willie
