Off Topic what is the most difficult thing to do in sport?

I remember reading about this some time ago.

A common choice was a 147 in snooker. The sheer number of precise shots involved.

Anything more difficult?

 

Win something whilst playing for Sunderland

 

I said difficult not impossible.

 

9 dart finish is incredibly difficult

 

Is this a question that applies to the average Joe, like us? If so then I'd say yeah, definitely a 147.

For professional sportsmen and sportswomen, I wouldn't be so sure as they smash them in every day in practice...

 

That's why I said a 9 dart finish, how many 147's will you see across a tournament say when watching live?

In comparison I don't think I've ever seen anyone hit a 9 dart finish

Hat trick in cricket is hard too!!

 

They probably do, but what is more difficult?

As mentioned a 9 dart finish is hard. But as difficult as a 147?

 

I've got a trophy for one of them upstairs from a game at Ryhope. So we can cross that one off, if I can do it

I'm leaning towards a 9 dart finish over a 147 in snooker...

 

Alright alright, cocky bugger!

I'm racking my brains trying to think of others but none that I can think of at the moment really come close to those 2 in terms of difficulty.

 

I got a 147 on Jimmy Whites Snooker on my Playstation a while back. Probably my greatest ever achievement. I was well out of position on the black as well. I was sweating buckets, but managed to cut it in. Problem is none of my pals ever believed me. It was a good game because potting balls was quite easy, it was positioning that was the difficult skill involved. Previous snooker games you were over the moon just to pot a ball.

 

Ok. Wtf is a hat trick in cricket?

I know im gonna kick myself for asking. Its gotta be six sixed and.......

**** knows.

 

3 consecutive wickets from a bowler

 

Hitting four home runs in one game of Baseball is supposed to be an extremely hard and rare achievement. Wouldn't know how hard it is I've never played Baseball/Rounders

 

Ah. Is that it. I was obviously thinking to deep into it.

 

answered above

 

Snooker is an awful game to play when you're **** at it. I much prefer pool. I find playing snooker is like trying to hit and control a cricket ball with a chopstick. I find it impossible to make the ball do what I want it to. The total surprise when occasionally pot a ball!! Pool I just seem to have an element of control and the scale and size of the balls and table are spot on.

 

I know your pain mate!

 

As you can tell i know very little about cricket.

There has gotta be something hard to do in golf. What though ive no idea.

 

Probably would be a hole in one.... n how hard that is depends on the par I suppose? Never played/watched golf so **** knows.

 

He said sport, not homosexual pastimes.
