The secret of compiling a big break in snooker is learning how to control the white ball after the first pot, and then after each successive pot.
If you notice the big breaks on TV, they sometimes but not always start off with quite a hard pot, but notice that with the top players, the white invariably finishes in a position to make the next pot quite an easy pot and so on.
Notice in this world record speed maximum break, that after the first good pot on the red, Ronnie uses stun and bottom spin shots to control the white ball so he knows exactly where he wants it to be to make the next pot and subsequent pots much easier.
