147 Maximum Break In Snooker

[saintpeter48]

How many times is the cue ball struck in a maximum break by the player making the break.

[Grandpappy]

Just watch Ronnie O'Sullivan do it in 5!

[-Talbot-]

Here it is

Such a situation occurred after one shot each in the 14th frame. Because he was snookered after a foul, Burnett nominated brown as his extra red, potted the brown again as his colour and added all the reds with 12 blacks, two pinks and one blue before an adventurous clearance of the colours

We're defing a MAXIMUM break, so 148 isn't one. 147 is the conventional maximum, the next one is 155 allowing for a free-ball start.

[Sipowicz]

To be fair, St peter did say the 148 was the highest break, not a maximum.
