How to unlock the Maximum break achievement in Pure Pool - Definitive Guide

Welcome to the hardest achievement of the entire game! This will take countless hours of practice and a little bit of luck...ok a lot of luck.

The best game mode to get this achievement is P1 vs P2, because you can basically set yourself up before you go for the 147.

Now, the way I got the achievement was starting with potting the free ball. The free ball becomes available when your opponent snookers you from every red on the table. You have to pot a colored ball(the free ball) in order to continue.

The best way to do this is to have P2 set up behind the brown ball and hit it slightly toward the blue ball. Then you are going to pot the brown ball with YOUR account in one of the far corner pockets down where the black ball is. Try to pot the black ball and position the cue ball to hit the reds after it strikes the black ball. This will give you a head start of 8 points and the best chance of getting the 147 achievement!

During my achievement winning run I had a break of 153. I potted 13 black balls and 2 pink balls. So it gives you a little wiggle room to pot other colored balls on the table when you can't pot the black.

Have fun with this one! I know I sure did...

I found having the cue jacked all the way up for screw shots gave me better control of the white.

Just wanted to share my pain. Today I potted the first red of a frame and two more reds went in on the same shot. Wouldn't you know it, I potted all reds and blacks from that point and cleared up for a 133. A maximum break given potting 3 reds in one shot, but obviously no achievement lol

This is definitely the hardest achievement in the game, probably the hardest achievement in the entire cue sports genre. I completed Pool Nation FX and every other achievement in this game, and I've practiced this achievement for at least 20 hours and the best I've gotten is a couple centuries. I definitely feel like I'm getting closer and better cue ball control though, which is reassuring. I just need one run with a lot of luck.

Obtaining this trophy is possible only on days that are favorable from an astrological point of view. On all other days this is not possible .

Snooker is a game of points. To get 147 points, you need not only to add up the entire game from the cue, but also to pot all the balls in a certain sequence.
First the red ball is pocketed (there are 15 of them), then the black one. For red you get 1 point for black 7. After you have scored black, it is placed back on the table at a certain point. Then we pocket the red ball again and the black one again. And so 15 times alternating red - black. After this, you need to score yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black in a certain sequence. And all this must be done in one approach so that the series is not interrupted, otherwise you will not score the required number of points for the series.
For points it will be like this (1+7)*15 times+2+3+4+5+6+7 = 147. Total 36 balls without a single miss and in the correct sequence The game is also complicated by the fact that in snooker the table is larger and the pockets are smaller than in a pool. The corners are not as rounded, the pockets are shorter than in Russian billiards. This means that it is almost impossible to score a shot along the board if the ball is pressed against the board. Well, I’m generally silent about doublets. The hint line is not fully visible if the balls are very far apart. In general, not an easy task even for a real snooker professional

This trophy can only be won by playing with a second player on the same controller. In theory, you need to roll the balls across the field so that it is convenient for you to score, periodically hitting either for yourself or for the enemy. And only after that start the series. Before the start of the series, all balls must be on the field. Well, without knowledge of the real game of snooker or at least pool, it is simply impossible to win this trophy.
