After a double baulk gave him a scoring opportunity, Russell
settled into his breathtaking 957, a world record under the
100 point baulk line rule. The entire break was confined to the top
quarter of the table and he was not remotely in trouble even once.
The baulk-line was crossed with contemptuous ease on nine
occasions with perfect position resulting every time. A slight lapse
in concentration caused him to miss an easy pot red and the magical
four figure mark. Russell´s feats in practice are staggering—he has
a personal best break of 2,030, and no less than 18 breaks over the
thousand mark.
