It’s a weird shot, as a non fan, what is the significance beyond luck. He should have put it in the corner easily, right?

Its snooker, the pockets are super tight and your angles have to be literally perfect. A shot played at that speed off by a few millimetres will miss.

It is just pure luck, he hits it hard so that the cue ball ends up where he wants it to for the following shot and by mistake pulls off that insanely lucky shot. Very simolified of course but you get the jist

Yeah so basically he's putting a lot more concentration in to where the cue ball will end up. Ideally wanting to smash them reds to give plenty of options for his next shots.
