I could watch and listen to you explain every conceivable shot on a snooker table, Stephen. So insightful and clear. By the way, I've pretty much always played that last shot with some side, just always felt easier to me - made me happy to hear I've been doing it like the pro's all this time 😁

Love this channel so much. Always get giddy when I see a new upload 😁 came back from the snooker hall today with a 4-0 win after implementing the tips from the previous few vids Stephen has dropped! Thanks!!

I really do think Stephen and Ronnie should start a weekly podcast together and do exhibitions around the country a bit like the overlap on sky, that sort of idea anyway.

Brilliant demonstration and explanation by a true legend 👍👍👍😀😀😀

Got to say, as a kid I absolutely hated you because you were too good😂. Now I have nothing but the upmost respect for how good you are/were. Winners win and your relentlessness is incredibly inspiring.

Thanks for the video. Nice tips. This actually help improving the game. It would be great if you add 'black to yellow', too. Play from both side with different ways to play the shot.

I love the clarity on your explanations, and why deciding to use one shot or another. Amazing video, and amazing channel

Another lesson from the master 🙌

Great video, thanks for taking the time to create this.

Keep these brilliant videos coming so informative

Such a brilliant tutorial this 👌 you're a great mentor Stephen!

These videos are great! Loving them all. From 1 of the best!

Pretty much every shot you have covered here is one I need to work on. Great video!

Superb tutorials ,made my game improve no end ,keep them coming champ x

Hi Stephen, how do you adjust your aiming for potting with side? I usually do 99% of my aiming before I get down on the shot, using the method of taking a look at the potting angle, and then keeping my eye on the spot as I walk to the line of the cue ball to the object ball. Should I be making the adjustment for side at this point? Or is it a gut feeling once you're down on the shot? Thanks for these invaluable videos, and long may the success of your channel continue!

Such a great video! There are so many instruction videos out there that it can feel over whelming to know where to focus energy or make best use of available table time. This makes it seem so clear as to how to put all the pieces together to become an all around better player, once basic potting and technique is solid - Thanks Stephen! You are not only the most dominant player of all time, and arguably still the GOAT, but also a really great, and humble, teacher

after watching the world billiards last week, and having played the game 40 odd years ago when i played that and snooker in the league, im sure that having a top billiards player on would give a few tips to snooker players

Yup. more of this please. Thanks @Steven.

Great stuff as always! Thanks

The best episode so far! If only it was 30 years ago, there might be more than only 9 players worth watching today. Best wishes.

Hi Stephen, can you do a video on the maths aspect of the game, how to do quick calculations in your head for points required, snookers needed etc… Thanks Jag

Thanks for sharing these shots man.

Great video, you should do a video on all spin with the cueball, explaining check side and running side

Fantastic video, Mr. Hendry! If your channel has now over 32 million views since you began filming them, I think there are a lot more people interested in this classic game than the so called "sponsors" think! They need to pay attention as do the sports media stations and start getting a lot more coverage and interest worldwide in this wonderful game! Thanks for all you do.

One thing you never see on any snooker channels is advice on Cue Tips, i.e best shape to dome them, what players use what brands, differing reasons on why e.g soft & hard tips etc, probably more topics than ive thought off, would make a very informative video i think Stephen for your channel.

Amazing video great tips Stephen 🎉 Golden ✨💯

I immediately subscribe when i watched this video. Very detail and useful tips from the best

Brilliant vid again Stephen, 1 question, when applying side to the cue ball do you have to make allowance on the target ball? Thanks

Great lad Stephen

Excellent..👍

I would love to see you play on a not so reactive club table just to see how much more effort someone needs to put in to get the spin right. When I started to play I always thought I’m to dumb to play backspins, turns out it’s the cloth. Would be interesting to see how you play on one of these 😊

Brilliant again

🙏 What a great channel that you created Stephen! Also whomever designed your CUE TIPS logo are so talented! Welcome done, I love your channel! Thank you!

Such a nice classy teaching steven.i am from India.

The new cue sounds sweet Stephen ⚡

So glad I found this channel!! Thanks mate :-) Looking fwd to destroying my friends on the table

Thanks for the vid Stephen, one suggestion tho, when mention stuff like 4:25, it would really help if you could put a quick clip from a game or something so we could see it happen.

Welldone Good job brother 👍🏻🤩👍🏻 Im a very lucky watching these Tips and learning day by day and soon I will become a Good Snooker Player, thanks For best Tips and tricks. Msg From Dubai UAE 🤩👍🏻

This advice is invaluable. I'm confident that with the info in this video, I'll soon be getting breaks into double figures.

Brilliant tips SH love from Pakistan ❤

Thanks Stephen, great introduction. Is it possible you can mark the cue point simultaneously. Sometimes althrogh I can figure it out whether its screw or fellow, but not that precisely.

Pure gold

Plan: Watch another great Stephen Hendry video, and figure out how to adapt the excellent information to pool...

Thank u sir

Inspired me to take up snooker again.. used to play when I was around 15 but never carried on.. I’m now 43 and going to my club for first time in 25 years or so..

Legend ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great video. We need a frame with John Higgins

Brilliant Stephen, keep it up and we might let you join our team you’ll have to take your turn driving for the away matches of course 😊😊,

Thanks for all your efforts legend. Please use the GoPro camera again so that we can see the exact potting point

Hi Stephen, Excellent work , I have one request can you please make same video but please show the cue ball where you hit cue 🤗

Absolutely fantastic Stephen.

Energie,artă si magie,evadare din sclavie.

Another great video. Any chance of a picture of the white ball with a dot as to where you strike it? Cheers

This guy can play snooker! Almost like he's a world champ of something!

Great stuff! Wouldn’t mind a wee cueball in the corner of the screen showing where you’d hit the ball 😅

can you play on a very slow table? i want to know how much difference does it make eg sides, deep screws, long straight potting, long potting with side etc

Such an entertaining channel, love every episode that has come up. I wanna know wat happened @6:05 after the pot someone went awwwwhhhhh haha

Stephen can you talk us through the potting point and what you are looking and aiming at.

Don’t follow many Snooker coaches as I am a Snooker coach for beginners but Stephen is a class act and knows the game inside out! 👍🏼🙏✅

10 🖐🖐 Good Tips 💥

big fan

Brilliant video Stephen, could you this with the head cam or a white ball on the screen to demonstrate where you are hitting the ball, I think you remember me from Kirkcaldy, I have recommended your chanel to a youngish lad (in his early 20s) who wants to play league snooker, I spend a few hours with him on a Sunday running through your videos, it would help new comers, thanks Davey, when you next in Hull, where I live now

Great video. Silly mistake i do is putting too much side on it, with judging the right pace

can you please tell us where you are hitting the cue ball when you are splitting the pack off the blue etc.steve barton always puts a pic of the cue ball up to show where he is hitting and a scale to show power, this is a tremendous help for us amateurs.

You should try and get John Vergo on here, that would be cool

Hi Stephen, Running side is always Right hand side ? And Check side is always left hand side ? A screw shot is low on the cue ball for back spin ? I put question marks to make sure I'm speaking the right language...Roland (Canada).

I want to see the outtakes 😉

1:58 Yeah, never thought of that before. Do pros ever play side on long pots?

Stephen Hendry seems like the nicest bloke. 🥂

@Stephen Hendry there are a few android apps out there for snooker/pool but mainly gimmicks. Would you ever consider having one created of your own with training tips and realistic ball action to help train angles and techniques when away from the table? Cause I'd buy into it if you had oversight on it 😁

Does it make a difference as to the snooker balls that you use? I find the ones provided by the club are difficult to control

What's your opinion in the new snooker900 format? Watched a few games last night, not sure how to feel about it if i am honest. But, it Got me watching snooker again which is a positive

So have i got this right.. when playing the blue to go up into baulk and back down, running side is lefthand side when playing above centre (round yellow) , and running side is righthand side when stunning up and down around green? 🤔

Hendry seems like a sound lad. Very impressed by his presenting skills.

It would be wonderful if we have a visual image where to hit exactly on the cue ball

Stephen there's nothing about snooker you couldn't help me with except maybe my break, my cue action, my cue ball control, my shot planning, my.......... etc etc etc 🤣😂😅

Good to show where exactly you strike on the cue ball. I understand check side and running side, but I would understand it better if I see where exactly you strike it.

Knows his stuff this guy, if he keeps practicing he could do well one day : )

Top Banana Stephen 🖖😉🏆

it would be interesting Stephen to see what you think of a computer game called 'virtual pool 4' which is a 3D simulation of cue sports...they have all the pool games and they of course have a snooker table....the physics are very true to life, for instance the 'banana shot' you demonstrated in another video is perfectly doable...

I know it's not traditional in snooker. But would love to see you using a spotted white for these sort of videos. Really show people what the running side and check side is doing for you/them.

Love these.... But I'm still rubbish at snooker.

I Stephen. This is a definition I find confusing : Running is when the spin is turning with the angle of incidence, Check is when the spin is turning against the angle of incidence of collision with the rail. I'm having a hard time grasping the concept. Roland.

Thanks for this! Stephen, at some point, could you please explain something that has always mystified me: cue power. For instance, how is it that Judd Trump has tons of CP, while Mark Wms doesn’t, yet neither is significantly more muscular than the other, and obv both are top notch players?

It would be great if you could show where your cue is striking the ball.

Want to know about deep screw please.

Stephen, blue into the pack, plain ball or with running side?

Hendry is turning on the Tap!

Hendry got to 9 Finals more than 8 Ronnie and 8 John Higgins

PLEASE HELP!! I'm a total beginner ( I've always loved watching snooker) but I've only just started playing, I used to play a lot of English 8 ball ( 25 years ago ) played every day down the local and even played for the team. I had a good eye and could make a lot of shots but I never really played any snooker. As I got older life got in the way,Mrs ,kids,job,mortgage etc etc BUT now the kids are grown,two of them live away from home with their partners and the youngest has just gone off to university . So I've joined the local club with a couple of mates and have started going once a week and these videos/tips are very useful. My question is,how do you know when running side is left or right hand side. I've seen it where the shot needs running side and it's right hand side but watching that there was a black that needed running side and it was said " in this case it's left hand side. What is it that tells you if running side is left or right and what exactly does running side mean? I can play reasonably well but I just do,I kind of know what side to play but I don't know if I'm playing check side or running side. Can anyone help, much appreciated thanks

Should have a cue ball on screen to show where you are hitting the white. You say left hand side but how far left from the centre. Also how high or low on the ball? It would really help

How to pot ball with side spin pls teach us what is aming point in it when apply side spin pls tech us 😊❤

An hour a day on a straight blue... this is why he's the GOAT 👏

Hey Stephen, can you please make a tutorial about running side vs check side? For example to know when it's a "running" side and when it's a "check" side and in what situations should I use each one. Really appreciate it. Thanks for the video.

Repotoir - Boiling point GR

There is no one near as good as you hitting that pink right on the button from the blue splitting the pack. You are a master at it my friend 👊🔥

I wish I had these videos when I was a young bloke. I definitely would have been a much better player.

For me personally, I would've liked the go pro or cue ball with dot to see exactly where you're hitting. The explanation was amazing but I struggle to visualise things.

When hirtibg running or check side arent we talking about the cue ball relative to the object ball aa opposed to hiw the cur hall reacts off the cushion? He plays RHS on the blue to go between yellow and brown to check off the bottom cush, but its running side...

Plan: I watch Stephen videos & I'll play like him. Reality: I will play like myself forever... 😂😂😂😂
