Stephen Can’t Believe These Trick Shots! (Dennis Taylor & Cliff Thorburn REVEAL Trick Shot Secrets)

Stephen returns to the Crucible Theatre to receive a trick shot masterclass from snooker legends Cliff Thorburn and Dennis Taylor.
Dennis starts with his impressive, ‘Machine Gun’ trick shot, in which he starts with the white ball and then proceeds to pots all of the colours in the corner pocket before the white ball drops into the pocket. It’ll make a lot more sense if you just watch! Dennis then takes us through a slow motion of his secondary snooker proof trick shot, which he explains in slow motion. Both of these are worth a second look!
Cliff delivers Stephen a, ‘Wing Shot’ which starts by rolling the black ball and as it’s still moving, hitting it with a long shot into the corner pocket. Incredibly impressive!
Cliff and Dennis also answer 10 questions each to round out two fascinating sessions at The Crucible.
Let us know what you think in the comments!

@@EnglishPoolandSnooker That's a fair point - I was pretty surprised to learn he was only 36 when he won the World Title. I think with him it was mainly the glasses though, whereas Cliff Thorburn has always had the "colonel travelling first class aboard the Titanic" look and vibe about him.

@danielkarmy4893 11 ай бұрын

Interesting that people said they liked the tactical side just as much as the heavy scoring - I always have, in fact I prefer a gritty tactical battle (yes, I did enjoy watching Ebdon v Dott...), I think you see people's skill come to the fore when they're breakbuilding, but you see their intelligence when it comes to tactics. Great video with two fellow legends of the sport, thanks for sharing with us. :)

You ought to get Steve Davis on the trick shots, we had him booked at Crawshawbooth Conservative Club, Rossendale in Lancashire when he was on the up and he drove up in the Lada that he’d just won in ‘The Lada Classic’… scoring the first televised 147 break. I’d seen exhibitions many times, so I was familiar with the pros trick shots. Steve’s were totally different and superb. I recall one where he talked about the easy one seen in clubs… to pot the blue in the middle pocket and screw the white back into the opposite pocket, then he introduced it as an impression of how World Darts Champion Eric Bristow would play it. Holding the cue one handed, javelin style, he got it first time and then repeated it with a handkerchief over the blue. The best exhibition I’ve seen, and a very interesting, entertaining and funny chap in complete contrast to his persona in tournaments. The next best exhibition I saw at the Con Club was an old, jam jar glasses wearing Welshman… Cliff Wilson. No trick shots but I’ve never seen consistent superb potting like it before. We also got Jimmy White at the club before he turned pro after winning the World Amateur final. He was great. Alex Higgins was the worst, turned up drunk, couldn’t do much and started complaining the balls were too cold. So we warmed them up in the pie oven . He didn’t improve.

I’ve seen Dennis do an exhibition at my club 40+ years ago, and had the great pleasure of playing him one Saturday afternoon at ‘The Elite’ snooker club in Accrington when he lived in Blackburn and practiced there. I walked in and all the tables were occupied with frames going on apart from one guy in the corner on his own practicing. I didn’t recognise him, at first, asked if he fancied a few frames and he obliged. I won the toss, broke off, cue ball tight on the baulk cushion. He slotted in a difficult red, knocked in a 30+ break, ran out of position and snookered me behind a baulk colour. I noticed his cue case in my escape eye line before getting down to the shot, had ‘D. Taylor’ on it, then it clicked and with a chuckle I said, “You’re THE Dennis Taylor aren’t you?”, he replied chuckling, “Yep”. Turned out he was just back from having a couple of weeks off after losing in the World Snooker Final to Terry Griffiths. Played him all afternoon, and managed to win a couple of frames, but then he was playing me left handed. A superb, very witty gentleman and one of my fondest snooker memories.
