We gotta see Ronnie do the tough table challenge

I actually thought he did alright exposing 8 reds. Then Hendry took the shot 🤣🤣🤣

Chris seems like a nice guy, it's easy to see him as just another Love Island ego maniac but he seems super humble and admires the hell out of Stephen. I love 3:18 when he says 'YOU'RE SO GOOD!'

Love your content Stephen. As far as I know, no other ex-pros have YT channels like this. Love it!

This is really enjoyable to watch, I love the admiration and the mutual respect they have for each other. Stephen is a very good interviewer it comes across so natural and nothing seems scripted. It feels like we are a fly on the wall listening to two friends have a chat

No matter how many times Stephen was politely trying to tell Chris that he has a jerky cue action, Chris just kept doing the same thing. It just shows how hard it is to correct something like that, and probably shows how important it is to get the basics right as early as you possibly can, until it's literally impossible to change it.

Chris brings his head up on every shot.

fun show, i would like to see more cue ball final possition control stuff please :) (edit: Enjoyed Chris wanting to see a pro do the same challenge as him jsut because it would be a cool thing to see, delivery of the word 'fabulous' had just the right pace on it to cause a grin)

now that's a master class. love these vids.

Excellent…. Going into the pack was…indeed…Stephens shot….ALWAYS Positive..👍

Just watching this episode now. Very good 👍🏻

On fire today Steve.. Thanks for the great video

Brilliant lads 💪 And love chris saying "you're so good" 👏 That's what I think everytime i watch all the pros, but Stephen was my idol growing up so agree with chris 💪🤣

3:22 "you're so good" understatement of the century🤣

3:21 "You are so good" !! Dude, he is legend !!

Love it, very positive guest.

The Master at this shot!! No one better

Always helpful

I absolutely love this channel , Stephen , keep the video's coming !!!!!

This was a fun watching.

great content, this thanks for the refreshments

this channel is amazing keep it going stephen

Not so much this comment section but more so the other video with Chris, I personally really liked Chris and also the idea of bringing celebs who aren't pro snooker players onto the channel because to me it brings something new (could just be me only getting into snooker not so long ago but I don't know)

Good to see Stephen basically invented the long pot game taking calculated risks to get in and win obv helps to be as great as him

Just found this channel, it's fantastic. What a great mix of content. Assumed it had existed for years so went back to binge watch the whole back catalogue but only 2 months!!! I'm impressed.

Loving this Channel..

Classic stuff Stephen well done 🎉

For anyone wondering why Stephen hits it so easily, and Chris doesn't, look at the difference in their cue action. Stephen's cue goes a single speed and follows through the ball smoothly. Chris' cue action speeds up and it's jabby. He pulls the cue back almost as soon as he hits the white. While realistically it makes no difference on the cue ball (You've already hit it), it's just so much easier to lose control of where your cue tip is when you play that jabby motion, because it's almost as if you're afraid to strike the white too hard. I had that problem with my game forever, and it wasn't until I literally forced myself to get down to the practice table and practice my cue action that I got significantly better at playing the game.

Love watching the Maestro.

Top quality content Stephen 👍

Love these vids.

brilliant, just found the channel 👏

Great channel Stephen, make snooker great again ❤️

Amazing stuff Stephen 🙂👍🌟

Nice to see confident Hendry.

Hendry seems such a nice guy. Amazing his ability to transform into a cold blood killer when he was playing competitive snooker at the highest level. True winners mentality

That split 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Made my day, again.

Great channel Steve

I love watching Hendry play the pack smash from the blue with his signature backspin. The G.O.A.T!

Hats off to Stephen’s patience 🎉

Please keep going with this Stephen. So bright and fun

Hendry long pot first time. Its unfortunate he had sight issues he'd still be there in the elite playing alongside Higgins o sullivan trump Mark Williams etc its good to see he hasn't changed always attacking and positive and entertaining. Met Stephen such a nice guy to . Has nothing but great advice and positive words in the other top players. He changed the game for the better

Fabulous !

This is great.

He is very snappy in his motion

Another brilliant video, picking up some good snooker tips, is there a chance you can do a cue tip on improving blind pocket potting please

Beautiful split

Great shot splitting the pack like that! Too easy to over screw and miss contacting the pink I always found.

5:54 "stop that Stephen" 🤣

Tip closer to white while addressing, pause on back swing, and as Stephen said smooth delivery and play 'through' the ball Chris is 'stabbing' it a bit, very good efforts though, better than I could do, I got all the theory but no application!!!! lol

Well done that man 🖖💯

What a split Hendry 🤩

Lovely lesson, Chris has to find that right cue delivery power which is a matter of time and practice honestly. The flaw however is his head moving right on the delivery, he doesn't stand up immediately or jerk up when he cues, but he does not keep his head still when he strikes. 2:41 he is perfectly still, smooth arm movement and then he moves up while his arm drives the cue. Fix that and you are golden!!

Another great video Stephen, thank you. Can you do a video on the "sighting eye", I'm right handed but my left eye is my sighting eye with the result that I have this awful "wanking gesture" cue action. If I play left handed my forearm is vertical but I have no "feel".

Great stuff Stephen , loving your channel !

*"I mean, you pretty much can't play it better than that. It's... fabulous."* 🤣

I wonder if Hendry knows how many lives he's changed and inspired what a real sporting hero! No one not even ronnie could take away his crown! original top dog.

This channel 👏👏👏

that was tremendous 😂

Loved seeing Hendry smile on that last shot - legend!

I clearly remember a young baby-faced Stephen missing a deciding pot against Steve Davis back at the start of his professional televised career. What a fine talented man he became.

Great to see Stephen helping lesser players. My biggest take from this was the potting angle. Im still unsure if im doing this properly... I look for the ghost ball not the actually strike point..is this wrong?

The man is not only.a great player he is literally legendry. When I try to play even when I'm play good I wish I was even 30% as good as he is I'm lucky if I get a 41 Break and that's me being generous

Everything on this channel is a gem, thanks Stephen, the G.O.A.T!

This channel is starting to blow up! Really good to see these t!ps from Stephen, it's like free lessons and t!ps from the Legend himself! Cheers Stephen 👌🏽👍🏼

Hendry is a natural at this

Still got it Stephen, class is permanent

Snooker is a fabulous sport but it is the type of sport that so many celebrities enjoy but it isn't always transparent. I would go celeb hunting, James Maddison, Ronnie Wood, Stephen Fry, Paddie the Baddie, Joe Calzaghe, The Neville brothers, Carl Froch and many more. Send out an email to get them on your channel pal. Great content.

Classic example of the biggest problem in trying to improve I.e. someone thinking they're listening but not actually implementing the advice. He didn't slow down his cue delivery at all, even though he maybe felt as though he had. So difficult to implement advice properly without a coach 😅

Can't wait till Steve Davis and JP do episodes!

Champ has still got it, amazing skills

Don't crush the poor fella with 8 red opened up! Nice shot, though, Stephen! Love your videos!

in my younger days i found that when i had access to a table for 15-20 hours a week my snooker improved

I started watching you play snooker in the mid 90s when I was still of primary school age and I've been a fan since. Would you ever consider running a draw with the prize being a 1 on 1 lesson like this with yourself? It would definitely result in a huge amount of interest.

did you make up this challenge off the top of your head Mr. Hendry? great stuff

Future cue tip idea. Potting a ball tight on the cushion. E.g when the Black is tight on the back cushion

thanks

Wow really nyc video

Bring ronnie to play tough table challenge

Chris Hughes head was not still when he was playing the shot. He was often close to potting the ball, but missed because his head moved.

Stephen I hope your able to get Ronnie in one of your videos. 🙏🏻

Glad to see that he has a KZfaq channel as I have been around him a handful of times and he has always been nothing but nice to me although I suppose it was because I was a little kid he would probably just turn around and tell me to F##k off now

I played for 20 years and learned how to hit every shot on a pool table , but the biggest thing I’ve learned was how to get on line , it’s nice to see hendry telling people to go look at the potting line ,and come back without taking your eyes off it , my buddy who is a great snooker player said to me one day “ you know why your missing that cut down the rail , your just guessing go look at it” then I went and looked at the potting angle came back without taking my eyes off it then it clicked, you can see your cue ball in your parifial vision and you stop when it lands on your hip (cue arm hip) walk straight in on that line drop straight down on that line , once your down then you can look at your cue ball , stroke through that line , once you do this for a while your not guessing and shooting at the ball your really hitting that line !! It sets up a hole pre shot routine helps with nerves , only works up to a certain angle then I use Steve Davis tip instead of gohst ball , once you have landed on your hip amagine too vertical lines from the aiming point and one the width of a ball aim for the centre in between the to lines now you have to move slightly to get your hip on the new line then walk in to your shot stepping right on the line get down then you can look at the cue ball, always maintain about three feet from the table to allow to step in on your line, and when walking back to the cue ball keep your body square to the aiming point , don’t turn you body so that you have to turn your head , lastly use the centre of your body as a starting point for reference always, for example if you have a dead straight shot stand centre body looking that ball straight in the hole chalk up here! Think about position , once you have that all figured out lock in on that aiming point then move to your hip looking at the cue ball with you parrifial vision ( should just be a little shuffle left or right depending on which arm you shoot with ) walk straight into that line with the same foot you shoot with get down all without taking you eye of that spot, then you can look at your cue ball , if your stoke is good and you can play well you should be able to close your eyes and pot it!! I’ve made many in a row looking my freinds in the eye! In takes a while to get good at this and make it look like a dance instead of a robot but it’s huge!!

Question: What is the last thing you look at before striking the cue ball? You say keep your eye on the potting angle, does this mean you never look at the cue ball? All the best Champ!

I am in no way qualified to comment, but I did notice the Chris lifted his head just before he struck the cue ball, whereas Stephen kept his head perfectly still. Is this similar to golf where you need to keep your head still whilst striking the ball?

Its not a fair challenge Hendry :D The pink was touching the pack on your shot while on Hughes' shot there was like 1/3rd of an inch space

8 wasn't bad but 11+ was class!!

He kept lifting his head while delivering the que .. a lot of people do it or have head movement while down but when told about it can’t stop it as they don’t know there doing it there self it’s very hard to stop

hi Stephen When are you getting ronnie to tough table challenge

Chris could miss a red by 1/2 an inch and say "it's not miles away"

He's actually pretty good to consistently get that close is pretty hard.

Please can we see Stephen Hendry do the Hendry’s wall drill

The professionals should also show what they carry in their cue cases

Hughes has the voice of John Terry

Enjoying your videos and tips! Could you tell me what the practice routine was that kept Neil at the table for 4 hours? I had a similar experience myself recently 😢 Thanks Shaun

When you find the potting point, are you aiming the centre of the cue ball right at it?

Ronnie won’t be invited. Great channel Stephen love it

👏👏👏

thats just brilliant not cocky at all haaa
