This channel was started just over 12 months ago and already has 32 million views. I hope the snooker world appreciates what you’re doing to expand the reach of the sport that we love. Your nomination is richly deserved.

[@chummychummy7651]

We are so privileged to have an absolute, living legend giving us all tips.. Thank you Sir..

[@adelebennet1638]

You explain it very clearly in a calm way. That's so nice about these videos. ❤

[@MalcolmMXTaylor]

Good luck with the award!! Am loving the variety of guests you have on here as well as the tips too

[@mr2nut123]

I'm not even a massive snooker fan, but love these videos. Keep up the great work! It's awesome to see an old school legend doing these videos.

[@teleplayer7081]

You deserve the award...hands down!!!

[@leesuddick7543]

Really useful tips, especially the amount of side to use. Thanks for all the all the great videos, they have help me a lot with my snooker and good luck with the awards. 🤞

[@hamidreza447]

That "looking forward to many many more years" was extremely comforting. Thank you legend

[@MrDangleebles]

Back in the day I was a Davis fan and you came onto the scene spoiling it all for me - because you were so bloody good. Thanks for making these Cue Tips vids, even at my advanced age I'm able to learn and have definitely missed fewer sitters since paying more attention to my cue control. Good luck with the nomination - routing for you - which is not what I did in the 80's! 🙂

[@141poolplayer]

That table is beautiful. The black wood along with the green cloth and tan leather pockets just looks so nice.

[@juchetony1910]

they should have a "which pro has got the nicest snooker room at home" award. Mine goes to Stuart Bingham.

[@paaa2683]

Congrats on the nomination... I sincerely thank you Stephen for giving the world such a great channel! I really appreciate what you do. Self-made content is the way of the future, I really hope you enjoy making as much as I enjoy consuming. Best wishes from Australia.

[@rossmckeown8675]

Just recently worked out my cue action is not straight and is probably the biggest reason i miss sitters. Will be practicing that Balk Line tip. Great tips yet again!

[@samal8622]

Just literally had your issue but instead of fixing my “bad cueing”, I just tried to learn with spin and stuff. Trust me just put balls straight without worrying that you’re not feathering in the middle and play the shot.

[@richardr2703]

How did you work out your cue action is not straight? Any tips for investigating?

[@oogwaysenpai454]

@@richardr2703 Do as hendry said in the video, put the cueball on the brown spot and send it up and down the spots. If the cueball comes back to the right of your tip, you put unintentional right spin, if it comes to the left, you put left spin. If it comes straight back and hits your tip again, you're nice n straight

[@rossmckeown8675]

@@richardr2703 I was messing around potting straight blues into the middle pocket. When playing them softly I would pot 9 out of 10, when using a bit of power I would consistently miss. I then noticed the blues would end up hitting the right side of the pocket always. This means I'm hitting the cue ball slightly to the right which pushes it to the left which then pushes the blue to the right. Not sure why I'm doing this yet but I'm going to experiment in the club to see if i can work that out.

[@9700am]

The tip in the video says to strike slower and smoother. I’ll be trying it out this week.

[@shilbanushmahali6049]

I have no words to say but I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such tips.

[@brettrussell6207]

All your years of experience, thank you for showing us all these things to help us, and spread the sport around the world.

[@musicbro8225]

Well deserved! I love the opportunity to see the people behind the cues and hear their thoughts and get a glimpse of their personalities. It's a great gift to snooker fans!

[@Nyaauri]

Its because of this channel, i stopped pausing match videos to have a look at pro’s cue action. By the way its a delight to see him even when he misses the pot. Motivates me to improve my potting in a strange way.

[@ads998]

That's for all the awesome content Stephen, it's really appreciated. Just by the by, I have to say that a well-executed long blue of the spot has to be the most satisfying shot to play by far. I can't say that I get it right all that often, but when I do, I can see and feel where I've gone right. 😁

[@carlabrahams4403]

Thankyou Stephen,for your time,and wonderful, encouraging tips,too playing better snooker,may God-Bless you always.

[@stoatystoat174]

Well explained, thanks for including the misses :)

[@roadtonowhere497]

Two shots stick out in my mind as some of the best i ever played were blue off its spot from the jaws of the green pocket. As straight as can be and as far as can be. Very satisfying...one was to win a frame,the other a bonus lol

[@L1ghtOn3]

Stephen Hendry, taking snooker to the next level...AGAIN! The reach this has is worldwide, and it's in an instant, also the variety is fantastic, what a breath of fresh air for snooker! Keep up the good work. 👍

[@mzzzzz2179]
