Judd Trump REVEALS How To Pot A Long Red (Plus The Tough Table Challenge!)

Judd is back with Stephen for another episode, but this time he's giving his very own Cue Tip! Judd shows off his incredible long potting and cue power by demonstrating his ridiculous screw-back long pot. Stephen can't quite believe his eyes! Judd even puts on the Cue Cam to give you all his perspective for this shot. After that, Judd takes on the Tough Table Challenge, can he beat Stephen or Mark Williams? You'll have to watch until the end to find out! Do keep sending in your Tough Table Challenge attempts on KZbin, Instagram or Twitter. We've seen a few of you out there having a go already, so thanks so much for getting involved, we'll hopefully feature these soon!

You’ll never see Ronnie on this channel

You're doing a great service for snooker. And I can't think of anyone in a better position to do it. Your team deserve praise too. Thanks to all of you for doing this. I'm sure in no time your reach will exceed what the TV channels are achieving.

He's proving to be very popular, and understandably so too.

[@franksfiddle9031]

Completely agree ... he's probably doing more for snooker with this new channel than he even did as a fantastic player and champion

[@tacticalchunder1207]

Yeah, I was looking for content like this a few years ago when I used to play a lot with my dad, and was surprised to find very little/poor content on it.

[@theallseeingmaster]

What is cooler than Stephen Hendry chatting you up, keeping score and spotting colors for you? I cant think of anything.

[@smo4082]

This is a quality channel. Who would have thought the superstar we watched on TV during the 90s would be making class content like this for us to watch. Take a bow, Stephen.

[@owenbrad]

Watching him knock in those first two deep-screw long reds was incredible. Anyone who plays snooker will understand how obscenely difficult it is to knock in a ball so far away, even plain ball - but to screw back to baulk? I doubt any other player in the world could do that 2 for 2 first try. Even Ronnie. Truly a remarkable player and clearly has much more to offer.

[@johnwedgbury6817]

Yeah Ronnie's a serial winner. The flashy shots are great to watch, but making every shot easier by having the white on a string is more impressive. Plus playing for the black in that situation is a more likely way to win matches. Hes incredibly talented and can play shots nobody else in the game can. But a great? Not really. 3 majors? His talent deserves more, but his style, ego, showmanship, whatever it is doesn't allow him to be a great. Before anyone says 'what have I won'? The answers nothing, but with judds talent I would have won more than 1 world title.

[@abubakardar7922]

It becomes easy once you do it. The first time I screwed back from distance, I couldn't believe I did that. 😂. The tip of the cue was also a factor in the shot along with the cloth and especially the timing. You have to dig through the cue ball while pushing it forward. Power is less of a factor here.

[@stitcha123]

@@johnwedgbury6817 haha. The old ‘oh yeah, what have you won?’ As if that’s a retort to anything. By that logic you could never criticise anyone unless you have performed better in their exact field. And with that, I announce Adam Duffy as a brilliant snooker player as he competes on the main circuit and I don’t.

[@SuperChalkster]

i totally agree but they are playing on awesome tables. i mean even judd couldnt do that on the tables down my club, lol,

[@owenbrad]

@@SuperChalkster definitely, he wouldn't have it bouncing off the baulk cushions at my club either. Regardless, the consistency of the potting is obscene

[@heavenlyactsatheavycost7629]

5:11 never thought we'd ever see a Judd Trump PoV cam. Awesome stuff. Hope that Matt Selt's attempt will be coming up soon on the channel; really enjoyed the over-the-table interview with him.

[@stephenmcdonald7385]

100% agreed

[@gregorious123]

screw position was surprisingly higher up cue ball than I thought. Good insight from the POV angle

[@Wuzzysbrand06]

@@gregorious123 It looks like he doesn't quite hit where he's aiming on the final stroke if you pause the video and go frame by frame. Judd is kind of known for this though. I think he hits slightly lower and more to the left than he's aiming.

[@pianostool44]

I think Judd not cueing straight gives him extra power. He arcs the cue in the backswing and it gives him a freer arm...

[@erwinvlaeminck4856]

Great stuff, nice to see Judd so comfortable and relaxed. You bring the best out of your guests. And you're still on top with your incredible 82 break. Love this channel! Greetings from Belgium, Stephen.

To be fair these interviews with Stephen have completely changed my view on him for the better. I had only really seen snippets of him on social media before

[@lazaglider]

Comes from someone that does really follow the personalities or drama of the sport, could you allude to why the guy may not be too popular?

[@Whatdoyouwant904]

From a fan who‘s just recently started to follow the game, why does Judd get such a bad rep?

[@bountyhuntermk2520]

Judd is an absolute legend of the game

[@theshutyourmouthguy1478]

Honestly no idea. Been following snooker for a while and don’t get the hate for Selby and Trump. Selby gets haters because he plays slower than Ronnie, and Trump gets hate because he is less expressive than Ronnie. Everyone is less ‘something’ than Ronnie and cops hate for it. Specifically, Trump is a frighteningly exciting player who has, over the last few years, begun to rein in his cowboyishness on the table, which has led to better results. His recent form hasn’t been great but that’s nothing more than a loss of form that every athlete goes through. Trump haters, shut your mouths.

[@tacticalchunder1207]

I’ve been looking for snooker content like this for years!

[@darthveraa]

Thanks Stephen! Really enjoyed the Judd POV Cam, but one shot is simply not enough. I'd love to see one of his trademark tough breaks through that one. To see him eyeing some weird plant or a tight pot and probably even hear his comments would have been something special. He's such an inventive and thinking player. Well, probably he has his secrets :)

I’ve tried a couple of times. Might record the next one and see how I do. I think I could beat Williams 😂

[@allistermcginlay6476]

The most interesting thing about snooker greats/legends is they are genuine geniuses at the game. At their peak they all have abilities far above the norm and to a man like Stephen Hendry having a talent like Trump to screw back from two thirds of the table without effort was something he truly admired, yet Hendry's abilities on the snooker table was equally important and impact-full, his ruthlessness, fearlessness and ability to pot long balls and get a sizeable break under the most stressful situations made him the most dominate force over a decade, when the class of 92 were at their most fearless aswell, tells you the character of the man. What's a pity is that these legends all start with that fearlessness and end up with baggage that influences their game, it reduces motivation and makes the game less fun, the class of 92 had each other to create longevity, but each have suffered from this issue, but have played through it.

[@toziassmitt]

In my opinion Hendrys brilliance was, in large part, mental. Almost all the top players can make shots, as you said, it’s that drive to take the shots on- in Hendrys case his attacking play, his ethos of always taking on the long red to always put pressure on his opponent. It was never an easy day at the office playing against Hendry, and that invisible stress and pressure is what won him world championships

[@Wayne-qz5no]

Not true! He never dominated the class of 92,not when they hit 22YO in 1996.Hendry was happy dominate a slightly above average player and bottler Jimmy White.Judd has spoken about it how Hendry couldn't handle getting beat by the class of 92..Name one great player Hendry beat in a world final? Hendry was done at 30 years old due to the high risen standards,or was it YIPS? 😉👍

[@toziassmitt]

@@Wayne-qz5no Hendry was done at 30 due to a multitude of reason, least of all being he lost the cue he’d been playing with since he was 14. Then factor in that just a few years before that he had extreme marital problems that led to his divorce just 2 years after he retired, and was in financial disrepair. It really is quite immature silliness to come on here and talk with so little knowledge of the actual facts. Hendry dominated in a fashion we’ve hardly seen since- even including Ronnie and his meltdown play style

Mr Hendry, this channel is superb and the tough table challenge is awesome. I’m lucky enough to have a 6ft snooker table at home (that needs a cushion set and new cloth), that gets brushed and generally looked after. One thing I know nothing of is cue care and cleaning. I could be asking a shit question here but I don’t suppose I’m the only one who wants to know how the Pro players care for their cues
