This is my new favourite channel on KZbin from my all time favourite snooker player. It's the channel we need, not the one we deserve! 😂

[@craigmorgan4676]

It's no wonder brother he is THE goat atm,until Ronnie could get the magic 8?🤨👁👁👁🤔🤔🤔

[@obi-potobi790]

@@craigmorgan4676 Nah, Ronnie's the goat now he's got 7 n is level with Steven. Fantastic channel though.

[@samwh.9611]

@@obi-potobi790 I don't think it's about how many world titles you have, but how consistently you win them! Ronnie has even admitted this in his interview with Stephen. Ronnie has longevity but Hendry's playing was more concentrated within the 1990s. In their prime I think Ronnie would be no match for Hendry

[@craigmorgan4676]

@@obi-potobi790 agreed 👍 brother its brilliant 👏🏼 👌

[@obi-potobi790]

@@samwh.9611 Agreed it's not just World titles. But Ronnie owns all the records now, apart from youngest World Champion and even he'll struggle with that one now.. I just don't know what else he has to do to be classed as the goat. Win an 8th I suppose haha.

[@frankberryfilms]

So, to the people saying he had more than two attempts at the difficult table challenge... The man leaves the bit in where he misses the entire pack, trying to split them. What does this tell you? He isn't trying to impress you (he has already done all the impressing required - and more - decades ago!) Cracking channel, this! Love it

[@mossy8885]

I 100% agree. He's shown loads of misses on this channel. Snooker players call fouls on themselves, can't see him cheating

[@everythingbobbywolfe]

So correct. He has 7 world championships. He certainly doesn't have to prove himself.

[@caseyquirke9903]

I think he did really well cos he was on his own, the others have had him talking to them so it makes sense that he would get a high break. He is also top 3 greatest players ever so it also makes sense that he's good at snooker lol

[@sawyermaitland]

Deliberately went to cannon the pink half-ball and still ended on a red #GOAT

[@dazmill697]

Kudos for keeping it real by not editing out the errors, I see a side to SH I never thought I would.

[@chuckjones1358]

Hi Stephen, massive snooker fan from USA here. Would love to see you have USA player Ahmed Aly Elsayed on the channel when he starts his 2 year tour card next season. Us American snooker fans are very proud of him.

[@TerenceKoo]

Thank you for keeping the blooper in! Best laugh I've had all day!

[@abhisargarg95]

Almost all the tips here come with an exception of 'Unless you're Judd Trump' :) Great video Stephen, as always! Love this channel

[@paulriggall8370]

It’s incredible to see how, in the space of just a few months, you’re a real KZbin natural. It’s nothing compared with your achievements I know but you have a great channel here. Cheers for the tips Mr Hendry 👍

[@smokeddd]

snooker was missing a Great snooker player to Coach us , and here we are with 7 times world Championship , couldn't be happier thank you for every minute posting on this channel , much love

[@jazzbully1751]

Would love to see a live stream where we could ask questions in real time. Another fantastic video. Thanks Stephen! 👍

[@KickassUncle]

Yes, mid-session of tournaments interactive live-stream.

[@Abdullah-is7rk]

I think that's the best video on this channel. Liked the intensity, covering a lot of shots in such a short video is really impressive. Keep up the good work. 🙌

[@thepunisher1951]

best videoes are pro interviews, obviously. (no offense)

[@christopherrichardson5352]

I agree Abdullah. This is the best one so far. Great tips to use in practice and competition.

[@29memyselfandi]

@@thepunisher1951 yeah but these are great for those of us trying to improve our game.

[@Abdullah-is7rk]

@@thepunisher1951 none taken, every one has their own opinion.

[@thefoxhat6163]

Thank you. You just proved what I've been saying all along. "Stephen Hendry doesn't smash the pack up, he carves it up. Runs off reds to loosen the pack & stay on black or pink until he makes the opportunity to smash it.".

[@smo4082]

Who would have thought when watching Stephen play in the 90s, that he would be giving us mere mortals tips on how to play.

[@9700am]

Cracking channel. The tips are great, not too technical. I really enjoy the interview/frames. And seeing the missed shots is so reassuring, and watching Stephen’s laughter. Keep the tips coming, please.

[@craighull5074]

Watching him on TV what a miserable sod he really was, very rarely smiled or cracked a joke just got on with it. But this channel and his other side coming out is brilliant. Must admit its one of my favourites on KZbin and picked up some really good tips

[@mightymolefe5871]

Sir. Thank you. The camera quality is phenomenal, Content always on par and your honesty is the reason why I'm still here. I salute you Sir.

[@managesnooker7777]

My fav pro player...STEPHEN.💙

[@simoncooper913]

He knows his onions. Good stuff. Enjoying the content.

[@craigwoodward7638]

Stephen this is a brilliant channel. You are engaging, easy to listen to, charismatic and a fine interviewer. You never talk down to your audience and the respect that players have for you is evident. I have a question: Do you have a brother who was world champion in the 90's he looks like you but was really miserable and intense.

[@Hassan87.]

Excellent video, BBC/ITV need to include cue tip segments in their snooker broadcasts

[@chriswalsh3149]

Great video on break building if you are Stephen Hendry. But what about us mortals who have reds all over the place, no colours on spots and can't get a break of 20?! Basic shot choice would be great! Love the video as always! Thanks for your hard work!

[@ju.snooker]

Good tip there about the top spin shot into the pack. Wish we saw it more in professional play

[@PM-fs2eg]

10/10 for showing where to hit the cueball !!!

[@LiveBhangra]

Hendry has evolved into such an interactive chap compared to his playing days when he was rightfully in his zone and his zone only.

[@mossy8885]

I really hope this channel will help and inspire kids to become future champions. I would have loved the advice that's on this channel when I was a teenager

[@kennethcrouse6212]

As if we are getting all of this coaching from one of the greatest people to ever pick up a cue. FOR FREE!

[@christianchapman9420]

Snooker fan for over 20 years .I used to tape all matches from BBC onto vhs tapes 😊. How lucky to be able to watch the great hendry on my phone in this way ❤

[@user-le7ws9uo7x]

Unbelievable, love how you dont edit you video, only found your channel and im clued to it, fair play steven true legend.

[@johnaskew3458]

This video is made even better by keeping in the shots that have a less than perfect result, especially the failed 2 cushion from blue into the pack. 👌🏻

[@declanmulraney1363]

Absolutely loving these.... Keep them coming please....

[@danielstevens7]

Absolutely love these videos, you make it look so easy!!!!

Stephen, watching your content brings me absolute joy. Thank you!

“It’s a shot I’ll say I invented but I probably didn’t but looks spectacular when you pull it off “ hahah fantastic, loving the channel, when you doing Williams yourself vs Jimmy Bullard tubes on golf life

[@iloveesr]

Love your channel, keep up the good work!

[@vxrdrummer]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, along with Tiger, and Sir Alex, Stephen is my absolute hero.

[@simonwood6008]

So good Stephen. So user friendly. Well done.

This channel is amazing. I hope it grows and grows.

[@garyw1971]

Another Great lesson Stephen ! Much appreciated! 👊👊👊

Looks like an ultra fast and smooth cloth. Once, again a good no-nonsense guide knowing too what's been applied to the cue ball to achieve effect. Thanks Stephen.

We need a clear up and win the frame counter. Great stuff as per Stephen - loving the channel!

Love the channel Stephen! Would be incredible if you could cover playing with centre cue ball strike vs helping side. All the best mate, best channel on KZbin by miles.

[@mikebest634]

Nice insight to looking at all the different ways to get the reds open from multiple positions .Great channel and very good quality .

Brilliant channel, brilliantly explained by a master craftsman - take a bow Stephen sir.

[@sj460162]

This has to be the best channel to learn...Free advise from a 7 times champion. I like to play the top spin shot to open reds like you suggested Stephen..it just seems the right shot on a club table to use the momentum.

[@alimustafa2163]

Masterclass advice 👌 big thanks 😊

no hendry video without "try and clear up and WIN THE FRAAAEME!" lovely tips for medium players this vid!

[@adamliston4823]

Fantastic Channel..Don't miss an episode. Jimmy or Ronnie on there next please!

[@99muddy99]

Absolutely 1st class instruction I feel as though the champ is my buddy, such is his easy-going delivery. The camera work is professional, premium quality. Moreover, Stephen doesn’t “beg”for likes or subscriptions, which is refreshing. I guess Einstein didn’t need to, either. Brilliant, Stephen. Thanks !

I wish I had the talent of a snooker player. Such a beautiful game
