Neil Robertson Vs Stephen Hendry In The Ultimate Snooker Skills Challenge

[@dannydude007321]

Love how when the Cue Tips logo fades in at the end you're just waiting for a classic Hendry miss to see out the video

[@PlayMoreGolf-RipOff]

Should fade out to STEPHEN LEE

[@mrLeejones]

how neil robertson has only won one world title with his talent is crazy, here's to next season him regaining his form too

[@KickassUncle]

He's just too dumb.

[@aaronmunden3069]

All good having talent but snooker has a massive psychological factor.

[@KickassUncle]

@@aaronmunden3069But Neil is seriously uneducated and stoopid.

[@TimoWilders]

As Neil rightfully demonstrates, winning these challenges against Stephen by not just outplaying but maybe even more so, by outtalking Stephen. 😂 if you *are* the one talking all the time no one can distract you by talking too much😂😂

[@mrb018538]

Great episode lads. Neil Robertson is such a cool lovely guy. It's great to see the people behind the cue. What a player he is 👏

[@pavelskosopalovs9514]

I was just enjoying Neil's technique there. His cueing is sooooo smooth and straight, making almost every shot so easy.

Neil is one of my favorite players. Hes just been having an off time right now and it happens. He will pull out of it. He has a lot of years left in this game. Great video as usual stephen. Im one of the rare snooker players from the u.s. lol. Not sure why its not popular here. I wish it was.

Really enjoyed the conversation throughout this.

Yes, they are nice guys - till you play them!

[@tonynaccarato4751]

Stephen is always a great host, when he misses, he cracks me up, such a brilliant snooker player in the 90's, fantastic program, always evolving.

[@MrDarkmenace1]

I've been watching your channel for over a year now, and I have to say what great entertainment it is. Never yet seen a dull video, and learned a few things to take to my own game also.

[@petercampbe11]

what a guy Neil is - loved watching him play over the years - hopefully he gets back to his best soon

[@pa-mo]

Robertson is the best potter when he's on like this. Great episode he's one of my favorites to watch, so strong and smooth stroke. More world titles for Robertson coming for sure.

[@mikelawrence30]

I love Neil Robertson man, he's such a chill chatty guy, and an immense snooker player. My favourite player on the tour, great to see him on the Cue Tips channel again!

[@tomk5066]

This just shows how good Neil is when he just keeps it simple and tries to pot everything he sees

[@countbasi4680]

and Hendry two separate times brings up that he has to qualify for the Crucible in the middle of Neil's attempts in the first two challenges - and he crushes both still!

[@mattatkinson1819]

One of the best episodes yet!

Still lacks STEPHEN LEE Or DING DONG MACADANGDANG

[@AminAramoon]

Great series and episode. Neil is such a lovely character, hope he finds his form and back to winning again

[@Ally.MacMillan]

Well played Neil, agree with others I'm amazed he hasn't had more world titles. Fantastic pool player too, which may just have helped him with a couple of these challenges, by seeing patterns more easily. That, coupled with his cue action and technique, one of the best out there. Hope he gets on well this year. Brilliant stuff on this channel, Stephen, keep up the great work.

[@mixmasterdodger]

The major tv networks are missing a trick here....Mr Hendry presnting a new style big break game show, with his routines and Tough table challenge would be awesome

[@cedarstuff]

Yeah, plus seeing snooker players far more relaxed lets us see the "characters" more. Can only help drive engagement in the tournaments, which will be desperately needed when Ronnie gives it up.

[@entrace1]

Major networks would find a way to ruin this. Im so glad Hendry does this!

[@TooMuchInfoSir]

@@entrace1I agree, why commercialise it when Hendry has full creative control right now. Love the channel. Dont move to tv, which means a Sky subscription and 1000 ads. Ta x

[@tacticalchunder1207]

Eh, it’s probably gaining more viewers online, younger people all stream stuff rather than watch live tv now. This is keeping snooker more modern. Would be nice if this channel/type of content was shouted out during some of the tv tournaments though.

[@richET11]

And thank you Steven for doing this whole CueTips thing. It's legendary work in my eyes! Which is rather fitting seems you are a living legend of the sport yourself mate! 😇

[@Roginator007]

Stephen, for everyone on KZbin, thanks for making these videos ❤

[@schlicktown]

Neil is such a good lad! hopefully he will be back on his game soon

[@ZenCA72]

Really enjoyed that, great stuff lads.

[@sebastianschwald1625]

In terms of talking, being humble, and having a good laugh, Neil is just simply one of the best guys on tour! It‘s unfortunate that his game sometimes isn‘t as exciting, especially when he prolongs his shot time but he‘s an amazing character for the game!

[@danjeory3659]

I will say this now - no-one else will come close to matching Neil Robertson's performance there. Phenomenal

[@OscarGonzalez-vg3cp]

Guy, my second comment... a lots of talk ,laugh and still making nice shots this video it was entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks Stephen and Robertson. Life bless you. 2025 my second year into this game Snooker. Love it. Bye-bye. Oscar , Canada.

[@carlsmythe9838]

Great video, some interesting chat too. I love Neil, not only a great snooker player, but says it how it is. He will be back winning again soon I am sure, and maybe qualifying for the worlds could do him some good (thinking of Ding, he had to qualify one year, then got to the final!).

[@brentsheils]

Really hope Neil gets back in the winners circle soon. He plays the game how you want it to be played. Top man

[@rossphillips9369]

Best cue action the game has seen, incredible player! The snooker game needs a strong Neil Robertson.

Great to meet you in Marks club, would love to see you with some of the old legend's and characters, Reardon, Griffiths, Dale etc :)

[@christopherzhao3135]

Thinking Neil has to qualify for world championship this year is absolutely crazy😅

absolutely brilliant episode Stephen, Neil is a class act and it's hard to believe he's only won one world title, wish him well for the rest of the season

[@flawlessmsc]

I'm surprised we didn't see more of the Safety Challenge from other content creators. That's a fun and challenging one.

[@quiks1lv3rgaming36]

[@TheCuggsmeister]

What a great player, Neil is and yet so few titles. It just shows you how small the margins are between success and failure are when you play at their level.

[@DavidGreening]

Yoy talking about the future of snooker reminded me of how we saw three snooker halls close here in Adelaide soon after Neil won his first world championship. All cue sports need better marketing here in Australia. Great video guys. Thank you

Neil comes across as such a great guy. Think he will have a great career if he wants in the media. As well as making the game look so easy! Just from watching this video I’ll be cheering him on to do well in the 2024 season.

[@Benjamin256_76]

Anyone else noticed that in the rolit second before he hits a shot in a challenge, Stephen's eyes have that same look we saw when he was still dominating? Stephen was such an incredible weapon.

[@Monicaelsiwidy-wg9vr]

Loved this episode Stephen playing so well 👏 hoping Neil will be back to best in live play soon, looking good 👍

I always love the fact that we still get to see vintage "king of the crucible" Stephen for 5-6 shots in every one of these... Neil is such a talent, you almost wonder how things are not going for him this year..like how?

[@tonywallace8358]

What about this idea. The letter in the first challenge (currently S) should change depending on who wins it. So it should now be changed to N then other players can battle to try and change the letter. it could be tricky with some letters but would be fun.

Sounds good!

[@MrBruce0777]

I always wanted to practice where you place a napkin or some sort of marker where you plan for your cue ball to end up at after your shot as to proof it was not accidental for your next layup shot.

Yip. He's just someone that wants to win. That's why even doing this is like a kick in the balls for him when he's outclassed. It's worse because he was considered the best in the world at one point. I can understand. I wonder if he'll learn to deal with it better while doing this.

[@benlachenal771]

@@TheycallmeMrWonka I suspect he deals with it better on camera than off, which says something, as it's palpable how pissed off with himself he is. It's something I certainly admire about him and probably goes some way to explaining why he was so successful in the 90s!
