can we see you play and chat with Efren Reyes

and Earl Strickland

[@symphony_vk]

that would be the best

Great idea. Two of the GOATs in cue sports. We could finally see Efren on a snooker table.

[@Atilla8huno]

what a healthy, sarcastic chat! love it

[@gurney2931]

Very good. Stephen might have won the game but I think Andy wins it with his, "He's a bit younger than Ebdon was when he smashed you" quip. As somebody else has said, I think Chris Melling would be a great guest, a good lad and he can play anything.

[@sirskippalot]

Stephen adopting the ol "potts" technique of talking andy into bad shots 😂

[@shellsbignumber2]

Pool, especially 9 ball is surprisingly very hard game. As soon as you bump into a player who really knows their way round a 9 ball table you are in big trouble. I used to be a really good club player, then one of the countries top 9 ball players came along to play an exhibition and he wiped the floor with me and everyone else at the club.

[@seanscanlon9067]

But that is the opponent who is difficult, not the game. Yes my money would always be on the top-notch 9-ball player to beat a top-notch snooker player at 9-ball, but the snooker player will not look out of place and will still be competitive, yet it is far less likely if you flip things. Yet still several snooker players and former snooker players have successfully made the transition over to 9-ball.

[@Sharivari]

I know it's an unpopular opinion on this channel, but pool on a professional level is harder than most think.

[@seanscanlon9067]

It's not, it's just that no matter the opponent, as long as they are fairly decent then they still have a chance of competing against players better than them. This video itself kind of proves it because despite no longer being in his prime, I would still expect Stephen to convincingly beat Andy at snooker and yet Andy is competitive against him at pool.

[@Cjbentleyy]

​@@seanscanlon9067 He's not saying it's harder than snooker, he's just saying people underestimate how hard pool can be

[@pkchris8211]

@@andrasszabo1570 So I'm only 2 years into getting into Snooker and not so much pool (hence why I'm at this channel). But I'm in the UK where I'm guessing the common format typicallyfound in pubs is English pool with the red and yellow balls. Literally never seen 9 Ball played anywhere near me

[@andrasszabo1570]

@@pkchris8211 Yeah, the UK might be the exception and China, both got their own cue sport. But anywhere else pool is the dominant cue sport and 9-ball is the most widely played format due to its simplicity. I've played pool all over Europe, but have rarely seen a table for any other cue sport.

[@gerv55]

Some pool tournaments you have to nominate pocket and ball so it rules out flukes. If any other ball gets potted or your nominated ball doesn't go into the nominated pocket a foul is called.

[@respectedgentleman4322]

[@paulriggall8370]

As per usual, a fantastic episode. Dunno what is going on with the thumbnail - is it for halloween?

[@seanscanlon9067]

9:00 should have placed the cue ball much closer to the one ball and aimed at the nine ball as if the one was not there.

[@samuelgarrod8327]

Ok, Minnesota Fats 😂

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@samuelgarrod8327 It has nothing to do with playing ability and just common sense. The further the cue ball has to travel before contacting the first ball of the combination, the more likely you are to miss making the ball. If the ball you were trying to pocket was six inches from the pocket and the ball you were trying to hit into it to make the combination was six inches away from that, if after a foul you had the cue ball in hand, you do not have to be Minnesota Fats to realise that you do not place the cue ball down the other end of the table. You place it close to the first ball of the combination to narrow the margin of error. Like I said, common sense.

[@bengilbert31]

Awesome andy acting like hes a top player is just hilarious hes a legend the galeforce love him 😂

[@nsharony]

The rule is not to pot the balls in numeric order. You have to hit them in numeric order. It doesn't matter what ball gets potted

[@tonepleb]

I think Andy’s buy in by Barry to the USA open has left him a little deluded as to his pool ability. That woulda been an easy 10k for Joe Rogan! 😂

[@CallumRobertson-du3yi]

Also how about Peter Ebdon, I know he retired because of back or neck problems? But even a chat would be nice, especially since you said you believe he had the weirdest cue action.

[@Drones_and_more]

You are at least a no2 in the Gloved Hendry League . . . .

[@CallumRobertson-du3yi]

I'd like to see you play an 8-Ball match with someone like say Ronnie, after one of you's misses, a Pool pro like Gareth Potts would describe where you went wrong, and how he'd have approached the shot. Then get Gareth and say Karl Boyes to play a frame of Snooker and same idea, after a miss etc, you explain how you'd have approached it.

[@lakmeister]

Goldstein was pants...missed every hard shot and poor temperament!! Crap on his own table!!! 😂😂😂

[@davidmellish3295]

The rules displayed are not correct. You DO NOT have to pot the balls in numerical order, you just have to hit the lowest numbered ball on the table, you can pot any ball in any order as long as you've hit the lowest numbered ball first

[@KeithJawahir]

plenty of tables around, I guess it depends on what part of the UK you're in. And from a pool player, 9-ball is probably the worst game. I personally much prefer 8-ball and 10-ball. One pocket is a great game if you're into that sort of thing, straight pool/14.1 might be the most familiar to a snooker player.
