Lots of helpful little comments from Neil during the break - seems to realise that thinking out loud is a massive help for anyone trying to understand his shot selection!

[@lukeharwood3922]

I really like Neil not just as a player but seems a really humble human being, I would love to see him add another world title as his talent and matchplay is worthy of it. Great work Stephen! 👍

[@johnsrabe]

Yes! Humble without being humble about his talent, if that makes sense.

[@castleanthrax1833]

@@johnsrabe Yes. Knowing that you are good at something, does not necessarily mean you lack humility.

[@rossc9748]

Comes across a top fella. Had some great times with my Australian cousins. Love a scrap, but don't mind getting you a beer afterwards 😅 I think robbo emphasises that in his game....wish him nothing but positive stuff

[@scottrushby1680]

Absolutely. Neil seems an absolute gent. And he really is world class…. Can’t wait to see Ronnie clear the tough table 😆

[@da_great_mogul]

I'm not so sure. He can't find that extra gear anywhere as much as the others when he needs it.

[@robertpickstone]

You just know that as nice as Stephen is being, he doesn’t want his high break to be beaten!

[@FormerCityFinancier]

Easily one of the best channels on KZbin! Can't imagine how expensive it would be to get this level of insight and training if we had to pay for it!

[@masudshah7405]

Atleast a tenner

[@jrjr4218]

I live in a country where snooker is still new, we're used to pool. So having channels like this and are free and full of knowledge, its really nice.

[@mrkolasa.]

I like Neil alot. Can see how much he respects you for listening to your advice about the break building. When the champ speaks you listen and learn. Great videos again Stephen👊

[@safakcivi9815]

Just love Stephen’s passion for the game, still has his cue in his hand even though he’s not playing the frame 😂

[@mehmetkemal7799]

This and his interview with you has made me a Robertson fan. Super nice dude who is just relentlessly competitive with all things snooker. love it

[@bjrnchrstn]

Love how Neil shares his breakbuilding thought process.

[@dhammarosi]

Great to get to hear the player's thought process on how they approach the shots and breakbuild!

[@steveblewer1202]

I love watching your channel, I look forward to your videos more than any other! I love the insight into the world of snooker from the man who brought the game into the modern age. I could have listened to you and Steve Davis for hours on the previous video. Your chatting with the legends of the game is fascinating!

[@jonwilson6077]

I learnt a bit about Alex Higgins in that video that I never would of known otherwise

[@Grampsteestyles]

Thank you Stephen for creating this channel, Good to see the players on a more chill and relaxed atmosphere...Loving your content💯%

[@corallaroc2946]

Great series! Thank you, Stephen! It's like watching a counter-attack with spoken-out thoughts from the player. Some unique insights there. :-)

[@FlyingScotsman2023]

Best sports channel on KZbin. Keep them coming Stephen, much appreciated.

[@crosscourttennis1796]

Best one yet, Neil is so great to listen to when he breaks down his snooker, it comes completely natural to him

[@Mustang_Click]

Neil is potentially my favourite guest you've had so far, just seems incredibly likeable and his insight into the game is really interesting. Can't wait for him to win a new title, I know its coming.

[@wayneplatts7733]

You can't help but love Neil, comes across as a really nice genuine fella, love his laugh after shots too, top video.

[@curtisgrindahl446]

These are a delight for anyone who follows the world of snooker. Thanks Stephen.

[@brianmullins5824]

Love this ,great hearing from the 2 great men on the thinking behind the shots❤️.

[@shaunhennessy603]

This is my new favourite channel. Great to see them having a laugh around the table 👍

[@AJediSurvivor]

Never expected it to be you on The Masked Singer. Good job 😁😁

[@samwh.9611]

Very good effort from Neil. He did well after his break slowly started to get messy, he doesn't seem like he thinks too far ahead on his shots as they were saying in the vid, but who am I to question the former World No. 1? 😂 Also, the annotations at the end came up before he hit his last shot so I knew he was gonna miss it at that stage lol. Great vid as always, this channel is really shooting off

[@minimorro7]

How is he world no.1 ?

[@samwh.9611]

@@minimorro7 he was no 1 before the Masters last week, I phrased it poorly admittedly, changed it there to avoid further confusion

[@minimorro7]

@@samwh.9611 he definitely wasn’t number 1 look at live rankings he hasn’t been world number 1 since 2015

[@wt5615]

Love this channel, being an Aussie was hoping Neil would pass you lol, thanks heaps for the great work you do, seeing players in a different light has made me appreciate them more, I use to have favourites, but lately not any more, your channel has given me insight into their game but more importantly who they are as people, bloody magic, cheers bro.

[@faraelor5847]

This video is a gift

[@m.f.1646]

Loving it. Snooker players always seem so cool and relaxed people.

[@dethspud]

That was a brilliant TTC run by Neil. I am enjoying these 😉

[@juchetony1910]

lovely break. And it's great to see them chatting about position and choices as he goes. You learn a lot from it.

[@itsmeben9867]

Stephen, you should try my version of the tough table challenge. So you put 2 red on top of each other at the 4 corner pockets Put 1 at the 2 middle pockets. With the 5 remaining put them in a bunch where the reds usually go. I know this may seem easy but it's not. Ps. You have to play with the rest/spider/Swan neck the entire time for a challenge! And can potentially any ball, any order! Hope you can understand this! Love the content!

[@jakewilding6742]

Never knew you could sing Stephen, you did great on the Masked Singer 😂

[@akinma]

Stephen Hendry, the Yoda of snooker: "Terrible I was."

[@jimborocks8372]

This is brilliant. Please keep them coming. Come on Ronnie and Jimmy!!

[@Chazie_]

Thanks Steven I’m loving these please keep doing em👍

[@alexpaic2984]

No 2nd try like anyone else before? Thank you again Stephen for such great content. Please keep the channel going

[@GeorgeMichaelTribute]

Super snooker channel. And hosted by a legend. Gonna have to start playing again!!

[@MDGolfaddict]

The channel gets better and better. Keep up the great work

[@aurigo_tech]

You can see enthusiasm in the players when presented with this, because it is a new challenge. Very good and enjoyable.

[@S1lverviper]

nice one! I love how Neil is partly nervous but still trying to play for the maximum as long as possible :D

[@richardwaldron1684]

I love hearing the decision making, it sheds some light on the type of things they're thinking during a match

[@itz_j012dan5]

Steven can I just say I watch every video of yours I love them great stuff. Also after watching your video with Steve Davis he was talking about elbow motion moving it to the left and right. This has help my game so much instead of keeping my elbow in line with my body shot I just tilt it to the right and I feel I can't miss... Great video and channel full of tips..🤘☺️

[@nickllama5296]

That cut on the black was NUUUUUUTS!! Great effort, Neil!

Great stuff. All good, no filler.

Stephen -- What a great Snooker channel you have here -- Love it :)

[@Mcqlfc]

Snooker is the only sport where you can not have a single favourite. I love watching Neil play as he is so attacking. Please get the rocket to do this!

[@1965deebee]

Great effort from Neil…and he gave us a commentary on the shots he was playing..😊 Just shows you how good Stephens 82 was !!!!!

[@TonyHammitt]

I'm getting a "star in a reasonably-priced car" vibe now. Love this content 😊

[@sjdover69]

Like all true pros, you can only really see how good they are when they are messing around. A couple of shots there were technically brilliant. And a nice guy too. Love this channel.

[@jeffhgv]

Great guys, great video, also a big up to the camera guys, excellent work.

[@bozstitch]

I'm really enjoying this YT channel, well done Stephen. Also just noticed that you've got the inimitable Lavvers on camera!! Nice one Lavvers! 😁

[@Juventinos]

the conversation he had with Stephen Hendry about break building.. i remember him bringing it up on the ronnie show, so funny.

[@bottlecap57]

A great effort! With a cue action like that u can't go far wrong👍

[@MChess288]

I love how Neil is already scanning the table during the intro lol

[@iainamurray]

Great to see someone so focussed on the challenge! Also interesting to hear different shot choice perspectives. I wonder why you didn't give him a second go like you did with the others.....

[@johnsrabe]

Probably time constraints. He went longer because he did well.

[@leemcqueen500]

Maybe because his score was much better than marks and Judds.

[@101RadioheadCovers]

Stephen is understandably very protective of his records these days. 😉

[@toziassmitt]

Maybe this was the second go

[@iainamurray]

@@leemcqueen500 There's another person on that list with more to lose....

Fantastic bloke and good approach to the break.

[@charlieharper6371]

I like how Stephen asks what you would do in a break when he was a master 😂

[@big_ron3585]

Neil has the best cue action I’ve ever seen, he looks solid behind every shot and never looks like missing

[@sierraecho774]

This channel is absolutely mint. Stephen this is amazing, please can you get Jimmy on. And maybe Stephen Lee

[@littleguysbigbusiness6109]

Great channel, im doing the tough table challenge as a routine now its like all the shots i dont like rolled into one.

[@pickersplayspop]

Love this. Nice to see my local club on there too.

[@darrenhadden1037]

That was impressive! What do you think Stephen wear the white glove for spotting colors? lol

[@robertfish4052]

The spotty scotty, with an 80s hair do really is the shaolin of snooker. They were terrified of him back in the day.

Class as usual 👌🏽

[@steveng5503]

Not a custom to the gravity over the equator and into the northern hemisphere! 🙄 I enjoy watch these. A relaxed knock about with a bit chitchat. ✌️👍🇬🇧

[@pushingtin207]

In 1986 I attended the World Championships...still have the program and seat tickets. In one's life you don't often see greatness but that year I saw a skinny 17 year old kid play snooker. I still remember what this skinny kid wore!. And I distinctly remember Willy Thorne asking you to sit down ...you didn't want to sit down...that's how eager you were...Even though you lost I knew that I had witnessed the start of an extraordinary career...i had seen greatness and history would prove me right....

[@stu632]

Great fun!

such a lovely player he is and I love his playing style a lot. Thanks for another great video Stephen and pls pls do tuogh table challenge with Ronnie

[@TheUberkunt]

Good effort from Neil. Interesting to see the different perspectives on shot choice. A bit disappointed there was no time for conversation and tips like with other players. And how is Stephen still top, versus the current best players? Are the pockets on his table massive?

[@dmaklakov]

I think it would be great to have "The tough table challenge tournament". Similar to the Shoot out.

[@David_in_Thailand]

Aussie legend mate!

[@metalTbag]

no disrespect to Stephens TT challenge. but this was absolutely phenomenal some of the shots taken on and recoveries left me speechless. this is my no.1 favorite TT challenge.

[@ossirioth]

Great break, but it goes to prove that the great break builders don't accrue that reputation through mad potting skills; they do it through mad positional skills. Even as one the most in form & gifted potters in the world, once he gets out of position he's just taking one risky pot after another until he rattles it trying to get position from a difficult shot. Potting for show, position for dough!

[@aeternapreliator]

Me and my dads away to buy tickets to see Stephen hendry 😃

[@alexhodgkinson618]
