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

[@dazmill697]

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

[@sawyermaitland]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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 👍

[@abhisargarg95]

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

[@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.

[@TerenceKoo]

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

[@tam310]

Really enjoying your videos, especially this kind of content. Would be good to do a real break and talk us through your shot selection and why with each shot, as well as what you’re doing to the cueball.

[@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.

[@ju.snooker]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@managesnooker7777]

My fav pro player...STEPHEN.💙

[@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.".

[@simoncooper913]

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

[@declanmulraney1363]

Absolutely loving these.... Keep them 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

[@tsvetanradev666]

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

[@danielstevens7]

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

[@Roger101Watson]

I really enjoy watching these and I've not picked up a snooker cue in many years.

[@LIVERNIL723]

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.

[@jamesredfern999]

Loving this. Its like a magician sharing all their tricks.

[@darrenhadden1037]

Excellent video! Clear up and win that frame!

Thanks again Stephen for your time showing us amateur's how to do it. Best snooker channel on KZbin.

That was excellent. Thank you.

[@alimustafa2163]

Masterclass advice 👌 big thanks 😊

[@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.

[@Alotofmoney147]

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.

[@PM-fs2eg]

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

Brilliant Video, there's no better advice than that which comes from someone who can explain and then also demonstrate with absolute clarity. 😃🎯👊💯

[@interurnan4332]

Best video yet. Very useful for club players (like myself) to help with these shots and to think how do I clear up from here - mentality when approaching the table so important! Keep up the great vids!!!

Brilliant video this channel is one of the best ideas and I'm grateful for the knowledge. Wish I could be in a snooker room to learn off a legend of the game but these videos are the next best thing thanks Stephen

[@MrMalbaghdady]

Thx a lot for an important video , 🙏🙏👍👍👏👏

[@johnaskew147]

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. 👌🏻

[@motupatlugamesworld5768]

BEST OF THE DAY

[@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.

[@kennethcrouse6212]

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

[@kirkhogan2688]

Enjoyed the video stephen,keep them coming

[@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 !

[@endatreanor5263]

Could you do a follow up video talking about playing into areas, cue ball path to a red to avoid being snookered or hampered etc, would like to hear your thought process.

[@frasermathieson9767]

great video! Stephen, another way I remember seeing you splitting the reds was when you were dead straight on the black, and with incredibly deep screw back, you would come off the side cushion and try to split them that way. Had never seen this before, so I'd say this was one you definitely invented!

[@mixolydian2010]

This is gold Steve, cheers!

[@richardparker387]

Excellent informative video.

[@vxrdrummer]

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

[@richardcranium3403]

Great stuff as always Stephen.

[@THECATK7]

My game a lot better for watching you Steven. Loving the channel. Best on youtube 👍

[@Hassan87.]

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

[@TheRhinog24]

Brilliant to watch. I just find snooker so hard due to size of the table, my main focus is usually on making sure I pot the ball - which most of time i fail at haha

[@L1ghtOn3]

Helpful as usual, great stuff. 👌🏽

[@Hugojk12]

“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

[@farazahmed1699]

very good channel .The best part is that Stephen is telling you how to play shots in the game at club level and professional also .Keep it up .Also tell how to improve cueing in s different way and easy not like others.

[@brusschen]

Thanks Stephen!

[@piotrmotyka1004]

Legend Forever!

[@BobruiskChessStar]

I will apply these tactics vs Stefan next week!

[@hohowan2012]

valuable lesson! just makes me wanna go to a club and practice exactly that
