Hendry & Potts Attempt The World's Hardest Pool Shots

[@borawserboxer]

Hendry's eagerness and pleasant demeanor is what makes these videos. So approachable.

[@davidbrito8504]

Please do more videos with Gareth, they are some of my favourites on this channel

[@iTheSheriff]

These videos are how I found this channel!

[@bigboy0625]

The energy and smiles from you both is great to watch you can hear the passion and love for the sport off Potts. 👍

[@djwwautodiagnostics]

As a snooker player I always looked down my nose as it were at pool players. My god how wrong of me. It's always really interesting when Gareth comes on the channel and his knowledge of pool and cue sports is absolutely 2nd to none. Thank you so much. Real respect 😀😀😀😀😀

[@dhirajpallin2572]

Stephen calls pool 'checkers' and snooker 'chess' but if you listen to top pool players like Mick Hill analyzing pool layouts, it can get pretty bloody complex. The top players are thinkers.

[@seed8325]

@@dhirajpallin2572 it does still require a lot of thinking and skill but it is still not comparable to the skill levels needed with a cue that snooker demands.. yeah pool is definitely checkers to snookers chess

[@dhirajpallin2572]

@@seed8325 chess is not a game of hand/eye control though it's a game of patterns, memorisation and calculation. And in that respect I think English pool has far more of that than snooker. For example, pool players typically think 7 balls ahead, whereas snooker players usually only think about 2-3 balls ahead. The patterns and situations a pool player has to deal with are typically also a lot more varied.

[@seed8325]

@@dhirajpallin2572 the metaphor has gone over your head.. snooker is by far the harder cue sport.. the metaphor is that chess is harder than checkers.. basically snooker is a harder cue sport than pool when you look at the game as a whole. yes pool takes skill but we have seen world champion snooker players beat world champion pool players in tournament setting .. its there, its documented.. but i have yet to see a professional pool player even slightly trouble a snooker player on a snooker table in a professional tournament setting. if i am wrong then please link the video and il be here waiting in the meantime

[@raydology]

​@@seed8325if you "really" study Snooker, it is mainly discipline, in containing to keep the cueball in position!... where Pool is following the plan/pattern from start to the end.

[@Juventinos]

I just love how into it Stephen is :))

[@seanscanlon9067]

I love how much he hates to lose and is not very good at disguising it. Which is a good thing and a trait that made and makes him so successful.

[@Terziak]

I love snooker but there are snooker fans who can get quite snobby when talking about other cuesports. Meanwhile you have one of the best snooker players of all time being really open to it!

[@Juventinos]

@@seanscanlon9067 No.. he's open to Potts. he respects him. he's very snobbish when it comes to cue sports lol

You have the thing too where it puts the reply name at the end! Why is it only some of us I wonder... @@DM-kv9kj

[@KristianOakesGolf]

So good to see Stephen genuinely impressed with the shots and skills. ❤

[@peterb5]

I love how serious and competitive Stephen is! He say’s everything with a laugh after to seem like he’s just joking but you can tell by his face how competitive he takes it 😂

[@peterb5]

@billypribbo9668 absolutely, he’ll always have the competitive drive! I think he’ll say he’s happy for Ronnie if he gets an 8th title but deep down he’ll likely be seething 😂 regardless, second best to ever do it isn’t too shabby if you ask me haha

[@azcargo]

Brilliant this. Gareth is very generous with sharing his knowledge and he makes it look so easy. Thanks Stephen.

[@acidhelm]

17:35 when Stephen got down and just shot right away with no waggles, I felt that in my soul.

[@unluko7619]

😂

[@ledon26656]

Stephens raging face at 9:45 ...utterly hilarious. Love it when his competitive side comes out.

[@Marshy94]

Love the pool content, good to see the game growing. Different set of skills.

[@LYNXzTwist]

Gareth is just a great guy too, him and hendry have great chemistry

[@davew005]

Two smashing lads, this is a Sunday treat like bullseye use to be. I love it.

[@RAINE____]

They were like teenage friends at 9:00. It's nice to see that enthusiasm is still there

[@NNC93]

Stephen: ‘I’ll take it” Gareth: ‘I thought you might’ 😂😂😂

[@tonyhession4071]

I could watch steven all day long you will learn something new every time he's on

[@dizzygunner]

I'd love to see more of Gareth on the channel! he's so entertaining to listen to, and it's absolutely fascinating to hear him talk about pool.

[@dom_kon1500]

Love watching the pool content! Would love to see you play with Chris Melling too! He is very entertaining to watch play, as well as a great personality on videas. You two together would be a match made in heaven!

[@cenayong2078]

Love it! Chris Meiling can play all 3 different cues sport

[@jonnyjp8486]

One of the best things about this channel is they don't edit out the misses

[@alexbowring7489]

Genuinely feels like Hendry enjoys this more then the snooker content. With snooker i think it must be hard to come to a game he's mastered throughout his life but now lost the edge for and find the motivation to climb the mountain again, but with pool its like being in a whole new world and he seems to be loving it, especially when being shown by a master like Potts.

[@johnanderson8085]

Another great video. Absolutely love watching these every week.

[@PlayMoreGolf-RipOff]

Still missing STEPHEN LEE though!

[@Richard-se4uh]

Hendry is an amazing presenter, so respectful of the people he has on.

[@5wisher5weet]

Im a snooker fan but I bloody love this guy. Keep getting Gareth on every couple of months if you can.

[@tommy-showsyouhow5083]

As a pool player at high level myself I love this content. Great to see Stephen acknowledging the skill needed in this game like snooker.keep it up Stephen 👏

[@christopher19894]

I prefer the more defensive-minded strategy of snooker, but the attacking/tactical aspect of pool is cool too. There should definitely be a tournament with both disciplines included. There are so many possible formats as well.

[@SteveHuckle]

Love these - Gareth's a lovely lad, and he's mustard at Pool...

[@phil2768]

I love it. I play pool mainly but snooker once a week. The idea of big name snooker players coming to the pool world is an exciting prospect and pool is a very different beast tactically.

[@cskzx]

This was such a great video! Smiled and laughed along almost non-stop! 😆

[@wandelust]

Love your channel Stephen. Especially with other players. Gareth is a great guest.

[@JerryLee..]

Love it! Authentic, and encouraging to me. I know everyone misses but this shows that, which encourages me.

[@omidnamadi9262]

Can we just acknowledge how great hendry is with a cue in his hands? The way he got that trick shot to almost work after like 3 tries is insane, it would take most people ages to perfect that.

[@ad9ack82]

Stephen, this is literally one of my top KZbin channels. Every video is so entertaining. Keep up the good work.

[@Shrug02]

Really enjoyed this episode. Would like to see you guys play a snooker frame.

Ronnie owns Hendry's soul. In ever aspect of the game. Won more than Hendry will ever win. Still playing because he can. Hendry could not handle the rising standards and emerging new talent. Ask yourself why Hendry was washed up like Khant at 30? Hendry is no Ronnie. Deal with it! Ronnie O'Sullivan is the UNDISPUTED GOAT This must hurt!

[@alexpaic2984]

Bro. Absolutely loved the content. Great to watch these two. Enjoyed it even more than the first time they got together. Stephen learning fast. I’m impressed. I like the ideea of a mixed cue sport tournament like Gareth was saying but we all know that will only be one winner and that is selby. Not my favorite by a long shot but there is no doubt he is the best ever all around cue sports player ever.

Hey Stephen, love the channel, watching your tips has helped me better my snooker techniques and I wanna thank you for being such an inspiration! Keep it up big man!
