Mistakes Everyone Makes When Clearing The Colours

[@phillace]

This channel is the best thing to happen on KZbin for years , great work Stephen !

[@dannynaylor5366]

Agreed pal👍

[@wsmtown8575]

Really , Michael holt videos are number one

[@franksfiddle9031]

Yep ... reaslly like Stephen's approach to this

[@CasperLD]

Totally agree.

[@NakulGandhi]

100 percent!

[@mikey22355]

Love this channel. I could watch Stephen playing and chatting about random topics all day.

[@uzzy_787]

We need a 100k special Stephen! A long video with Ronnie maybe🤩

[@aloisberger8891]

Stephen Hendry, we love you!

[@KenKen-wp3fe]

Now when stephen hendry posts these videos i see now how much Humor he has and now he is becomming my favorite chanell !!!!

[@nathanielbastin4335]

Though undoubtedly useful for an amateur to practice, the reality with an amateur frame is so many balls have already been missed by this point that the colours are nowhere near their spots! Great channel, Stephen. Keep up the great work!

[@darylkenny9669]

Greatest channel EVER !!! STEPHEN ... You are the undisputed KING !!!

[@rashidxd]

You are almost 100K in just a few months. This is one of the fastest growing YT channels out there. Keep up the good work!

it really isnt

[@Samg95]

[@niallcnoc9646]

The camera shots from behind and the red dot 🔴 showing where he’s hitting the white is critical to understand positional shooting. The head camera is excellent also. Excellent content Stevie H 👏

[@paulboardman247]

Nearly 100k subs. Very impressive in a short time!

[@JonnyMack33]

cheers Stephen! Brown to Blue has always been my nemesis!!

[@oyyq99999]

same here! I need to practice tons and tons of Brown to Blue...

[@DM-kv9kj]

@@oyyq99999 Maybe try to practice most of those in a full colour clearance though. Otherwise you end up so focused on the one shot, you can start to get sloppy on the rest. Sort of similar with stuff like practicing shots on both sides of the table, so you don't start to subtly develop a preference for one side.

[@oyyq99999]

@@DM-kv9kj Thanks for the advice. Actually I'm practicing pretty much everything with non-fixed style. Just a rough range to start with and allow multiple choices where applicable. But the brown to blue positional shot always draws me back, so I really need to do it more than usual. I will use the rest whenever needed and I don't limit my cue power too much on a relatively comfortable rest shot. And occasionally I play shots with my opposite hand because I want to be able to play with both hands eventually, but that is not my focus for now.

congrats on 100k stephen sir it was fairly quick, your content is pure quality and full of information, tips, lessons and experience. keep it coming sir

Great video king.

[@mattmorley6651]

I could watch your videos all day long

[@georgedawson235]

This channel is fantastic the information we have at our fingertips for absolutely free these days is astonishing. I could listen to hendry chat all day and I love seeing guests on for a frame and a chat for half hour but I seriously could watch this in a hour long + pod cast format!

[@BlackPocketYT]

What a treat it is to have one of the world's greatest players giving such detailed and well-expressed lessons. Thank you! Also, getting in early, but you'll be ticking over 100,000 subscribers in the next few hours - congratulations! Well deserved. Please keep this going Stephen - you have a solid base of subscribers hanging out for every new video.

[@GoldenLeaves13]

Just want to say thank you to Stephen, I've been playing a few games against my dad every week for about three years since my mum passed and because of your tips through all of your videos I finally beat him today! 63-36, I though he was going to cry when I potted my third pink in a row and I don't think it would have been a sad cry, legitimately thank you

[@NakulGandhi]

Probably the best player to ever play! Love your content. Keep posting!!

[@Host4l]

Nice lad Stephen

[@sussi-hn5fj]

I would love to be better at snooker. Id be happy with a 25 break too! Lol im so rubbish but I love watching Stephens cue tips. Thank you Stephen for your cue tips. Thank you for also playing genius snooker and entertaining all your fans in the 80s and 90s too. I love watching you play. 👍

[@Rob.Chapman]

I can't believe this kind of thing hasn't been done before. The channel is great, the format is excellent, the personal conversation with other snooker players and guests over a couple of frames is a wonderful and enlightening. The tips to improve the games played by us hobbiests and amateurs alike is excellent, all hosted by a fabulous ambassador of the sport. Looking forward to the next Cue Tips!

[@MetalMonkey]

My highest break is 27, i cleared the colours. I played snooker on a full size table about 20 times in 47 years. I miss playing pool/snooker, i live out in the country with not snooker/pool halls

[@ravivarman2020]

It would be great to see SH give masterclass tips. What if you land position a little short or long on each of the colors.

[@declanmulraney1363]

Makes it look simple.

[@AmmoBoks]

GG on reaching 100k!

[@jflogr1]

Unlucky. I love it!

[@TidusfromZanarkand]

Hey Stephen, you've done a video explaining how to aim with side. Care to do a video explaining the different reaction of the cue ball in relation to where you hit it? You know, hit very low for Screwback, low-mid for a Stun, high for Runthrough and so on, and also the reaction/angle change when hitting with side on those shots. You are really articulate when explaining each situation, I bet this is a video quite a few beginners are looking forward to watching ^ Cheers on the 100k subs btw

[@ejayman]

100% agreed. I'd love to see him explain how the path of the white changes when you're putting side on, as well as how the path of the object ball is effected by different types of cue-ball spin

[@nutbrown607]

Really love this channel. Even considering buying a hoodie 🤔

[@glenmorahan8617]

“all you’ve to do now is to shake your opponent’s now and say “unlucky”” perhaps the most gangster line i’ve ever heard

[@dsmash447]

Another nice straightforward lesson. Polite request for some simple tactical moves like snookering ones opponent and giving them a hard time when one cannot pot.

[@smokeddd]

That’s why you the GOAT 🐐 the goaaaaaat “ with meme sound “

[@iainamurray]

So close to 100k! (08/03/2023)

[@Vtwin_Superbikes]

Love the videos mate. Can you do one on the physics of the cue ball when applying top, stun or side etc. and when to do it, also what happens off the cushions when you have applied bottom or top etc. like what way does the ball want to go if you have top on it and it hits the cushion? Also did Murphy apply anything on that mad pot a couple of weeks ago or did the pocket mouth put spin on it?

[@timmyg37]

U make it look so easy

[@FACTulta]

Love you sir.

[@laytondrjones]

Playing from brown to blue via the cushion is a good example of playing along the line of the next shot, rather than going directly at it and playing across the line which makes it more difficult.

[@andydurance478]

That’s why your theee best Stephen 👍

[@NNC93]

Ideal dropping right it’s a screw screw stun one cushion run through middle ball tops through and again on the black always ideal when it goes right

Hello Stephen

[@farazahmed1699]

Stephen Henry make a video how to control unwanted site in the cue ball for left handed snooker players. strike in the middle of the cue ball .

[@richardcranium3403]

👍👍👍

[@lucaossani5796]

Hello Mr. Hendry. Could you please do a video on cues. Perhaps talk about the wood, the different types what makes a good cue, size of the tip, etc ect ect?Much appreciated.

[@mikebest634]

No such thing as a good or bad cue ,price dictates the use of exotic woods used that has no bearing on the playability of the cue .Shaun Murphy uses one of the smallest ferule and tip sizes ,under 9 mill ,more like an English pool cue size ,you have to have a solid technique to hit the ball consistently with that tip .Hendry’s original power glide cue was an old cheap off the rack bent piece of wood but it felt perfect to him .

[@lucaossani5796]

@@mikebest634 Thank you Mike for an informative reply.

Shaking hands and saying unlucky to the other player is the key to clearing the colours

"Unlucky"🤣

[@jonathanward7320]

Can you break the colour clearance world record time set by Break from Life?

[@mikebest634]

Stephen used to have the record colour clearance he beat Jimmy white ,break from life is really just an average player and his clearance was not witnessed .Don’t get me wrong break from life is a Great channel but he would be battered by every player if he tried to turn pro .

[@jonathanward7320]

@@mikebest634 mate it’s literally a suggestion for a video, no need to bring up his ability. As it stands his time is the fastest on KZbin, that’s all I’m saying, would be good to see if Hendry could beat it

[@mahmutunal834]

100K special with Ronnie?? 😏😏😏😏😏😏

[@bwytacig]

A brave choice of top for a man of his physique!

[@middleagedshred]

kool stuff... 3:45 looked like he was hitting the ball alot more below centre than the cue ball graphic shows..It seemed more of a stun screw than just a plain stun

[@Blackballfarm]

What about left hand players, same positional play?

[@James-C-Callan]

100k in 4 months!? Wow! 1Mil for sure in the future!

[@johnwhittaker7190]

How do you break build

[@phildre1974]

When you run out of position clearing the colors become much more difficult. I practise this often, but in matches on club level the colors are usually not on their spot anymore. Still great for learning the angles and should be in the practise routine.

[@allistermcginlay6476]

Perhaps that's why Stephen seems harsh in commentary against fellow snooker players? He understands fundamentally about the game, keeping it simple wins frames and winning frames wins games, all confidence boosters! What made him such a terror was he used to pot a good long pot and then settle down and make a high break, that's not easy? But by positioning the white ball he made a hard game almost routine and look who came up grasping onto his shirt-tails, ' the class of 92' no disrespect intended Stephen was not only an inspiration to them, he was an essential guide to all who followed!

[@mikebest634]

Perfectly put .

[@Oliffin]

well keep in mind that as an amateur, the table is generally completely messed up when there's no reds anymore on the table and colours are not properly aligned =)

[@ajaygurung4777]

Literally like being told how to play piano by Beethoven. 😅

[@umersaeed259]

Sir, Cue should be straight or not???

[@juchetony1910]

thought he put a touch of right hand side on that brown, left him a little bit straight on the blue.

[@johnmc3862]

And justify your cue card!

[@aalamoudi3376]

clearing the colors doesn't start with the yellow, it starts with the black and ends with the black, distance white travels from black to yellow is not to be underestimated and you could screw up before you even play the ball that everyone thinks its the first obsticale
