  • The current World Champion Luca Brecel takes on the Tough Table Challenge from his club in Belgium. How do you think he's going to get on?
    We also ask Luca 10 Quick Questions where we find out if he's nervous playing Ronnie, how many World titles he thinks he can win and why Mark Williams is like Kevin De Bruyne! We hope you enjoy this video as much as we enjoyed travelling to film it. Let us know in the comments who you want to see next up on the Tough Table Challenge.

      Humbled but often feels the need to point out what he did to whom just to make an impression (like the left handed shot on the yellow story in this clip). Can't help it not being a fan. Don't see him on top foe long just because he isn't dedicated enough.

    This is one of the best channels I know of. It makes me realize that my love for snooker isn't as much about the actual sport as it is about the personalities and the history - the drama of it all. Listening to Stephen having conversations with these legends of the game while playing a casual round builds such a fantastic web of context around this sport and its history. It makes me appreciate the sport even more.

    Stephen, I love your channel, groundbreaking and so great for the promotion of snooker! I’m fae Dunblane! Let me offer my some respectful humble advice - I think the tough table challenge will have more value if you don’t speak to them for the few minutes they try. You have plenty of opportunity to interview them outside of those few mins. It will give us the viewers the opportunity to possibly see them fall into the ‘zone’ and maybe even beat your score! I know you likely can’t bear the thought of any of them beating your score (hence the competitive legend that you are), but I think the chance of seeing some real impressive (undistracted) snooker, outweighs that surely!

    I feel like giving 3 goes suits the challenge more. There's a phrase in Chinese literally meaning no more than 3 times, which is the same as the 3 miss rule. Plus, the length of the part would be a few more minutes longer, which could be more satisfying as the channel only uploads one time during the weekend, which is really a long wait for us fans. So hoping it could be a bit longer since it's really tough even for professionals, but still excellent and pleasure to watch the interaction between the legend Stephen and other players.

  • @jt4391
    @jt4391 Год назад +1

    I think the key to beat Hendry's record is to try to clear up the topside of the table first, the most difficult ones are the 4 reds on long side of the tb, so i think starting with the only 2 red in the open is a mistake. Those two balls should be use as a back up when u try to cannon out the 2 reds closest to the blue. That way u always have a shot on the 2 open reds with different angles to manoeuvre the cueball. The 3 reds shouldn't be a problem for these pro's since it's a big target to cannon into.

    • @captainrocket7187
      @captainrocket7187 Год назад

      exactly my thought. maybe the pros are too accustomed to the habit of leaving the top side reds at last before clearing up the colour.

    • @PsychedeliKompot
      @PsychedeliKompot 10 месяцев назад

      Same thought here as well, from a pool player mentality (altho also used to play Snooker). You'll wanna leave some easier spare reds on the table in a situation like this, since potting the reds is difficult and then getting onto more reds from the colours may not always be possible. Cannon the triple reds in the middle early, then leave any remaining center reds on there as long as possible.

Its a different expectation. We all know the talent is there but winning multiple WCs is actually incredibly hard. Just ask Judd.

    I would imagine that it's not that easy to wear the "World Champion" -robe. You need to win one tournament for the trophy and the title - which is obviously extremely hard. But for the next year at least most people will assume that since you are the World Champion you must be the best player in the world all the time - which is obviously almost impossible nowadays.

    Hendry sais :"people complained that he talked too much with Ronnie O'Sullivan". What is hendry doing with Luca Brecel? Talking too much .... :/
