My brother won't know what's hit him next time we go to the boozer
I've played a lot of English 8-ball, 9-ball, and snooker at a high level for 15+ years. Believe it or not, it always bugged me over the years when Hendry often said (in commentary or in the studio) that he preferred snooker because of the tactics. He used to talk about snooker being like chess and pool like draughts (half joking I think). Nevertheless, ofcourse snooker is the hardest to play technically, and potting on a snooker table is the most impressive to watch by a long way. But in my opinion English 8-ball is by far the richer game. The depth of the tactics that often arise in frames of 8-ball is so much more complex than in snooker. Also, in snooker, you almost always are thinking 3 or 4 shots ahead. Whereas 8-ball you are constantly thinking about the entire table from right after the break (not just your set and your pattern to the black ball, but also your opponents entire set as well). It's really great to see Hendry diving into the nuances of 8-ball pool now, and giving it the respect it deserves! :)
Can't help but cringe at the cue hitting the cloth like that off the break. I saw someone go through and under the cloth at a pub once
The cross-discipline vids are really interesting and entertaining. Perhaps some billiards, bar billiards, 9 ball, anything cue sports. Love the compare/contrast.
Gareth “try your best to snap the cue on the break” Potts
Everyone obvs knows he broke dry in both games!? Foul!
can’t believe how much that cue bends in the slow mo!
The big thing to remember with Snooker vs Pool with the cannon is that a snooker player typically doesn't have to clear that awkward red if they can get enough reds to win the frame without it... The Pool player HAS to pot it at some point, so it flips the logic entirely.
Would love to see an interview with a top 9-ball player, someone like Shaw or Melling
Win the frame? It was dry 😂
Gareth is a really great coach and seems like a decent bloke! Will definitely be using these tips from now on!!
Really great advice from Gareth. There is this feeling amongst snooker players (I'm one) that because I play on a 12ft table, pot long balls, and hold position I should be able to clear up on that little pool table. But nah, whenever I have played a really good pool player I am 4 down in 10 minutes thinking "what the f**k happened there". Nice one Mr Hendry.
Stephen would love it if you could do an interview with Efren "the magician" Reyes. Like you he took his sport to new levels. Always a pleasure to watch his matches.
I'm a middle-aged American hooked on snooker now...thankfully Stephen has this channel so I can learn something!
Really good tips from Gareth! 👍
Steven's face when he said "in snooker you try to land straight." 😂
