@@ghulammurtaza5025 Sir hendry says the muslim ? Hahaha! More like overrated piss poor era overrated fraud.Done and dusted in his early 30s coz he couldn't cope with improved standards..Stephen Hendry is the most overrated snooker player of all time! Fact!
A couple of terrific breaks…. What a player and the commentary is a great touch…. Make the game look sooooooo easy and you know it’s NOT ! 👍👍 Stephen got 82 and he had to pot an unbelievable pot to keep that break going.. CLASS….
Had to watch this again. I would love to see ronnie do this and talk his way through the way his mind is thinking. Would be so cool to hear. Your videos are mint mate
Hey Michael.. just checked you out for the first time... enjoyable watch.... carry on "just being yourself" and I wish your channel every success. Going to subscribe 👍🏾👍🏾
That was truly spectacular! Loved the constant struggle during the second run. Also, wanted to commend you on your ball placements/setup, very difficult! Too many people start with the reds well off the cushion, your setup was very difficult, maybe even more tough than what Henry had when he set his score.
Im playing a drinking game where by every time you say 'that's horrible' i have a shot (not a snooker one either) Im three parts pissed just 10 mins deep. Love it....
The toughest ever table challenge was the one covered in Salad dishes and STEPHEN LEE needed to make a total clearance! The lad was sweating buckets at the thought of eating all the green leafy stuff!
Murphy's Law as applied to snooker.... If there's just enough room for the cue ball to pass between the object ball and cushion either for a promotion kiss or a snooker escape, then the cue ball undoubtedly find it a fair percentage of the time. Remarkable how often it happens.
Great attempt Michael, at one point I thought that that you had it! Quick question: When you play a punch/stun shot do you do anything different with your grip or is it just tip position and pace? Love your channel.
Great attempts! You've got the high score at least right? Enjoying the channel Michael. Would not be a bad thing to hear you in the commentary booth either. 👏👏👏
You are my favourite coach / player. Please could you talk more about your cue delivery? It resembles like Martin Gould- glide slowly like a plane and accelerate.
Being honest, I'm getting a neck ache looking at the straightness of the camera angle 😅 All jokes aside, this is kinda calming to watch and listen to. I'm sadly not as familiar with your snooker career as I'd like to be. It was great seeing you play in the shootout this year as well as the post match interviews, I'll be sure to keep an eye on the channel.
@@JonnyMack33 it does as the 2 reds goes to the side. If there is 2 reds and you hit between them (like that line would of done) cueball stops and 2 reds are veey close Look Shaun Murphys attemp

Fantastic attempt mate but doing it with the governor (Hendry) watching your every shot is completely different to doing it on your own. Come on Stephen…. Invite the poor lad onto your gorgeous Rasson table for a knock about.
@@MichaelHoltSnookerCoaching Stephen Hendry and Neil Robertson got them your way but Mark Williams, Shaun Murphy, Judd Trump and Steve Davis got them upside down. Might have to have a chat with management eh :)
You have to play a color after potting a red ball. So, he played the red ball with power to change the natural angle of the cue ball in order to be well positioned on the black.
One indication is the side pockets do not reach into the table past the cushions and the roll off into the pocket is very abrupt. The corner pockets don't look wide either. It looks like a decent tournament table to me. The balls look well used too; me thinks you practice often :)
@@MichaelHoltSnookerCoachingthat’s what I thought as a total novice. It would be pointless for a pro to practice on an easy table, as you’d be stuffed when you turned up for a tournament, and you saw tiny pockets.
The hitman! I always thought you were a very good player mate and strike the ball positively. I'm sure you can get back towards the top of the game and we see you in some big tournaments again soon. All the best
Gotta laugh people watch it then complain or make inane comments,and you can tell they don't play the game because they wouldn't make such stupid comments..
love the effort and lot better effort than a great deal of seasoned Pros have done well done Mr.Holt . You have the ability to complete this challenge that much is very clear to see ,you just do not wanna feel nervous at all , if you just slightly speed up and not focus so much about being totally perfect every shot you'll clear the table . This challenge was not ever meant for anyone to overthink its a really decent drill so you focus on not missing shots but nobody will ever do that tough table challenge with total perfection it would take quite a bit of luck and the odds are very much against it no matter how good you think you are playing . I Just know quite soon you will be doing a part #2 because you are the type of person that simply will not quit and you have good attitude that is missing in snooker , only thing holding you back is let that cue arm run free . You have awesome ability just go at it a little quicker you'll find your perfect cue ball control when you loosen up let your swing out and pratice a bit with doubles as being ultra confident making doubles will make this challenge so much more basic , Good luck : )
Made much easier without the Wonder Bairn breathing down your neck and talking as you deliver the cue (we know what you are doing Stephen!) - Your content is ace! You need to do a show with a female player and call it The Hitman and Her :) x
A BS title, I thought I was getting Stephen's channel. You are stealing Stephen's idea and content, a big thumbs down....there should be a way to ban certain providers.
You've been on the booze, haven't you, Bill? It's absurd to criticise a channel because you were too drunk to read the channel name of the video link that you clicked on. To be fair, the alcohol seems to improve your grammar usage. Your BS comment led me to your "Wastles guitars"(sic) videos which are ok to be fair even though Deb Wastle is the only person who has left a comment. Maybe one of these days you'll get drunk again and you'll leave a comment on one of your own videos telling us what you really think of yourself, because I think that's quite a lot of self-hatred going on. Poor old Michael deserved far better than your comment. I think that an apology is in order, don't you?
You shouldn't blame Michael Holt for your misunderstanding. Calm down with your irritating accusations and irrational suggestions... If you were looking for Stephens channel then just try another search. In the words of the late great Frank Zappa, "Shut up and play yer guitar" :)

Great to hear your internal monologue! So interesting
25:58 love the Keegan impression 🤣🤣
One of the greatest interviews of all time. #LoveIt
Had to watch this again. I would love to see ronnie do this and talk his way through the way his mind is thinking. Would be so cool to hear. Your videos are mint mate
Very entertaining (and honest) commentary. It's obvious you could clear on a better day, so great respect for posting a couple of misses.
great psychology hack " when your practicing try and put somethin on it"! i wish you were my full time coach
Class attempt mate 👏🏻👏🏻
Well done, loving the content 👌🏻
Kevin Keegan impersonation was awesome. I like how your shoes look like black pita breads or platapuss bills. They are perf!
Fantastic mate! Thoroughly enjoyed that 👍

Thank you very much my friend!
I would love Stephen to invite you on for a chat and a go at HIS TOUGH TABLE CHALLENGE… There would be some views for that one…
You never know what might happen in the future… 😉
The difference being, Stephen would be trying to psych him out with his chat while he’s playing a shot 😂
Brilliant attempts, loving both yours and hendrys channels.
Keep up the good work.

Im three parts pissed just 10 mins deep.
Love it....
Remember doing this repetitive practice way back from the monthly snooker magazine. Great attempt Michael.
Watching you play and listening to the running commentary of your thought process was so interesting I forgot to keep score.
So close, that was getting tense. Saving the clearance for your appearance on Stephen's channel, smart move😂
Correct.
Simply love it!!
"Disaster" followed by a lie down on the table😂 . Brilliant couple of attempts mate
Superb
cup a tea....love it😝
Wow well done Michael love to see such effort
The toughest ever table challenge was the one covered in Salad dishes and STEPHEN LEE needed to make a total clearance!
The lad was sweating buckets at the thought of eating all the green leafy stuff!
Great efforts.
You talk exactly how I would think players mutter internally during shots. Very funny 😅
How did I get here?! This is GOOD, man!
Thank you. 😃
Excellent attempts Michael!

I saw a 91 and a 95 break...
🤔 👌💪🙂...
Maybe we need a frame with the Hendry man to double check these stats...🤔
Lovely breaks Michael... Well played👍
I think I counted 89 and 95...
Both wrong. Was 90 and 94.
Brilliant attempt mate
I was hoping you would clear up.. soo close
Loved this 👍
You are one hell of a player. Would love to see you back on the circuit.
Thank you.
Hopefully you will soon. 🤞🏻
Great attempt Michael, at one point I thought that that you had it! Quick question: When you play a punch/stun shot do you do anything different with your grip or is it just tip position and pace? Love your channel.
Class!
Fair play. Decent attemp that last one.
Michael, could you talk about the essence of the pause on the backswing, please
2 good efforts, by the way👍
Everyone has a pause. It’s impossible not to when you change from one direction to another.
The key is to find a transition you can repeat. Then play…
Great effort!
He would of had you on eventually surely 😂 your gonna have to do it again 😋
Nicely done both times.... in fairness though it'd be a different kettle of fish on the table (and lack of lighting) Shaun Murphy had to contend with!
What was wrong with the table?
Unlucky Kev, they've still got to go to Middlesborough and get something tho!
Tremendous attempt 👏
Great attempts. 🫡
Loving it ❤
Top effort that. 👏
Quality effort! 👍
well done Michael.
Great attempts! You've got the high score at least right? Enjoying the channel Michael. Would not be a bad thing to hear you in the commentary booth either. 👏👏👏
Great vid mate love snooker just subbed!!!
How good, brilliant break 🔥
You beat Hendy's score Michael so at least you can wind him up now 😉...great attempt at what is a really tough table.
official tough table coming soon it seems
New fan and subscriber from India ❤❤
Good effort
It's a different kettle of fish when Stephen is there beside you -trying to put you off- talking to you.
Not long now until you get to see it…
@@MichaelHoltSnookerCoaching looking forward to it 👍
What a great vid. Try doing it with Hendry waffling in your ear trying to put you off (I love the guy really).
Video coming soon…
You are my favourite coach / player.

Yes he would #snookerroyalty

haha yeah the camera angle is a trip
You look like a British Pedro Pascal
He looks like me. 😉
That canon into the 3 was sublime.. I'm of the opinion that screwing into the them might be an idea. Awesome attempt though Michael 👌
the 3 reds were wrong way around. 2 on bottom one on top it should of been. That's why it was easier
@@pasipulkkinencom I don't know if it makes it easier though.. you still gotta half-ball kiss.. gotta be accurate.

@@JonnyMack33 Great break anyways, but just not quite the same :)
Whats size pockets is your table. Do all snooker tables have same size po kets.
No they don’t. My table is to tournament template which are smaller than normal. 👍
Every decent snooker player talks to him self. Or pool player for sure.
Brilliant attempts at least you have the high score.
Gud stuff michael..nxt challenge all blacks with them🤣🤣🤘
I’m gonna try it… 😠
Well done 👍. Murphy and Williams got 24, Davis got 25!😄
Yeah but they play much better than Michael when it really counts!
@@pedrom1619 There's no need for talk like that, Michael is a class player and there's no need to say unecessary things.
@@jama211 I'm just responding to someone who was comparing the breaks! Regarding being a "class" player, I don't agree, since I don't use that word so lightly! He's a good player, who fell of the top 64! "Class" is reserved for world champions like Murphy and Williams!
nice break
I don't know why but I've got the feeling your 6 foot. Great vid aswell 👏
I think the best opening shot is to play a double on one of the two reds below centre pocket. You can position the cue ball so they are 99% certainty.
still 2 attempts tho!
Just curious if you think that doing videos for RUclips has changed your game in any way?
Not at all. I just play 👍🏻
It would be a dream if I could do this lol, can't even pot more than a red and a blue with a line up where there all set out for you😂
Keep going. 👍
I'd like an official measure on the hight, he protests too much that he's 6ft, meaning he's 5 11.
I do exactly the same!
You’ve got the highest score so far.
Shaun Murphy got 24 😂
probably bigger pockets though
@@kevinb9830 yup. Different cloth, pockets, and lighting makes a huge difference
@@toziassmitt And the fact that on Hendry’s show they have to do it while attempting chit chat
@@johnp515 good point. Also highly doubt all these youtubers genuinely only take 2 attempts, even the ones that say they do
@@toziassmitt I wouldn’t classify Michael as a RUclipsr, he was a professional player for 24 years
Great effort. Why do I feel like your running commentary was just your usual inner dialogue? 😅
It is!! 😂😂
Haha love it 🤣@@MichaelHoltSnookerCoaching
Has he not contacted you to go onto his show then?
Watch this space 👀

Hendry guvnor?😂 You mean the piss poor era overrated fraud that was washed up in his early 30s due to risen standards!🤣
old fraud hendry cant make a 30 break now.
❤
First attempt,,6;50 in,,,look at the end of your belt what do ya reckon?
No foul.
Those 3 reds were wrong way around, so the cannon was quite a bit easier. Sorry :) Great break though...
Bet you’re fun at parties
