Great content as usual. This gives snooker players an entirely new perspective on just how good elite pool players are. It's worlds away from pub pool.

@@vacantplanet This simply isn't true. Pool is now much more lucrative than snooker and many just chose to play pool for this reason. I think we will see a mass exodus of snooker players to Chinese 8 ball in the near future. It will be interesting to see how many of them thrive. No doubt they're great potters but the nuances of pool will find many, if not all of them out.

@@vacantplanet It´s a different game, which needs different skills, these skills need time and experience to develop. Pool on the highest level is extremely difficult. There are only a couple of players who are on that level just like in snooker. Pool is lot more popular than snooker though (worldwide)..

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

Gotta love how unapologetically competitive Stephen is haha

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

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

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 👏

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

That was fun to watch. I really enjoy your channel.

Love this one. Look forward to these videos each week 🎱👌🏻

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

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.

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

There was a competition 20+ years ago called the Lindrum Masters. American 8 ball, 9 ball, snooker and billiards.

When Stephen potted the white straight in the centre haha brilliant

This is great would love to see more videos with other cue sports

I love this channel 😍

Great video! Also the multi-cuesport idea is a great one. American pool, 8-ball pool & snooker would be great to watch

Keep up the great work stephen, love your channel

Keep doing what you're doing. Found out you had a channel couple of days ago and this is so enjoyable to watch. Can't wait to watch the Bullard episode will pick that up tomorrow. Hours worth to catch up on now! So glad stumbled upon this.

Does this perhaps mean Mark Selby is coming on the channel soon? In any case, these videos with Gareth are so entertaining and interesting to watch!

brilliant entertainment, cheers

Excellent 👌👍👏👏

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.
