'Gentleman' is the perfect nickname for Joe. Just a great guy, I was delighted for him when he won the 2022 Welsh Open to win his 2nd ranking event.

Joe doesn't talk too much, that's what I like most about his commentary. So many talk almost non-stop, I have to turn the sound off and listen to music. With Stephen and Joe, I can listen to them all the time.

Great interview! I loved the irony when Joe said years ago 50 was a good lead...at the same time he missed a simple shot with a 49 point lead 😂

Stephen's Cue Tips is easily the best snooker-based content online. I really look forward to every new video. I've always respected Joe's commentary box analysis and insight. He seems like a lovely fella to boot. Congratulations on the Welsh Open in 2022!

The camera dude always with a gentle smile on too, can feel his passion for the show, not just to take footages👊

What a nice fella Joe is, pretty darn good player too. Had a decent career, earning a good living doing what he loves.

Many, many moons ago, I was at secondary school with Joe, and he was always a nice lad. Gentleman is the perfect nickname for him as he is a genuinely nice bloke.

This casual play and chat is quite enjoyable. It's nice to get to hear player talk; simply spectating on TV you don't get to know the players aside from a few trivial facts that the commentators share. Thanks Stephen for sharing it with us.

Interesting to hear how both Joe and Stephen can articulate the weak parts of Neil Robertson's game very clearly. I remember a decade ago when Stephen was saying on television how Neil was a bad break builder, then Neil got those 100 centuries in a season, yet his positional play still looked second rate(for a top eight player, that is). And what Joe said about Neil going within himself is so true too, and Mark Selby has always been very aware of this whenever they've played in major finals. If you can get Neil to stop playing the game and start thinking about the game, you've got him. It's hard to stop him when he believes he's simply better than you, but when he starts thinking he has to "compete" instead of just crushing you, you can get him tangled.

I think Hendry can be quite critical of players but it always seems from an honest perspective. There isn't any ill intent or malice behind it. In his videos with Ronnie they both agreed that Neil has thee best cue action they've ever seen. They also when talking about Neil talked about what Joe said here about Neil's weakness where he stops playing his own game and gets bogged down under other players tactics. Selby is the perfect example they used. Ronnie stated that the difference between Neil to himself and Hendry was their ability to resist falling into that trap and still playing their own game!! Ronnie would happily just play a wild shot and concede a frame against an opponent rather than change his game. Hendry too always stuck to his own game of attacking play. It did sometimes fail for Ronnie/Hendry against players like Selby/Ebdon but it didn't have any where near the negative impact because they played their own game!! I've seen Neil play some matches early on in tournaments and he's looked absolutely unbeatable then he's been comfortably beaten in the next round?

I love wherever Perry wins. Seems like a top guy

would be great to see mcgill on and to talk about his cue change etc

What a great room. Very enjoyable again.

always liked watching Joe. There's something old fashioned English about him.

Excellent as always...what about another Joe, Mr Joe Johnson?

Haven't even watched yet, but I just want to say what a phenomenal guest! Joe is the man! Always love hearing his insights and I think he's already one of my favorite commentators to listen to when he does Championship League and the Worlds. Plus no one can take the mick out of Robbo quite like Joe. Keep up the great videos and thank you Stephen!

Great commentator to be fair, Joe. One of the better ones about.

Joe is a great commentator. Keep him commentating!

Nice vid stephen. Could we see Mark Selby sometime in this channel? Would be great

Quality. Top class.

The gentleman! Top guy!

Always come mes across as a proper, genuine good guy. Always enjoyed watching him and now listening to him and he always responds on Twitter lol. Great video ❤

I`m loving these informal chats around the tables......Joe always comes across as such a nice guy (As does Stephen of course)

Comes across like a really nice man. I wish him all the best for his future.

Great video as always, Jack lisowski when, my favourite player and we all know you love him too Steven

Think snooker would miss if Joe does fall off the tour! Certainly inspired me to pick up my cue again! Great ambassador for the game

Was buzzing when Joe won the Welsh open last year. A truly nice man was looking forward to this.

A true gentleman. Love Joe Perry. Thoroughly underachieved in the sport though. As Stephen said, he was in the toughest era of the sport.

Hey Stephen love every video you make and when I met you in the Romford snooker Club you was a love guy I would love to see a video of a tour of what's in your snooker cue case

Brilliant as always. Sorry to hear joe taking a step back but completely get it.

Seems a lovely bloke to be fair. Always liked Perry

I’d love to see Stephen Maguire on this please. I bet he’s got so many stories.

I simply love these videos

How do you like them apples?! 😂 another smooth session 👍🏻🍀

Nice video, Joe is a cool guy.

Joe was a great guest...loved as always Stephen. Can I just say the majority of fans love your commentary as possibly their favourite. It's just the ex players who moan..we also like a more critical commentator...Simon Powell, the mean one on strictly...it's entertaining...unlike them too...Ur a legend of the game who got there by pushing itself to highest standards...we all know you n watched your career...the fans enjoy Ur honest opinion...don't change for the pros...the audience love you being urself..liked this channel...say what u see...ignore divas like Shawn Murphy 😊👌

Joe is a decent player been following him since a long time as a snooker fan, in 2013 i put a snooker ACCA of 20 Quids with 12 entries and Joe Perry was the last pick in that. and he beat someone in decider on black ball got me on edge of the sofa and my heart pounding the whole match. but when he potted the black and made me win 2400 Quids he fall in my good players list ever since. good Luck Gentleman Joe.

Top draw Stephen and Joe interesting insight to the game splendid 🖖🔝🎅😉😎

What a lovely humble guy

Love Joe Perry, always have done. Now I love his commentary. Hope he gets more commentary shifts rather than bring in Mark Allen or Kyron Wilson. Quality guy!

I live for these videos

Stephen, love the channel and the videos. Can you please try to recreate the opening long red down the cushion after John ran out of position in the 3rd frame of your 2005 Grand Prix match against John Higgins? With position on the black.....

Love the jumper Stephen!

Had a few lessons with Joe, top guy and really helped my game!

Seems like a lovely bloke, any chance of getting Lisowski on??

I think the problem with Neil is the chasm between his A game and B game. No player can play their A game all the time, they all have dips in form. Ronnie was nowhere near the player he is now, before he worked with Ray Reardon and improved his B game. Judd managed to improve his B game so much, he won the masters with it. Selby, Higgins and Williams can all win when not at their best, but they learned to do that at a young age, I think it gets harder as you get older, but some still do it. Struggling against the lower ranked players is energy sapping, Neil's B game needs to be good enough to beat most of them easily. The time between shots is misleading, as every player plays faster when break building, so speeding up playing safety isn't going to help. Hopefully Neil can find a way to win while not playing his best, like Judd did, then he will be a real threat at the Crucible. He should be in the multiple world champions club. Hope Joe can help him.

4:56 that was shades of Jimmy White

Joe Perry has such an underrated sense of humour. His comments about pundits only getting 30 seconds to analyse sessions is spot on, TV producers really should give more airtime to the analysis.

"My dad's not very good, he got his highest break ever the other day, 49" my highest is 47 😭 and considering he's 70 odd and I'm a lot younger surely that makes him good for his age and not very good for me 😭😂 (Edit) for anyone wondering I'm 18 years old and I've been playing snooker for 2 and a half years

Thanks Stephen...as a relatively new USA based snooker fan, your videos help me catch up and learn info around the game. Any chance of having one of the middle eastern or Asian players on the channel? Seems that they're stories of getting on tour would be interesting. Maybe the language differences would make that too difficult?

stance related question? does the leading leg has to have angle ? i am not talking about the foot but the entire leg , i know some players have straight and some has bent legs , but my question is about the leg angle , does it have to be vertical straight or or like ladder when leaning to a wall? im confused thank you very much in advance

@joejones8146

Does not "have to", but if you want a textbook answer you'd rather your dominant leg be straight and non dominant bent. Taller players can get away with bending both

@oneplus5562

5 ай бұрын

Look at the best natural players like zhao Xintongs, thepchaiya,Jack Lisowski etc. they don't care about the leg not being straight or 90 degree angle. Theirs is not the square stance . Having said that, there are coaches who don't vouch for the square stance instead opt for a boxer stance or something in between. Hip grip gap is good and you get more of that when your leg is at an angle like a ladder leaning against a wall.

Great channel,too short. bring ryan day!!

Love the channel, snooker and sport is a great mix, need more golf content. Otherwise as far as snooker, it’s toss up between you and Ronnie, I love Ronnie but I follow you? Love the content, don’t change anything, other than including golf.

I’ve noticed that British people can be very critical of their peers, yet still be polite about it. It’s a fresh of breath air to this American in which we talk stupid clichés and fake humility.

The Gentleman is the perfect nickname. Great player but so self-deprecating. I have always felt that with a bit more confidence, he would have won a lot more
