The fact he puts in his misses and doesn’t edit them out speak volumes of the man

I think the very best never let up on themselves,hence they put in the work needed to be a great player.

The best thing about this, at least for me, was you showing your misses. We all do it, and it's nice to know the best can still get ot wrong occasionally

Lots of respect to the legend. I haven’t had this amount of respect towards him until now. No editing no nothing. He misses and he continues. Respect ❤

Bingo!

I don’t understand how this channel isn’t into the hundreds of thousands as of now. Free tips from arguably the best snooker player to have lived.

Just love how humble he is when he misses. If he can shut up and carry on with reset, everyone should.

​@@EVil-ob8inbarry is literally an older fellow with very good tips. Doesn't have to show you misses for his advice to be good

Been following Hendry since early nineties and he was always cool as a cucumber and great temperament. I'm a big fan of Jimmy but have tremendously respect for Hendry for his professionalism and sportsmanship. In this video, he said "when I was good" shows how humble and genuine this man is. Hendry has nothing to proof, he had won everything there is in the game, including our hearts and I will continue to support him. Keep these delightful videos coming! ( Sending my best wishes from Singapore)

His attitude and "punishment" is awesome to apply and learn. Free advice from the best. Thanks. I appreciate it.

Love that he's left the misses in and he's explaining why he missed. Thank you for this tutorial champ 🍺

I wish snooker was more popular in the US. I am so addicted to this game, and I'm not sure if I'll ever get to play it out in rural America. Regardless, from you and so many other channels, my pool game has become so much better. Keep up the work, Champ! Love the content

"The fact he puts in his misses and doesn’t edit them out speaks volumes of the man" ... Completely agree. Love your videos Stephen. You are one of the best snooker players the world has produced. Thank you very much.

I could listen to Hendry talk about snooker all day. Brilliant channel!

I appreciate his honest non edit video. Thumbs up!

The final blue that was potted in this video wasn't respotted, glad to see that i'm not the only one who forgets to respot a colour after potting it :) I am loving these videos 😎

Including misses makes this channel so much better! Really good channel from the legend of snooker!

Nice work Stephen. You have a nice way about you that makes learning fun and interesting. Many thanks. Gary.

You're still great Stephen and you always will be. These one on one sessions are invaluable and my favourite of your videos. Thanks for giving us this quality content free of charge

Great info on starting again when you miss ,and good that you put the missed shots in too .

Credit to Stephen Hendry , what a bloke ✋

For someone who does'nt have a teacher in snooker, this is the best channel i've seen on KZread. 💪👍 Awesome channel. Cheers from 🇵🇹

This Chanel just gets better and better - perfect mix of interviews and now coaching from the main man himself

Hi Steven You have got your presentation format absolutely perfect , together with the ambience of your studio. What a pleasant environment you have created. Thanks. Doc.

The ambience is really well-crafted, isn't it. :-)

Brilliant to watch and learn from The Maestro.

I wish this channel existed back in the early 90s, when I played almost daily. Such awesome tips. Thanks Stephen! (and crew)

Stephen mentioned the poin on the object ball a few times in commentary today at the masters on BBC. It's like he was talking to us, his YT followers and students.

I wish KZread had been around when I was playing - this stuff is gold.

This is a great channel; the combination of guests, the tough table challenge and this type of tuition video are brilliant. Thanks Stephen!

Stephen, I wanted to let you know that as much as I enjoyed watching you play Snooker, your KZread videos mean more to me as a fan. I get to know you as a person, my hero growing up, which is awesome!

“….when I was, , when I was good” -Mr Hendry, I never knew you have such a lovely personality before. You are top in teaching snooker too, and not to mention it is for free.

It was technically "end of break" when he potted the red before the black as he forgot to respot the blue. 😂 I could watch these all day, Stephen. I don't play anymore, but 13/14 year-old me would've absolutely loved these videos. Thanks so much for making these videos. I saw you at the Crucible in your '97 Semi-Final. I was 16 at the time. You were my sporting hero. I'll never foget staying up late to watch you beat O'sullivan in the Liverpool Victoria Charity Challenge tournament with a 147 in the deciding frame! One of the best displays of snooker I've ever witnessed (from both of you). To this day, I'd still pick you over any other player to clear the table when the balls are awkardly positioned, you were an absolute master break-builder. At your best, you were the best of all time.

Best channel for snooker by a country mile! Thank you Stephen!

7:53 and you still are good Stephen! Great player of the game and still a wonderful delight to watch as a fan of the sport.

I love how he left in mistakes. This is a great channel

Great tone, clear instruction and insight. Thanks Stephen.

What a great video to learn pearls of wisdom from a Champion, fantastic for learning the Game.10/10😃

Thanks for this, Stephen! I can really sympathise with you about accepting that you're not as good as you were once. For someone who won the World Championship 5 times in a row, to now showing us that you make mistakes like anyone else is amazing!

I wish I had seen these videos when I first started playing. So helpful. Essential stuff. Thank you.

Sad bit about discovering your excellent channel Stephen, is there are no snooker clubs within many miles of where I live and I've definitely got a yen to play again. So thanks for that mate ;)

Surely learning from this legend , thank you !!

Much obliged guys, enjoyed that very much, the talk through was top notch.

This channel is GOLD. Thank you, Steven!

How I wish I could get a time machine and show this video to myself when I was 12 or 13. Invaluable advice.

This kind of material is what snooker needs to make it more interesting to young people, when I was growing up there were snooker clubs everywhere, then they became pool halls, I know snooker players have never been in the same lime light as other sport stars like footballers but this vid gave me so much motivation to go for a game of snooker that I'm literally off to go play snooker, if it inspires a 40 yo I can only imagine what it might do for that 15 yo kid who wants to learn more about this great sport, keep up the great work absolutely love this channel!

Learning from the misses... what a great way to show the value of that.

Love this. Especially love that the misses weren't edited out. Great advice to start again when you miss to counter any complacency on the shots.

Didn’t make much of this point . But it’s so difficult to going back to the start once you miss. Especially for beginners as you’ll be missing most visits. Frustration creeps in quickly !

This channel is awesome. Free tuition from a snooker legend

These videos are amazing Stephen. Used to play a lot at the Locarno club in Edinburgh, best snooker hall I've played in.

Love all your videos. Great work

Have suggestion, maybe take the Hendry cue tips on tour to clubs across the UK/World? Even to Secondary/junior schools. Growing up I was never a Steven Hendry fan, Jimmy was my favourite to watch, I know I am not alone in that. However, had KZread existed back then, and I/we were able to watch and observe the real Mr Hendry as a person a gentleman and now a "Virtual" coach to us all. I would have been as I am now a massive Steven Hendry fan. Honest always, delivers tough love to his fellow pro's on commentary and sometimes live when interviewing them. I am certain they listen to and learn from what you say, even if they don't like it. Please keep them coming Steven, and please let me know where I can get one of those cue tips T-Shirts!

Great video again. I'm taking lots from these and applying in practise every Friday night.

Good honest snooker tips from a much respected Man.

I appreciate the honesty. Thank you

Awesome routine & tips; esp potting to middle aiming for far jaw from angle.

these are great videos steve. thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I haven’t played snooker for over 25 years but just this week my friend and I went to a club, local in norwich, my safety play was always good but my potting ability was week, could only manage to pot 4 balls together at the most, I will try this routine on my own, thank you so much Stephen for your help 🎱🎱🎱

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

This is how I practice. Sooo useful and wonderful to have your tips!!! Thankyou Stephen! Love the channel and love what your doing for the sport of snooker with this channel! Keep up amazing work! Thankyou ☺️

Great video. Straightforward, clear instructions, insightful sidenotes, and a continuously amazing Stephen Hendry to guide us. I have just found your channel a few weeks ago, and as I was always a big fan, I keep watching your content. Hope there will be many more new videos coming up.

Love these videos and the production quality is great. Much appreciated keep it up 😁

Thank you Stephen much appreciated

Brilliant!! Thank you

Brilliant thank you, , , ,i love the cue ball with the striking spot on it, very helpful,

Thanks Stephen, You alway is king of snooker in the world

This is absolutely sensational

Awesomely authentic - love the content

One of the best competitors of all time. I spent hours and hours of time watching this legend. Happy New year everybody

Well I hardly ever have the problem of complacency creepin' in during snooker practice, so I guess in a way I'm blessed in that sense 😄 Thanks for the great content!

I wish I had known these tips when I played you at Ingleston (Edinburgh) when we were both about 14 years old. You slaughtered me of course... I had never had a snooker lesson in my life. Still my "claim to fame." Being thrashed by Stephen Hendry was no great shame... since you went on to become 7 times world champion 😂!!

this is the most helpful snooker video i have ever seen

I like the bit when he first missed and said start again. Great lesson in that. Perfect practice makes perfect. Always pushing to be better, never settling for anything less than 100%. Great stuff.

Another great video Stephan liked the bit about de acceleration more on this please 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great video ❤ it’ll be great to have more snooker experiences videos

Fantastic video. So many different ones that are existing and fun.

What a superb channel, and what a humble man the legend is! Great presentational skills and dedication to the game. Great job Stephen

Thank you so much for sharing the technique and tips. You are my hero.

Great tips and drill Stephen! Cheers

A very great video for learning how to control the cue ball:) Hope to see Stephen can share more tips to us, especially for beginners

Thank you Mr Hendry 🙏 God bless you Great training session I will try it

Love these routines, it's actually nice to know even Stephen misses blacks off the spot, these videos have definitely helped with my game.

Excellent tips and it's great seeing what you can do and also how things can get out of hand. Thank you for showing us everything. It's really helpful to see your cueball striking location for most of your shots. Do you have any advice on whether the striking needs to be different when it comes to adding a little bit of side spin? Is it enough to deviate the object ball away from the pocket or is it only for cue ball positioning?

This is genuinely so good man. I love how you explain why you are stunning, screwing etc and what you hope for the shot. If you could go into detail about side more that would be amazing. It’s the one shot I am hopeless at, especially trying to straighten the ball up. If there is another vid of this I’ve missed and some kind soul could point me in the right direction I’d be eternally grateful. Stephen and team keep up the amazing work!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My only criticism is Stephen not releasing videos every day. But then i'd just complain he's not releasing them twice a day. Keep em coming.

Thank you Stephen, that’s a brilliant video. Really helps when you show what your putting on the cue ball to get the reaction and position

great tips stephen im learning loads. A++++

Great tips Steven keep them coming

Thanks so much Stephen, for the willingness to share your wisdom with the world! At some point in the future, I would really love to see a video about how to assess which type of side spin to use to get to certain positions on the table (you gave a small teaser there at 10:50). There are so many factors to consider when using side spin, especially because you can also combine side spin with top spin and back spin, and because the power of your shot affects where you need to aim on the object ball.

These tips are so thoroughly explained and in such a simple way. So valuable for us average players. Much appreciated.

this is great, Thank you so much.

The best snooker channel on here. Insights and observations galore from all participants. As a billiards player it's great to here of SM's interest, he should ask Aonghus McAnally about his ideas for some billiards and snooker matches involving Causier, Ghilchrist and others including him.

Excellent video and channel thanks 🙏🏻

I appreciate the advice 👍

Great channel Steve keep up the good work/videos

This is excellent. I so much appreciate that you are truly focused on people learning from you, what works, what doesn't and to keep going, without making edits. This is gold compared to numerous other 30 seconds videos showing miraculous trick shots where the viewer learns almost nothing.

Having the misses in the video makes you appreciate just how easy the pros make snooker look. Also shows Stephen’s discipline and the reason he was the best in the world.

Good job Thanks for sharing my friend ❤

I love the game, and really respect Mr Hendry as one of the greatest - please keep on putting out videos, they are invaluable to people such as myself. - in the miniscule off chance this gets through - Thank you Stephen.

This is amazing what a legend

Absolute legend! Loving these videos they are so helpful, plus he love Morrissey and The Smiths

Thank you Stephen.

Thank you Stephen. Very nicely explained and easy to understand and follow. What I picked up in particular today (which I never thought about), if you move your bridge hand closer, you can gain more accuracy; distance apart and you are able to generate more power. Also really appreciate, no footage seems edited, but real time, even if you've missed a shot.
