Stephen Hendry has single handily rekindled my love of snooker after a 15 year hiatus. Ever since finding this channel last year I've just gotten more and more in to snooker again, watching games, old clips, classic matches etc. Even thinking of going to my first live event. This man is such an asset to snooker and one of the best ambassadors the sport could ask for. Love your channel Stephen, hope you're enjoying it as much as we are watching it. Take care.

Pure honest content that is simple yet uniquely satisfying. 🙌 Love you Mr H 👍

Yesss I love Tian! Big Bird is a big player who comes to life on the big occasions. He does himself a disservice too when he says he was ranked about 48 at his best - his high ranking is 41 so far. If he can find consistency from one season to the next, that'll change very quickly though!

Another interesting video! Didn't believe Stephen when he said Ding didn't used to have that double pause timing but my god he's right. Just watched a video from 2005 and he went thru in one motion. Still he must have had it for quite some time now because it always caught my attention. Only time he doesn't do that nowadays is when he uses a lot of power. In that case he basically has no pause at the back at all.

That was a great video! 💪

I think both should be allowed to be called the GOAT, Hendry's domination in the 90s and very early 2000's (Hendry beat Ronnie in 2002 World Championship) and Ronnie's domination for the last 15-20 years with better players. People forget that Hendry didn't have many tournaments so makes me wonder how many centuries Hendry would have made if we had this format back then in his prime. I didn't watch Hendry in his prime unfortunately.

Stephen uses the same analogy that I've always used when people apologise about bad English, they speak better English than I can their first language

When you use a trace/touch of helping side, do you have to make the adjustment and allow for the deflection and throw of the cue ball or just go for the aiming point you chose as if it was centre ball striking? Please guide.

I used to live in Dalian!!!! I was the English Programme Head at the Polytechnic there.

Never really followed Tian, but he seems such as nice guy.

Great conversation as usual. Would have been nice to hear Tian's thoughts on the match fixing scandal pertaining to the Chinese snooker players, but guessing that presents quite a quandary for Stephen being employed by World Snooker.

I went to see these two play in a qualifier in September last year in sheffield

What a lovely man. Hope he can return to the crucible for a 3rd time

It is a shame that in the UK its hard to find places to play whereas in China they are in walking distance from anywhere. But i have noticed over the years that any american pool tables from the clubs have been disappearing as the sole focus is chinese 8 ball. I have been playing chinese 8ball for about a year pretty regular now and i can see how much i have improved on cue action and accuracy thanks to this game.

Tian seems like a great nice guy

Amazing

We hope to see you with marco fu soon

Nice! :D

His English is seriously impressive. He's practically fluent. Probably difficult to feature many Chinese players because of their limited English, but no such worries with tian

Stephen please try your best at the world championship qualifier's. It will be tough, but if you get to the BBC TV 1st round you will be headline sports news. With huge audiences and you might get far as you will try hard.

Stephen Hendry can you take us a Backstage Tour around more Snooker Tournaments on the channel?

*What oil has Tian done his cue with ??? ... I wanna do mine that colour - nice vintage look*

Tian, one of the nicest and approachable guy on tour!

What a top geezer he is!

Suggestion! Please do a podcast style talk like over a table or couple of chairs. Honestly playing snooker kind of distracts from the candid conversation.

The dedication of the chinese players to the game is incredible I can only imagine how hard it is to leave home at a young age to go a country so radically different and being unable to speak the language .

Is there a place in which we can write questions for Steve to ask the people he invites ?

Such a pleasant decent guy!
