Guys, guys, what are you talking about? Stephen is as silent as a church mouse. It's the players who talk themselves into being distracted. 😛

The "Tough Table Challenge" is really more about "Can Stephen talk you out of a clearance?"

I remember when I was a child playing chess someone once said to me that if you can play really well, even though there are distractions around us, then when it comes to competitions you will be so used to the slightest distraction that you can ignore it and continue playing as if nothing has happened. The same goes for snooker

He was awesome to watch this past week!

Kyren is without doubt my favourite player now - so down to earth. Would love him to win the big ones next season.

It's because Stephen Hendry is who he is, as to why he gets the quality on this channel, which speaks volumes in terms of respect let alone the accolades. Well deserved Stephen, great channel all round!

BreakFromLife's score was higher than Hendry's right? Time to make him do it on your table!

Loved Stuart's performance here, his shot selection and execution. Kyren's was awesome too, was sure he was gonna miss a couple but I was surprised!

Guess you denied them a second attempt or it was nothing to write home about? Si Jiahui would be great on this. Won't be able to understand Stephen so he can just concentrate on potting.

I am totally in awe of this channel. It’s improved my understanding of the game, no end. So, I’m thinking, yeah I get it. Then Stephen and guests start discussing shot selection and no, I really don’t get it!! (Let alone being capable of doing any of it 😁) Absolutely brilliant and hugely entertaining. Thank you!!!!!!

Superb series. Hendry is very good and it’s great to see another side of the players.

Surely its cue sports etiquette to not talk when someone's down on the shot. 😂

Love these videos. Great to see the lads in a relaxed environment and potting for fun, until Stephen decides to put them off with questions 😁😁😁

Toughest thing about the tough table challenge is Stephen asking more and more questions as you get a higher break😂

Stephen is such a kid , he knows won't be able to replicate the score. So he distracts other players and creates his own happiness out of it xd lmao

My late brother was deaf, and a pretty handy snooker player. He might have done quite well on this. :)

Had a go at this myself last week. Was also on a 147, but that damn second red!!!!

I thought this was going to be the two playing an actual frame of snooker on the Tough Table... That would be awesome. Maybe Stephen could play one of the guests that way?

As always enjoyed it Cheers

Plz share where should we look while delivering the cue on the cue ball or the object ball?

Its interesting how these pro think, n how deliberate they are when they play.

Please get Mark Selby and Mark Allen to do this. This a great series and I love it!

Why don't you invite Toni drago or Peter Ebdon for this challenge?

Just to be fair, Stephen, give them a quiet round! You had it!

Every time a player built up a break, Stephen started the non stop questioning technique to disturb the player 😂

I love the way Stephen always walks around with his cue when he's not playing.

Thanks for another amazing video, keep up the good work!

Can't be a coincidence that nobody was speaking to you stephen during yours and your leading.

You have to start playing snooker championships again. You are such a great player Stephen

Yesterday I was on 147 but sadly i missed the second red😢

How much do you learn off of each other on your frame of snooker on you videos?

i absolutely adore these videos but... where are second attempts?! ;)

9 maxi's! No way!... that's fooking brilliant!

Talking and playing … Stephen knows the buttons to press .. great video.. what about getting John Higgins on? Or Steven maguire

How about we incorporate this in all the matches: just two blokes bantering all the way through the frames. Distraction and all allowed. What a blast it’d be! Great series Stephen and you’re still King on Top. But I think it’ll become a great quest for all your colleagues to beat you at it, then to make a century and ultimately score that first 147 on the ttc. Who’s it gonna be?

Hi Stephen, why are most professionals so secretive about their cue specifications? And I want to revert to a maple, like I used to use, but struggling to find a good one, especially 3/4, any suggestions please

Should be called the tough "Stephen" challenge mind games at his best 😂

Stephen! Stop putting them off lol. He was doing well when you were quiet. 😂

I see now what Stephen’s tactic is. As soon as a player gets going he starts asking random questions to put them off. Smart 😂

Haha I was commenting that Stephen always distracts them but then I saw that everybody else noticed it anyway already

Both those challenges were looking good, I was surprised at the missed blacks.

Love the videos

I wanna see Ronnie try this again he was flying on his first attempt

7:08 - Kyren states that John Higgins is the toughest player he's ever played. 9 months later he (12th seed) meets Higgins (13th seed) in the 2024 World Championships quarter final. Kryen won 13 - 8 and looks like he will win it. As I write this, he is 7 - 1 up to the world number 44 Jak Jones after the first session of the final.

Does Kyren's cue still have the bark on? It sounds really rough!

It's amazing to hear the players thought process when taking on certain shots, and you kind of assume they know everything and yet they're asking Hendrys advice.

Why did they only get one try each?

Please get Un-Nooh on that tough table Stephen!

Cloths don’t last long 😂 In the Bar Billiards world, the cloth on a competition table will go for a couple of years or more; until the nap is all gone and it’s virtually bald!

you have to do tough table challenge round 2

Stephen - Sorry, i'm interrupring ur concentration... (to himself - "so i'll continue doing it!") ;DD

This challenge is killing the big guns 😂, not that I would make 1 lol

Please just let them play 😭

Is it Neal Foulds next week?

stephen is very evil with his mouth clacking strategy. haha.

Yehaaa I’m in Australia time zone

Spoiler Alert Next Week On Cue Tips Its Michael Holt 🎉🎉🎉

Jack Lisowski next please Stephen. 👌

How about Stephen allowing the players to concentrate ? the tougher part seems avoiding his distractions.

Stephen getting worried his record will be beat, brings up 147

Looks like snooker and Sheffield need a refurbishment

Peter Ebdon you would need 8 hours to play the challenge

Surprised Bingham didn't fluke his way into the lead.

I can make 147 on tough table challenge any day, any time, any place, any country, any bed only in my dreams

You are still at the top of the table because no one distracted u when u played haha

More like the ignore Stephen challenge 😂😂good vids though

someone starts to do well in tough table challange Stephen: yeah so we made love the other day

yep start talking when they look like they might beat you lol .. dont think he knows hes doing it but it seems like when they start getting a flow going then questions start to fly. ronnie...bingham etc would have been top of the list
