That left handed screw on a 147 is a 10/10
That I will never forget along with that bizarre 147 against Mark King where he asks for prize money for the maxi just after potting a red and a black. Genius
@@thisis008 yh for real man. That was when Ronnie was invested in snooker. It's a shame he doesn't apply him self like he used to. But I gues he has nothing left to prove. Greatest of all time for sure
👍
@Wayne Anthony Holmes Wayne do you ever give up. 2 years ago you told me Ronnie would never win a world title again and what happened? You know nothing about snooker. Back then you were saying trump is the greatest. Now your back saying Hendry is the greatest. Go back bed.
100% agree, this was the best shot ever.
That left handed screw on a 147 has to be the greatest off-hand shots of all time
The shot that typifies Hendry's game the most is the first red, last frame of the 1997 Charity Challenge against O'Sullivan.. It's an all or nothing shot in the decider. If he misses, he loses the match. But no one had balls like Hendry, and he makes the pot, and follows it up with a maximum.
I remember that match…both players astonishing!!!!
Why do people forget how big a scorer hendry was?
Also in addition I would love to see an hour long compilation of these 😅 always was a hendry fan for some reason, though used to live just round the corner from Ronnie. Saw a massive banner outside his house when he won his first world title saying “congrats Ronnie!” Alongside his Mercedes with the 147 number plate. Bet that is worth a few quid.
i was born in the same hospital as ronnie weird to think haha
@T 2017 i’m a bellend, what are the odds
He has a T in his name which stands for twat! Who’d have thought it?!
👍
Hendry was dominant in what was by & large a relative "Talent Vacuum" Davis, White etc past their best. Ronnie at a time of self implosion & the other Class of '92 meant his time to eclipse Hendry took longer. But the fact that at 48 he's still the BEST with Judd Robertson etc makes him the GOAT. I don't think anyone will ever play the Game with more Style & Panache than ROS
Will you ever cover Stephen Lee's technique? The action he gets on the cueball is absurd!
I think he’d be the first one to tell you that he could never replicate the cuepower of Stephen Lee…. I know most of you think he is a disgrace (i am not one of you)..You cannot deny that he had the “Rolls Royce cue action “…. Absolutely loved to watch him play
He just put his weight into the shot.
Not as absurd as the action he gets at the bookies.
Stephen's (Lee) cue action is ungodly!! I think the trouble would be trying to replicate shots!! Side note, betting on yourself to win is not immoral, it's confident!!
Steven Lee ,John Higgins one banned for life practically the other allowed to carry on making millions is that fair?
Hendry was about done by the age of 32 ,so his records in his time frame are better than anyone’s .I would say Osullivan is the most naturally talented player of all time ,Hendry was the best match player of all time .
💗💗💗
I agree with the first part but think Higgins is the best match player of all time
To say Ronnie is just naturally talented is an insult, the amount of work he's put into the game is not something to be dismissed.
@@obi501 Nobody said “just”, you’ve added that yourself.
@@obi501 true but I can guarentee if almost anyone else put the same amount of work in as Ronnie has over his career they would still be nowhere near as good. There's players that invest a lot more time in to snooker than Ronnie who aren't even at his skill floor.
Yet ANOTHER excellent clip! I'm greatly looking forward to someday seeing a pin stuck in Montreal, Canada!
je me souviens..lol
Pressure shots??? Tell me more about O'sullivan's counter snooker against Selby in the 2020 World Championship semi-final!!
In my opinion that shot is one of the most important shots in snooker history, and I believe it actually won him the title that year!!
BTW I am from Jordan 😊
Holy yeah... and the moment he missed the red on the right corner... i almost cried hhahahaha
Yes he won the wsc that year. It depended entirely on that shot alone because if he had gotten it wrong he would have almost certainly have lost the match to mark
For me Ronnie is the best and most likely always will be, I can’t imagine what a player would have to do to make me think “wow he may be even more naturally gifted than Ronnie”
@@rhettsycoplando4064 oh boy
@@rhettsycoplando4064 Trumps not even the best player in the world right now and he’s still in his prime
You should check out Efren Reyes, the actual GOAT.
@@pete5764 Yeah the goat at pool, we’re talking about the big boys game now
👍
man your channel is great😍 from kashan, Iran
im a Scotsman and Hendry being the greatest ever world champion is an amazing thing but Ronnie is from another planet in my opinion, despite the fact he's been more inconsistent, watching Ronnie play snooker is like watching Messi or Ronaldo play football, its monstrous stuff. I remember Ronnie making a 147 in the final frame of a tournament final once, can't remember if it was the welsh or northern ireland open, but the cheek of him to continue playing for the maxi instead of sealing the silverware. He wants to entertain no matter the stage, no matter the pressure, he's a show off, and snooker has needed it since Alex Higgins retired. Judd is another one who tries to entertain and does it brilliantly but you wouldn't see Judd showing off in the final frame of a tournament like that.
I think there's some Sportsmen and women who just realise they are so good at what they do that they can take the mickey a little bit in pressure situations.
Your videos are so informative that I learned how to play Snooker....
Love your videos from Lahore, Pakistan.❤️
I think both are amazing players but Ronnie’s greatness is what really interested me in Snooker so I’m happy with this result. Thanks for the great content from Calgary Alberta Canada
Watching most of your videos...love your flare..Ahsan from vehari Pakistan
Recently got back into snooker after a 20 year hiatus & your vids are helping me improve no end. Regards, Danny, Guernsey.
3:59 Excellent insight into the shot of the decade.
Hendry's all-out attack style makes him the best ever.
O' Sullivan has all the talent in the world though (only White and Higgins may have had more) plus an excellent all round game.
O Sullivan the most talented and most gifted. But hendry was formidable. I think if Ronnie and Stephen played at there best at the crucible in a best of 33 match 50 times, Steven would win 55 and Ronnie 45
The Stephen Hendry shot with the rest on the blue at the Masters I think was more significant to Ronnie's 147. The match at that point was on the ballence compared to Ronnie only making a maximum. Pluss Stephen Hendry was playing the shot with the rest, we all know how good Ronnie is with his left hand. So I think that point should have gone to Stephen Hendry.
I agree. Also had the pressure of playing it with Steve Davis in his seat watching. People not old enough won't know how difficult it was to overcome the man that totally dominated the 80s. Many players before Hendry didn't have the cahoonas under that pressure. It took Hendry a long time to get the better of Steve Davis, had he missed this shot, it might not of happened, making this one of the biggest pressure shots in the history of snooker.
Being a massive fanboy of Ronnie....I have to agree with you. Ronnies was superb, and a more dufficult shot, but was less of a significant pressure shot. Hendry won that one.
Yep think everyones in agreement on this. Where it fell down was someone who's not ambidextrous trying to recreate a shot of someone who is. I see ronnie as the best ever but those two shots, hendry takes it.
👍
Yes I agree with you man.
Vids are awesome! Not to many snooker tables down in South Miami Florida but love to watch the shot recreation videos.
The idea of the video is decent hence the like from me. However, there are much better shots from Stephen that you could have picked but to each his own. For me, Stephen Hendry is the greatest player of all time.
Love this kind of video! More of these please. Love from Burks Falls Ontario Canada
i am from islamabad pakistan and have have learned a lot from you thanks a lot
Awesome! The recreation shots from your videos and I loved it! Loves from Malaysia.
Ronnie had already won the frame, he was on 112 when he screwed it back for black, Hendry's shot on blue was shot played under immense pressure. It was do die shot. Nothing against ronnie but hendry won it there for me.
Maximum dude
Good fun format, enjoyed it
A great video as usual... its hard to say who's the best player of all time, but maybe the most infuential player of all time has to be Hendry. He changed the way the game was played, and brought shots like splitting the pack from the blue into club players everyday shots. I remember in the early 90's local coaches honing in on how ruthless Stephen was, his shots weren't extravigant, which made regular club players feel playing the game like Hendry more achievable than say Jimmy White...... Ronnie is a pleasure to watch, but with his natural ability and hard work its not achievably possible for a club player to aspire, as he plays like he comes from a different planet!
Nice videos keep it up from Pokhara NEPAL 😊😊
This by far is my favorite video. Great effort on replicating those shots. Talal from Riyad, Saudi Arabia
I feel like the 'greatest' is such a subjective term that it really makes it a difficult argument, so I tend to break it down like this:
Ronnie is the most naturally talented player the game has ever seen, but Hendry dominated his era, smashed every record of his day, and actually changed the sport in meaningful ways and paved the way for players like ROS and Selby
Both of these could be arguments for the 'greatest' players depending on what you place more value on
I think you have to break it down into two categories, and neither can truly be considered the best. Who is the most talented? ROS. Who is the harder worker and has done more for the sport? Hendry.
Perfectly put !
Hendry played in a weaker era and faced weaker opposition.
@@michaeltrumph121 thank you for an example of exactly the kind of pointless argument and one-sided reasoning that I have tried to steer this debate away from
I am not saying anything to do with Henry's ability, I am saying that he was an important figurehead in the game, advanced the game in meaningful ways, while also being very talented, I have openly admitted that ROS has more talent
Congratulations Michael, you have contributed nothing
@@LaneyStudios5
_I am not saying anything to do with Henry's ability, I am saying that he was an important figurehead in the game, advanced the game in meaningful ways, while also being very talented, I have openly admitted that ROS has more talent_
And I agree with you completely that Hendry changed the sport and helped it improve, but my point is that he wouldn't have been able to smash all the records had he played against tougher opposition, like Ronnie has.
@@michaeltrumph121 that old boring chestnut ,try to be original and think for yourself
Brilliant video.
The Ronnie left handed red for the 147 is my favourite shot of all time.
What a great shot to recreate it with the rest 👍🏼

Quality mate 👍
Hendry has played greater shots imo. He was a better middle ball and long potter in his prime. But Ronnie has more talent
Fantastic job.
You are amazing!! Very interesting videos on snooker, many greetings from Pakistan, Rawalpindi.
Great videos.Israrkshinwari from Afghanistan ❤️
Ronnie's the best. Ambidextrous, tougher talent pool in his era, more centuries, more 147s, more trophies, and greater longevity, winning the world in 2001 and 2020. Hendry is a legend, but Ronnie's better. When Ron wins his 7th world, the debate will officially be over.
Hendry's greatest skill was his bottle and consistency. His positional play, I think, was better than Ron, but Ron's potting and creativity is better.
Yep. Also, Ronnie has suffered with depression throughout his career, this can only have contributed to down periods and losses over the years. If he can win world titles with 20 years in between I would say that had he not been burdened with depression he could have won 10 World titles by now, easily, maybe more. Have to say though, hendrys positional play will never be bettered.
You think Hendry has a better cue ball than Ronnie? Obsurd
@@Andy-Bodhi I think you mean absurd
@@Andy-Bodhi Hendry never ran out of position like how Ronnie occasionally does.
👍
Great video
Hey I'm Fahad from karachi, Pakistan. Genuinely after watching my game 've improved soo much.
I enjoy so many players within this sport.Ultimately I place Ronnie at the top,but wouldn't argue with anyone who felt that Stephen deserved that position! They both have their strengths. Purely based on a shot making level,my 2 favourite players are Judd Trump and Mark Williams.Jimmy White has certainly had his moments too.All great players and great for the sport.Thanks.☺
Watching you from Benghazi, Libya 🇱🇾✌🏼
Great video! Thanks, and best regards from a Turk in Russia ;)
This was great fun to watch!
But to really decide who is the better player, I'd look at cold statistics like the ratio of century breaks vs. the number of frames played.
SOME OF THE GREAT SHOTS! YOU CREATED BEST OF IT ! APPRECIATED AND LOVE ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN ♥️
Nice video 👍
There is no need of selecting one winner, bit Hendry and Ronnie are tremendous players, a pleasure to watch!
There’s a big difference between “able to play the most difficult shot” and “the greatest ever”.
What separates Stephen from everyone else is his mental toughness, his total psychological domination over his opponents and his almost tedious consistency, which is true of all great sportsmen.
Ronnie has only managed these things for short periods in his career, despite being arguably the better player.
I think you nailed it when you said that Stephen rarely needed to play these shots in his prime, once he was in the balls the break was just over, full stop.
If you are going to judge greatest ever on shot making or the ability to play shots that no one else could, then Jimmy would be better than both these players. Ronnie couldn’t recreate the masse shot on the TV and Jimmy does at his first attempt. He played those shots because of his inconsistency though. I think his rest shot in the 147 may be the best pressure shot I’ve ever seen, it’s hard to identify with the significance of that at the time with it being so long since a Crucible 147.
I’m considering doing more of these in the future with other players could be good with rivals like Judd and Kyren Wilson
@@Breakfromlife Judd vs Jimmy as “Best ever at snooker but not best ever snooker player” (and I’m from Bristol but I’d still go with Jimmy)
👍
For over a decade of Hendry's career he was getting bashed up by everyone. 17-4 and 17-8 against Ronnie O'Sullivan when he was only in his 30's. That's what separates them imo.
The same person achieving 5 in a rows at both Crucible and Wembley (the ally pally now) romping session to spare in world semi final or final, the same person consistently romping 6-1, 7-1, 9-2, 8-1, 6-0, 10-1, 7-0, 9-1, 10-2 etc showing on the scoreboard several times a season year in year out against fellow elite level opposition in big semi finals and finals just aint possible today the way it was 30 or 40 years ago. in truth it hasn't happened and hasn't been possible from about 1997.
I don’t know how you can say Ronnie’s deep screw for a 147 is better than Hendry’s clearance to force a decider in the UK Championship of 1990 against Steve Davis which Hendry would win. Hendry’s shot on that circumstance was more important as the UK Championship is a top three tournament in snooker and started his dominance. Hendry all the way for me on that particular shot comparison.
Respect from Multan Pakistan love your channel 😍👍🏻🆒
Is snooker popular in Pakistan?

Love these videos on my Saturday night. Cheers from Matt, Cape Tribulation, Australia

Hey Matt greetings and blessings from parliament house

There is only one ronnie o'sullivan🙌🙌
Interesting first comment, I am to all intents and purposes an amateur in terms of my actual play but I’ve recently got a new tip and found the same struggle with spin. How long would you say it takes to break it in?
Good video but most of Ronnie's shots were after the frame was already won, while hendrys shots had pressure attached. That has to count for something. The two best players ever.
Definitely do these comparisons again soooo memorable
Judd trump v Jimmy white???
Great video. I often play left handed instead of using the rest. Practicing left handed for a couple of hours a week makes all the difference. Regarding your efforts replicating their shots. Need to mention that your pockets are on a leisure snooker table (huge compared to much tighter pockets on a star table).
Your pockets arent even club table size, so you can be miles off and still pot the ball.
Please make a video on how to practice and play with your opposite hand. Watch Ming you from Edmonton, AB, Canada.
Great shot,I am from hong kong👋🏻
Thank you for a very interesting comparison between these two snooker legends.
Maybe a suggestion for your next "shot recreation" video: instead of trying to recreate each shot in the least amount of tries, use a fixed number of tries (say 5), score each attempt, and compare how close you can get on average.
My favourite ever shot was the one where he moved a red out during a 147 v Williams at 2008 worlds to win the match. He was pretty much straight. That’s probably his best maxi for me as well, even though it is his slowest.
That's the greatest positional shot ever played
I do agree finding shots difficult to find.
As a casual fan I don't know all the numbers and stats to accurately compare the two, but when you factor in things like play style, personality, and entertainment value, Ronnie's always going to come out on top, and he's still (just about?) in his era of greatness, and Hendry....well....isn't, and that's what will drive public opinion, whether or not the stats agree.
Ronnie on top for personality? Lolol. Come off it, that's mental. You must be super-casual😃. Hendry every time on all counts you have mentioned. Both amazing.
I would go Hendry coz his blue v Davis was a murder shot and loses match!!!
Same with the brown v Jimmy...any misses and match gone!!! Plus Hendry had more bottle and harder mentally than Ronnie,but Ron is more talented....so its close but Hendry for me
Great match up boss and fab choices 👏
The part when you said that Hendry's cue ball control is so good he doesn't need to play such amazing shots to get back in position. It says it right there. In any case just because one person plays cool shots and we'll thought out ones compared to some who doesn't have to doesn't mean they are better. I know it's only one person's view. But let not forget just how good Steven Hendry was. Ronnie hasn't won five world titles back to back. Year after year. Because people and people new to snooker only now or recently seen the two players. Yes Ronnie is a great player , but to say he's better than Stephen Hendry i think is wrong.
I have Ronnie at 1 followed closely by Hendry. Could be a tie though.
Great vid impossible for me to choose as Ronnie is undoubtedly the genius but Stephen changed the game
For me, some of Ronnie's most impressive shots have been the perfect speed multi cushion escapes of which I have seen several.
O'Sulivan he has that wow rockstar vibe that popularlise the game and grow it.
Considering that he is not a robot, but has most max breaks ever and like almost as many Crusibles. He is the winner.
He is a bit like Fisher in chess. Kind of greatest ever 7/8 wins. But not the longest carear, but massivly popularise the game.
But I do agree a great worrior dont even have to fight.
But I think if you had to remove one from history who would it be? You dont want to get rid of Ronnie.
Tip top video mate, I'll take the W for now
Hello! Maybe first, maybe last, but I'm your biggest fan.
Ronnie for me is the best player to ever play the game in my opinion. Hendry is definitely 2nd but I have to give it to Ronnie because he’s still one of the best players on tour today and can beat any of the top players. Unlike hendry who started to lose to low ranked players 10 years ago
Higgins prime beats Hendry prime. Higgins for no2. John that is
In my opinion Ronnie is the GOAT, but it's either him or Stephen, no doubt.
Shot one: Hendry
Shot two: O'Sullivan
Shot 3: Hendry (it's incredibly close but purely because it was in a final and he was one frame away from losing I'd give it to Hendry , although O'Sullivan was playing left handed and there is big pressure on a maximum break also)
Shot 4: O'Sullivan
Shot 5: Hendry ( it's very close but again because it's in a final and he was one frame away from losing I'd give it to Hendry, although O'Sullivan was 10-6 behind so there was pressure to get it)
Shot 6: O' Sullivan
Just started playing snooker, love your channel. P.S can I be on the map plz I’m from Kendal in the Lake District
Both great great players hard to say who’s the GOAT let’s say there both but Robinson trump and Higgins are all great players
Conception Bay South lol nice!
Great video! I agree with the outcome. Hamilton, New Zealand
I really would like you to do the same with all best players like judd trump steve davis ,john higgins,mark selby …..
I think Ronnie is the most talented player to ever play snooker.
But Ronnie has never been dominant at any point of his career so I believe that Stephen Hendry is the greatest of all time.
So how does ronnie have 75% win rate to Hendry 69%. Dominance means nothing if your only aying Alan Robideux
👍
Does anybody know the name of the music at the very beginning of the video 0.00 to 1.00
How do you think Judd did at the US pool open? From boston, ma. Love your vids
I thought he might do a little better considering how well he was breaking. Think he was a little unlucky to come up against Jason Shaw so early on
@@Breakfromlife agreed. His cue power also seemed like it was a lot weaker. Do u think it was because of nerves or playing conditions?
@@Breakfromlife The winner breaks format really kinda screws things up and leads to those sorts of blowouts. Jason played well, and Judd got to sit in his chair. Overall, his break was phenomenal throughout the week but his potting was iffy. Would love to see him come back next year! I'd also love an Earl Strickland v. Steve Davis rematch..
👍
@@r3beatty
Winner breaks in 9 ball doesn't guarantee the player breaking off winning the rack every time. The momentum can swing very quickly when the player broke off doesn't pop or goes out of position. Winning 4 racks in a row without the opponemt getting to the table is like making a 100 break in snooker but the first of the 4 racks you didn't break.
There's only 9 balls on the table so to have alternate breaks in a long match would be silly. Likewiae winner breaks on a short match would be silly. In a long match the player losing a few racks in a row without getting a shot on winner breaks may think it's unfair. But like snooker it's about being patient waiting your opportunity, it's very rare in 9 ball that players get completely shut out of the match on winner breaks. You have to allow players in long match format to be able to pot a lot of balls in a row. But like snooker maintaining positiion and potting balls it's all about cue ball control and concentration. It's ridiculous for anybody to suggest it's easy in 9 ball. It's just a different code from snooker.
4 attemps to get the Ronnie's 'Judd' shot?
You forgot to count all the other times you have attempted it 🤣🤣
Also, I heard Barry Howard from Dunoon in Scotland is still looking for a pin up... apparently he's been asking since before covid was a dirty thought in his dad's baws 😁😁
u have to put under your consideration that u r playing shots which u already know how it was played . u have to put individual marks for taking the decision itself to play the ball that remarkable way . regaaardsss .. Ayman from Qatar
Goats in action...
Ronnie is the goat for quite some time now. I can recall at least a dozen of Ronnie's shots that were memorable. Ronnie is also the ultimate break builder with more than a thousand centuries. And to finish Ronnie has more triple crowns and altogether more trophies than hendry. End of a debate that never was in the first place.
In any sport, it’s impossible to compare different eras . If Stephen had of started with Higgins and Williams with Ronnie , his game would have been even more advanced than it was . Same with Davis etc.
Great video, but I bet we could argue the outcome both ways all evening over a pint in my local in Los Angeles.
Just a suggestion - if you're forced to play a shot left-handed, could you set up the table in a mirror image and flip it back around in post ;)
the king of the crue cible s.hendry is goat with 7 title champion of the world
Ron is the greatest 21 majors 39 ranking titles the most centuries and 147s his longevity is legendary and will be his legacy and world number 1 at 46 🙏
