    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!

    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.

    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.

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?

    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.

    When Stephen Hendry was at his career peak, he was a player that if he put the practice in place he didn't worry about who his opponent was. He had goals in a game, probably the first was a good start? A hundred break or a clearance was a stastic that he accomplished so many times and that made his opponents understand that he wasn't going to make it easy for them. Falling over the line for a opponent was never a option while Stephen Hendry was playing, every player had to play their best to beat him and that's why there's so many memorable games attached to his career and the wins to prove it.

    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 UA-cam 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!
