I can definitely say this was a bit of fun. It's great to see Stephen so relaxed. They definitely went easy. Never seen this game before, cheers TH-cam recommendations. Sometimes you get it right. 👏
No shots with an half cue and no pocket called that illegal shot.. 😂 give it a break it’s a bit of fun ref was acting like it was a final of a tournament 😂
Love seeing Stephen Hendry able to show his personality and look relaxed and just having fun. It's great to bring back this true talent on the small table.
This is one of the top 10 greatest pool moments. Just cause it shows to outsiders how cool pool players can be. I don't know anything about this jolly asian guy, I just know he's a fuxking bad ass.
That bald guy didn't want to lose," no call pocket, no call pocket " It's an exhibition game and it was obvious where he was shooting the ball,it's not like it went around the table and ended up in another pocket. He played a simple shot that was so obvious he probably didn't know that he had to call it out
Aligns the balls so that they are all touching - if all balls are not touching, it can affect the run of the balls at the break off so it's very important in pool especially with the pace they break at
Ronnie can't maintain his standard , he's definitely not as good as he was He used to be favourite to win tournaments , I've seen him at 11-1 at the start of tournaments The bookies prices sort of give you a clue.
@@spicekid2582 … yes, because he could no longer maintain his playing standard. That is why he retired. He didn’t want to continue if he wasn’t able to perform to the level he once could & who could blame him. Mentally that is hard to deal with. As I said, it’s just such a shame, he couldn’t maintain it. The other three players have been able to do this however and are still able to perform at the highest level, all still ranked in the top 10 more than 25+ years after turning professional. Incredible.
I grew up with zitty Hendry winning everything. I'm quite happy that I don't have to watch that any more. It's quite nice to see him relaxing and becoming less single-minded as he gets older.
what's the rules for pool about leaving a rest or a que on the table? Technically I thought it was ok and up to the player but if a ball hits it then it would be a foul, or i could be wrong...?
Would be fine in snooker I think, Chinese pool may have different rules or this ref maybe just determined to spoil the fun 🤷♂️ if you think about it, almost all shots with a rest have something on the table...the rest.
Why? They'd get destroyed? Same if a snooker player plays the best pool players now. Don't believe me? Jayson Shaw absolutely destroyed judd Trump 9-0 at the usa open and jayson didn't even win the tournament.
I only know stephen hendry as a fat uncle who is really good at snooker and do some tough table challenge. I don't know the skinny Hendry. Those chinese players are moving like fucking machines
@@mistatrollge3184 lol you're funny. How many times have you seen a table in your dreams? 😂😂 I mean really, how many times have you played the game? By saying silly stuff like that means you have not got a clue what you're talking about. Snooker table is HUGE, with small balls and small pockets. It's anything but shooting balls into a pocket. It's about precision and positional play to even shoot anything to the pocket, not to mention the safety standard you must have in order to even think about shooting anything to the pocket. You cannot compare any game (i mean cuesport) to it when it comes to difficulty. The only exception would be Russian pyramid. PS. I'm not a brit! So even here you have no idea what you're talking about. 😂😂
What has Steven Lee got to do with this please? Unless you were mistaking him for the fat English player ( Chris Melling ) Not saying you were but that's all I can come up with as to why you wrote such a random comment.
@PlayMoreGolf-RipOff No he wasn't that was Chris Melling a pool player,looks quite similar. That's what I was saying about you mistaking him for the fat bloke ( Chris Melling )

loved how the referee was the biggest buzzkill to ever do it, and the two legends still managed to make a show out of it.
Referee wasn't getting the punani in months probably 😂
@@NittyGritty85 could be it. 😂

Hendry said to ref at the end "thanks for making it fun" 🤣🤣
but he didnt know what "fun" meant...
Love the passive aggression from Stephen to the ref!
"Why so serious?" LOL

Thanks for making it fun🤣🤣🤣
Henry piled on the beef since this
Defo but why not he's retired in his late 40s I believe
@@findlay1arches 55. Yeah, just more surprised how thin he was here and the difference in a short space of time.
'Thanks for making it fun' 😆
The referee is a bit dupe, no fun, it was an exhibition game
Good to see Hendry looking slender, he put on way to much timber a while back. Both are genius cuemen 💙
When did this game happen?
Super cool!
I think at the end of the day it was a fun match that all 4 players saw it as and no seriousness at all except.
Alex Pagulayan and John Morra would be fun to see play Hendry and Garth
Where's the other half of Hendry gone
What year is this from Gareth?
When was this??
Snooker player with a jump cue, I've seen everything :)
This is one of the top 10 greatest pool moments. Just cause it shows to outsiders how cool pool players can be.
I don't know anything about this jolly asian guy, I just know he's a fuxking bad ass.
16:30 ish… what a smart break
Gareth Potts - what a cool name for a Pool player 👍
Ha oh yeaaah
I'm proud to be a Potts. :D
Brother in law of mark Selby I think.😊
Questionable patterns from Steven in that first frame 😁
Why did the ref stop Stephen from potting the black ball with his half a cue he wasn't hurting anyone
How well does Gareth Potts?
We can guarantee this happened way before Stephen went on instagram posting his high-calorie food on a daily basis
Ye i wish it was stop saying days ago with a lot of these clips because most of them are always years old.
🤣
@@allynaysmith8119 he still give anyone a 7 baller, with a random branch offa tree out the car park don’t you worry about that 😂😂😂😂
Beyond strange comment
I clicked for Hendry and Potts, but what a joy to watch their opponents play as well, excellent match! 👏

that was the ref not the bald guy
I'm bald now shut up
@@spicekid2582 grow some hair then. What kind of failure are you?
The irony is that they actually discussed it openly before Stephen took the shot. You can hear them speaking.
9:51 insane break with an open bridge lol
I want to see World 9-Ball and 10-Ball competitions played on Chinese 8-ball tables. A lot more defense would come into play.
this is the game...more drama...people are tired of routine American pool
@@paleshelter5376 I agree. American pool is boring. There are exciting moments, to be sure, but at the elite level, pool is too easy.
"No call pocket" --- That's a bit strict
Hendry's put some timber on since this jesus
Jeez when was this, Hendry looks so thin
2015
@@Gazzi79 7 years have not been kind lol
Hendry may be classed as boring in snooker but by far the best player iv seen
How ?
I never found him boring. Probably coming from Ronnie fans, as usual.
Hendry was never boring. He was the most attacking player the game had ever seen. I think you mean Steve Davis, who had the boring reputation.
I am sure some people use the term "by far" without really stopping to think what it actually means.
What is the white template under the balls that the ref takes away after the break and whats its purpose
Aligns the balls so that they are all touching - if all balls are not touching, it can affect the run of the balls at the break off so it's very important in pool especially with the pace they break at
With the restrictions lifted, hopefully we’ll get to see these guys back in China soon
What restrictions?
@@mattdubovik3082 cos Chinas borders were pretty much locked down for 3 years due to Covid
Were they joking about the pocket not being called? Can't say I saw many other calls being made that weren't 8 balls. Fun to watch nevertheless
Gareth teaches to Chinese players so its not a wonder why he was applauded.
Who are the two gents that look like Blofeld and young Oddjob, just a random pair of pros or the biggest names in China?
When was this recorded?
2015 according to one of the signs in the background
Steven looks absolutely different😮 when the heck was this?
It says 2015 on the boards around the side (although I don't have a clue what anything else says, so might not be the year!)
@@peasngravy thanks
It’s so sad that Hendry couldn’t maintain his standard like Williams, Higgins and O’Sullivan have done as they’ve hit their late 40’s.
That's because he retired for years
Ronnie can't maintain his standard , he's definitely not as good as he was
He used to be favourite to win tournaments , I've seen him at 11-1 at the start of tournaments
The bookies prices sort of give you a clue.

Anyone knows what year this was ?
2015 it says on the wall I think
@@bbqqueef2165 thanks
Is this recent?
No ! 2015
This wasn't any time recently was it...
Poolker!
Whats the Problem at 18:15 ?
No cow
Hendry.
Darren appleton
2015
Amuses me that the Chinese players have 5 cues between them and the Brits managing with just two XD
Why do they use that strip of paper under the balls? Surely it's better to just have markers on the actual cloth.
Hendry looks slim here
Why were they taking it in turns after potting? I don't get it
Two forms of doubles, visits and shots - playing shots here.
It’s great watching snooker players go up against pool players at their game but when are we going to see pool players attempt snooker?
Why? They'd get destroyed? Same if a snooker player plays the best pool players now. Don't believe me? Jayson Shaw absolutely destroyed judd Trump 9-0 at the usa open and jayson didn't even win the tournament.
The Chinese seem to have smaller cue tips than the Brits? 8mm? 10mm?
9.8mm- 10.5MM
You can’t play like a snooker player on an 8 ball table!
Chinese 8-ball table so....snooker style pockets and cloth and rails. Yes, you can but not that way Hendry did.
NO CALL POCKET
Why so serious?
I only know stephen hendry as a fat uncle who is really good at snooker and do some tough table challenge. I don't know the skinny Hendry.
Those chinese players are moving like fucking machines
so chinese 8 ball is just american 8 ball but played with snooker pockets and cloth?>
my got Stephen put on a lot of weight
Actually he looks a lot skinnier here than normal which makes his current shape seem even more well... rounded.
@@aurigo_techI think that’s what he meant.
This is such a simplistic game compared to snooker 😂😂😂
Abd yet Hendry, the snooker GOAT, is missing shots and playing bad position. Says a lot
If you think that's simple, what you think of US pool than? 😂
@@moviemaster00000 you can imagine I guess 🤣😂
What's so complex about snooker? You shoot balls in a pocket. You brits are funny
