      Ronnie is a genius all round but Hendry's play was absolutely autonomous & methodical. I think people forget how good he really was. I would love to know how much further he could have went if his cue didn't get smashed to bits, or if he kept the same enthusiasm for the game

      @@leighhills1 I think hendry was a genius himself. People go on about Ronnie been a genius and he is. Hendry changed the game. Long red straight into the pack no safety at all went for every pot. Didn’t see miss a ball in the middle pocket for what seemed like years. The cue getting smashed killed him.

    The vibe and atmosphere of the big tournaments in the 90s was so much better somehow. You could even feel it to an extent watching on tv. I find tournaments now have so little atmosphere or special feeling to them. Part of it is the way the arenas are all so tacky, plastered all over with online gambling ads. At least the cigarette companies put some real effort into making the arenas more stylish and grand. They didn't have about 50 of their brand logos everywhere. I think also more young players were driving the game at the very top and putting some real personality into it. Audiences seemed to really ROAR more often and possibly the commentators didn't talk over everything quite so much and were more soft-spoken. All these things served to draw your focus into the battle and emotion of a good match far more and the top tournaments also just had a far more bespoke and special design and feel to them.

      Because back on the days they allow audience to really enjoy and express themselves when watching snooker, now they almost force the audience to stay like they're in a funeral... That's why shoot out event is special, still get this old tournament vibes, when snooker wasn't so snob

      Somehow they're forgetting the origins of snooker, was invented to stay in that old English pubs and despite the controversy of the alcohol/, tobacco thing, the truth is that kind of the thing makes the game much more enjoyable to watch

    Ronnie is so much better now, his match play especially and his safety game is one of the best in the world since around 2000 when he started working with Ray Reardon. The main reason he is world number 1 again and still playing so good. You could see how bad Stephens safety game was in this and was always a big weakness especially later on in his career. You never fancied him to win any scrappy or tactical frame with all the hard match players. Is is beyond any doubt what so ever only to a blind and negative Scotsman that Ronnie is the GOAT, Stephen is still in my top three of favourite players behind Ronnie and Selby though. What Ronnie is achieving in snooker winning triple crowns in 4 decades and being world number 1 in them and nearly 50 years old. He really is a freak of sport in any capacity, the guy is up there with Pele Ronaldo, Messi, Federer Nadal, Schumacher Phil Taylor in darts.

    Ronnie is the Best as he has proved over and over again but when he over cut the blue then just got the Yellow barely and rushed the green, i thought this has missed and he did by a mile. SO FAST even for him, in the safety at the end too, he was just getting down and hardly feathering and BANG, balls going everywhere, Hendry is so careful and measured and that ending could have gone either way very easily...

      @ebell kwontol He's admitted it himself that after his dad was jailed he just went out partying etc from1995 , foe five years. He was always good enough. He just needed to mentally grow up.

    When this Guy decides to put his cue away, can see snooker dying a little as the Rocket is why snooker is watchable,
    And can just picture it when Stephen Hendry also lost his World Title the first time as his face soon dropped,
    But got to be in it to win it as can't win them all, only the crowd,

    As it seems to be with all fields the current elite are there because they stand on the shoulders of giants. In tennis Nadal, Federer and Jockovich at their prime would beat Connors, McEnroe, Lendl, Sampras etc. at their prime but only because there was a Connors, McEnroe, Becker etc. before tham. Science is the same, and snooker greats of today would beat the Reardons, Alex Higgins, Steve Davis, and Hendry in their prime because those guys had their prime to push the sport forwards.

    Hendry had to much pride and that was his downfall. He refused to get help with his game in any form and ended up retiring too early. Player like ronnie looked for extra help throgh ray readon for example. Hendy felt as tho he was so good that no one could help him in any way.

    • @oliverlong4963
      @oliverlong4963 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pride? Hendry actually said recently that he regrets getting as much help as he did because in the end he wasn't sure which coach to listen to when taking a shot. Higgins said it was strange that Hendry got coaches in when his game was natural and he never understood why he did.
      Hendry's downfall is likely because he was so dialled into snooker in the 90s over everything else and burned himself out. Ronnie obviously was very different and maybe we see that in his longevity.

    13:36 After playing the EASY green, Ron deliberately raised the club rest in the air, waiting for the old referee to put it back.. .
    14:17 definitely this old referee said something mean and nasty to Ron, making both players look so weird... .

  • @jklimtsc
    @jklimtsc ปีที่แล้ว

    Not taking anything away from Ronnie, he holds all of the records and therefor is the GOAT on paper but Hendry was better. The two players in their prime Hendry was better. Ronnie has 21 majors to Hendry's 18 but Hendry did that in a significantly shorter time span (10ish years vs Ronnie's 30 year career). Hendry also did something (twice) that Ronnie has never done, won all three majors in the same year. It's a lot like the Tiger vs Jack debate in golf, both men are exceptional, one holds the major record while the other is the best player to ever hold a cue/club.
