- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 พ.ค. 2024
- We're back into the world of pool with Gareth Potts, as he takes us through 5 extremely difficult shots and routines. Stephen and Gareth take turns at attempting these expert pool shots, whilst having a good chat about technique, snooker players in pool and pool's massive prize money.
We finish the video with a best of 5, will Stephen get revenge for last time? Regular viewers might remember the double that Gareth talked Stephen into, which ultimately cost Stephen the win. Stick around until the end to find out!

Great content as usual. This gives snooker players an entirely new perspective on just how good elite pool players are. It's worlds away from pub pool.
If they were any good they would have been in the snooker circuit. Pool is just so much easier
@@vacantplanet This simply isn't true. Pool is now much more lucrative than snooker and many just chose to play pool for this reason.
I think we will see a mass exodus of snooker players to Chinese 8 ball in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how many of them thrive. No doubt they're great potters but the nuances of pool will find many, if not all of them out.
@@vacantplanet It´s a different game, which needs different skills, these skills need time and experience to develop. Pool on the highest level is extremely difficult. There are only a couple of players who are on that level just like in snooker. Pool is lot more popular than snooker though (worldwide)..
It's quite simply a different game, worlds apart, ping pong vs Wimbledon. I, personally, detest pool and do not wish to see it on this channel. I will just stop watching it if it keeps up.
@@jameswalkden7499 I watch and enjoy just about every cue sport that's going, from Snooker to Russian Pyramid, Carom to One Pocket. They all require great skill at the elite level of the game and all require an entirely different approach depending on the discipline.
I just love how into it Stephen is :))
I love how much he hates to lose and is not very good at disguising it.
Which is a good thing and a trait that made and makes him so successful.
I love snooker but there are snooker fans who can get quite snobby when talking about other cuesports. Meanwhile you have one of the best snooker players of all time being really open to it!
@@seanscanlon9067 No.. he's open to Potts. he respects him. he's very snobbish when it comes to cue sports lol
Ah, we're all some kinda snobs over something we love @@Juventinos
You have the thing too where it puts the reply name at the end! Why is it only some of us I wonder... @@AD-kv9kj
Please do more videos with Gareth, they are some of my favourites on this channel
Yes and less adverts, they ruin it
These videos are how I found this channel!
The energy and smiles from you both is great to watch you can hear the passion and love for the sport off Potts. 👍
you wanna see energy and smiles, go watch STEPHEN LEE at a mcdonalds
17:35 when Stephen got down and just shot right away with no waggles, I felt that in my soul.
😂
As a snooker player I always looked down my nose as it were at pool players. My god how wrong of me. It's always really interesting when Gareth comes on the channel and his knowledge of pool and cue sports is absolutely 2nd to none. Thank you so much. Real respect 😀😀😀😀😀
Stephen calls pool 'checkers' and snooker 'chess' but if you listen to top pool players like Mick Hill analyzing pool layouts, it can get pretty bloody complex. The top players are thinkers.
@@dhirajpallin2572 it does still require a lot of thinking and skill but it is still not comparable to the skill levels needed with a cue that snooker demands.. yeah pool is definitely checkers to snookers chess
@@seed8325 chess is not a game of hand/eye control though it's a game of patterns, memorisation and calculation. And in that respect I think English pool has far more of that than snooker. For example, pool players typically think 7 balls ahead, whereas snooker players usually only think about 2-3 balls ahead. The patterns and situations a pool player has to deal with are typically also a lot more varied.
@@dhirajpallin2572 the metaphor has gone over your head.. snooker is by far the harder cue sport.. the metaphor is that chess is harder than checkers.. basically snooker is a harder cue sport than pool when you look at the game as a whole. yes pool takes skill but we have seen world champion snooker players beat world champion pool players in tournament setting .. its there, its documented.. but i have yet to see a professional pool player even slightly trouble a snooker player on a snooker table in a professional tournament setting. if i am wrong then please link the video and il be here waiting in the meantime
@@seed8325if you "really" study Snooker, it is mainly discipline, in containing to keep the cueball in position!... where Pool is following the plan/pattern from start to the end.
Hendry's eagerness and pleasant demeanor is what makes these videos. So approachable.
Stephen: ‘I’ll take it”
Gareth: ‘I thought you might’ 😂😂😂
So good to see Stephen genuinely impressed with the shots and skills. ❤
They were like teenage friends at 9:00. It's nice to see that enthusiasm is still there
I love how serious and competitive Stephen is! He say’s everything with a laugh after to seem like he’s just joking but you can tell by his face how competitive he takes it 😂
He hasn't changed, I loved when he played John Terry on this channel and just gave him a 70-odd point lead because he isn't physically capable of going easy on someone.
@@billypribbo9668 absolutely, he’ll always have the competitive drive! I think he’ll say he’s happy for Ronnie if he gets an 8th title but deep down he’ll likely be seething 😂 regardless, second best to ever do it isn’t too shabby if you ask me haha
Love the pool content, good to see the game growing. Different set of skills.
Gareth is just a great guy too, him and hendry have great chemistry
Stephens raging face at 9:45 ...utterly hilarious. Love it when his competitive side comes out.
stephen hates losing so much its hallarious. mark of a champion
One of the best things about this channel is they don't edit out the misses
Love watching the pool content! Would love to see you play with Chris Melling too! He is very entertaining to watch play, as well as a great personality on videas. You two together would be a match made in heaven!
Love it! Chris Meiling can play all 3 different cues sport
Two smashing lads, this is a Sunday treat like bullseye use to be. I love it.
STEPHEN LEE sunday treat is a triple bacon xl cheeseburger at Burger King
Hendry is an amazing presenter, so respectful of the people he has on.
Brilliant this. Gareth is very generous with sharing his knowledge and he makes it look so easy.
Thanks Stephen.
You two are so funny together. Like children. I love it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loves it! Authentic, and encouraging to me. I know everyone misses but this shows that which encourages me.
I prefer the more defensive-minded strategy of snooker, but the attacking/tactical aspect of pool is cool too. There should definitely be a tournament with both disciplines included. There are so many possible formats as well.
This was such a great video! Smiled and laughed along almost non-stop! 😆
I could watch steven all day long you will learn something new every time he's on
Another great video. Absolutely love watching these every week.
Still missing STEPHEN LEE though!
There was a competition 20+ years ago called the Lindrum Masters. American 8 ball, 9 ball, snooker and billiards.
I love it. I play pool mainly but snooker once a week. The idea of big name snooker players coming to the pool world is an exciting prospect and pool is a very different beast tactically.
As a pool player at high level myself I love this content. Great to see Stephen acknowledging the skill needed in this game like snooker.keep it up Stephen 👏
Love these - Gareth's a lovely lad, and he's mustard at Pool...
This was such a great video! Smiled and laughed along almost non-stop!
Im a snooker fan but I bloody love this guy. Keep getting Gareth on every couple of months if you can.
That was fun to watch. I really enjoy your channel.
Love your channel Stephen. Especially with other players. Gareth is a great guest.
Gotta love how unapologetically competitive Stephen is haha
Love this one. Look forward to these videos each week 🎱👌🏻
Genuinely feels like Hendry enjoys this more then the snooker content. With snooker i think it must be hard to come to a game he's mastered throughout his life but now lost the edge for and find the motivation to climb the mountain again, but with pool its like being in a whole new world and he seems to be loving it, especially when being shown by a master like Potts.
Really enjoyed this episode. Would like to see you guys play a snooker frame.
Great video! Also the multi-cuesport idea is a great one. American pool, 8-ball pool & snooker would be great to watch
Does this perhaps mean Mark Selby is coming on the channel soon? In any case, these videos with Gareth are so entertaining and interesting to watch!
Keep up the great work stephen, love your channel
Stephen, this is literally one of my top TH-cam channels. Every video is so entertaining. Keep up the good work.
Mr Hendry, a Snooker legend, this is great stuff to see. Really enjoying watching these vids.
You can see the disgust Stephen has when he misses a pot, clearly it still stings! Always the competitor 👏🏽
Keep doing what you're doing. Found out you had a channel couple of days ago and this is so enjoyable to watch. Can't wait to watch the Bullard episode will pick that up tomorrow. Hours worth to catch up on now! So glad stumbled upon this.
One of the best channels on TH-cam this
This is great would love to see more videos with other cue sports
You're having so much fun! Stephen.
When Stephen potted the white straight in the centre haha brilliant
loving the pool content.
Bro. Absolutely loved the content. Great to watch these two. Enjoyed it even more than the first time they got together. Stephen learning fast. I’m impressed. I like the ideea of a mixed cue sport tournament like Gareth was saying but we all know that will only be one winner and that is selby. Not my favorite by a long shot but there is no doubt he is the best ever all around cue sports player ever.
True
Sorrindo aqui no Brasil vendo estes excelentes jogadores na piscina. Muito obrigado
I love this channel 😍
Would love to see you play Gareth in a best of 3 or 5 in snooker. I think it would be close.
Great lads Gareth & Stephen
That's just perfect training and off the scale control and potting by Gareth 😮
Love these 😊
Gareth has a great personality, seems really humble no ego on him at all
Another great video.
Great stuff and funny!
Thanks Gareth..
Great video as always
Hey Stephen, love the channel, watching your tips has helped me better my snooker techniques and I wanna thank you for being such an inspiration! Keep it up big man!
Brilliant!! Best one yet.
This is fantastic
Nice table. You can tell Gareth has had some snooker time.
Love it!
Would love to see a couple of frames of snooker between these two!
this my favourite video so far
would love to see them play a longer race this was really fun
Class!
If two of the greatest players ever went 1 for 10 on shot #1, I think I'll just play a safety. LOL. Fun video, thanks for sharing!
You can see in Stephens eyes when he starts getting competitive
Absolutely love the pool content with Gareth he is great. Also think you should do more pool Stephen $1000,0000 sounds pretty darn good
Fantastic 😊
Lol at this guy trying to teaching Hendry 😂😂😂
i love these pool vids
I love to see you play pool its a completely different game to snooker, but I would like to see you and Gareth on the hard snooker table, I think he would do well
brilliant entertainment, cheers
That was fun thanks
