  • 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!

      @@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.

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)..

      @@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.

    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.
