Ken is still so capable, probably got a lot of natural talent. I wonder if he tried a mental coach once, because he used to be the comeback king and I do think he is one of the old-timers who really still has a decent game, even to go deeper in a tournament.
Yes he had more the Higgins or Williams all round game with no real huge weakness. If anything he should have a better chance than Hendry with his more patience and much better tactical and safety game than Hendry. He fits more into the mould of the modern player.
Ken is so good at articulating in a clear way. These two have marvellous chats. I'd love to see more of their conversations. Hopefully, Ken is on a bit more, please? 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I've never seen a channel on TH-cam hit 100K subscribers as fast as Stephen has! It's a testament to the quality and relevance of the show. Well done, Stephan!!!
What a great routine this is to bulid up your breaks. Like Ken says how no current players have approached Stephen or Ken himself for help or advice. Cracking content as always. This channel is fantastic
Ken and Stephen complement eah other so well in a setting like this. Cracking video and I love Ken's routine. I wouldn't have a chance in hell to get anywhere with it at the moment, but still!
Honestly I am so happy you started this channel Stephen I don’t know how to thank you. Us regular snooker fans watching two of the biggest legends of the game just shooting the shit and practice a snooker routine is absolutely amazing to watch. We watched you all playing hours and hours fighting and winning trophies but there’s nothing like watching you all relaxed just enjoying playing and sharing snooker knowledge with us. Thank you again for the million time for starting the channel
That's a fantastic routine! Can see how good this is for getting a mental blueprint of the angles and improve cue ball control. Thanks Stephen and Ken 👌
Would love to see someone attempt the lowest possible complete clearance break of 72, involving 15 reds/15 yellows and all the colours. Much harder than a 147.
Just sorry to hear the news about your hospital visit and I hope you make a quick recovery it was good to see you in the seniors snooker tour on channel five a couple of months back any way best wishes to you and your family xxxlol ❤❤❤ ps all the best 2:54
I think Stephen would be a great break building coach. Wonder if you can get Stan Moody on for the tough table challenge. Haven't seen him in action yet
Cheers for this. Another routine to add my ever growing list of routines. 🤣 I can see it definitely helping with striking the correct side of centre. Last thing you want to be doing with this routine is trapping the white
@Masters Champion Judd Trump Top Notch and TOP NOTCH CHANNEL. This channel is helping many people across different countries from 2 great players, one an absolute Legend, there have been a good few players on here sharing their knowledge, try be more positive, instead of going looking for 2 word comments that your reply is just negative. Stop talking rubbish as well. To say these things you obviously know nothing of the past nor Davis nor Hendry. Two completely different players, but both conquered a whole decade, it took underhanded tactics to stop Hendry and he had already achieved in a decade WITH CLASS of 92 THERE, what no one has done since. Davis was like a robot very hard to get past, then Hendry became the standard bearer that all looked up to as he raised his game so that everyone else would. Hendry was unique and on his own level at one point. It's easy copying players syle and being similar as the rest just like a lot of todays "so called" high standards, well think about someone with todays standards then absolutely changed the game and raised above the rest, THAT was Hendry. Obviously you are jealous of the mans achievements. Call yourself a snooker fan knocking 2 Legends, this is what is wrong with this generation of fans, they think they know better, when in fact they don't. I watched snooker since the 80s, haven't seen anyone come close to the way Hendry was during the 90s very early 00s until the threats and then his cue broke was probably the catalyst to him sliding, but he already had 7 WC, so job done. Davis/Hendry/Osullivan/Higgins are the best I've seen, guys like Williams/Selby/Trump are close but missing something extra, like these 4 I mentioned. White was gd as well at the time, but obviously the drink/drugs just got to him, same with A. Higgins. Probably Hendrys recent comeback to why some of these daft "Higher Standard" Hendry would not stand a chance nonsense comments. The3res a big difference between someone with hunger and MANY years practice straight and youth, compared to Hendry now and been there done that, picks and chooses what he does, and now justs want to help people, he ain't got time to practice 24/7 and do commentary, look what just happened to him when he showed up on a different show, yeah they have always tried to keep Hendry down ALWAYS. People like yourself don't help, reminds me of all the acid threat crap from crazy fans, that take it too far, show some respect eh!
Just as a viewer I always used to regard Ken Doherty as one of Stephen's most formidable opponents. A lot of players would wilt under the Hendry reputation, but not a bit of that when it came to Ken. I remember one match: I forget the details now, but I think Hendry eventually won it something like 9-5, and 7 out of Hendry's 9 were centuries. In other words the only way he could beat Ken was to keep him off the table. The pressure to score high on every visit was palpable the whole time.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it: With the balls lined up this way, score a minimum maximum break. (15 reds, 15 yellows, clear up. 72 points, though it'd be 69 in this case since they only put 14 reds on the table.) 😁
was a great player doherty, never amazing break builder like Hendry was but all around game he had, prob didnt have great bottle which is why he didnt win more, just my opinion
I love how unapologetic Hendry is about is lack of love for the technicality or tactical game. He was really just a one trick Pony but a great one at that. Like the total opposite to Selby with no intention of B games.
I could watch Ken and Stephen chatting and playing snooker for days, honestly
Use the video loop feature 😊
🎉🎉🎉 me too!
Same
y'know
Yes indeed. They are two of the most knowledgeable and likeable players one could ever wish to meet. 👍
Ken is still so capable, probably got a lot of natural talent. I wonder if he tried a mental coach once, because he used to be the comeback king and I do think he is one of the old-timers who really still has a decent game, even to go deeper in a tournament.
Ken Doherty me bhoy
Yes he had more the Higgins or Williams all round game with no real huge weakness. If anything he should have a better chance than Hendry with his more patience and much better tactical and safety game than Hendry. He fits more into the mould of the modern player.

Love Ken's cue action, such a nice player to watch.
A top player and a top pundit.
The dig about Shaun Murphy was pretty damn funny 😅
Ken and Stephen complement eah other so well in a setting like this. Cracking video and I love Ken's routine. I wouldn't have a chance in hell to get anywhere with it at the moment, but still!
Two lovely fellas you wouldn’t think Stephan had won all them titles very humble
I like Hendry s point when he said that if you are with a coach and you miss the coach might have a reason to make something out of nothing!
I wonder which coach he is referring to...
Pair of legends, great chemistry between you two...keep them coming!
Great routine, two true legends of the game and seem like two top chaps aswell

That is a VERY difficult routine Ken!! Thanks for the share
Absolutely fascinating and top class.
Really great stuff and love Ken. I never miss an episode
Incredible! Hope you 2 continue to make content together, absolute joy to watch the sublime skill and listen to stories
That's a fantastic routine! Can see how good this is for getting a mental blueprint of the angles and improve cue ball control. Thanks Stephen and Ken 👌
Fantastic looking routine, especially as us club level players regularly see pink and black out of commission. I'll have a bash at this soon
Love these two and could listen to them all day! Great drill to take to the table guys. Keep them coming.
This is by far the best snooker channel in the world. Love it! 🎉
Congrats on the 100k such a great channel. All the snooker greats on here 👍
This is super 👌. Can imagine plenty of club players practicing this line up
Would love to see someone attempt the lowest possible complete clearance break of 72, involving 15 reds/15 yellows and all the colours. Much harder than a 147.
Yes I'm sure the black remaining amongst the reds, makes it tricky to accomplish.
Really like that routine, nice one Ken.
This is amazing … fascinating insight to pro snooker or top high level or any level snooker at least .. mean wanted to say can help anyone … brilliant
What a routine! Awesome.
Just sorry to hear the news about your hospital visit and I hope you make a quick recovery it was good to see you in the seniors snooker tour on channel five a couple of months back any way best wishes to you and your family xxxlol ❤❤❤ ps all the best 2:54
I love watching your content and all the players that you have come and give their tips keep up the good work 👍
great chat and content as always!
Another great show - cheers guys!!!!
As always enjoyed it Cheers
I think Stephen would be a great break building coach.
Wonder if you can get Stan Moody on for the tough table challenge. Haven't seen him in action yet
wish these videos were around when I was a kid ...good stuff
Yeah! Top notch content as always! Thanks Stephen!
More useful than I first thought 👍
Cheers for this. Another routine to add my ever growing list of routines. 🤣 I can see it definitely helping with striking the correct side of centre. Last thing you want to be doing with this routine is trapping the white
I'm sorry, but I couldn't stop laughing at 6:33 when Ken turns round to Stephen and he's not there 😂😂
Lovely chat and routine for practice for us mere mortals of snookering.
Two great players. Loved the chat .thanks ken good advice 👍
Great practice routine! Gonna try it tomorrow 👍🙂
After about 20 years of not playing, i find myself trying to remember how to pot again. Started playing when I was 8 or 9, im 43 now
Great routine and very much what you'd expect from Ken. As a finesse player, his game is all about accuracy and precision.
Ken seems like such a lovely guy
2 top men, great ambassadors for the sport
come on Stephen , 8 bloody minutes , i could easily watch these videos for 8 hours !!!!!!!
Fantastic as always..
Awesome Channel..
Just needs the cherry on top..
Ron or Jim..
This is some routine to take on....
I’ll be doing that down the club tomorrow definitely
The 1997 final Hendry Vs Doherty a colossal victory to lift his World Title 🏆
Great lads Ken & Stephen
Ken “you know” Doherty 😂
Good one Ken.
100k so fast. Completely deserved.
Excellent
Will be interesting to see Ken play Reanne in the qualifyers next week😅
Ken “you know” Doherty 😂😂😂
Gr8 stuff. 👍
There were 147 'you know's by Ken in this video.
Ken (yeah, yeah, yeah) Doherty 😁
That routine will definately improve your allround potting game ..
Good routine 🖖🔝😉😎
Thanks for your great channel Stephen.
I’m shocked and saddened about Mark King. Such a shame 😔
How smooth was Ken’s roll at 1:11
Nice lighting!
Top notch! 👍🏼

more Snooker Routine please~~😀
Stephen obviously isn't keen on coaching, but Ken would be good at it.
Crafty Ken at it again😅
Excellent..😊
Makes it look easy don't he Ken?
Update on how I got on... I potted a red and left my self on the pink or black.... I think I might need to understand how to play with running side 🤣🤣
I'm not even bothered about snooker but I keep watching all these.
Great content this chanel 👏
Superb....
The time stamps are a bit wild on this one aren’t they?!
Top class blokes. I'd say there good at snooker
Some day, somewhere, I will find a club with a Snooker table; I will pay my fee, and enjoy my first frame. Until then, I can only watch.
Silly me why haven't I spent hours and hours practicing playing for baulk colours 🤪 doh
take a shot every time Ken says “you know”
drink or snooker
Do a 30 red line up that will help concentration, missed a, shot, start over.
How many times did he say 'you know'?
Ken is great. You know?

Ken still a good player
nice
yu know
Good old Ken "Codpiece" Doherty as he likes to be known.
Yes Ken…. We know lol 😂🫢🤣
You don't know much about the game technically? Hang on... I bought your Stephen Hendry Snooker Masterclass book!!! 😆
Ya know
You know
was a great player doherty, never amazing break builder like Hendry was but all around game he had, prob didnt have great bottle which is why he didnt win more, just my opinion
10/10
Stephen Hendry doesn't play for the balk colours! :-))
Please get the rocket on next or soon at least
I love how unapologetic Hendry is about is lack of love for the technicality or tactical game. He was really just a one trick Pony but a great one at that. Like the total opposite to Selby with no intention of B games.
I've had a pound on you at 2000/1 ew, world championships.
No match fixing involved, what's my chances?
