    My stand out moment this year was to see how
    Si Jiahui stunned the snooker world with his run to the World Snooker Championship semi final.
    And that Belgium's Luca Brecel became the first player from mainland Europe to claim snooker's World Championship with
    an 18-15 win over Mark Selby in Sheffield.
    And my bold prediction for 2024 is that Si Jiahui become world champion.😛

    Ronnie O'Sullivan
    Absolutely amazing cue ball control and object ball planting. This man is the goat. Efren Reyes is on pocket billiards with small balls. The Rocket is in the overall to me. 12 foot shots! Five rail cue ball rolls for perfect position. Essentially, all of you snooker guys are the best and Ronnie is the best of you all. This from guy in India . Don't ever hear you guys complaining about room humidity. Over here there are guys that complain about silly stuff like that on smaller tables with larger balls that sit on the cloth with more mass. and some idiot is trying to start a tradition of jumping up on the table if they win a match. Don't see you guys doing that either. I saw an outsider dump a bunch of colored powder on a table there once, interrupting a match. But other than that, you guys have a quite honorable, respectful attitude and conduct toward the whole thing. Spot on, as they say.
    Long live the best Rocket & Hendry

I used to play in Craigpark Masters where John Higgins practiced but we've lost that but there is a great club in Bathgate that deserves recognition for trying to promote snooker the right way. Would be great to see these clubs get supported.

    I’ve heard several times on this channel from Stephen and other players questioning Shaun Murphy’s punditry affecting his success in tournaments. Seems kind of unfair how much criticism he gets for it when Ronnie is doing the exact same thing on another broadcaster.
    Before people get butt hurt that I mentioned Ronnie and say “But he’s winning though” (Which is True lol) Shaun has also been successful winning ranking titles and making a World Final whilst doing the “Punditry”. If he thought it was distracting him so much then I’m sure he wouldn’t do it and end of the day we can’t make that judgement coz we are not in his mind and only he knows how he feels.
    Secondly it’s good for the sport of Snooker to grow. We need new voices and Shaun is good imo in the comms box and it’s nice to see a top player give analysis because regardless how you slice it, Shaun is a top 16 player by right.
    The reason I mentioned this is because the criticism is unfair imo. It’s funny how nobody questions Judd when he did commentary or Jack Lisowski or Mark Allen or Kyren Wilson. I have no problem at all these guys doing commentary and yes they do it nowhere near as much as Shaun but if you want to be all nitty gritty then Why don’t people question Why Allen is there in comms box? Shouldn’t he be more focused to winning a world title? Why is Lisowski anywhere near that side of things, he should be practicing more to win that ranking title. Why is Judd there? He should be focused on winning more TCs. Why is Wilson there at all? He hasn’t even won a worlds. He should be training to better himself as a player.
    The point is nobody would say any of these things because it’s just nit picking and everyone seems to do that with Shaun and it’s unfair. Let him do what he enjoys and it’s not like he hasn’t won anything since doing Punditry. More than some of those names I’ve mentioned lol.

      Perhaps Hui but with 7 world titles, Ronnie could argue that his punditry has helped. Ronnie doesn't really commentate though so doesn't have to concentrate as much and more importantly when he's still in say the last 4 at the Crucible, he doesn't do Eurosport.

    Thankyou Stephen for your amazing channel this year. In the new year im going to work hard on this CTE aiming system next year as ive exhausted all avenues on technique but never really blamed my aiming.
    Have you heard about CTE as an aiming system Stephen? And if so what are your thoughts?

    • @330devans
      @330devans Před 5 měsíci +1

      I switched to using CTE about 3 years ago. It improved my potting so much! It takes some time getting used to it and finding how to make it work for you. The pivot is what throws players off. Some pivot while dropping into their shot, others see it while up. I go down looking at the center of the white and edge of the object then pivot slightly when down/halfway down. It’s tough to explain, but have a go at it for sure.

    Great thanks for your channel, Stephen.
    I've been following snooker for 20+ years and I want to ask you about the role of rivalries in the game. How much did playing Jimmy White contribute to your success or how much did playing Mark Selby contribute to Ronnie's success and vice versa? I think it's only fans who make rivalries look sour, but there is a great positive effect for players and for the sport as well.

    Hi Stephen, would it be possible to do a video testing out different cues? I'm specifically interested to see something really getting into testing out the differences in feel, playability and throw etc of ash and maple wood on cues of the same spec. This could also be perfect for then doing some tests on the new titanium ferrule compared with brass?
    There is a surprising lack of quality content that really discusses these differences, let alone demonstrates them practically.

      Yeah, I've played with mostly ash cues but tried a couple of maple cues in the past too. Never had the resources to just be able to try out two otherwise identical cues but in both ash and maple, so never really known what the difference is. Deffo never seen any definitive tests done on video of the difference in throw between titanium and brass ferrules. This surely has to be done!

    7:17 I have to agree. Maybe from the opposite side. As Hendry knows, since he’s become one of the best, commentating is real work, not a casual thing you fit in when you’re not playing. How can Murphy give it his best behind the mike?
    And, of course, from the playing side, he should be focusing on his game, regardless of the career he wants in the future. Which would also show his fans more respect.
