Stephen just randomly chalking his cue while Mark was playing shows what 40 years of snooker does to you 😂
I do the exact same when I’m watching someone else play snooker and I’ve only been playing 3 years 😂
First thing I noticed 😂 love it
I play pool and do a similar thing out of habit if my opponent is like on a long run...;)
I loved snooker when I was a kid and used to practice beside Stephen everyday. Unfortunately all the clubs near me shut down and I gave the game up about 15 years ago and started playing pool regularly ever since.
About a month ago I bought a set of snooker balls for my own pool table. Potted a black off the spot and went over to the pocket to retrieve it. As it's a pool table it comes out the same shoot as every other ball. Obviously muscle memory took over despite not playing snooker for 15 years and picking pool balls out the same place in that time. I ended up laughing at myself and have done it a few times since
That's fucking hilarious to think about.
That cannon practice is mightily impressive.
As a naff amateur I need to work on that. I can either pot the ball and get a random cue ball or concentrate too much on the cue ball and miss the pot 😂
Incredible
The tough table challenge was impressive, but the cannon routine was jaw-dropping. Sheer class and precision!
I never knew Allen was that shrewd. Interesting to hear how his mind works.
He was on a past episode too just a couple of weeks back, well worth a watch if you didn't already.
Comes across very well. Think he'll end up an excellent commentator if he goes down that route
Mark is an absolute gent. And so great to watch. The World is waiting for him.
87 is incredible! I guess we shouldn't be too surprised considering he'd just got a 147 in the Master's 👏
He's so good at those little stun shots. And gets so much action on the cue ball with that short cue action. So impressive.
Love him or hate him, Mark Allen is some player 🙌
People hate him?
Reanne Evans does 😅
I never used to like him. Don't know why
@@davidstevens3934 I think that's human. Sometimes you see people you just don't like for no reason.
i don't like him.
The cannon he played on the tough table challenge on the 3 reds below the the pink was perfect👌🏼
With the uneven lighting casting shadows up the table that break was incredible!
yep and that last rest shot was against a bright sunny window, super difficult. i hate that when i come to a club and they have hugh windows without proper curtains
@@breakshot7451 In a room with no dedicated over table lighting, especially with just one single light source, I find it really difficult to aim the cue ball onto the object ball correctly. The angled shadows make it really hard to judge.
And he did it on a "real" table. Respect 👍!
Aye everything sounded heavy. 👍👏
What does that mean? (Asking from the States who loves cue sports)
@@kx454 This was recorded at the Masters, so we can assume it's a practice table that's fitted to the official tournament standard in terms of pockets and cloth, whereas other players did the challenge on their personal tables.
Mark Allen seems a real nice bloke.
those cannons were insane.
Impressive tough table challenge on a slow table in the dark! Great cannon routine. another superb video. thanks Steven & Mark
Fellow County Antrim one here I was willing that red in, good lad mark great post again stephen
I have so much time for Mark Allen and for Stephen for that matter! What a great vid, the only trouble with it is that it isn't long enough!
Love teh way Stephen is chalking up up all the time
very sympathic person .. its so good that stephen show us the other side of this players ,,,,,
My god the cannon control bit was seriously impressive.
And thru the gap to the pink 😮
@@davidhale8034 amazing control.
Love this series. Cheers Stephen!
Laughing at Highfields haircut is hilarious, although no mention of Jimmy.
It isn't Jimmy's real hair, so it's not a hairCUT ;)
Really like Mark and wish him all the best
superb from start to finish. What a nice bloke
"Players hate it when I start talking." Then he continues talking!
Yeah that had me laughing. Then Hendry got guilty and gave him another go.
Says the same thing on every video now
Well it is an interview
Stephen Hendry is the GOAT. With the GOAT CZcams page so he can do as he wishes 🐐
Funny coz he doesn't talk that much generally, unless he's critically bashing u!🤷🤷🤫😬💀💀💀
Some phenomenal shots here. Blimey.
Congrats on the tough table challenge & good luck in the world championships. Great interview
Definitely the best one yet. Mark Allen comes across as a down to earth top geezer. And the cannon practice is a fantastic tip.👍
Hope he wins world championship this year and gets the triple crown status he deserves.
‘Oho, Pat’s done ye!’ lol
😂😂😂
I love the cannon routine. That will definitely become part of my daily practice.
That's the most insane snooker room I've ever seen
That was another great watch. Allen, like him or not, is some player. That practice routine was phenomenal stuff. The cue ball control was astonishing. Thanks to Mark and to Stephen for a great watch!
Love this channel! Hendry is great!
Such a nice, humble guy, and he looks so healthy nowadays. Big fan of him.
I like that routine.. very interesting
Excellent once again.
Always liked Allen, love his sharp 'pistol' cue action. Glad he is realising more success recently
My friend and I used to play a lot of FIFA together. Because of this we were able to talk constantly while playing it and still play well. When other friends came and played they couldn't cope with being talked to and trying to play at the same time. Good to see Stephen employing this knowledge to keep himself near the top of the scoreboard.
Great lads Mark & Stephen
I've always loved the way Mark Allen doesn't the wallop the ball he almost caresses it.
such delicate control over the white. Reminds me a bit of how Cliff Thorburn used to chip away at the pack when break building.
It's not that we always get annoyed when you talk, Stephen. It's when you do it deliberately to mess up some shots that can ultimately end up beating your score.
Stephen's far beyond such infantile mindset, my child. He continues talking to help TikTok youngsters - with attention spans of gnat - to keep focussed on the video.
Legends. Love this channel.
Another quality video, Mark Allen is some player👏
Great content, geat video, thanks for the entertainment. Have a great week Stephen
great episode as usual. TY
That is the best one yet, gelled really well together, Hendry should of taken him up on the third frame offer!
I enjoyed hearing Mark Allen. Also a great challenge performance.
Thank you Stephen Hendry for these vids. I usually watch waiting for Sunday breakfast to be cooked
I've watched every TTC and think this was my favourite.
I think the talking adds an extra level. It's not just potting the balls. It's can you do it whilst being distracted.
Nice cue ball control!
A players player, fabulous talent
Love it Mark and Stephen 👏👏👏
Keep going Stephen great channel!
Would love to get Selby on for the tough table challenge!
Nah I wouldn't watch a two hour long video.
@@sharkey9😂😂😂
A frame winning break spot on gent's 🖖🔝😉😎
Great attempt with the Tough Table Challenge and great practice routine with the cannons! Along with Ronnie and Judd for the World Championship I'm tipping Mark this season!
Mark seems like such a nice guy, would love to see successes continue
By far the best performance sorry John even though Mark didn't pot that long red I'd still put him on top
I love that they talk during the video, otherwise it will be like any other break in a professional match.
I loved this episode
Absolutely fascinating video!
The hardest part isn't the table it's Hendry in your ear lol
that's a very clever routine, same pot requires such control
I would like to see legendary ref Jan. Have a chat and see how good he is a snooker
It's a great idea, but Jan is struggling with health issues. I'm very worried about him ☹️
gotta love hendry chalking up his cue lol
What a great guy Mark Allen 👍
Amazing cue control, never seems to get out of position that he has to do an exhibition shot.
HAVE YOU PLAYED SNOOKER PLUS? the game created by Joe Davis with the orange and purple balls? It may be fun for you to do a vid about it and show us how to play it.
Allen has lost a heap of weight. Well done sir. You're an inspiration.
Ronnie's 92 against Carter was this hard....best break of all time
That really was a masterclass from Allen.
Woooo mark Allen that was awesome 👏 😂 he looks like he’s really enjoying his work lately. Really loving this guy. Keep it up geezer ✌🏻👍🏻
Very enjoyable.
Mark hit them really sweet!
Hendry was once again interrupting his guest and then the woman walks across the room..grrr I felt he was robbed of that
I love how Hendry is chalking his queue, though he's not playing. He may not even notice it.
Never been a mark allen fan but something has changed in the last few years. Seems a really decent guy.
Couldn't agree more re. Liam Highfield
Nice video, mark is just easy to listen to!
I enjoyed the show very much. Mark allen is a great guest.
Sending you Best Wishes Steve, i’m at this moment watching you playing in the qualifiers for the Welsh Open,, Aaah man you just left the yellow over the pocket for Ross Muir to clear up. Not to…. Oh he’s just missed the brown.. nice snooker. What a pot.. ooh yeah great pot with the pink. NO you missed the black with a chuckle to follow. Your doing great… Ive got tickets for the Quarter Finals in Llandudno… hope to see you winning there.
Ahhh so close, a few too many unwanted kisses with the cue ball. I know you have lots of well wishers wanting to see a return of you to a major. All the best.
Wow, what great touch. That was more impressive than his tough table challenge score.
5:05 😳 shot, mate.
Ikr 👌
Hi Stephen,
Can you speak on your recent loss (Welsh Open) and pull out of Barnsley in the previous qualifier.
Just a fan that’s all and thought you should I’ve won 4 nil, the last ball seemed to get you.
Your not far off & golf is boring in winter. Couple Potts your back in top 64 weout trying
Superb
Keep talking Stephen! Its a Show and we love the chats!
"I had to be in London on Saturday for something else..."
Now there's a line that would've sounded far more ominous and suspicious in a Northern Irish accent 30-years-ago than it does today!
Great lad is Mark
Pat deserves a raise
Stephen you don't need to carry your cue around .... your not playing lol
Stephen's spotting is immaculate, sometimes two inches off 😂😂
Amazing channel ,
great effort 👍
Brilliant 💪👍😊
Why this channel is not in the millions
Because most people on CZcams ignore what true quality is about. Who cares about those people? I certainly don't.
Nice bloke. Wish him all the best.
The cannon practice routine was ace. Considering he puts the white back in the same spot every time, I’d like a bit of a guide on where hes hitting the cue ball on every shot there. 🤔
0:55 Only true fans know that it's part of the tough table challenge when he says, "People complain when I talk to the players while they're doing it" 😂
Incredible first in the tough table challenge? Stephen Hendry going for the click bait. That's what GOATS do 🐐
Stephen wrote that with a smile, obviously - keeping the suspense until Marc's use of the long rest & extension, when we definitely understood what the 'first' referred to. It's all in good spirit, classy banter if you will.
Did he mention my name? No Hahaha
He mentioned the GOAT Ronnie O'Sullivan & Jimmy
What an inflated ego for an average player that flopped when new talent emerged!
The GOAT Ronnie STILL doing GOAT things! 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Nice one Mark
