Love how when the Cue Tips logo fades in at the end you're just waiting for a classic Hendry miss to see out the video
Should fade out to STEPHEN LEE
how neil robertson has only won one world title with his talent is crazy, here's to next season him regaining his form too
He's just too dumb.
All good having talent but snooker has a massive psychological factor.
@@aaronmunden3069But Neil is seriously uneducated and stoopid.
As Neil rightfully demonstrates, winning these challenges against Stephen by not just outplaying but maybe even more so, by outtalking Stephen. 😂 if you *are* the one talking all the time no one can distract you by talking too much😂😂
@@aaronmunden3069which is clearly not an issue with Neil, as he has won 6 majors. He should have won more though for sure.
Neil absolutely smashed that competition, 100% record 💪🏼
Great episode lads. Neil Robertson is such a cool lovely guy. It's great to see the people behind the cue. What a player he is 👏
19:32 favorite moment of the series so far :)) it means so much to him :)) i love it. such an unreal winner
got to get ding on one of these stephen
How's Ding's english nowadays?
@@Bobba8590Awful

Neil is one of my favorite players. Hes just been having an off time right now and it happens. He will pull out of it. He has a lot of years left in this game. Great video as usual stephen. Im one of the rare snooker players from the u.s. lol. Not sure why its not popular here. I wish it was.
I was just enjoying Neil's technique there. His cueing is sooooo smooth and straight, making almost every shot so easy.
He is the athletic STEPHEN LEE
@@PlayMoreGolf-RipOff...might have been nice to add another difference there. ;)
@@har234908234 the salad eating version of STEPHEN LEE?

Really enjoyed the conversation throughout this.
Yes, they are nice guys - till you play them!
One of the best episodes yet!
Still lacks STEPHEN LEE Or DING DONG MACADANGDANG
5:16 The dude just casually poking THE Neil Robertson in the butt with his cue! Savage!
Stephen is always a great host, when he misses, he cracks me up, such a brilliant snooker player in the 90's, fantastic program, always evolving.
Robertson is the best potter when he's on like this. Great episode he's one of my favorites to watch, so strong and smooth stroke. More world titles for Robertson coming for sure.
I've been watching your channel for over a year now, and I have to say what great entertainment it is. Never yet seen a dull video, and learned a few things to take to my own game also.
what a guy Neil is - loved watching him play over the years - hopefully he gets back to his best soon
Neil is such a good lad! hopefully he will be back on his game soon
Well played Neil, agree with others I'm amazed he hasn't had more world titles. Fantastic pool player too, which may just have helped him with a couple of these challenges, by seeing patterns more easily. That, coupled with his cue action and technique, one of the best out there. Hope he gets on well this year. Brilliant stuff on this channel, Stephen, keep up the great work.
This just shows how good Neil is when he just keeps it simple and tries to pot everything he sees
and Hendry two separate times brings up that he has to qualify for the Crucible in the middle of Neil's attempts in the first two challenges - and he crushes both still!
I love Neil Robertson man, he's such a chill chatty guy, and an immense snooker player. My favourite player on the tour, great to see him on the Cue Tips channel again!
I hope he gets that BIG win. He seems like a really good guy, and his technique is brilliant to watch
Thinking Neil has to qualify for world championship this year is absolutely crazy😅
Great series and episode. Neil is such a lovely character, hope he finds his form and back to winning again
I think Neil will be a serious contender for the world championship this year 🤔
No. Unfortunately, he is playing the worst season of his career. If nothing changes, then he has no chance of winning the WSC. P.S. I'm huge fan of Neil.
@@MrAlexAugur I think the important factor here is pointed out in your own comment "If nothing changes". If i've noticed anything about Snooker it's that someone can suddenly be playing what seems like their top game out of the blue. He has the skill in him so we're not talking about a player that hasn't shown the ability to get there. Obviously, it is harder when you aren't playing your best but never say never.
If anything he has more of chance this year going under the radar, he’s been favourite many times over recent years
I've been thinking that for a decade but there can only be one WC and it's tough
He has to qualify first, 2 possibly 3 best of 19, just to get to the actual Crucible. Shocking to hear, am sure he will qualify and it would be an absolute nightmare if he failed, as its double points at the biggest tournament of the season.
Robertson seems like a proper top guy
12:42 well that sounded a little more colourful than I'm used to on this channel xD these battles are sweet as. great banter, insight and plenty of wonderful snooker
Stephen, for everyone on KZhead, thanks for making these videos ❤
The major tv networks are missing a trick here....Mr Hendry presnting a new style big break game show, with his routines and Tough table challenge would be awesome
Yeah, plus seeing snooker players far more relaxed lets us see the "characters" more. Can only help drive engagement in the tournaments, which will be desperately needed when Ronnie gives it up.
Major networks would find a way to ruin this. Im so glad Hendry does this!
@@entrace1I agree, why commercialise it when Hendry has full creative control right now. Love the channel. Dont move to tv, which means a Sky subscription and 1000 ads. Ta x
TV is dead and buried, this is the best place for it
Eh, it’s probably gaining more viewers online, younger people all stream stuff rather than watch live tv now. This is keeping snooker more modern. Would be nice if this channel/type of content was shouted out during some of the tv tournaments though.
It's hard not to like Neil as a snooker personality. Such a down to earth bloke and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to other players. Top geezer
It’s really easy not to like him actually. He’s a bit full of himself
@@kinnoinen Every professional athlete is it least a bit full of themselves, it's part of their competitive nature
Really hope Neil gets back in the winners circle soon. He plays the game how you want it to be played. Top man
Stephen is definitely getting better with these challenges to his game. Keep at it fella.
Great lads Neil & Stephen
Bloody loved that, thanks Stephen!
Really enjoyed that, great stuff lads.
And thank you Steven for doing this whole CueTips thing. It's legendary work in my eyes! Which is rather fitting seems you are a living legend of the sport yourself mate! 😇
if neil can have a chill vibe in the competition he will be potting everything he can
Stephen Hendry. The Alan Partridge of snooker 🏆
David brent*
Oh you're 'ard, cus of the **points at camera**
Fabulous watch, thank you 😊
Neil comes across as such a great guy. Think he will have a great career if he wants in the media. As well as making the game look so easy! Just from watching this video I’ll be cheering him on to do well in the 2024 season.
Great video, some interesting chat too. I love Neil, not only a great snooker player, but says it how it is. He will be back winning again soon I am sure, and maybe qualifying for the worlds could do him some good (thinking of Ding, he had to qualify one year, then got to the final!).
Neil didn't miss a ball, incredible talent! Wish him all the best this season :)
What a great player, Neil is and yet so few titles. It just shows you how small the margins are between success and failure are when you play at their level.
That was great! Neil Robertson is a beast of this game. Hope he find winning form again soon...
In terms of talking, being humble, and having a good laugh, Neil is just simply one of the best guys on tour! It‘s unfortunate that his game sometimes isn‘t as exciting, especially when he prolongs his shot time but he‘s an amazing character for the game!
Fantastic content as always 🎉
Neil's cue action is sooooo good. Such a nice chap, too.
What about this idea. The letter in the first challenge (currently S) should change depending on who wins it. So it should now be changed to N then other players can battle to try and change the letter. it could be tricky with some letters but would be fun.
Sounds good!
An N would be a hell of a challenge :v so tricky
@@kakashinosharingan would certainly make it interesting!
Brilliant episode, Neil really showed his personality here. Played awesome and was an awesome guess.
Yoy talking about the future of snooker reminded me of how we saw three snooker halls close here in Adelaide soon after Neil won his first world championship. All cue sports need better marketing here in Australia. Great video guys. Thank you
Loved this episode Stephen playing so well 👏 hoping Neil will be back to best in live play soon, looking good 👍
Great stuff as always Stephen x
Neil is such a likeable person and also has a crazy talent
Great . thanks
absolutely brilliant episode Stephen, Neil is a class act and it's hard to believe he's only won one world title, wish him well for the rest of the season
30:17 love Neil's laugh
Melt Wayetta Anthon Halmes must stop spamming GOAT Ronnie O'Sullivan videos. Why this happens!
Really enjoyed great episode
Best cue action the game has seen, incredible player! The snooker game needs a strong Neil Robertson.
Great video as always!!
Great to meet you in Marks club, would love to see you with some of the old legend's and characters, Reardon, Griffiths, Dale etc :)
It's always amazing watching Neil play.
Awe the Best Neil Robertson, what a great character you are. 🏴🥃🇦🇺
Great to watch
What a top bloke ! ❤
Super entertainment. Enjoyed every minute
I was lucky to have meet Neil at a tournament..a helt the door open for him and said hello to him..he then started a conversation with me..honestly he was such a nice guy really down to earth..but what a player also..he can be unplayable on his day..
Neil is just pure class!
Cracking episode Stephen!
I always love the fact that we still get to see vintage "king of the crucible" Stephen for 5-6 shots in every one of these... Neil is such a talent, you almost wonder how things are not going for him this year..like how?
You know what, I love his self confidence! Some people might see it as arrogance or being big headed but he knows his ability he knows how good he is! Fair play 👏
Loving the Sunningdale hoodie 😍
Absolutely superb,loved that....how does a left hander play right handed with the rest??
Neil is cueing beautifully he always has had a reference cueing technique to learn from. He looks amazing I think he's going to be competitive this year.
Good to see a busy club in the background
Love these videos, not sure how I feel about the sponsor though
I think people dont understand properly how this channel and Mr Hendry effort worth! This is an absolute point of view and thinking of two best player in the field of snooker ( sport ). 🔆 specially for a person like me, in a country with lack of snooker learning opportunities. With kind attitude, without any arrogance! Tnx for your contrbution to the world of snooker Mr Hendry 🙏
Arrogance only with Vafart the numpty
Incredible player
Love Neil! Hope he gets back to the top and battling for the big ones
I'm surprised we didn't see more of the Safety Challenge from other content creators. That's a fun and challenging one.
That was great. I watched it twice.
That was immense!!
Unbelievable that he would have to qualify for tournaments...... quality player.
Fabulous 🎱
Really enjoying these. It's kind of giving the channel a bit of the old Soccer AM feel. Probably due to Lavvers I'd say 😉😉
Great stuff.
Brilliant.
12:20 Imagine being so good that Ronnie O'Sullivan and John Higgins are the only 2 players you find educational.
Imagine being so good that you are not worried whatsoever about playing Ronnie.
@@bbwnpat And Imagine then getting owned by Ronnie? Pretty sure Ronnie has a winning record over John the cheat & Hendry. He owns them both head to head and in finals! And has won more than Hendry or John will ever win. That's an absolute fact! Never let your imagination run riot!
@@jameswoods-td8el 👍
Anyone else noticed that in the rolit second before he hits a shot in a challenge, Stephen's eyes have that same look we saw when he was still dominating? Stephen was such an incredible weapon.
Instant like/thumbs up ❤😂
I've missed seeing this level of talent. It was lovely to see Mr Robertson in his real form. He needs to bring that Neil into the tournament table.
Seems a cracking bloke Neil, and in terms of talent, he has to be one of the best potters of all time. I have a theory about left handers that if they are good and strongly left dominant, they generally master things to a higher degree than right biased (maradona, messi in football, niel, mark williams, trump in snooker etc etc).
Apart from 1stint a couple of years ago his form is to up and down to win loads of titles. He can totally outplay anyone for 3 rounds and after that his form can take a nose dive which gets him knocked out. But still a great player. The best long potter
I will say this now - no-one else will come close to matching Neil Robertson's performance there. Phenomenal
Robbo should just chat to the crowd at the Crucible. Chatted to Stephen all the time here & potted everything :)
Damn he made a perfect score
Go Neil, you Aussie champion. Time to see ya wining the big comps again. Good luck mate.
Neil did not miss a single shot!
Love how Hendry is still so super competitive in these vids but tries to hide it :)
That was entertaining
Great video
Love your channel. You are a different animal from the 90s that’s for sure 😉. Question Your record in the 90s was unbelievable, you couldn’t lose. If you played same standard from then could you complete now? Or has the game progressed to a higher standard. Thanks 👍
