Stephen Hendry - Exhibition Shot - World Championship 2009

[dumyatpiwi]

the point isn't that the shot is impossible but that you look a complete twat if you miss, Hendry KNEW he wouldn't miss, that 's the difference.

And you can tell by where he stood and the look on his face that it was intentional.

Lastly, those shots are a lot easier on a pool table. You have to be much more accurate on snooker table.

[impactglory]

i think snooker is the only sport, wehre the best player EVER to grace the sport is still playing and living.. most other sports, the greatests are retired or dead.

[Kalamalooo]

@impactglory

Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Lionel Messi, Phil Taylor, Tom Brady

5 from the top of my head.

[impactglory]

@Kalamalooo

tiger woods,phil taylor, roger federer could be replaced by samprass and agassi in my oppinion. lionel messi??? ronaldo is better than messi. so is cantona, pele, just to name two, tom brady? what about jerry rice??

[impactglory]

@Kalamalooo

now retired, muhumad ali, michael jordan, michael schumacher, babe ruth , bo jackson, fedor (but probably anderson silva who is still fighting), bruce lee, karrem abdul jabbar, sugar ray robbinson, colin meads... so yes stephen hendry is one of the only greatests player to grace the sport that still runnning

[ZiGGAH]

a true professional

[lockybalboa275]

@tosykosyhaha no.one.fucking.cares.

[Amnesiaofziets]

He was lucky! Had left hand side on the cueball....was planning to go around the angles.....

[MonaLisaNaked]

@Amnesiaofziets he wasnt, totally planned. this is the sort of stuff they do in practice, it's pretty common.

[tosykosyhaha]

Stuff like these aren't THAT hard. I mean, I've been playing pool for 3 years and I always go with the exhibition shots and 90% I succeed. 

[boomelyh3llik]

amazing shot, amazing player... but not even a glimmer of a smile... even if it were only to let the crowd sense that he appreciated their applause. who could get behind a man with so little joy in his demeanour? his morbid, mechanical approach did the game no favours... he could have elevated it with his enormous talents, but instead he came to embody athe glum, sparkle-free perception associated with the sports image. with all his success, he could never be a hero.nice enough guy off table

[semantict]

@boomelyh3llik i couldnt agree with you more! stark contrast with ronnie!

[startrek167]

terry griffes would kick stephen hendrys ass!!!!!

on x box

check out my 147 if u like!!

[thekirgan]

Hendry will always be no1! Fact! 7 worldtitles!

[impactglory]

@thekirgan

hendrys the best, ronnie 2nd, but ronnies entertainment and flare makes him just as good as hendry, his natural talent.. ppl always say about higgins being the best in the world today.. but he is never ever on par with hendry.. or osulivan.

[seedy04]

he did not mean that.

[dothequack]

@seedy04 think you'll find he did, otherwise he would have played with more power to go round the table

[waspsrugbydude151410]

@dothequack he also has a look at the middle pocket right at the beggining if you watch closely, agree seedy04 he tryed to do it

[TheMacho89]

u all can do like that..juz need a lil bit of luck

[pervyboy69]

I think he went for this as the cue ball didnt have the power to go round the table and finish on the black.......Not in the same class but heres my knuckle shot on the black to win.

[SizzGoM]

this looks like it was an awsome match who won?

[leemumin1]

Did he mean that????

[pistolpeeroy]

HA IVE PLAYED THAT BEFORE...

[Alexandr777V]

Ya dumaiu chto on prosto hotel zabiti rozovii shar, bez vihoda na chiornii.. chtob potom prosto uiti ot stola no zakanchivaia partiiu... no tak vsio krasivo slajilosi chto vse poschitali etot udar kak zadumanii ;)

[rellig]

This shot sums up the class of Stephen Hendry!

[DeviantsRealm]

H2H means fuck all! Someone like Ding is probably ahead of someone like Davis in H2H but Davis is still one of the greatest of his era. No disrespect to Ding. He's great but not on the same league.

[JaguarPawww]

Long live the best men in the planet, the Scottish !

Last to fall first to get up

[gherlec]

nice:D:D:D:



[sijalf]

as i always said. SALUTE to Mr. Hendry... he is true legend............

[edinscot56789]

I can't imagine ever trying that, but that's why Hendry is the best in the world!

[DLPBurke]

@edinscot56789 O'Sullivan is the greatest of all, and Hendry is nowhere near the best in the world now.

[Anonomousxxx]

@DLPBurke of course he is not now but Hendry is the greatest of all time for sure

[DLPBurke]

@Anonomousxxx hendry had a weak era.

[Anonomousxxx]

@DLPBurke maximums is the only Hendry's record Ronnie broke and he will never brake any others

Yes Hendry had quite poor results in 2000s but lets see how will Ronnie play on 2010s

PS: btw Neil Robertson has made most tons this season)

[Anonomousxxx]

@DLPBurke Robbo has the most centuries

+ most matches bettween Ron and Hendry were when Hendry was not in era of Hendrys dominance

Ronnie is not the best player off the season either

and deal with it Ronnie will never dominate the game like Hendry and will never beat even 1/10 of Stephen's records

[Anonomousxxx]

@DLPBurke well sorry yes Ronnie is just one ahead of Robbo 26 to 25 tons

[DLPBurke]

@Anonomousxxx No that's cool, I missed robbo regardless and should have known he was close. :) But ronnie is playing very very well.

[DLPBurke]

@DLPBurke And to add back what I said, he is ahead on H2H vs almost all players inc Hendry. The thing that let's him down is consistency, but for moments of brilliance... no one comes close.

[Anonomousxxx]

@DLPBurke and ronnie is not the best in the world now either

[DLPBurke]

@Anonomousxxx At his best he is... and he frequently displays his best. He has won 2 PTC this season, and reached final of other. He has also made by far the most centuries this season.

[DLPBurke]

@Anonomousxxx Also a record 11 maximums, 1 more than Hendry. He made a 147 this season. Tell us all what Hendry has done after 30 years old?

[smtoke]

@edinscot56789 dont think he ment it he was trying to go around the table!!!

[Syncness]

@smtoke There was no where near enough speed to go around the table.

[tschuggggi]

i second that

[standaway1]

@edinscot56789 was

[chrisp196]

@edinscot56789 Judd trump is >.>

[TheSGRob]

@chrisp196 ronnie is still the best player in the world. The most skilled at least

[chrisp196]

@TheSGRob Stop living in the past bro

[silverburst79]

he sprayed it with silicon spray that you use on your car door seals , trust me ive seen this trick before

[brooksbooks6]

@silverburst79 huh??
