Judd Trump On His World Title Ambitions, Scoring 100 At 10 Years Old & Why He Won't Change Chalk 

Judd here is the most relaxed and open I’ve ever seen him; Stephen brings the best out of everyone in these videos😊

One of the things I like about this channel is Stephen Hendry's ability to get some of the best snooker players in the world to appear on it. They seem to really be relaxed, and willing to share stories, and tips. No doubt that's due to the host's own reputation, as the guests must be in a sort of awe themselves at being there. I always seem to watch the entire episode.

I could watch this all day. Gimme a long session with Hendry and anyone for 3 hours, with them scooping a bunch of beers, and I'll take that over any movie. Keep it up, Stephen, great entertainment.

I love how Judd's come out of his shell in recent years, just so much more relaxed...really nice to see 😊

You've got a goldmine of a channel here Stephen, obviously you're a legend in the sport and space but really enjoying every single upload of yours so far. Let us know when the merch is out! I'd happily buy a t-shirt

Stephen Hendry's channel is quickly becoming my favorite cue sport channel...including current tournaments. Well Done Steven. You are going a great job here.

As a kid growing up in Scotland to see a fellow Scot being the greatest in the world at something was amazing, Hendry was an absolute hero to me and my brother along with many of my pals. I would dearly, dearly love to see him return to a little bit of form, even for one tournament, it must still be in there, you cant lose that quality, just got to get the confidence back.

20:34 Judd’s snort! Thank you for this video. For whatever reason, I’ve never really liked Judd, but - for me - this episode helped me see him as a person. And by doing that, you’re making it much more enjoyable for me to watch his matches in the future. Also: God bless Trump for not stopping play while he talks! That’s been driving me crazy in some of the other episodes. Cheers!

I really like exhibition/practise session videos, talking about everything. Keep doing more, thumbs up.

How about John Virgo? He's been there throughout so much of snookers history and it's success in the mainstream. I'd love to see one with him and Stephen. Absolutely love this channel. Thanks so much!

Always great to hear Judd talk about snooker, I think he’s a really good player by playing in an entertaining way and with always wanting to push the sport and get more people involved

This is brilliant with fellow snooker players... But this is genuinely a brilliant idea for a chat show in general, it's just so relaxed and an easy watch. Hendry has great rapport with everyone and I'd probably watch regardless of who was on

Loving this channel. I think Stephen is the perfect guy to do this. He done everything in the game, won the lot. He's obviously got the respect of everyone else in the game and I think thats whats makes them so comfortable in opening up and chatting so freely with him. Keep it up Stephen.

Never warmed to Judd early days but have now realised how sound a man he is . What a unbelievable talented snooker player ! He’s pulled off some incredible wins this season playing his B game . Great snooker players do that the others go home ! His B game and beat Mark Williams playing as well as he was . I think Judd will be the one to beat world championship after the masters victory

Humanising snooker,. Love this!

Thank you so much M. Hendry for all those moments ! I discovered snooker in Bristol in the early nineties when I was student ! At that time, my english friend and room-mate Garry was explaining every shot you made on TV ! We were watching you at the Triangle Snooker Club in Bristol ! Such a great time ! I've finally found a club in France and my training has began in September ! Please, continue your channel as long as possible ! That f...... great !!

Lapping these videos up. What a genuinely nice lad Judd is. Please keep these videos coming, Golden Bairn!

Love these types of videos. Keep them coming. I Had a few hours playing Ricky Walden as a wedding gift back in the summer.. He knocked in a maxi against me whilst chatting away. It amazes me how good these pros are when not even concentrating. Something I'll never forget.

Would love an hour Long episode of you and Jimmy having a couple of frames chatting about those finals etc!..

Stephen, thank you so much for these recordings. It’s wonderful to see you guys, relaxed and chatting and to get an idea of what you are like as a person away from the table, which for me personally is the only medium I’ve seen you guys in, so keep them coming!👍

Should keep these going. Would be great to see you and Ronnie have a couple of frames with some friendly banter!! In my opinion you and Ronnie are the two GOATs of snooker. To see you both have a couple of games in this fashion would be amazing and something I've never seen in any sport. Look forward to your next video for sure! TY.

This series is awesome, thank you for being a great ambassador for the sport Stephen!

More of these please, really like the informal chat and insights into the life of a top snooker player.

Stephen, I cannot thank you enough for Cue Tips. What a great concept and the content is fantastic. I literally cannot wait for a new episode to be uploaded.

Stephen’s long potting is on point in this video!

2 of my snooker heroes

It's absolutely fascinating how great Hendry is at commentating, interviewing etc! He is such a natural people person! He has always been my favourite player and he is definitely my favourite interviewer now too. Ever since those videos he made during covid two with Ronnie and also Mark Williams etc he has just got better and better. I was baffled at first because of how closed off and withdrawn he was as a player but through these interviews have understood he consciously stayed distant, serious, emotionless as a player in order to maximise success and it was inspired by his hero Steve Davis! I think now we're seeing his natural personality shine through. He seems to have the genuine respect of all the players he interviews and manages to bring out the best from whoever he talks to. His two interviews with Ronnie during lock down are brilliant. It was amazing to see how much respect and time they have for each other considering they were huge rivals.

This channel is truly a dream for us fans. This is the conversations we dream about having with our favourite players. As an Australian in Australia this is almost impossible to get so I absolutely love watching these videos.

That was fantastic. What a treasure these videos will be in the future as well as such a treat just now.

Stumbling across this channel has got me right back into snooker after years of not paying atttention to it, love it.

Hendry in his prime v Judd imagine that match wow. Be tons of centuries and long pots.

This is the best snooker related thing on RU-vid … said “ thing “ as to envelope snooker Chanel’s as a whole… not a detriment … amazing keep it up I’m loving it 👏👏👏👏👏

This is a great channel. Stephen Hendry has always been my favourite snooker player so it's great to see him shooting the breeze with the other guys.

Love what you are doing Mr. Hendry. I truly don't think anyone fast forwards these videos or skips anything. I know I watch them from start to finish and focus on every bit of the conversations. Great to see the friendly competition as well!

"Did you almost take it for granted? ... I did." And then that long pot. Omg this is so classy

I love these interview style videos and cant wait to see who you have on next. It really helps engage with the players as so many don't interview well in and around tournaments for obvious and understandable reasons, but here you get much more of an idea of their personalities. I did have to laugh at Judd's logic about the chalk though, technology in sport moves on and its great to see this happening (in a very minor way) in snooker. I get annoyed about the old chalk just in the club when I uncover my selected table and the chalk dust hits me.

Fantastic videos Stephen great to actually learn more about these top players how they practice and how they feel on tour etc would really like to see one with Selby and Higgins, O'Sullivan also !

That was a great chat and play with Judd Trump, a guy whom I have always enjoyed watching! Great insights and just watching you guys in casual play, you still bring on the quality shots! I never began to play snooker until I was 16 years! I was never allowed into the gentlemans club where my father played very often. He taught me and I bought my own Steve Davis que, but I only beat my father once in my life and I think he let me win? I had a 55 break, my highest ever! Thanks Stephen! Now I play pool where I live in Thailand!

Only just discovered this channel, loving the content and Stephen is a very natural host, able to play chat and conduct flowing interviews, the badinage is tremendous. Well done everyone involved.

This questions and the answers are more helpful than anything for a snooker player.

What I love about Stephen on his channel: he puts the guest in the spotlight ALL THE TIME, he asks mainly only questions, listens, he does not have to make himself the centre of a video (the mistake of sooooo many youtubers).

I was 12 in 2011, grew up in a houshold with a snooker-mad dad, but could never understand how someone could sit down and watch this bore of a game. Accidentally found myself watching 5 minutes of one of Judd's breaks against John in the morning session of the world final, and I have been hooked since. The dodgy highlights, John Virgo in awe and the banana shots, iconic snooker!

This has been such an awesome series to watch. I'd also like to see a more detailed demonstration of the re-rack by hand. That'd be awesome to learn!

Loving the content on this channel. Guys are so much at ease with Stephen and his relaxed way of questioning the players. Good mix of technical chat and mental side. Keep them going Stephen, great job

I really appreciate your guests' willingness to be interviewed. It means a lot to us fans to see this side of them.

This is really high quality content. I’m thoroughly enjoying these uploads. Well done Stephen!

Great videos. They really expose the natural demeanour of the players and you can sense the players respect for Stephen. Excellent stuff!!

This is content that quite simply no other snooker RU-vidr could get - top notch

Great channel Stephen. What I like about it more than anything is the combination of you interviewing the players, but at the same time being clearly competitive at the same time... It's great to see you genuinely annoyed or happy with a shot whilst pretending not to care :-D

Am from Leicester and was very pleased snooker has started coming to my town 19:25 i like the idea of having a few top players coming and promoting the game 🤞🏻 love these videos

These vids are absolutely brilliant to watch whether Stephen's doing tutorials or interviewing other players.

This series has become my favorite since day one. I thank you; Stephen Gordon Hendry MBE, and his team for making this happen. Cheers.

Thanks for deciding to create a snooker channel sir! These videos are a delight to watch.

Loving this series! Hope to see a lot more

I wish all Snooker matches could look's like this. Full of chatting and relax. Brilliant stuff.:)

No one ever thought we'd be watching snooker podcasts. Love what you're doing Stephen. It's an absolute delight to watch your videos ❤❤❤

'Friends are overrated in this business' 😂 Stephen Hendry is still the ruthless crazy man he always was! I love him! 😂

Davis if you get chance! I grew up watching both of you so two (or more!!!!) frames and a chat between you two would be almost played on repeat! Loving the channel. Thanks for taking your time out for this :)

Fantastic content for snooker fans ! Great job Stephen. Not just the joint reigning crucible king

When i was kid, Stephen made me to love snooker, but i was too young to see him in his prime. Im glad to see him again on youtube, know more about him, lovely channel.

I really like this channel. Stephen has the knack of getting some great conversations going and good banter.

This is just so nice to watch - I’ve never played but this relaxed style just chatting is just so nice, it really makes me want to play even though I know it’s not how it is for the actual sport. Also due to how RU-vid works I hadn’t realised I wasn’t subscribed, have now rectified that!

some nice shots there stephen, very enjoyable format btw chilled and entertaining... my new favourite channel great stuff

What Judd is talking about is if you watch him and the camera is dead on the pocket of his shot, he aims literally so for to our left (his right) that he is sometimes looking like he is even gonna miss the object ball completely, but just at the last second of his push forward he straightens it up and hits a pearler.. I noticed it years back but never thought it would be commented on as much as it is. Fascinating!

When Stephen swings his arm like that. The target is located and locked. It’s amazing and wonderful to see brilliance in action. 90’s snooker you notice these things. A pleasure to watch always and a fantastic RU-vid channel ❤💪🎱🦾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's really lovely to see you with these other great players. Because I only know them as snooker players. Nice to see a different side to them .

Superb Steven, keep them coming!

Stephen, you’re a natural… Very enjoyable interaction combined with fascinating interviews… These are brilliantly put together and you make it look easy when it’s far from easy. A bit like your snooker in the glory days….

What a brilliant series.Look forward to more of this.

Man, I enjoy pool here in Brazil since I was a kid, but never played it really. The formats here are different, they call it Sinuca or Sinuquinha, but I love american style or british snooker, and finding this channel it's great. I feel hypnotized by you guys. Thanks for the content!

Very interesting method of interviewing snooker legends. This channel will grow fast. Nice creative thinking Stephen🙌🏻

Amazing, thank you so much Stephen! Would love to see you talk and play a few a games with John Higgins, David Gilbert who’s doing alot for snooker round our and Jack Lisowski but please get some old rivals / legends like Jimmy and Steve Davis!

When I was a young kid, I would run home to watch Stephen Hendry play tournaments and was glued to the TV for hours. So glad this channel suddenly popped up and is here to stay.

This Channel , What a treat to snooker fans.

Such great content. Great to see this side of Judd, doesn't come across on TV. Keep it up Stephen

Really enjoyed that thanks, keep em coming:)

One of the best channels on YT, Stephen is a master of presenting and snooker itself, he has the respect of everyone including all of us who view. Thinking about it, he's one of the greatest ever sportsmen to come out of Scotland, alongside Andy Murray

Loving this series, great to have the insights of the top guys. Can we have one with John Higgins next?

These are excellent videos. A real feel for what these pros are like rather than the TV persona in interviews. Nice one Stephen.

The hendry of the 90s against judd trump when he was winning all the titles a couple of years is one fantasy match i would love to have seen. Both going for everything and making the game look ridiculousy easy

Excellent! Your chats with top players are brilliant, more please.

I hope judd gets back to form he’s not really been the same since he lost that UK final on the Pink against Robertson even tho he’s won tournaments since! He needs to try rack up the triple crown events as that’s what will create the greatest legacy for him!

Brilliant just brilliant Watched them all in one morning

Great videos. Growing up you (Stephen Hendry) was our hero. For the last decade Ronnie has taken that spot. Can you please get him on your show.

I absolutely love this kind of content. Do more please.

Love seeing Steven in this relaxed atmosphere, laughing and joking with the lads. Great channel! 👍

Really great video! I grew up watching you and Davis, still love the game! Glad to see you making these videos, thanks & keep it up :)

I don't even have an interest in snooker but I'm addicted to these episodes

Conversation over a game of snooker. very nice indeed. Takes me back. TFP

Love this channel, so relaxed and informative

Loving these videos Stephen. You and Higgins both massive heroes of mine. I used to play up at Broxburn. Great club. Came off the snooker tables, headed upstairs and pool was so easy!

Awesome seeing Judd close up more please!

I enjoyed that very much, much obliged for your time & effort, God bless you all.

This is fantastic. I always think Judd is quiet and ‘grumpy’ when I watch him but that’s obviously just concentration. Brilliant watch, this.

Enjoy these, keep em coming

Great channel for snooker fans. Enjoy watching these videos. Thank you. 😉

I love these videos, seeing players in a relaxed atmosphere

Stephen Hendry you are Brilliant at this. I’m so glad you have decided to do this and I hope you keep it going

Excellent videos Stephen, could watch them all day long.

Thanks for sharing. I had a busy day and this hit right my relax button, really enjoyed that one and it was very funny as well. I hit the like button many times (:
