Watch Judd Trump's epic snooker shot... without even using a cue!

For obvious reasons, snooker players live and die by their cues, but it seems Judd Trump is equally adept without one.

On the table, Trump displayed flair and no shortage of power when he exhibited a stunning positional shot from black to yellow, which left him perfectly placed to knock in the final six colours during his 4-0 Northern Ireland Open second-round whitewash of Stuart Carrington.

One would put this down to hours of practice, but footage has revealed Trump may opt against using his cue while backstage.

The Bristolian has been filmed sinking a supreme long pot with just his hands – although he admitted on Eurosport afterwards it was not a one-take wonder!
