What players make you switch off or On?

[ADR147]

Ye but the point i,m trying to make is we need someone like paxman thats not afraid to ask him question thats on everyones mind . Instead of pussyfooting around him .

Ronnie did you miss that black on purpose ? NO

Ronnie did you call Selby a lucky F***** ?YES

i must confess a lot of the people in the lower rankings ive never seen

i am not sure you have ever seen most of them!

daniel wells, dominic dale, stu bingham, jamie cope, matthew stevens and michael holt you find dull to watch - thats a list of maybe 6 of the most watchable players in the game!

[Luke Hooper]

Those people you have said I have watched and I can't stand them!

EspeciLly jamie cope! He has this weird cueing like he cues under his body and his wrist is all bent back it's weird lol

Great potter but I just can't stand to watch the way he cues!! Lol

[ADR147]

yes its a bit off centre but he is one of the best break makers ever.

Imo a great cueist does,nt mean he,s the most watchable . Would you rather watch steve davis in his prime with his robotic hinge like action or Higgins in full flow who used to jump like a trout out of water , i know who i,d rather watch and i think the majority would feel the same .

You cant beat an unorthodox flowing player . Just my opinion of course .

[Mr.Angelo]

On: O'Sullivan, Hendry, Carter, Ding

Off: Fu, Robertson, Allen, Dott

[nugget1234]

Got to say I'm not a fan of Peter Ebdon, ever since he beat the Nugget in the WC'S back in 1992 , I really just don't enjoy watching him play. Nothing personal, just my opinion

[bonoman1970]

hendry!!!
once a great player but nowadays is like watching a slug sucking out a snail!!!!

........Why?

[hotpot]

why what mucka

[bonoman1970]

Davis is far more watchable,
he has been about for years upon years and has had upon all those years a far far better cue action than Higgins, a million miles better player, that means played most shots better than Alex,beat him up loads of times. How many times did Alex win the WC and how many times did he win the BBC Sports Personality of the year.
You should just admire Davis
just admire
Higgins is not even famous now for his own surname!

I agree about Davi,s cue action , , he,s got one of the best actions ever . i,ve never said no different , but that does,nt make him the most attractive to watch . Personally and i dont think i,m in a minority i,d much rather watch the unpredictable genious ( on times ) play of higgins , not knowing what he,s going to do next , than Davis full stop .

Yes Davis was a better allround player than Alex no doubt , but he just could,nt generate that electricity that came from Alex , And gauging player popularity in ther primes the large majority thought the same .


The debate is not about best player its which players you would rather watch .

Really seems that you tend to prefer those you've seen more often, and not - those you haven't seen much (or at all as you mention).
Works almost like advertising
