mrb018538 I probably wrote that wrong. I know he had a very successful career, what I meant was he dropped out of the top 16 a few times which is around the same time as the games that were being investigated. He then had some better results and moved back up the rankings just before his ban.

What I like about the Higgins one at the end, the frame was already over and Davis had won it but the colours were still on the table so instead of conceding, Alex just started playing exhibition pots to ensure he got the biggest cheer even though he lost the frame! No wonder Steve had a sour face at the end.

For me it has to be Alex Higgins because he was a pioneer for doing those type of shots. Yes you can argue there are players who could execute them better but in those days the things he was doing was crazy! Especially on those older and slower tables and it laid the foundations for more players to go for those attacking aggressive shots

Nice compilation. Another player with incredible cue power from back in the day was Neal Foulds although you'd have to go back to the 1980's to get some of his. I think he was the first player I recall being able to play a full length of the table shot and being able to screw the white back into baulk. And prior to Jimmy White there was a left hander from South Africa (I think) called Perrie Mans who used to play some of those ridiculous screwbacks that Jimmy later made famous.
@EnglishPoolandSnooker3 жыл бұрын
Thank you. I remember Neal Foulds but not that well, I think he was ranked number 3 when I started watching snooker and I went to one of his exhibitions. I don’t really remember much about his playing style. Perrie Mans is a little before my time.

Higgins had the most cue power out of all these players. I've seen loads of shots on yt vids that only have about 20 views with him putting more banana into and spin into shots than any here.

I still believe that Jimmy White is the pioneer and king of the banana shot, even more so than Alex Higgins and recently Judd Trump. Quite a few of Jimmy White's classics were not featured here... such as the one where he smashes in the black off its spot, bounces the cue ball off the top cushion, bananas the cue ball into the side cushion near the centre pocket, where it rebounds all the way to the balk cushion and lined up perfectly for the yellow sitting on the balk cushion.
