  • Who is the slowest professional snooker player?

    Peter Ebdon?

  • #2
    I would say on average Peter ebdon isn't. When he is slow he's extremely S L O W but when playing at pace he's fairly brisk so average shot time won't make him the slowest. If we're talking pros past and present how about Eddie Charlton?

          Dave Harold?
          I often use large words I don't really understand in an attempt to appear more photosynthesis.

            Ebdon is not the slowest definately, on certain occasions he has taken slow to a new level but on average he's actually not as slow as people tend to think, I feel. Dave Harold just gives the appearance of being slow by the way he moves nothing when down on the shot, again not that slow if timed I think. The slowest on tour at the minute is between Rod Lawler and Rory Mcleod. I think Rod is the slightly slower of the two.

              Peter Ebdon is often labeled as defensive and slow, but he occassionally plays faster and even attempts crazy pots which surely doesn't fit the defensive scheme one would think of..
              Therefore, Dave Harold or Rory McLeod would probably get my vote.
              All the way Mark J!!

                When things gets tricky, then Ricky Walden can be very slow as well, not in executing the shot but more in considering what to do. But overall I back Mcleod or Lawler.

                    Lol good one.

                    I feel Jamie burnett is quite slow as well.
                    His shot selection and thinking before the shots is pretty quick. But he takes too much time feather. Even on simple shots he feathers atleast 10 times that too not including the small 1/2 inch feathers.
                    When you are watching him and when he stops feather you think " ok hes about to hit" and whooops he starts feathering again. I like his game though.

                    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEarH2rS13o check this video and see how much he feathers even on straight forward shots.

                      Stephen Lee isnt far behind. He likes to do the "walkabout" a lot

                          Right. Well thanks all, seems the consensus is Mcleod or Lawler. Can't say I'm familiar with either of those players but I'll watch for them.

                              As good a player as Terry Griffiths was, he was a pain in the neck to watch, because of his very slow play. Even when he was a top amateur.
