Re: Judd's really not a threat to Ronnie's records is he?

In Snooker you always had some form of a "heir", from Davis to Hendry to Ronnie that always used to win the Big 3 events and they followed a pattern targeting and winning the UK, Masters and Worlds...but Judd isn't anywhere close despite being 32.
Actually, Judd does score more centuries per frame than Ronnie.
Ronnie: One century every 10.75 frames played.
Judd: One century every 10.29 frames played.
I’m much more a Ronnie fan than I am a Trump fan, but fair’s fair. Centuries per frame takes the ‘more tournaments these days’ argument right out of the equation.
Judd has the highest century strike rate the game has ever seen.
I think comparing a century strike rate is misleading......every player sees a drop off in that stat towards the end of their career and the longer your career continues the lower your century rate becomes.
I'd like to see a breakdown on century strike rate for every 1000 frames played.....1000 frames while they're at their respective peaks would be a better comparison IMO.
Only problem with that is it’s not exactly easy to pick a period of time that reflects a player’s peak. It’s probably subjective to some extent, unless somehow a career peak can definitively be measured in numbers.
Like Judd, for example. Is he yet to peak? Has he already peaked? As discussed here viewtopic.php?f=25&t=11589
It’s an interesting little project, anyway. We’re lucky Chengdufan has agreed to complete it for us
