But peak Trump might win an actual match.

Luca won a world championship playing naughty snooker, beating Ronnie, MJW, and Selby. Very naughty.


Yep, he's brilliant. But peak Luca vs 2019 final Trump would be a complete coin toss.

2019 was pretty naughty. Can’t discount that.

Do you think he has more screw than Judd?


Just. By a slither.

Interesting. I’d say he has more topspin but not more screw. But what do I know.

Topspin I’d say it’s not close. He and Selby have the most imo


Mind you, that green of Judd’s a few years ago was quite a benchmark.

You know, you make a strong argument.

FWIW I’d put Willo ahead of Judd on that score, too.


I disagree about Mark Williams. Even Stephen Hendry often says Judd plays shots no one else can.

That’s not how I define naughty snooker.

Peter was a brilliant shot maker in his day


And a flair player in his early days. Very exciting.
Younger People don’t believe me :sad:
Just like they don’t believe me that pubs used to close between 2 & 5 (or was it 6?) before 1992 :hmmm:
