As Jimmy White said, if you consider Davis' play boring then you don't understand snooker.

Steve Davis had a great solid technique , superb temperament ,was very consistent and had a perfect natural cue action . That's why he dominated the 80s .

Steve Davies dominated the 1980's, just as Ray Reardon dominated the 1970's, and Stephen Hendry dominated the 1990's. Another legend is Ronnie O Sullivan.

Davis himself is overly modest about his standards back then. The blue after the last red, and the brown when on the colours are fine examples of how pure his technique was and how dreamily he was timing the ball. You'll see that lovely millisecond of delay on impact before the spin takes effect on the cue ball in both shots as well as the white finishing in the perfect position. That delay happens when you're timing the ball in a way that can't easily be coached or described in a text book. It's either there or it isn't. And when it's there, you feel the sensation travel all the way up your forearm.

Yes indeed, for context. During the whole of the 2017 World Championships *158* Centuries were made from a total of 2,303 frames You have to add together the 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86 and 87's entire championships which runs to 9,723 frames before you see *166* Centuries. There were only 32 in the year this match is taken from. Thanks to cuetracker.net/

i don't deny that standards have improved - i've been watching and playing for 40 years but i must say that the tables in the 80's were harder to break build on because the nap of the baize was much longer which a) made the tables slower so position play was harder and b) the balls drifted off against the nap much more than they do now

@@winniewinston8377 - agreed. I still have a full size table from 1989 in my house. Cue ball control is much harder on the longer cloth, if you have to play shots with lots of side or screw-spin. So a player’s timing had to be immaculate. The standard of potting a breakbuilding may not have been what it is today, but the tactical play was something else.

Low quality break building in the 1970"s and the 1980's. It was most common for players back to take 20+ visits each in the frame before aomebody finally clinched the frame. That was the norm for 90% of the time for the vast majority of players of the 1970's and 1980's. And that even with the pockets being massive.
