Alex must have wondered what hit him Stevens later career showed him to be a new different level thankfully he retired when his game went downhill

For me alexes potting was and is underated he was a sensational potter ,if you look closer over the years with his epic support ,not even Ronnie comes close to the hurricane who did it the hard way ,leaving home at a young age alone to take on and conquer the world 👊

@@johndugdale145 For talent and shot making you could argue he's right up there with the best to do it. If there was a ridiculous hard shot and your life was on the line, I'd want an at his best Hurricane taking that shot for me. He's very similar to George Best in what could have been, bags of natural talent derailed by demons and addiction. Still despite his afflictions and utterly chaotic life, he's a triple crown winner, won everything to win in the sport, when you consider the severity of his afflictions the fact he achieved that feat speaks volumes for his talent. The man was going out on the piss all night and then turning up and competing at a very high level. If he'd had the mentality/temperament of a Steve Davis I believe he'd have won far more but that's just speculation on my part.

Alex has the most reckless cueing stance and composure of any player yet its just magic when he hits a shot. Jerky, zero follow through, sideways wobble on the rest and yet magic everytime. Incredible player

His downfall was mainly psychological. If he had invested time with a sports psychologist like Ronnie he might’ve had a bit more longevity and 1 or 2 more world titles. The mental pressure took its toll on Stephen I feel, these days for top athletes sports psychologists are very important.

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.
