According to an alternative list released by the World Snooker Tour, the five players with the fastest average batting time in the 2021/22 season were 17.7 seconds of Thailand's Gotachaia Uno, 18.4 seconds of seven-time World Championship champion Ronnie O'Sullivan, 19.5 seconds of England's Jack Lisowski, 19.7 seconds of ST Ranking Champion Robert Mirkins, and 20.2 seconds of Xinke British Championship champion Zhao Xintong. According to the overall list, the male and female grinding kings have surfaced, and some fans often hang on the lips of the two "grinding kings" Yan Bingtao and Selby are not at the end of the list.
In fact, there are 19.3 seconds of Fu Jiajun in the top five of the list, but because Fu Jiajun has only played one game in the whole season, the World Taiwan Federation has not counted Fu Jiajun in the top five, and another relegated player, Jamie Wilson, has an average batting time of 20.1 seconds, which is also not counted in the top five. Also in the top ten are Jackson Page and Tom Ford with 20.3 seconds, with Jackson Page reaching the round of 16 for the first time this season in Crucible and being swept out 3-13 by his mentor Mark Williams, while Ryan Day with 20.4 seconds, Martin Gould with 20.5 seconds and Joe Perry with 20.6 seconds are commendable.
Several players worth noting, Judd Trump, who has been in the top ten of the list for the past few seasons, fell out of the top 20 last season and ranked 21st with just 21.2 seconds; Sean Murphy and Mark Allen, who are not usually slow to bat, are also surprisingly ranked 33rd and 37th with 22 seconds and 22.2 seconds respectively; "Prince Around the Table" Neil Robertson was in 48th place with 23.1 seconds, on par with Fan, who was chasing O'Sullivan; John Higgins was in 70th place with 24.4 seconds, and as he grew older, the Wizards struggled to maintain the same rhythm as the Rockets and Kim's left hand, Mark Williams was in 19th place with 21.1 seconds, and Selby was 79th with 25.3 seconds, in the middle of the 128 professionals.
In terms of Chinese players, behind Zhao Xintong is the young player Wu Yize, who ranks 16th with 20.6 seconds; Ding Junhui, who promotes fast-paced play in professional middle age, ranks 23rd with 21.4 seconds; except for Zhao Xintong, Wu Yize, Ding Junhui and Fu Jiajun, who updates his playing style, the rest of the Chinese players generally play unhappily, and Lu Haotian, Chang Bingyu and anti-Fan Zhengyi of 23.1 seconds barely rank among the TOP50 Recently, yan Bingtao, who has been ridiculed, ranked 77th before Selby with 25.2 seconds, in fact, the overall rhythm is not enough to reach the level of "Mo Wang", Lu Ning, Zhou Yuelong, Yuan Sijun and other 9 Chinese players are ranked after Yan Bingtao, of which Xu Si ranks 111th with 28.4 seconds, and the Chinese male players are at the bottom.
Wu Anyi was last in the Chinese Legion with 29.3 seconds, 117th among all players, and the "Female Demon King", and another female player, Evans, was 102nd with 26.9 seconds. And more than 30 seconds of the real "grinding king" there are 5, Azri Hegel, Lee Walker, Martin O'Donnell, Anthony Hamilton and Luca Clex, of which Walker, O'Donnell, Klex have been relegated, is currently playing Q-School trying to return to the profession, The German youngster Klecks averages more than 32 seconds to hit the ball, which is the slowest of all players, as a post-95 player is really a bit ugly.
