Why do some Chinese players shoot insanely fast?
- Thread starter kingwang
- Start date
Or it was occidental....
Ornamental.
I believe some of the slow play is gamesmanship, keeping opponent seated as long as possible. I've seen many slow, deliberate players play fast while practicing and they play just as well.

Sidenote: I first heard about Soufi from one of the players in a league in which I formerly played. He brought Soufi up because I play very quickly. I don't recall if he said that I was faster or slower.

If the bangers were getting out that'd be something. The Chinese pockets require that shots to the corner be set and dialed in before swinging. That may only take a few seconds but those steps have to be there.
Those two are far from bangers and they actually do seem to be getting out pretty consistently. Tong Lu specifically is a top 25 player in China.
Ok but I saw banging. When they butcher slim ones to the corners that's banging.
