Playing Style
Williams is believed by some snooker pundits to be one of the greatest long potters in the game. He has compiled over 250 competitive centuries during his career, eighth on the all-time list of century makers, despite a tendency to play exhibition shots when a frame is won. He is also well known for his ability to win scrappy frames with his tactical play and picking out shots to nothing.
An unorthodox aspect of his style is a tendency to play his cue directly underneath his body instead of using the rest, which he often does when a frame is won. He is partially colour-blind and has difficulty distinguishing between the red and brown balls, once even potting a brown ball believing it to be a red ball.
