David Pallett

Post by HalloweenJack » Thu Nov 05, 2020 9:19 pm

What are people’s thoughts on this player?
Wasn’t he tipped for big things? I know he got to the SF of the U.K. open and I can remember him hitting a 161 against Lewis ( at the worlds) giving it the big Un before losing 3-0 in sets.
Is he a player that could of done more, will he climb up the rankings, or will he stay at his level and eventually lose his tour card?

I didn't even know he still had a tour card. He'll lose it pretty comfortably then he'll probably be a Challenge Tour jobber.
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

Can we get a thread like this for all 128 tour card holders? Maybe we should get a Adrian Gray thread going tomorrow

Randall would love that for the post count. The only reason I put David Pallett was I’m sure ( I might be wrong) he was tipped for big things.

Probably when he made the UK Open Semis in 2018.

I put Pallett in the same category as Rowby-john. Enough talent to get through Q school but not consistent enough to be any more than a career Jobber.

I’m surprised he wasn’t reprimanded over that.

Don't get to see him much but RJR does seem to have a higher ceiling than a lot of other players near the bottom of the leaderboard on the pro tour, just has no consistency.

I was going to make the argument that RJR must have about 15 years on Pallet as well, but there's only 4

Don't remember him being tipped for great things because of the UK Open run, have to take into account Rob Owen also got to the semis, and John Part, by then a massive jobber, got to the quarters. Say what you like about current results behind closed doors, but that event was behind closed doors AND cold as fuck! :lol:

Yeah, that was 2018. Maybe it was in 2016 after he beat Kim and missed the 9 Darter at Ally Pally there may have been some hype.

On that basis, I guess he's due to do something of note this year...

I've never rated him, his action is not great and even when he has a run you never think he will sustain it.
