With all due respect to Mizerak, Buddy had the most ridiculously smooth stroke I've ever seen in the pool world. He made the game look so easy. It's a delivery it's nearly impossible to emulate, it looks like he's just pushing the ball. Stephen Lee was mentioned and he has that same kind of delivery in snooker. It looks like he's not doing anything, but the cueball has all kinds of spin on it and lands on a dime. Stephen Lee had the best of both worlds in my opinion, the power of Mizerak and the smoothness of Hall, but being the best player is more than just the stroke. Hall had extreme pool IQ as well, almost always chose the right way to run out. It must have been a nightmare to play him for money in his prime.
