Who do you think has the best stroke in pool? Here's my picks:

Niels feijen - smooth, perfect finish. No wonder he can run 15 racks in a row.

Steve Davis - compact and precise. No extra moving parts. Ever.

Mike Massey - pure power. Nobody in the universe can juice up a ball like this guy. I'm currently trying to do his "king kong draw shot". Seeing how far I've got to go to get into Mike's league could make me give up the game...


Just my opinion. I know at the pro level a great stroke is a must, but these are a few of the guys who seem to stick out.

One stroke I can't understand at all is Francisco Bustamante's. That dipsy doo thing he does when he strokes the ball should be another wonder of the world. Quite effective, however.
 
Massey is awesome. Gotta respect that guy. Saw him spear a masee for a shot on ESPN the other night. And man o man what a draw the man has.
 
Rafael Martinez has one of the most powerful strokes. Too powerful for his own good sometimes.
 
Neils Feijen has one of the smoothest strokes in the game as does Allison. I also like Mika Immonen's stoke alot as well, very consistent and a great draw shot.
 
Gotta' vote for Mike Massey on this one. That draw stroke is butter.
 
The most powerful stroke that i've seen on the younger generation of players is Larry Nevels....Very possibly the equal of Mike Masseys stroke.....He jacks up on the end rail and draws two table lengths.....Anybody else out there that's seen him mega-stroke the ball ? Ghost
 
Id have to say Efren, He hits the cueball where he wants to almost everytime. He also has the best follow-thru in the game! The rest? id have to say.... earl,buddy,fransico,Mika,the miz
 
I have to second Larry Nevel as the best stroke in the game of pool. Of course all the pros can make whitey dance at will.

I also have to second Semih Sayginer as the best stroke anywhere. THAT guy does things that seem impossible.

As far as all around balance of power and finesse I'd go with Efren.

Larry Nevel does things that NO ONE else can do. There are some great strokes out there but he is really amazing. For my money I will bet on Larry all day. not to take anything away from anyone else, you just have to see him when he gets going.
 
the best strokes, that i've seen are semigh sayginer,mike massey,oliver ortmann and a pro from long island new york, who could stroke like superman! his name- scott nokowski.
 
I watched the sayginer clip too and was astounded!! You have to take into consideration that he's doing all this with heavier balls than pool balls which makes it even more impressive in my opinion.

I've seen Raphael do some awfully remarkable stuff too. I'd have to say for power, the guy on the video, Mike Massey and Raphael. For silky smoothness and consistency, Efren.
