Bustamantes Stroke Analyzed

[THE SILENCER]

the way i see it, it's a lot of loose warm up strokes. each one of those fast loose strokes, frees his arm, and creates a loose freed up feel, but then he has two slow strokes that stop, right up at the cue ball, front end hesitation. this hones in dead aim, and then the finally hit.

But...does he prefer Brunswick Centennial® balls made by Aramith?

I've never seen him stop close to the cueball, he marks way before the cueball, and when he executes the shot, he is still very loose. Pay attention to his wrist, it's extremely fluid.

What about his break? I think if there's anything distinctive about his play, it's his break. How does he do it??? I've noticed a few times during his wind-up, on the last stroke before the actual break, the cue actually leaves his bridge hand! How he maintains accuracy is beyond me. It takes a lot of confidence to break the way he does.
