Fundamentals

I was wondering if there is a pro who seems to have the "purest" fundamentals? My definition of fundamentals is a stroking style which would basically illustrate the form recommended by leading professional instructors. In watching most pro's, it seems to me that many have their unique style which they have developed over a number of years. To me, most of these styles are hazardous, along with being very difficult, to mimic.
Thoughts?
 
Rempe, without a doubt. His stance is a bit wide, but that's because of his height. Other than that, he's about letter perfect.

Edit: Read the post a bit too fast, thought you were referring to all basics. But, again, Jim Rempe has one of the purist strokes I've ever seen. A guy who would be classed below a shortstop back where I lived in NYS has the absolute best stroke, smooth, unhurried, classic stroke I ever saw.

Someone please define the fundamentals (beyond style)...

The players listed above have eye pleasing set ups and execution, but does that mean they have the best fundamentals?

I would have to say that Efren has the best fundamentals...but what they are is hard to tell because he does not necessarily have the best "looking" set up / execution.

What about the big man...Buddy Hall...I would venture a guess he has some of the best fundamentals...(once we define them)
 
no poolplayer (not that there are none :) its just that i dont know them that good yet), but many snookerplayer have tekstbook fundamentals...

whenever i hear the word fundamentals i imediatly think of snookerplayers.
there are loads of good fundamental players there. Ronnie, steve, etc etc...
