No arguement from me, but did you ever notice, how his head always cocked to the side in the middle of his stroke. Is that to give his shoulder room to move? It looked odd but very effective.sjm said:

Of the older players, I would have to second the aforementioned Jim Rempe and Miz. Both are fundamentally superb. I'm surprised no one mentioned Mike Sigel. His setup and stroke are top notch, too.
Allison is an absolute model of perfection. Her alignment of swing plane--wrist, elbow, upper arm and shoulder are mechanically perfect. Thorston Hohmann, who employs a conventional pool stance, is another very fine model of plane alignment. I'd agree also with whoever mentioned Corey Duel. He's got top notch form, too.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Mike Sigel yet. His fundamentals are fantastic. He has a tendency to move around a little bit just after the shot, but his cue used to look like it was on a laser guided course. I have never seen someone cue a ball so straight, and drive thru it so level and straight with perfect follow thru- Although John Schmidt would be a close second. My favorite to watch is Earl though, with his no nonsense play, and unbelievable clutch shotmaking. Bustamante plays like god, but I would never copy his style.. he cues the ball about 2 tips to the left on every shot, then comes thru center on the last stroke.

Two tips? I have a video of him running a rack of eight ball, and on the eight ball shot, the camera views the shot just over his right shoulder so you're looking basically right down his cue. If he had stroked his final stroke in the same place as his practice strokes, he would not have even hit the cue ball. I can't believe someone can get an accurate tip placement on the cue ball with practice strokes that are literally inches off to one side! Obviously it works great if you're Francisco Bustamante, but I could certainly never do it.

why in the world does nobody ever mentioned a Taiwanese player?... Yang Chin-Sung (however that is spelled) is the best fundamentally sound player I have ever seen... however for a player who makes shotmaking like an art to behold... I'd pick Francisco Bustamante and Ronnie Alcano.... very elegant shots...!
