I'm a pretty big fan of watching all things pool, especially exciting players that have their own unique way of doing things. Which brings me to my question. Who do you believe has the most interesting stroke or even style of shooting? for me I'd have to choose cliff joyner, theres something about that piston stroke that i think is cool.
 
Stroke of luck!

Yea, i'm with you on Cliff.., I have know him a long time and watched him play alot, theres a local guy called 99 that has a pretty amazing stroke too, can do some really cool stuff with the cue ball
 
i think my second favorite would be SVB's, just because of how smooth his delivery is.
 
Agree with you guys, but for me personally like Mika Immonen. Theres a reason why they call him the IceMan and his stroke is one of them.

Forgot about SVB!

Known Cliff for so long i forgot abotu SVB!!!! its a toss up between those two! I am about to buy all of his matces on Accu-Stat...., to bad Clff doesnt really focus on 9-10 ball, would love to see him take those games more seriously?
 
I love to watch Bustamante's stroke (there's no such thing as "most unique" btw).
 
Surprised nobody mentioned Kieth McCready and the side arm stroke. Pretty unique, and when the moons were aligned.......... He'd give anybody a game.
 
My votes ...

Pure flair --- Bustamante

Silky smoothness --- Souquet and Buddy Hall

Pure power to do crazy Sh#t with the cue ball --- Semih Sayginer
 
Cliff and Efren

Went to take a look at Cliff's stroke and found this video, two hours of Cliff and Efren! They show Cliff warming up near the start of the tape with a good look at his stroke. Viewing the video for the first time myself right now but two hours of one pocket from the semi's at the Galveston Classic has to include some nice one pocket. There are commercials but you can skip them.

For me, Earl strickland, Corey Deuel and SVB all got unique strokes. but watching earl clean the table is just beautiful.

most players' stroke are unique in a way because they add stuff to it all the time. for instance, nick varner kinda shakes the wrist (if i remember correctly) when practice stroking. McCready has weird strokes i can't even describe. some players drop their elbows i can't remember the names.
 
Ronnie O'Sullivan is absolutely incredible to watch, and his stroke is so smooth.
I love Earl's effortless style of play, along with his antics.
SVB's break is my favorite because it looks so damn effortless.

i've always liked corey duel. but to be honest if i could pick any stroke in the world to make mine it'd be my buddy Jeff Gregory's. smooth and powerful. i don't have enough arm for all that though.
