Hi,
I thought i'd start a thread dedicated to those great gun slingers that shoot fast and loose; needing only one ( or sometimes zero ) practice strokes before they pull the trigger .............. and bammmmmm, they split the wiket!
These guys don't labor over any shot, they are supremely talented and are capable of executing shots with such easy and fluidity, its like poetry in rhythmic motion to watch them play .
Danny Medina
Keith Mcready
Earl Strickland ( when he's in dead stroke )
Jamie Ferrel ( maybe not as talented as the other guys, but always keeps that 1 stroke rhythm )
Cole Dixon
I can think of several more that have the little rocking motion before they zoom on the shot, and then it's 1, 2, BAMM ( Rodney Morris, Scott Frost, Amar Kang )
There are so many great players and each of them have their own unique style . I find that the stroke employed by most snooker players works best for me, the extended hesitation or pause on my follow through seems to give me a little bit more accuracy, power and control, but above all, it at least makes me look like i can play ( and that's the most important thing to a pool player impersonator like myself )
edit : jamie does'nt take any practice strokes
