Players with prettiest "rhythm" stroke

Looking for some videos of some good strokes. I was trying to find someone that plays more with a head up style and stance (further from the cue) and uses more of a rhythmic stroke and release, rather than the more deliberate take back and pause of many of the top players today. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
 
different strokes for..........

2nded Buddy Hall definitely has my vote
 
Steve Mizerak. 'Nuff said. That stroke was so beautiful, and he had such a great rhythm.
 
Francisco Bustamante hands down...... he's got some NWA rhythm....

SVB has great tempo,

but my favorite stroke including rhythm is Lee Van....
 
I love Larry Nevel's stroke. His is smooth like butter, so smooth that you think he's pushing the ball.

I'm with you here....the Miz hit 'em sweeter than anybody.
He had a full range..hit like a cannon..or hit as delicate as a 10 year old girl.
Many have said if straight pool had been more popular in his lifetime...
..the Miz would have shown to be better than Mosconi.

Dallas West wasn't far away either.

Buddy Hall was maybe more efficient...his stroke would have worked on
a 6x12 or any other table ..he was the Rifleman...but the Miz hit them
sweeter.
 
Hall, Efren, Davenport , Busta, Orcollo. Souquet and Coltrain.
If you never saw Coltrain's stroke before he had the shakes, you missed out.
 
I was always partial to Howard Vickery's stroke...smoothest, straightest I ever saw. Can't find anything on youtube, but I know there's a few DVDs out there.
 
Bill Marshall, although age may have made him stand a bit higher than he did in years past.
If you don't recall the name you may remember his alias: Willie Jopling.
He was an excellent trick shot artist and One Pocket player. :)
 
I've always loved Efren's stroke. He has the same wind up before every shot. I've tried to duplicate it, but it doesn't work for me and I wish it did.

To me, Francisco Bustamante has the most elegant stroke in all of pooldom. I like to see him play. Of course, my favorite is Earl Strickland - shot-making and positional play is superb.

Unfortunately, I never saw Coltrain pre shakes. But it is obvious that he had a marvelous stroke.
 
Well some of those people just have good solid funamentals.

For a rhythm stroke besides the pinoys look for guys like Jesse Bowman
 
I like SVB stroke almost as much as Efren's pump handle stroke and Dennis Searcy just had perfect stroke. Buddy Hall could do so much with his hands and his pause and straightness is beautiful to watch. Gene "The Glove" Catrone once demonstrated how straight his stroke was by placing a beer bottle on it's side on top of the rail and going 90 mph back and forth into the bottle while looking and talking to me.
 
my fav flowing

Has to be buddy hall and efren of the last generation, this gen probably ronnie alcano or svb.
I think buste's stroke is like a picasso, it is pretty, but i don't get it. He is all over the place then dead straight.

Also roberto 'superman' gomez has a fantastic stroke
