Pro with best stroke?

Whoever put Efren down as having a beautiful stroke needs to have their eyes checked. His stroke is totally erratic and all over the place. All the Philippinos' stroke's are. They work really well, don't get me wrong, but they're not beautiful. And Varner too. When he's warming up he looks like he's got Parkinson's in his stroking arm.

Buddy Hall has the best stroke I've ever seen.

next to mine of course

I guess you haven't seen Parica or Andam. They have beautiful fundamentally sound strokes. Marlon Manalo?
What's wrong with Efren's stroke?

Efren's stroke is not all over the place. He's playing the violin. His stroke is very repeatable, that's one of the reasons why he's the best player in the world for the past 10 years, and IMO of all time. Do you think that just because he holds the cue very loose and has a slightly wavy motion to it that it's erratic? LOL you need your eyes checked!
 
fluid

People have named players with the best american fundamentals... In my opinion, bustamante has the most fluid stroke of anyone playing.. his stroke looks so effortless and natural... of course its a train wreck by American standards, but who's to say the american fundamentals are the most correct? I think even hacks like myself can appreciate the silky smooth stroke of francisco bustamante
 
Neils Feijen. While his head alignment is what I would call less than ideal, his stroke is exactly the same on every shot.

Earl
Francisco
Corey
Buddy (his stroke got shorter as he aged from when he was younger)

Tap, Tap, Tap!!

If you have any questions, look up the '04 and '05 DCC 9 ball finals from Accustats. Souquet has Danny D. and Mark Wilson "Gushing" over his stroke...

Mike
 
i just think to have a great stroke it has to be effortless, sliky smooth and thats way i say efren. When he plays his stroke just seems so natural.

I will certainly second that! Great vote!

I watch his trick-shot demonstration about once every three years and it always blows me away!

I don't know who has the best stroke.... Busta is the most copied and respected in Puerto Rico... but I would not call that a good stroke...

I know a candidate for worst stroke: Allen Hopkins... very short and pokey... but the man gets the job done!

Ok... best stroke.... Tony Watson's is pretty sporty and fun to watch.

did everyone forget about Mike Massey? .. I doubt anyone could pull off those draw trick shots without a massive stroke.

other choices.. Buddy Hall. Steve Mizerak. best stokes ever.. IMO
