Reading Dr Dave elbow drop thread. With some debate going on, got me thinking about what is considered the best stroke or the most perfect cue action. I think this is very subjective.
For me, in my eyes, Efren had the best cue action. I find him fascinating to watch. It was those early 90s. I Never seen anybody since, who made the game look so easy.

I know guys today, focus so much on technique. With fedor gorst and filler being at the top of the list.
I could include snooker players into this. But I would like to, keep this just to the pool disciplines.

What do you guys consider, the players with the best stroke /cue action you have seen?

Karen Corr amazed me in the 90’s when I was at a tournament Mt.Pleasant Mi. Soaring Eagle casino. She stroked through the ball like it wasn’t even there. She won that tournament & was player of the year that year & I believe the next also. If I’d not been there in person I don’t believe I’d have been that impressed

Robin Dreyer. Still is a pool teacher in Portland, Or. He used to play Kim Davenport a lot of the time. Robin did think Kim was better.

Because of time, I don't know if anyone could honestly answer that... Even with Efren , human, it varies... Guy

Buddy Hall and Steve Mizerak hands down had the best strokes!
Miz and Buddy are the two names that always come up in threads about the best stroke. Jose Parica is right there with them, too. What the aficionados used to say of Mizerak was that he had the perfect blend of power and finesse in his stroke. If forced to choose one of these three, I'll take Mizerak.
