Smoothest player now or past
« on: June 01, 2005, 03:31:48 AM »
I think David Ozzio is one of the smoothest players ever and the other side of it would probably either Earl Anthony or Parker Bohn 3
But un smoothest would be WRW and Me lol

Dave Davis!!
The archetype of Parker Bohn, his role model and mentor.
In his prime, he made all other look uncoordinated,

For a big guy Steve Cook was one of the smoothest I've ever seen.  Around 6" 7", ball looked like a marble in his hand, yet he flowed to the line like water.

parker bohn iii is the definition of being smooth and fluid...he makes it look so easy....on the other side i would have to say chris barnes is pretty darn smooth with his delivery...

from the right...Bo Burton, Jim Stefenich, and the Great David Ozio.  And that Weber kid gets an honorable mention
from the left...Earl Anthony, Mike Aulby,..and yes..Steve Cook.  Cook could lay the ball down on a mirror,..and not leave a mark.

I know a lot of people aren't fans, but Chris Barnes has an amazingly smooth delivery.

I would tend to agree that David Ozzio is probably one of the smoothest stroking rightys ever.
