Mark Wilson is a big proponent of a long stroke with a pause on final delivery. In this clip, Wilson measures Alison Fisher's backstroke at 1.702 seconds and observes that pros usually fall within 1.2 to 1.8 and amateurs 0.4 to 0.8 seconds. Cisero Murphy's two shots here are 1.649 and 1.898 seconds.
I've timed different pros in slow motion and have found that a lot of exceptional pool players actually fall around 0.8 to 1.0 seconds but the point remains that their backstrokes are slower and more controlled than amateurs. Typically only players with a snooker background have pauses as exceptionally long as Murphy's or Fisher's.
