It would be hard to argue about Efren being the best there ever was, he makes impossible shots look easy. I don't care if you like pool or not, watching Mr. Reyes is something anyone can appreciate even if they don't know how impossible some of those shots are.
@@FrosWorthyEveryone gets old. How is that too bad? He was in his 40s in the 90s and is only 63 lol. Was still thrashing people till he retired, can't stay young forever.
4:37 lol, that shot really made his opponent think like "no fcken sh*t, 'hate this guy". 😂 What i like the most with Efren's game is he makes jaw dropping plot twist moves, you'd think you know what he's going to do, but it's just unexpected.
4:35 Jesus, that is actually magic at work. To think right off the bat that this plan will work is already outstanding in of itself but to execute it this beautifully is just art.
Es un genio porque juega de la misma forma en su tierra natal con su gente que en el extranjero en los torneos más prestigiosos, talento natural y mucha humildad, un gran maestro, viva Efren Reyes
Efren studied and mastered fluke shots he saw from novice players. He then apply it during tournaments, which to us are his magical shots. But whenever he was asked how he did it. He will just answer he got lucky. 😊
That's actually true. I am Filipino and there was a local documentary on Efren and his story becoming the player that he is. We all know that he learned pool at a young age at his uncle's pool hall. But he mentioned that he learned shots from other people's mistake and flukes and studying them and trying to replicate it and improve it.
It is amazing how he knows when to use masse or cushion whenever there is a ball blocking. He also knows with a limited time to think when to play safe or try to sink an impossible shot.
I've only just started watching pool matches here on TH-cam after not really watching many tournaments since the early 1990's on cable. The game has really changed a lot - if I remember correctly, there were few Asians in the tournaments back then, and now I look on TH-cam and there are lot of them and they are kicking butt. I had never heard of Efren before about a week ago, and he's amazing. Same can be said of the many Asian ladies doing quite well in their tournaments - also quite a few very good-looking Asian lady pool players, I might add. Happy to see the sport grow into many more countries. Makes me want to find time to get back on the table too. Like Efren, I prefer to masse rather than jump the cue ball, and while I have made shots using masse, I can't do it quite as consistently as Efren. :-)
If by "the game has really changed a lot" you mean being able to see more hot female Asian pool players, then you have the shallowest of all reasons for watching pool matches. Drink your milk and stick to mini golf.
Efren luôn có những đường bi mạo hiểm trong các ván đấu. Ngoài tài năng ra, ông còn là người rất vui tính và hóm hĩnh, tạo nên nét khác biệt trong các giải đấu. Huyền thoại thực sự.
The L shot of Efren that took place in China mesmerized me. Who would have ever thought that that shot is possible. Only Efren sees it. He is truly a genius in the sport.
Efren is a complete athlete.. His defense is as great as his offense.. He's a game changer, he introduce kickshots/safe to the game.. If you read his biography, this man is a god of pool in disguise..
4:58 - "He may be able to hit the edge, but he can't make it for sure." Seconds later, in disbelief: "He made the ball." I bet this happened a lot throughout Efren's career.
Efren reyes has an incredible mindset he is a truly genius and very good mindset tricks to be one if yhe best pool player bravo to him hands off EFREN REYES MABUHAY KABAYAN 🎉❤
Más de ser un maestro o el mejor del mundo lo q veo aquí q influye la imaginación con la experiencia xq x momento un novato o un jugador común como yo o cualquier otro no tendríamos idea q hacer en ciertos tiros
At 5:00 "He may be able to hit the edge but he can't make it for sure". So you were saying? Lol. That's why I love Efren because he's making the commentators swallow their words and making them guess what he's gonna do. And making them sound stupid too. Lol
Many of these are 'swerve' shots vs masse (but for a YT title, I get it). @5:14 candidate best due to the 3's distance from the pocket. @8:47 masterfully elegant. Deflecting around the 6 by a mm + swerving just past the 8. A++ @10:18 ... signature efren. No one hits those better. NO ONE. Not even Morro. @11:43 ... haven't we all inadvertently hit the point from deflecting too much there? This is just such a clinic ... partly testament to what makes Efren so effective, as there is ALWAYS some swerve on any shot involving spin. The further away, the slower the speed, and the higher the humidity ... the larger it'll be. And Efren being from the Philippines, Efren became ensconced in its influence early. And while many, many Filipinos began play at young ages ... Efren's talent and intelligence allowed him to accel in a way that no one else ever has.
But when we got to see the mature version of Efren on the world's stage, he has mastered most of his repertoire where he can call on it when necessary and make the shots. It's amazing what he can do with the cue stick.
É um excelente jogador👏 as bocas da caçapa passam 2 bolas coladas e ainda sobra espaço. banhinho numa mesa dessa, conhecendo a regra do jogo, seria imbatível!

He can do all the tricks... curve the ball, kickshot, zigzag... amazing to watch

Kiss shot also
Dapat kay Efren Reyes bigyan ng national ARTIST AWARD HABANG BUHAY PA PARA NAMAN MA RECOGNIZE YONG PAGBIBIGAY NG KARANGALAN SA BANSA.

dr reyes as he looks like he has a doctorate in pool
!!!Sin duda alguna!!! este mago es un Grandioso ejemplo de inteligencia hasta con las curvas!!!!!!
Efren is Goat of Pool Period!
The only billiard player who do trickshot on a competition and championship game
Celeh we👍👍

Indeed 👌
💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
There are things in life that you can't explain and Efren Reyes' magical virtuosity is one!
I always thought and so sure it's black magic 🙃but again it's just pure magical virtuosity.,,🤙👍👍🤙
...they cannot beat Efren using ordinary cue stick, so they invented that "jumping cue stick"😂😂😂
Efren is generations ahead of his time. Absolute Legend!
Yeah too bad now he is old
@@FrosWorthyEveryone gets old. How is that too bad? He was in his 40s in the 90s and is only 63 lol. Was still thrashing people till he retired, can't stay young forever.
Efren: Where do you wanna go cue ball?
Cue ball: Where do you want me to go, master?
Shabu
Efren is no doubt the best I've ever saw.God gave him a great gift,and riches..he's made miracle shots may the Lord continue blessing you Efren.🇺🇲🙏💞
How the hell Efren does all that complex mathematical calculations in head within that time and executes it? GOAT !!!
A magician never reveals his secrets
GOAT indeed but i don't think he does calculations in his head it's simply the result of hours of practice and some talent
Muscle memory
The era when all pool players are in a learning process until Bata reyes came and show some unique style and talents!
His control over the cuball is amazing never in my life I've saw a man as humble nice so amazing with his hobbies u got my respect
Fujhuruyhjchhjkg
yhhhhuh6hyhhujjhhh8ju
Efren proved that the shortest distance between two points is not always a line but a curve...WOW!
4:37 lol, that shot really made his opponent think like "no fcken sh*t, 'hate this guy". 😂
What i like the most with Efren's game is he makes jaw dropping plot twist moves, you'd think you know what he's going to do, but it's just unexpected.

"Lucky" is what you Get when you Practice enough to know Exactly what your Outcome Will Be.. Efren's Lucky is SKILL
This guy is the best of the best all the way 👍 ☝️👆👍 what a Legend.
I was too young to appreciate the greatness of this man. Only recently I have discovered how good he is in the game of pool. Respect.
Me too. Him is legent ❤
The True GOAT!!! He recently competed in the 2023 Derby City Classic One Pocket at the age of 69 and placed 3rd out of 400 competitors...
Wow! That was a good one good job efren Reyes thanks for sharing this video

Pool has been pretty big in Asia for decades.... lots of real high stake tournaments.
They just weren't televised on American TV.
If by "the game has really changed a lot" you mean being able to see more hot female Asian pool players, then you have the shallowest of all reasons for watching pool matches.
Drink your milk and stick to mini golf.
Yes Efren is showing how it is done by going around and not by a jump shot, this is not basketball.
I'm a 30 + yr. Pool league, level7(tops) can't even image the shot angles they can see witin 10-20 seconds It's just mind blowing! ❤️❤️😂
Efren luôn có những đường bi mạo hiểm trong các ván đấu. Ngoài tài năng ra, ông còn là người rất vui tính và hóm hĩnh, tạo nên nét khác biệt trong các giải đấu. Huyền thoại thực sự.
@ 3:51 his opponent's face reaction is so funny to watch 😂 its like he is very confuse about the situation. 'Am I dreaming or not? 😂
unexplainable shot
so unreal
but definitely true..
such a masterpieces shot.
The L shot of Efren that took place in China mesmerized me. Who would have ever thought that that shot is possible. Only Efren sees it. He is truly a genius in the sport.
There were many greats in pool but the magician is only one. They cannot do what can Efren do. Filipino pride. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Efren is a complete athlete.. His defense is as great as his offense.. He's a game changer, he introduce kickshots/safe to the game.. If you read his biography, this man is a god of pool in disguise..
his actions always create a sensation around the world, the expressions of the movements are so captivating...more.
3:51 my reaction when I watch Sir Efren playing:
There’s international professionals, and then there’s Efren Reyes!
he calculates the amount of spin needed in every situation this man is op

The GOAT talaga si idol..!
Masse shots in general are pretty cool but his are plain beautiful 💯
good job lods..ikw lng tlga wla ng iba..isa kan legend👏👍👌

Dizer que esse jogador é bom, é pouco. Esse é incrível!
Wow nobody does it better than the "magician "Efren
this is a great video to demonstrate the true skills of a master pool player making shots in competition versus practiced trick shots.
Wow..sobrang galing talàga ni Efren bataReyes..
Efren Bata Reyes is the greatest because the balls obey him.
Efren playing in his God Level skills.
This is a better video; no annoying commentary and soundtracks
Old man still got the magic touch.
He is completely master the pool in every aspect.
The goat still number one of masse shot
Many of these are 'swerve' shots vs masse (but for a YT title, I get it).
@5:14 candidate best due to the 3's distance from the pocket.

Thanks
Efren is so FN good you can't teach that
I think there's still a lot of amazing shot that we mess back then when Efren still teenager there in Philippines.....
But when we got to see the mature version of Efren on the world's stage, he has mastered most of his repertoire where he can call on it when necessary and make the shots. It's amazing what he can do with the cue stick.
Efren crazy. Even the young guys still
Can't beat him
They call him "The Magician". I call him a very talented, HARD WORKER. How many hours a week did he practice his craft?
100,000 hours easily
Dang wish I could shoot like him. Maybe in the next life who knows. Amazing he is!
Es impresionante ver el desempeño de Efren en la mesa, el manejo de los golpes, sus efectos y los resultados, son espectaculares!!!
3:40 It was at that moment HE KNEW
É um excelente jogador👏 as bocas da caçapa passam 2 bolas coladas e ainda sobra espaço. banhinho numa mesa dessa, conhecendo a regra do jogo, seria imbatível!
Menos ,menos ,esse mano aí faz efeitos toda hora certeiros,saber regra é uma coisa ,saber fazer efeitos é outra
Ever see those people who do trick shots for fun, well this is what happens when they play professionally.
Just like golfers "see" in curved "lines".. pool is a game 4D game.. Efren is the master of masters! 👍🎱
Bkit laging ads nyo leni?hahaha skip ko na tuloy🤣🤣🤣

Here's most definitely the GOAT!
Me enamore del pool desde que vi jugar a reyes
The speed this thing kicked off the rail at 4:40 was crazy.
I think I pretty good at billiard but this guy doesn’t even play the same game we are playing he is beyond a master
