If zion kept interrupting me like that, he'd get punched in the mouth. Pull the microphone out of your mouth, shut up, and let the other two guys say something.
Lol
The Asian/Indian commentator ruined the video. Nothing personal just the accent is annoying to listen to, he cuts off people while they're talking and it sounds like his mic is too close to his mouth.
Israel
A psychologist could help Earl with his passive aggressive moments.
What a great game. Thank you for video. Both are superior shooters. Efren proves he has magic in his shots and Strickland shows he knows the table and its possibilities!! Beautiful, again thank you for video!!!
Efren Reyes, or the magician, did not gain his exquisite and unique proficiency from nothing. He started playing pool since he was 8 y/o and now he's 65 y/o (dated today) which means he has been playing pool for 57 years (born August 26, 1954).
Efren has mastered the entire pool table angles, strikes force, unimaginable control and precision on the cue ball, and a very high self-confidence with absolutely no vanity (He's very humble and friendly by the way).
Two more things about Efren Reyes, he has never underestimated any opponent, and he has never neglected the calculation of any hit no matter how easy the ball is.
God bless Efren Bata Reyes.
Great guy Efren Reyes
i guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Matias Martinez NO!
His only weakness is the break shot.
Imagine Efren having a strong break shot! My goodness. 😂
It’s so weird how some of you people worship efren it’s very ODD ! Having said that EARL was a much better 9 ball player and the titles prove it
Dr. Looking at efren's neck (which effects his back) needs some adjusting and some pain medication. Maybe someone could get him some much needed help. Loratab NOT Oxy. The stretching on the 10' is helping relax his neck but it took a while. My Point.
Who's the guy with the foreign accent that keeps interrupting the other commentators? Dude's incredible rude.
Zion Zvi....
frenchy
No idea but he's a idiot
Guys I'm good at pool never played nine ball but I can pot broke and finished many times just saying this is probably a stupid question but... Both these players at there best who wil take the win?
@@michaelschmidt2234 Efren 'Bata' Reyes,brother. Ever wondered why the players and the people call him the Magician? :) . Efren grew up in the pool gall off his uncle ,he played form the age of 5 (i think). Even so,he played on a crate of Coca-Cola.. That kind off tells you the age he started playing. :) He literally lived in the pool hall,he SLEPT on the pool table... About the Magician, many people don't know he was a world class 3 cushion biliards players too and an fantastic carom player (like they call it in the U.S.,in Europe we call it carambole(caron).So kicking 2,3,4,5 railes is nothing for him,especially banking,every angle you can think off is routine for him. Many of his legendary matches when he was in his top form are available for watching on the TH-cam channel 'ray carlton billiards'. and many more. Then you will know why they called him the Magician. Watch the famous Z-shot he played... o.O . Kind regards,brother.
1:29:43 Efren was trying to miss the 10, hit the cushion and bump the 6 out of the way, so the 5 ball could go in that pocket, none of the commentators pick up on that, they thought he hit the 10 on purpose :)
Amateur commentators commentating on pros, what do you expect.
***** Where's Billy Incardona when we need him?
What rack is it carlos?
@@totit3609 1:29:43
omg. I thought I was neurotic but apparently I am not the only person whose pleasure from watching those two absulutely amazing players was somehow diminished a lot by Zion's commentary. dude - it is really enough to say a comment once. not two or three times in a row! one "good shot!" is really enough for people to get the message.
and funny thing - I got surprised a few times when I heard third guy's voice but from comments I can see that Zion just dominated it totally. not nice, Ziom. good to keep your ego at bay. or even better - just leave it home.
anyway - thanks for this video, InsidePOOLmag, I love both players!
The commentary was a bit intrusive, and they should've checked levels because it was clipping and just bad audio. Furthermore, it's not necessary to talk so much. A soft approach is far better.
😊
I want to give a shout out to the commentators for making this great video miserable to watch.
Worst commentators ever
I read this before watching the video Jesus you are totally correct i had to mute my phone
Iwant to strangle that commentator that always says “yeah.. yeah..yeah..” he feels that hes the one who always knows everything, wont appreciate or give what could be the best tactical move to do. Stupid man. He shouldn’t return when he left. I hope someone cut his tongue or lips apart!! He doesn’t sound like he knows how to play he doesn’t even talk about cueing technique that the players should do. Imbecile! He just sees where the balls are going but didnt knew technicalities of the game. First time as a commentator. Never get him again!! This is the most stupid guy that people have heard in commentating!! “And now what??!!” Stop coughing!!
If you think this commentary is bad, try sitting through the entire Efren Reyes v. Mike Seigel match. That's nauseating.
Why don't you give it a shot.. big mouth 🤪🤪🤪
Efren's weakness was the break
By posting these vids, you are revitalizing the great sport that is pool. I play at Steinway often, and I appreciate the effort that goes into producing these vids. You are slowly but surely bringing pool back to the level of prominence that it deserves. Thanks!
Yeah suuuuure.

The Zion guy hurts the broadcast. The sighs, eating the mic, and the not-perfect english are annoying but him interrupting the other guys trying to speak and shouting their opinions down is actually painful to listen to. So rude.

*EFRENS AMAZING SHOTS, SUPER THIN SHAFT AT 60 INCH CUE. NO LD SHAFT NO CARBON FIBER. AND MASTER CHALK*
I like Carbon Fiber better than wood, but it's not much better. Masters chalk is excellent and cheap.
These commentators took the game to some other level...to an insufferable level. (aussie guy is OK)
Yes, this is one of the rare times i watched a pool video on mute
The commentators argue through the entire match. It would have been more entertaining but it was constant. And then one of them forgot to turn off their phone. When the chick arrived, she and Mr. Giggles flirted awkwardly while he combed his hair In his dreams. She belly laughed when Efren smiled like she was at a Norm McDonald concert after smoking a little hash and inhaling a half slab of ribs at The Rendezvous in Memphis. She would have dropped a log if he'd actually done something funny. I hope she's not the one who stunk up the girls bathroom but I can't rule her out. ER ROCKS!!!. (Go Hogs!!! Bring Bobby back!)
In any case, this was a great match. ER Rocks!
Thanks for the great match to watch. Wonderful stuff! Please please please don't have Xion (sp?) comment again. He may be a great pool player, and a great guy, but halfway through the match I'm sick of hearing him contradict his fellow commentators, talking over them, cutting them off, dismissing their thoughts. ("No no no, he's fine, he's fine...") SO Irritating! no respect.
Commentators Microphone inside their throats? AMAZING!!!!
EFREN IS LEGEND
No matter what happens. Efren Bata Reyes is undoubtedly greatest full player of all time. In my fanatic pool fan no one can surpass the tremendous accomplishments of Efren bata Reyes..that is why he is no.1 in the top 10 best pool player of all time. I hope no one will dis agree with me. I have watched All Efrens game. To mention one is The Color for money. Agree dear commentators.?
Filipino is The best even in boxing ...your the best bata....haha
Baidido Ayob Madi wrong . earl has owned efren in there head to head matchups much better player and better stroke
28:18 earl says "smart, this guy's too smart". Even Earl knows how great of a player efren is
Ryan duhh all the pros respect each others game OBVIOUSLY
@@joshuahaynes7413 unlike you
Then Earl showed what not to do on his next two shots lol
onpurpose so earl next shot will miss, really smart and advaance think
@@joshuahaynes7413

I believe that Efrén Reyes has telekinesis when he concentrates on playing well and can dominate the balls mentally, although Efrén must not know that he has telekinesis unconsciously obviously. What is certain is that Efrén Reyes's destiny is to be the best pool player in the world despite the fact that he has lost pool games because he does not concentrate well...
Zion ziv is the worst commentator ever. He ruined the broadcast
Maybe Tel Aviv would be a nice place to visit for our commentator who can't stop laughing and snorting and smacking his lips. The UK guy is very well-spoken, indeed.
the shot at 1:02:20 Efren calls the corner pocket on his right. the commentators missed the call he made.
A great match to be sure. I wish someone else would be making the commentary during the match. I am not a big fan of braying donkeys
Lol
This was like rocky and apollo creed. Legendary rival. I’ll be lucky if anything like this exists again in the sport before I’m 6ft under!
A masterclass on how to play pool and how not to commentate.
Any match between Earl and Efren is great to watch....Mr OCD (Earl) vs Mr Cool (Efren)
mr ocd lol
but not to hear
stop eating the damn mic!! you don't have to have the mic touching your lips geez
Great game. Thanks to Steinway Billiards, and also to InsidePoolmag for posting it. I love to see people having fun like this. Clearly Efren was now more used to the table. No offense to anybody but Efren the GOAT.

If Earl says something highly of someone. It only means that someone is a beast. Seriously that man is hard to please and admit on to something.
Not sure why the commentators keep saying Earl was handing Efren games. Efren missed just as many shots as Earl missed to give Earl the victory and Earl missed just as many just as Efren did to give Efren victory. Were they at bad times? Yes, but both players played very well in this game.
"Efren the Magician" defeats Earl by a long shot and I think that was his intention!" Earl played great but he's was up against a The Magician! Great game! ❤️🎱
Efren schooled Earl and the commentators too
What happened around the 36:10 mark? How come Earl took a shot, commented on how lucky Efren is, then went on to shoot again without Efren coming to table?
Hahaha I was wondering that also never seen that bfr
10 ball is call shot and Earl missed and got accidental safe. The incoming player has the option to make you shoot again, and that's what Efren chose. No lucky safes when you miss a shot you called.
1:06:37 - the old fat guy in the background falls asleep and his cane hits the table next to him... you can see his friend tell him to wake up next to him 😂😂
earl is a sour gutted player when he loses
2:54 That guy clapping his fingers 🤣🤣🤣
Snapping is how you acknowledge a great shot in pool. It is a normal gesture in pool.
@@realityanalyst I didn't know that, thanks. I thought he was too lazy and didn't want to raise his hands to clap. That's why I found it funny. In my opinion clapping hands would be more natural and spontaneous.
@@davidking5104 Yeah, it's something you pick up in pool halls, it's more macho or cool I guess, in that sense.
Quite a big deal that it's Earl's practice table at his home pool hall. All things considered Efren adjusted pretty well.
keduanya pemain idola saya saya sangat senang melihat pertandingan billiard dan dimenangkan oleh EFREN REYES dan menjadi inspirasi yang luarbiasa bagi saya,semoga saya bisa ikut turnamen
To enjoy this game fully, turn your volume all the way up to off.
About 3/4 hr in, Earl got under Efren's skin a tiny bit. Then Efren put his burn on the balls.
I hate when the commentators criticize Earl for being himself/ talking to much....News Flash; the reason the sport is dying a slow and painful death is because there is no one in the game who acts like Earl anymore. No need to broadcast these matches on TV anymore because there's no characters, so no one cares to watch because it's just to boring for the average viewer. Sure the billiards community will always tune in, even to online streams, but the average Joe could care less about billiards because there's no one who plays with any style, confidence, or swagger. Its almost like watching the Mathletes these days...Strickland used to FILL the room with people/supporters in the 90's. Even if you hated Strickland, you still would LOVE to go see him play....
Damon Jaggars exactly right . who wants to watch some.boring quit man play pool .
Loved this game. Some of the comments being made by the hosts were kind of irritating. Be quiet.
Legend has it the guy is still naming off tournaments Reyes has won lmao
Earl has won well over 100 tournaments. You could do the same for him.
1:31:00 did you put any money over here? .....(totally ignores question) 😂😂😂 1:30:42 👋🏻🎱👄🎱🤚🏻
I like Gail and Zion as a commentary team
Never let zion commentate again.
Every time i tell him to shut-up, I'm taking a drink of whiskey.. bout hammered o'er here lol
@@_Ramen-Vac_poor.guy😂
🥳🥳🥳🥃🥃🥃
earl and efren should sue those commentators for giving pool shows bad rep
If only the world saw Efren Bata back in the old days before America 😂 so his equals Amang Parica and the lesser known Roy Leftie from Ilo-ilo. Legendary world class Philippine 🇵🇭 champions.
Earl was beneath himself and a disappointment to fans. A real SHAME.
Earl isn't sportsman-like, Efren is.
***** amen to that man
+ThatGuyAgen Two things are inevitable when you see Earl play: (1) If he wins, it's a testimony to his l33t skillz (and you won't even have to ask him to get that rendition; he'll gladly offer it free of charge). (2) If he loses, it's for any number of reasons *except* his own questionable execution and/or decisions. He's still the best player in the room (just ask him). Which is why I *love* watching him lose. Don't get me wrong; he's solid. Always has been. One of the best to ever play. But Efren is *humble* and endearing, Earl is just an ass-douche, and that has *nothing* to do with his pool game.
Craig earl makes pool worth watching . earl is a better player than efren I've seen it to many times. only.time efren beat earl is when earl mentally collapses. earl has the best stroke in the game and the best shot maker
REMEMBER THAT if you should ever get mugged
fool
Earl is the guy you want to beat the shyt out of on the pool table. No matter what the sport you have earl Strickland's, you just have to deal with it.
The older fellow with the cane looks like he’s fighting to stay awake, around the 1:13:50 mark, while Reyes is finishing a rack 😂
Best rivalry in pool history.... I bet these guys will miss each other battling it out......
I like how Earl always says nice things about Efren. In the Earl Strickland Presents series, he narrates and analyzes pool matches. He's always saying "Efren would do this here" or "Efren was the best at these shots." In the 9 ball round of this match, when Earl gets applause for a nice shot he says "I learned that shot from Efren. Half this stuff I'm doing here I learned from that man." It's a special bond you share with the people you battled the hardest and how much you needed them to be your very best.
@@5000rgb i would love to see the pool matches he commentates talking about efren? can you recommend me which ones?
bro mosconi and fatts > effren and earl... not skill wise but entertainment it isn't even close in my opinion
although i have owned 3 or 4 maybe more of Earl's cue sticks and i loved them. as a person i dont like him. he really showed himself like a small child at the Color of Money in Hong Kong. The only thing that he didnt do is lay in the floor and kick and scream. It was to be a repeat tournament but after he showed his butt the promoter said that he wasnt going to hold it anymore.
Earl will snap his fingers and kill half the universe.
Zion stop laughing at your own jokes. No one else does. Also stop coughing and sighing into the mic. Jeez.
i don't understand this rule why at 49min15s Efren has to continue to play twice even 1st try he hasn't even entered a ball and he has to play the 2nd time the obstructed cue ball for the no.1 ball again.? Can anyone help?
Thank you
This is 10 ball. They have call shot/ call safety rule. Efren called 1 ball to pocket. He hit one ball, but the cue ball went safe. Earl has choice to play or put Efren back in the table. Earl put Efren back.
@@naturalselection71 Thank you
My dear commentators .. Efren really is the best. He will not be no.1 in the best 10 pool players of all time for nothing. Earl is no. 5 ot 6 if I am no mistsken.
Love watching both these players.. but highly recommend watching Minnesota fats and his lifelong rival.. M
This particular video should be titled (Great game ruined by a noisy ass MF commentator)
Dock the commentators’ pay except for the #1 man. He left and a new guy JC? Came in. Dock Zion’s pay and if that JC was ignoring the table, dock him also. Not the first guy. We were watching the table while Zion was not near the mic and talking about other things. Strange.
I just got to watch this match this date and I have come to the conclusion(WELL, it's not really that hard to accept) that even these two top players of the game, are bound to miss many shots. And games are really won more, not by pocketing as much balls, but by commiting lesser mistakes.
Reyes is the Greatest Pool Player of all Time.
No he's not
Yeah he is
He is the Goat indeed

No matter who the winner is when these 2 play it's always a match to learn from. In my opinion they are the best 2 nine ball players of all times.
Yes they are, i agree.
Shane too
@@repoman2115 Hell yeah!
This was great. Thanks for making this video available. Most people would be better served by not posting negative comments. I enjoyed watching the match and the commentary. Go Efran
you are absolutely correct in explaining the series as they are it's just that Efram is the best i have ever seen and it is delightful to watch a competitor.
Efren. # 1
2:30:00 to the end of the game... these two big mouth commentators were talking about everything but the match. I bet if they were given more time, they would have talked about their sex life.
I love efrens pool but it comes in second to the way he lives day to day and treats people!!
I think it's Alex in the booth . He said he'd much rather watch a safety battle than see someone jump to get out of a trap . I wholly agree . Great safety play is a thing of beauty . Jumping , with all the noise , cue ball going all over , banging into everything....is just ugly . You rarely see a jump when these two meet up , they'll challenge each other with safeties and work until someone gets away . Beautiful stuff ! There may one day be a challenger to the crown , but Efron and Earl will probably always be the two best on the planet .
*earl wearing two gloves and the robotic arm. for 8 ball match he wore the glove on the hand grip hand not shooting hand*
Can someone explain to me what happens at 35:37? Earl plays a safety, doesn't get any balls in, and then shoots again. How is he allowed to shoot again if he didn't pocket anything?
10 ball is call shot and Earl missed and got accidental safe. The incoming player has the option to make you shoot again, and that's what Efren chose. No lucky safes when you miss a shot you called.
Earl is great but Efren is extraordinary!
Earl is better at 9 ball , most people go by feelings but ACCOLADES SAY earl is much better 5-usopens 6- world titles , efren only has 2 and 2 . Earl was visibly stronger when he was at his best . Most people are bias when it comes to efren because he is quiet and humble ! But facts are facts , earl is the best 9 ball player ever no debate
@@teddyhaynes9876it's 2024, I chose not to comment on yours until now....lolz...biased you say? Have you looked in the mirror lately? Ahh accolades, indeed earl is good at 9 ball his records speaks for itself. H'ever, have you checked Efren's record? I guess not, cause he has won in almost billiard discipline except snooker which he rarely play. Have you see the bias in the mirror yet? Peace out!

The lady commentator is amateur and childish...sighing all the time when efren wins ...so unprofessional..
He is sixty years old in this video, but Reyes could still beat the finest players in the world with that level of play--amazing.
That poor fella wearing all those gadgets is like man trying all kinds of religions when the only true one is right in front of you.....
That poor fella is Earl Strickland, one of the greatest players to ever hold a cue stick. Not sure what your religious comment has to do with anything, though.
Strickland with all his gear on looks like Barry Bonds batting in the 9th inning of a day game, while also getting ready for a tee time at the local golf course
Ruby Night he’s about to be the best server this game has ever seen.
What's up with all that gear on
Looking at the comments, I am glad I watched the video on mute.

Blessed to live in the time of these two champs. Now its SVB. RIP WILLIE! Efren is the GOAT!!
Damn COVID took another legendary pool room away from us. R.I.P. Steinway in Queens. I always wanted to play there.
just of efren have trained on this table first two days am sure it will be 3-0
It was obvious that Earl is very familiar with this 5*10 table, unlike Efren he should've gotten some practice to get familiar an comfortable with this. The commentator said Earl gave Efren control and the game! Really!! No, Efren has finally gotten comfortable with this size table, Earl didn't give him anything! Efren took control just as he normally do exceptionally. Both players are great but Efren is the best. I only wish they had another set to play the next day. Great game guys!!!!
Just because you say someone is the best doesn’t mean it ! Earl has the titles and accolades which say he is the best 9 ball player to ever play period ! When earl was at his peak and didn’t mentally give it away aka color of money he would run over efren , go watch earl destroy efren in the earl 90s usopen finals . Earl beat Efren more than efren beat him , efren was a great player but it’s annoying always seeing fanboys overrate him , todays pool players are just as good as efren and earl , todays pool is much much much more competitive . Efren was great but his break would handicap him playing long races against someone like Shane . When it’s all said and done svb will prob be the GOAT HE ALREADY HAS 5 usopens and only player to win back to back world pool masters and he got his first world 9 ball this past year . Accolades show who the best is when it matters most
@@teddyhaynes9876 Earl is also one of the best no doubt, however, I feel Efren is more confident in his ability to make a shot PERIOD!!!!!!
Fantastic match.
It's exciting to watch both these players!
Best 3 hours of programming !
