Amen
G.O.A.T. period!
In an interview efren said he often watch beginners play coz they make rediculous shot which sometimes work, and then he emulates it perfects it, turning a fluke into a skill.
I know nothing about billard but that sounds amazing
that sounds silly at first but actually makes sense! those “lucky” shots aren’t lucky once he can do them on command!
Somethibg that applies to martial artist on how they watch beginners. Like "but hey...well if you like this.."
that explains why his magic shots look like "beginners luck shot".
emulate*
in all the sports that ever existed, there will always be a debate on who’s the best on one particular sport, but in pool, theres no such thing, when asked the question, every single person in the entire planet will answer Efren without a sliver of hesitation
Boening and Shaw man.... Have to have the trifecta. Efren is definitely more old school, hardly ever a jumped ball in his highlights.
calling pool a sport though ... what's next, bowling will be a sport?
@@jhanks2012 Next? Already is.... Right there with darts and shuffleboard buddy.
@@jhanks2012 it already is a sport
@@jhanks2012 uhmm have you stayed for long enough in your cave that you dont even know what is happening outside?? Hahaha.. uhmm maybe you don't know it yet also there's a Esport ..
I swear it looks like sometimes Reyes tend to block himself on purpose just to get an excuse to entertain the audience with his "magic" .
Yeah i thought so too😂
he's not just a player, but a performer too
When God gives talent, He doesn’t give it to proud and arrogant person. He give it to a humble and unassuming person in order to humbled the proud. Efren’s talent is certainly God-given. There are no pool player could even comes close. He is a national treasure.
this is true! dad met him in one of his matches around 2008 or 2009 and my dad always talks about it and how humble and friendly tatay efren is. and when he showed up during the SEA games last 2019, i just thought that we should protect Tatay Efren at all cost coz he is indeed a national treasure.
Then why did God give talent (and lots of it) to someone as arrogant & obnoxious as Floyd Mayweather? It doesn't make sense. I believe it was a glitch, an anomaly 😂
your tryna make it sound like it was just given to him and not earned
@Edward MusicMan international*
@@Tam0de , eu não sei quem é esse camarada que você citou. Não sei no que ele é "fera". Mas posso te dizer que muitas vezes alguém que parece arrogante, não é na verdade. Se você conhecer a vida de Ronnie O Sullivan, e acompanha-lo, ele que é o maior jogador de tacos (no caso dele o snooker é sua melhor prática), você vai ver que para muitas pessoas ele é arrogante, soberbo. Até o odeiam. Muitos não o compreendem! Porém, para a imensa torcida dele, de seus fãs, ele é o contrário! Ajuda muito jogadores iniciantes, luta pela moralização do snooker mundial. Fala verdades que desagradam muita gente! E é muito amado e admirado como pessoa por esses que o conhecem e o compreendem. Então, quando se vê em determinados vídeos, ele massacrando e ainda tirando onda de alguns jogadores extraordinários, parece arrogância dele, maldade, sacanagem! Porém, se você souber a verdade do que se passa nos "bastidores", vai ver que a verdade é bem outra! Ou seja, é ele irritado com quem o julgou ou o menosprezou!!! O que eu quero te dizer amigo, é o seguinte - o que é, as vezes, não é. 😁😆
What impresses me about Efren is that, he takes risk with those shots, whatever the outcome is, that no other pool player would dare to do it. Truly a gifted pool player.
it's not a risk for him. he knows the table so well.
Naah if your a serious player you'll think you can make any shot despite the risk
He has the guts to take those shots (also because he knows he can), that's why we see magic.
@@frieddayfriday pl
trust in one's own ability .. It's not risk or luck if you know you can do it
If you wanna hide the ball from him, might as well take it home, in a safe, underneath a bunker. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol!! so true! I wonder how many guys thought: "I got him blocked now!"
When myself and the better half play this is what I always tell her. You could take the ball throw it across the street behind a tree and in the dark, he would figure out some shot.
hahahaha yeah
😂
17:15 was the most creative thing ever seen. Never once even considered such a shot and he did it like taking a drink of water.
Exactly!!! Mind blowing 🤯🤯
100%
💯
That was another fluke shot made by a novice that Efren perfected and use in his games just like the one in 20:30.
That isn't a new shot.The ball needs to be hit at a precise point and with precise speed at the rim of mid pocket to be deflected like that. And it varies with the angle you hit from. He did it perfectly. 👍👍
He doesn’t just win, he wins with style
2:16 1 rail long cut
4:43 2 rail long cut
11:16 *4 rail cut
14:41 3 rail cut
17:14 *side pocket edge shot aka Z shot aka "The Efran" (!)
19:20 deflection bank shot
20:42 *bank cue ball deflection side pocket (!)
22:03 deflection corner side 2-in-1 shot (one corner, one side)
Please like to have this near the top for fans and future fans alike to admire Efran's immense talent
17.14 is the L shot. The Z shot was the game between Strickland.
as a fan of efren, i watch the full clip.
I just love the 4 rail cut
Thanks for this
@@xocomaox The most diffcult of the all. Much harder than his Z shot.
It's all fun and games until Efren hits the table...then it's art.
8:11 see the girl cheering when the positioning was made by Davis, and look at her after Efren does his magic. LOL
Hahaha!!! She's like "ooopppssss, I dropped my knickers too early..." lmao
I was about to comment on that but am glad I had seen this. hahahah. meme material
I was going to post same thing. It was priceless to see.
She is all clapping for her man (I assume) a few secs later straight up RBF!!
So good to watch!!
why was that so satisfying.......the cameraman knew it too lol he's like "lemme get the saltiness on camera!"
I had to click again to really see her hahaha
Reyes understands the physics and geometry not just in his head but in his hands and body, too! What a talented player! once in a 100 year guy
Actually he said that his skill came from “chamba” that translates to Filipino word “Lucky Shot”. He said that all of his shot was all about risking until he knows what works and what’s not.
Most of all, he has “balls” to take those ridiculous shots in a tournament and even in a championship game.
@@Ccm2019 he said more practice he do, more lucky he get
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Courtesy Wayne Gretzky.
I'd call that skill. Talent is something you don't work for but just have automatically. Efron worked on his skills.
everyone: hides the cue ball
efren: wanna see magic?😅😅
Love you😁
and everyone loves those magic xD
Hahaha
Hahha exactly
Copied in a video🖕🏻
Reyes understands Geometry better than most mathematicians.
EDIT: I know he's not a Geometry professor guys. I was making an exaggeration. Whatever the scientific applications are that are involved in the game of pool, doesnt mean hes crunching numbers or calculating all this wild shit in his head because that's not all the game is about. It's about feel. And a lot of this is just natural talent and instinct that can't be taught really. He's incredible!
@meaturama 3rd graders can spell better than u!
Not gonna lie, that saying always bugs me. Do you think he's actually calculating some angle or trying to square a circle or has to know what a parallelogram is to play pool? None of that is helpful. All you do is look at the direction the ball has to go, and hit the opposite side of the ball. It'll go the direction you hit it, if you hit it right. And what does hitting it right take? Not math, that's for sure.
I know, you all are still trying to say: but bank shots! Combos! He's amazing! And he is, but is that math? No, it's practice, and learning how the ball bounce off the rail at different speeds, with different english and at different angles. All three of those have significant effect on what the ball does, and is that math? No, it's practice.
Everybody..... chill out 🧘🏻♀️
Relax guys. Its just a figure of speech. 😂
exactly mate
Not a big pool watcher, though I play from time to time. Just kind of stumbled upon this video. Aaaaaand, had no idea this level of skill existed 😅
He's truly legendary alright... but I also think what made him the GOAT is that there isn't an ounce of ego, never a mean bone in his body, despite his skills. Players from other countries even visited Pampanga (his hometown) often just to leisurely play with him. He enjoys playing, and loves the challenge, win or lose. Love this man.
I imagine him being a bit cocky after beating Mike Sigel, his very own idol, but he's still as humble as when he started. Huge respect!
I don't even like Sigel. But he's been away from the game too long. And it showed.
Mike Sigel is complete tool...he deserves that
Mike Segal played so bad in that king of the hill match that I wouldn't have even thought he was a professional let alone a legend if I didn't know who he was
@@bw4593 "The more i practice, the luckier i get" - Efren Reyes
,
The Z-shot versus strickland was legendary. I watched it live that time 😊
onin darkmoon wow :o
Best shot of all time
Wow
Same here. Was still a kid eating dinner with my dad when he hit that shot on Live TV. We were jumping like crazy.
What I love about Reyes is that he visibly enjoys making these shots. He’s as delighted as we are. He’s not some fake cool cat.
true!
He's just genuine and he loves what he does and he's not hesitant to show what he feels about his work, and honestly if I had the skills like Efren, I might do backflips everytime I do ridiculous shots.
If the inventor of the pool is still alive he will be so thankful to efren for making it such a wonderful work of art ❤️
Dont play safety on reyes, it is not safe.
LMAOOO
Lol☺ you are right dude
My father really like watching efren games. That was the time i am just 7-8yrs old. Now im 25. All those years ive seen efren's sorcery and its awesome. Most of his game cant be seen in youtube though. He is so amazing that even for a little boy to enjoy watching the game of pool.
Ulol
cancer spotted
Any world pool player champion can also do all the tricks he does on the table. But none of them has the “GUTS” to do it during a tournament. Only Efren “Bata” Reyes has the BALLS!!! Definitely the “Magician.”
So in other words... No they can't.
@Will Rich no problem actually what you are saying is right on the pocket🎱😊
You are right. Efren has said, "Believe you can make it". And it happens.
No ...some of other try but cant execute it like efren they need to study it first and need measurements and take 10 or more shots to execute it
Other pool player didnt do it bcoz they cant do some magic like efren the L SHOT OF EFREN IS THE BEST
He did the work. He deserves every accolade bestowed upon him. He is simply the best. Bless this man, Efren Reyes.
Efren and Manny "Pacman" are two Filipinos who really made us Pinoys proud!!! Kudos to you both, sirs!!! Both came from humble beginnings... and they retained and practiced their humility amid their laurels...
Cringed
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.
:) but hes not a magician anymore T_T now hes a wizardXD
@@joshsorevitnac4746
He will always be remembered as the magician of pool.
@@joshsorevitnac4746 🤣🤣
Just started playing pool, I’m not anything compared to him! BUT we have the same birthday :) Aug. 26 ! I thought this was so cool!
Great comment unknown very well said he's great under the pressure too, never gets shook by big money just sticks to his knowledge and experience and creates poetry in motion a true honor to watch such a humble legend like the magician Efren Reyes the best ever once in a lifetime talent
I can't think of any more cooler nickname as a pool player than "The Magician"
He's a wizard
It's fitting!
His shots are like magic tricks. You think it's impossible yet he still does it successfully.
"Bata"- The Kid
Gandalf
Whoever called him "The Magician" first, must be sitting on his/her chair right now saying, "I never was wrong."
20:42 Reyes "Side"...BAM. For him to mess around like that on a winning shot and sink it is true GREATNESS. Gotta love this man. Truly a magician and a humble showman.
He plays better than me with computer assisted line on display. Amazing guy.
In reality 😂😂😂😂😂
Efren sees everything on the pool table
He is just so amazing. The man.
This comment made my day. 😂😂
He had it too, on his eye we just cant see it
😅that's true bro
How many time do you think Reyes got himself into some heat deep in the Philippine pool underground schooling these fools before making his pro entry? What an absolute monster and pool genius. Hats off brother
iconic
Mike pawlik..thank u
He was constantly smuggled out of his school before his teens by gambling lords to hustle
20:37 was my favorite. After sinking the nine ball, he watches the cue ball and smiles as it slows. Still smiling as he walks around the table. He calls "side". One spectator hollers, "What??" Everybody laughs.
Then... OMG!!
You could hear him chuckle as the 10 was approaching the cue ball on the way back from the end cushion.
Classic case of "He who laughs last, laughs best."
I'm thinking this must be a shot he practiced hundreds of times when he was a kid. Perhaps a bit of nostalgia, here? Like, "After 52 years of playing pool professionally, I finally get to make this shot!"
Edit: He was probably thinking, "Hey, this is just an exhibition. Anyway, I'm up 6-2. If I miss, so what? Everybody will love the attempt."
Sweet comment but on point
Llolozaz
17:16 wow what a legend😱😱😱
Whos here because of 2019 SEA GAMES?
Meeee
@Claren Dennis same here, until a couple of years ago. Wow, he is amazing.
20:30 look at his expression when he shot the ball, he literally want the cue ball to be in that spot so he can use his magic to side pocket the 9 ball, he's so happy when he land the cue ball where he wants it, he can't side pocket the 9 ball if the cue ball was off the mark, he is indeed a magician.
In case you haven't realized, that shot is a classic example of a fluke shot made by a novice that Efren perfected. And here, he finally had the chance to show it off to entertain people. The way he slammed the chalk down before going around to the other side of the table was him saying -it's showtime.
@@edisontesla3932 shut up....
That's amazing!
17:05 that was dope. You are good if you could do it, but only the badass would use it in an international tournament. Salute!
2005 shot vs Sigel was SAVAGE. 2010 and 2015 corner shot magics are two of the greatest shots as well, along with the Z shot. The 10 greatest pool shots probably belong to Efren. :) GOAT undebatable.
Definitely NASA must hire Efren for consultation on trajectory/ physics when collision of metorite might come. LOL..
Yeah😂😂
@@allroadsleadtoRoam watch armageddon..
@@MEh-dc4jji meant that as all they do is on earth. i go to space more than nasa when i have a puff.
Nice observation
Nice one
I have a theory... i think he knows he can win every single match in his career. I mean he CAN literally pocket every single shot he made throughout his career BUT.....i think sometimes he INTENTIONALLY miscues for people to think he is not invincible and is so humble enough to make it seems he can be defeated.
Right
He wins all the big prize money
He doesn't want to monopolize the game of pool. Class act.
it's straight out of the Art of War. it is sometimes beneficial to make intentional tactical "blunders" to encourage the adversary's overconfidence. a man will always fight harder when backed into a corner fighting for his life. you always leave the enemy a perceived "way out" that way the thought of giving up is always in the back of his mind.
Maybe hes just enjoying the game and dont want to become saitama (onepunch man)
20:40 when reyes said he will going to shoot the ball on the side they laugh cause they think he was joking. Amaze at the end haha lmao
@18:50 "Ahhh ... safety!", says the expert commentator. "I don't think there's offense here", he added.
Efren analysed the position then points his cue at the top left corner pocket calling his shot.
Then comes the simultaneous analysis while Efren jacks up, "He's gonna kill the ball and try to put it behind the 5 & 6, ... Ooooh! OMG! Wow!", commentator says in disbelief.
How many times has Efren made commentators eat crap after their "expert" analysis? A lot!
Hahahaha i really want to have a compilation of this.... Scientific commentators versus efren execution
one of the most amazing shot i have seen not because its difficult but because no one have seen it can be done
He plays anyone in the Philippines he doesn't mine if he lose. He's point to gain more knowledge plus who ever beat him that person get encourage in the game.. He's a Humble person. I Hope that he will attend some gatherings to speak to people to encourage people or younger kids to the game of Billiard encourage them to stay out of drugs stay in the school and listen to their Parents..I Hope he will do that. Praying for you Mr Efren lots of people idolize you watching you all over the World. God Bless you 🙏🙏
Try to use His *
And yup his a king
Sorry to say that teens here in Philippines are shit full of stupidity

EFFREN "THE MAGICIAN” REYES
💪💪💪💪💪🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
#RESPECT👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
#BilliardLegend👑
The G.O.A.T. in Pool! Not up for debate
Facts. Not only was he the best at it (so far), he also revolutionized the game with all those crazy shots. Amazing.
Everyone is debating on who is the best in each sport. But Efren, he just sits on his throne. No questions ask.
Diagree. Willie Mosconi in his prime. He ran 526 balls without missing in straight pool. Nobody has ever come close to that. This was done in the mid 50's.
@@MrUsnavyvet being GOAT is not just how many ball has been pocket, is how you made that shot in a pocket
@@MrUsnavyvet just go home and eat your veggies.
He's just too good to the point he even faked his name just to enter a competition💪
Oh really?
@@blckpnkroseislifeu6658 he faked his name during his time in the US cause no one wanted to play with him. And then when he learned that there is an upcoming competition that's when he revealed his true name.
@@blckpnkroseislifeu6658 look up Caesar Morales
I could watch these shots all day. It's extra impressive when a player constantly reminds you that the angles in pool are just a small fraction of what's involved. Some of them are literally like combination locks to where you can't just get an angle or striking force perfected. It has to be the combination of several variables all coming together within incredibly small windows of tolerance.
He really makes you rethink a "safety" shot when he can pretty much reach any spot on the table with ease
He is incredible
I envy Efren's ability to make it look so easy. No matter how complex the shot he just gets up to the table and shoots it. Doesn't spend a minute and a half walking around the table eyeing it up or looking at different angles - just walks up and shoots. The magician indeed.
17:17 did y'all see that 💪💪💪💪
17:16*
CRAZZZZZYYYY, RIGHT??
It's a perfect shot actually not too hard but to perform it in a tournament that quickly without hasitation you have to be the magician
he just one-up his opponent.
Wow amazing..
Lets be honest, until efren came along no one thought of the shots he made was possible.
He is and ALWAYS will be the GOAT! Thank you Efren for your greatness!
17:15 is the craziest shot. He used the edge of the pocket to bounce the cue ball, in a narrow line. And 20:40. He actually hit the ball with the cue ball twice before going in. Crazy shot.
that blew me away too..
Ya the 17:15 was unreaaaaal
Agree! Crazy shot vs Chao pong fang
🇵🇭
I slapped my forehead when I saw that shot. That shot is 100 years ahead of our time, its no where to be found in the book of billiards until he did that! Truly mind blowing...
The guy who invented pool surely proud of Efren! If he still alive he's clapping 😂😂
Only if he's 800 years old
@@larrybargon5018 some people actually believe that as recently as a couple thousand years ago, people lived to be several centuries old and that as recently as a couple hundred years ago, average adult life expectancy was about 30 years but now it's roughly somewhere in the 70s
Class is permanent. Greatest of all time "EFREN BATA REYES" Living Legend 🔥🔥🔥👍👏👏🙏
16:31 unbelievable. A cleverer shot over a clever shot, many levels of clever.
At first I thought those were flukes...but no one can be lucky that many times...it's pure talent...G.O.A.T...
Talent is meh. I think its more appropriate to say skill. Because he has been playing so much and practiced so hard and to say that it was talent may be a bit underwhelming. He once said I think, that he practices and plays alot well and he gets lucky. It would make sense because if he plays well, the chance or his luck would also increase as compared to an amateur.
Isaiah Philip Olaguer you think you can call all of that shot lucky?? Come on man nobody can have that extreme luck again and again for a decade
Thats just him being humble but we all know luck isnt consistent and once in a lifetime
But to be able to pull those shots off consistently tells you he knows what he's doing
17:16 was the most mind-blowing!! Never have I seen anyone make a shot like that before! It’s so impressive.
100% wow #1🏆🏅
Efren young: Magician
Efren old man: Wizard
Damnn😳😳)😍
That side pocket shot was truly magical. 🎉
Such a gifted mind from God. He sees things us mortals can't comprehend, then we witness his Genius. Thanks for the lessons and inspirations Efren "The Magician" Reyes!

The real amazing skill EfRey brings to the art of pool is his humble contenance after defeating the world's best (and cockiest) knowledgeable defenders of billiard skill.
The smile on Efren’s face at 20:35 when he knows he set the trick shot up perfectly
"He doesn't mind playing the safety."
"No. He loves this part of the game."
Yep, he'll always be the one and only magician. GOAT. Legend.
when someone hides the ball, he immediately goes up without hesitation like hes saying "this is what i live for"...
No jump shots needed, he enjoys the challenge
Yup, that's his forte..
Came back here after the SEA GAMES OPENING CEREMONY 2019
Me too lol
yeah
20:38 everybody else: hits the ball straight into the top left
efren: side pocket 😁😁
everybody else: top left
efren: ok
also efren: sike! side pocket! 😅
Any opponent: plays safe
Efren: so you have chosen death
That multibank shot against Jeong (2004) is arguably the greatest shot I've ever seen. Unbelievable. 🇵🇭 🇵🇭
Such a pool genius, the greatest to ever hit the table. Gotta respect the great MAGICIAN
The legendary Magician! Love from Malaysia..
Seeing one of the best like Immonem and Strickland giving Efren a jaw drop is imaginable ....Truly the best of the greatest pool player at all time ...Truly a Filipino pride...He makes the unimaginable into a imaginable ones...Truely a magician
I think his opponents try to snooker just to witness Efren's Magic.
Dan N whats "snooker" idk anything abt pool hahah just love this dude
@@craeg_ Snooker basically means making the opponent take a tough shot.
What separates Efren from the rest is how well he can kick at balls. No one on this planet is better at it than him.
Not all legends wear suits, some of them wear polo shirts! Humble Legend!
the shot in 17:17 is like the same level of difficulty and shock with Vince Carter's slamdunk over a 7'2" player in FIBA. Both will never be forgotten.
@ 20:30 Did you see how Efren tap the table and smiled?
Crowd thought he 's joking.
Incredible.
The boss
I am sure you and me too
It was at 20:41 not 20:30
The audience said whhhhhhhhhat....... Love that reaction and then lol
@20:23 I was wondering why this was even showing, then got introduced to the most arrogant/awesome thing I have ever seen. Love it.
20:30 he even called it. GOD LEVEL
The reason I like this guy is he’s not afraid to admit something he did failed nor is he afraid of the idea of boundary he breaks the idea of what most consider impossible cause he doesn’t fear losing this is player who truly enjoys the game.
11:17 was the toughest shot imo
There are more like those shots. 4 cushion shots.
Chinese translation: Oh my God... This is the magician in action!
That was straight up sorcery. Damn.
at 14:41 is also a tough shot
@west end punk the z shot was for the win though. Its the finals. Much bigger stakes
It is not whether he win or lose, it's how he plays the game, and that is winning the crowd. He is truly The Magician.
In the past, the word "Lucky" was common when he made impossible shots. My opinion, it is not lucky when we all witnessed he pocketed too many impossible shots. You hardly see him perform jump balls because of this unique ability. I can say he is very talented and a complete pool player; one of a kind in this generation.
Exactly, he knew immediately if he missed or made a crazy shot. Never thought as him as lucky, just extremely talented.
i always watch efren in you tube and discovered that efren don't have a jump cue or use jumpshot but instead he used masse shots curving the white ball and its more entertaining
I love it when he acts like he messed up and doesn’t have a shot just to prove everyone watching wrong
Thank you for taking the time to compile all of these! Very enjoyable and nostalgic to watch.
Youre welcome 🤣
10:03 love how the ball shoots then left the opponent's mouth open
11:18 , 15:08 .. He should be inducted in the Hall of Fame twice for this 😊
20:40 my favorite lol :)
17:15 - God level
Totally agree
Someone, please, do an interview with Efren. Show him this video, then ask him to tell us what the hell was going on in his mind before deciding to do all these.. i want to know how he thinks
He different than other players , he such a humble person very calm , no one can replace the magician
Волшебник. Всегда им восхищался. Мышление не стандартное, хоть я и занимался 7 лет бильярдом, но его подход к удару вызывает только восторг.
20:42 I love it when people laughed when he called side pocket. They probably thought Efren was joking only to get amazed when the 10 ball actually went side pocket. Just pure genius.
"What..?!!?"
The way he reads the trajectory and puts just the required amount of spin on the ball to hit the mark is why he's magic.
I think he forces his opponents to play the safes he wants them to play, so they position the balls in such a way that he has a chance to make it in. Pure genius! Not only does he think ahead with his shots, he makes his opponents do his bidding!
What happened in 17:15 was pure magic!!
Big up to Efren Reyes the true Magician...
Rip
Not only a legend for he excelled in many games but also for the character and humble nature he brings to the table as well as his innovative cue ball control. The more he practices the luckier he gets! What awesome dedication and spirit!

20:42
efren : side ball
someon in the crowd: whaaat?
crowd: laughs.
efren: let my skills do the talking.
😂😂😂
He had already done that before in another game where he is in the big lead.
NANI??
he was playing with them 😂
The Germans were all amused & entertained
The man in the background said...i dont understand???
If snooker have Ronnie O'Sullivan, then billiards has Efren Bata Reyes. Agree?
No.
Snooker is a totally different skill level. Anyone who can hold a cue can look half decent on a US pool table.
@@stan4097 Snooty is definitely a totally different skill level. One you've mastered.
I'm a snooker fan and I totally agree. Reyes is incredible to see, he dares everything, his all-attacking style is pure magic. It would be great to see this man at a snooker table! I'm sure he'd be brilliant!
Garthe Knight sure it's a different game,but if the skill difference is as big as you think,why didn't the snooker players not just come take over the game of pool,,many came and played it and did well,but they sure didn't just own the table.
17:11 i was thinking
. Is efren gone crazy.. why is he aiming at the side pocket".. then he execute the most creative shot ive ever seen then i peed my pants.. thinking again how in the hell did he come up to a shot like that in a tourney..
for real.
when I first saw it I thought it was fake 😂
but when I saw who made the shot... "ahh it's The Magician, of course he can do that"
it's not a fluke either, he deliberately aimed at side pocket.
This is God given talent amplified by a humble guy who worked harder on his craft. Well done. Amazing!
He does not only play to win but to make the audience applaud with awe amazing shots...
Am i the only 2019 here who’s watching this? #Shookkkkttt!!! #2004 was amazeballs!!!
8:45 other than the z shot, this one is my favorite. Purely amazing, Magician.
And i love the reaction of shame of that lady who shouted "Go Steve"... after Efren did an amazing shot!!
my idol, from his humble beginning he strive to learn the game, then mastering the pool table every centimeters of it and conguering the world every one he meet are all in awe wondering how did he do it, he has a simple weapon that his opponents never had and that is patience, in this kind of game you have to have nerves of steel, concentration and patience, what a simple man he is, he doesn't brag in every game he won, this man is truly an icon, he knows all kinds of triangle geometry has and applied it in every game he played from surigao city i salute, my idol
