Texas, USA. Just discovered Efren today. I drempt of shots like his, and even attpted them on my friend's table. But NEVER did i think someone could actually do them. Multiple bank shots, being able to plan a deflection off another ball...All while having perfect control of the cue ball? This guy is the best and has ice in his veins! RESPECT!
If you haven't seen Efren's Z shot, you really need to... I've been playing for over 30 years and have seen some crazy awesome shots, but nothing tops that.
The guy made this video is Philippine, he pride about his nation and proud of Effren so much so he made up what Davis said and totally untrue. It’s not a click bait but a untrue stupid video title
I'm not disagreeing that Efren is a great player, but to say Davis thought he would dominate him is simply not true. From the start of his pool career, he had total respect for all the top pool players, and knew his own weaknesses in pool. Don't forget, the following year, Davis was more shocked than anyone when he managed to knock Efren out of the world 9ball championship.
what's amazing is completely different styles of those 2 players. The way they position their body, how the hold the stick, how they shoot etc. Davis is like a machine, totally calculated without any unnecessary movement, and Efres is like a wild horse to the point I have no idea how he is so precise with that much of body movement. SOmehow the way he executes the shots I always think there is 0 accuracy possible. Was a pleasure to watch both of masters at work nontheless.
Efren is a legend, but not a single person who knows snooker and who is watching this, would EVER believe Steve Davis would say he would dominate ANYONE ! He's a professional, and a very down to Earth and nice guy. Please change the title. In fact, even though you never showed the film after all the frames, I would guarantee Steve Davis would be smiling despite coming 2nd, and would also be congratulating Efren.

Nope. Efren is really good at playing pool. By his dominance you can tell. I can see the comparison. Given the same situation still Efren got the win. Watch some of Efrens game and you'll see.

He is a master in Pool , but i saw a vid of him playing snooker Efren its really low level on Snooker I can assure Snooker its Another level , Every Snooker player can do great on 9 ball pool , but unfortunately i cannot say same for the pool players on Snooker!

Would be interesting to see it the other way round. I suspect the good snooker players would get the best pool players a real run for their money. However it wouldn't work the other way round.
That was.. frightening.. at least to me. Seems like Reyes was 'playing' with him. Giving him chances at the first few rounds to see his skills, and.. well he kinda ended it by huge margin because "I've seen enough". To put cherry on top, he humbled us all by saying "I got lucky"
Ridiculous title. Where did Steve Davis say that? He played on the same pool stage as Efren, whereas Efren wouldn't even get in the door of a snooker competition.
davis can only snooker at elite level and no other billiards discipline. efren can play several billiards disciplines at the elite level. he is far more talented than davis for that reason.
@@quickstep2408 That's wrong. Davis won the pool trickshot world championship three times. He even won against Reyes himself in 9 ball world championship 2000 where he reached the quarter finals. I don't know, if Reyes played elite level snooker, but I couldn't find information for this. And I think the difference between 8 ball 9 Ball and pool trickshots is less the difference between 9ball and snooker. So I think being elite in snooker and 9ball is more difficult than being elite in different pool variations.
@@TheKickerfreakkami di berbagai belahan dunia tidak mengenal siapa devis. Kami mengenal efren, sebab cuman ditangan efren biliar itu seperti ada seninya.

@@dave5176 we got to actually watch Steve Davis, Jimmy White, Alex Higgins, and Ronnie O’Sullivan play pool and do extremely well in actual tournaments. Efren never stepped to the snooker table in an actual event. Fact vs fiction.
@@teamsilva7563nah, achievements your dudes got were all from a snooker table. But no doubt Reyes is the G.O.A.T and no one could ever surpass all his accomplishments. Stop crying butthurt jerk..
I don’t understand why people can’t realise the billiard is no where near difficult as snooker , the billiard table is too small and the pockets are twice bigger, sometimes can pot the ball with closed eyes but snooker table is not a joke . Erfen can never play snooker and pot a ball forget about getting 147.
It would be interesting to see what Efren could do on a snooker table. In this instance, there is no shame whatsoever in Steve coming off second best. 🇦🇺
I agree with you about how Efren would be at playing snooker l would imagine that he would be able to play with the best of the best players and be more amazing than most other players but that’s just my personal opinion
@@darkcircle899 That's a big assumption. Pool and snooker are less similar than you might think - the table is more than twice the size, the balls are larger and the pockets narrower and shaped so that they are unforgiving. Just because snooker players can do pretty well at pool does not mean that the reverse is true - have you ever wondered why they never attempt it in public.
@@qman2261 I know the differences between pool and snooker. Someone who has learned to be accurate with a sick and billiard ball can apply that to any billiard game. Yes Snooker would be different and require a little adjusting but let's not act like it's something entirely foreign to a pool player. Once they learn the rules getting the rest will just be up to practice which will go much faster because they are already good at a very similar game.
@@qman2261well actually Jim Rempe did. He practice and competed enough to earn a place in major snooker events. Placed in the top one hundred. Has many recorded centuries. He competed in the world championship and was beaten by Steven hendry 12-5. O’Sullivan is also quoted in saying Efren was one of the only players to out hustle him on a snooker table. Snooker is much more difficult than 9ball sure. But there are more difficult games than 9ball and not all table conditions are easy in pool. 9 and 10 foot tables with tight pockets. Snooker isn’t some unattainable skill for pool players. It’s just found or played here.
@@legendefrenreyes thank you Steve did beat him once from 8-3 down that is rarely shown, but they are different games Jimmy and Ronnie where the most natural snooker players I’ve ever seen, Steve was a mechanical machine, but Efren was the best pool player of all time and the most entertaining, the Z shot proved it
@@TwistedSoul2002 sure did he was mechanical but single minded to try a different sport, other then Efrens Z shot I think one of Jimmys against Efren was one of the greatest shots in pool. And his blue ball in the mosconie cup
It’s not excuses. He was invited to play as a guest as a semi retired snooker player. I would like to see some pool players try snooker, oh, none have ever tried. But Europe has one the Mosconi cup using snooker players 🤔
pool players wouldn't be able to hack it at snooker. the table is huge, the pockets tiny, balls different size. the precision and accuracy of snooker is of a different level to pool.
The title is rubbish , let me see the great Efren to play one snooker table with the weakest snooker play in the world, 6 metre length of table and small pockets not big holes like river in the pool table !!!!
It's safe to say that top snooker players are better at pool than top pool players are at snooker. If for no other reason than that anywhere you find a snooker table, they usually also have pool tables. But the reverse is not true, cus snooker tables are CRAZY big and CRAZY expensive.
Davis would not show such disrespect. Also, Reyes would seriously struggle on a 12 foot snooker table with MUCH smaller pockets. Let's just say that these are two different games and Davis is just as much of a legend (in a notionally more difficult game). Enjoy them both for their respective talents. Indeed applaud Davis for trying a game he has little experience with.
What Americns think is great and what the rest of the World think is great are two different things. I'd love to see Reyes on a snooker table. He'd get laughed at.
@@jaywp2343 The balls are smaller, the pockets are much smaller and the table is 12ft by 6ft or 72 square feet. A pool table is 8ft 4 by 4ft 2, which is less than half the playing area of a snooker table. So, no, it is not basically the same game with more balls.
All excuses.Steve Davis is an over hyped club level player in snooker ,in today's high standards,So is Hendry. Both wont stand a chance today! Efren will easily beat Davis at snooker 👍
@@legendefrenreyes Ask Efren to play snooker with the real GOATS in snooker Ronnie or Selby,and see how he fares. Best in pool,then yes,Not best in snooker..Far from it!

I like Efren but folk actually thinking he could beat Steve at snooker in his prime are absolutely off their heads. Steve actually won a later pool game against efren, thats actually quite embarrassing considering steve only really played pool for fun rather than a job.
I love all great players, and Efren is my all time favorite pool player... BUT.. Your title is misleading!! Both players respected each other, and Davis is the only player at that time who could beat Reyes fair and square. Didn't happen in this game but everybody agreed on this point. Davis's style was unpredictable to pool players, and his cue ball control made him deadly. Davis was very adaptable
I cannot imagine that Efren Reyes likes the way he and his opponents get portrayed in this cut and paste type of video's. Efren is an exceptional pool player and so are many others in history. Davis is a snooker player, show me some Efren games on the snooker table against snooker pro's. Only very few pool players dare to play against snooker pro's. Many Snooker players dare to play pool pro's.
To be fair to Steve I doubt he expected to dominate Efren, he will know full well that pool is a lot different to snooker and most people who play snooker tend to play a bit of a pool as well, so are well aware that sucess is not guaranteed.
As a fan of snooker apart from billiards during my teens I find Steve Davis an extremely nice guy, and vilifying or antagonizing him comes off as funny and rage baiting. Davis is not a bragger and is actually a humble guy.

That was.. frightening.. at least to me. Seems like Reyes was 'playing' with him. Giving him chances at the first few rounds to see his skills, and.. well he kinda ended it by huge margin because "I've seen enough". To put cherry on top, he humbled us all by saying "I got lucky"
Davies beat him when they played again
King alway king...
We always respect king like u mr efren B.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏
Ridiculous title. Where did Steve Davis say that?
He played on the same pool stage as Efren, whereas Efren wouldn't even get in the door of a snooker competition.
of a local under 14s tournament too
It's a efren fanboy channel. What do you expect
davis can only snooker at elite level and no other billiards discipline. efren can play several billiards disciplines at the elite level. he is far more talented than davis for that reason.
@@quickstep2408
That's wrong.
Davis won the pool trickshot world championship three times.
He even won against Reyes himself in 9 ball world championship 2000 where he reached the quarter finals.
I don't know, if Reyes played elite level snooker, but I couldn't find information for this.
And I think the difference between 8 ball 9 Ball and pool trickshots is less the difference between 9ball and snooker.
So I think being elite in snooker and 9ball is more difficult than being elite in different pool variations.
@@TheKickerfreakkami di berbagai belahan dunia tidak mengenal siapa devis. Kami mengenal efren, sebab cuman ditangan efren biliar itu seperti ada seninya.
Spectacular !
Many thanks!
Steve did extremely well against Efren. No disrespect but I doubt Efren could even have a 50 or more break in snooker.
In a 2019 tweet, seven time Snooker World Champion Ronnie O' Sullivan said that Reyes was "the only person to ever to [sic] out hustle me on a snooker table. (copied from Wikipedia) Sounds like disrespect to me.
@@dave5176😂😂😂...ok
@@dave5176 we got to actually watch Steve Davis, Jimmy White, Alex Higgins, and Ronnie O’Sullivan play pool and do extremely well in actual tournaments. Efren never stepped to the snooker table in an actual event. Fact vs fiction.
@@teamsilva7563nah, achievements your dudes got were all from a snooker table. But no doubt Reyes is the G.O.A.T and no one could ever surpass all his accomplishments. Stop crying butthurt jerk..

I don’t understand why people can’t realise the billiard is no where near difficult as snooker , the billiard table is too small and the pockets are twice bigger, sometimes can pot the ball with closed eyes but snooker table is not a joke . Erfen can never play snooker and pot a ball forget about getting 147.
I am a fan of reyes.
It would be interesting to see what Efren could do on a snooker table. In this instance, there is no shame whatsoever in Steve coming off second best. 🇦🇺
I agree with you about how Efren would be at playing snooker l would imagine that he would be able to play with the best of the best players and be more amazing than most other players but that’s just my personal opinion
@@dougmikels6504 Pool snooker are so similar if he had time to practice he would likely be among the best in the world at that as well.
@@darkcircle899 That's a big assumption. Pool and snooker are less similar than you might think - the table is more than twice the size, the balls are larger and the pockets narrower and shaped so that they are unforgiving. Just because snooker players can do pretty well at pool does not mean that the reverse is true - have you ever wondered why they never attempt it in public.
@@qman2261 I know the differences between pool and snooker. Someone who has learned to be accurate with a sick and billiard ball can apply that to any billiard game. Yes Snooker would be different and require a little adjusting but let's not act like it's something entirely foreign to a pool player. Once they learn the rules getting the rest will just be up to practice which will go much faster because they are already good at a very similar game.
@@qman2261well actually Jim Rempe did. He practice and competed enough to earn a place in major snooker events. Placed in the top one hundred. Has many recorded centuries. He competed in the world championship and was beaten by Steven hendry 12-5. O’Sullivan is also quoted in saying Efren was one of the only players to out hustle him on a snooker table. Snooker is much more difficult than 9ball sure. But there are more difficult games than 9ball and not all table conditions are easy in pool. 9 and 10 foot tables with tight pockets. Snooker isn’t some unattainable skill for pool players. It’s just found or played here.
Golden break on the hill. If that is not magic, then i don't know what is 🤯
Save the best for last!
What is a golden break?
@@qwertzui3653 When you sink the 9 on the break - meaning you win the game in the first shot.
I like stephen chow in playing pool😂😂
Ha! Lets see Efren take Steve on at snooker....
Nicly edited and we'll narrated. Good production brother, keep up the good work.
How's watching becsue of thumbnail without having insterst in snooker 😂
Watching this well produced video from New Mexico! Thank you, I'm subscribed now too❤
Steve will be the first to admit he is not a Pool player, they are 2 different sports, but he and Jimmy did put up good battles with the GOAT
Yes. They did. You are right.
@@legendefrenreyes thank you Steve did beat him once from 8-3 down that is rarely shown, but they are different games Jimmy and Ronnie where the most natural snooker players I’ve ever seen, Steve was a mechanical machine, but Efren was the best pool player of all time and the most entertaining, the Z shot proved it
@@paulgreen7588-2 down and came back to clinch it 8-9.
@@TwistedSoul2002 sure did he was mechanical but single minded to try a different sport, other then Efrens Z shot I think one of Jimmys against Efren was one of the greatest shots in pool. And his blue ball in the mosconie cup
The average person view all cue sports the same and have no idea what any of the differences are. It all pool to them.
Both Players are great..... Just one is a Pool and the is a Snook, so It is either Snookpool or PoolSnook.... Awesome game...from Nigeria
Woaaahhh
1:57 Elon MASK?
I love Efren from Nigeria
Having my met Davis a number of times this is click bait. He had respect for all of his opponents. He has a great sense of humour as well.
Efren is amazing I'm from South Africa, North West Klerksdorp❤
Ang ganda ng laro ni BATA galing!!!
Efrem is a excellent snooker in the world.
Steve Davies was well past his prime, he was big in the 80s. He also joined a different sport on invitation with minimal notice.
Excuses.
It’s not excuses. He was invited to play as a guest as a semi retired snooker player. I would like to see some pool players try snooker, oh, none have ever tried. But Europe has one the Mosconi cup using snooker players 🤔
@@havenhale7690 If you don't know anything. Please keep your comments to yourself, it makes you look stupid.
pool players wouldn't be able to hack it at snooker.
the table is huge, the pockets tiny, balls different size. the precision and accuracy of snooker is of a different level to pool.
@@redbumbabboon1 more excuses.
Great video
The title is rubbish , let me see the great Efren to play one snooker table with the weakest snooker play in the world, 6 metre length of table and small pockets not big holes like river in the pool table !!!!
It's safe to say that top snooker players are better at pool than top pool players are at snooker. If for no other reason than that anywhere you find a snooker table, they usually also have pool tables. But the reverse is not true, cus snooker tables are CRAZY big and CRAZY expensive.
Well it is simple. Davis can beat Reyes at playing pool, but Reyes will never be able to beat Davis at snooker.
But respect to both.
Really!
Davis would not show such disrespect. Also, Reyes would seriously struggle on a 12 foot snooker table with MUCH smaller pockets. Let's just say that these are two different games and Davis is just as much of a legend (in a notionally more difficult game). Enjoy them both for their respective talents. Indeed applaud Davis for trying a game he has little experience with.
Thanks for watching! You have a point!
We Are So Fortunate To Watch The GREAT & EXTRAORDINARY EFREN REYES...May Our GOD Bless Him FOREVER...!!!
Why does this man his eyes change at the 0:47 second to reptile eyes ? 🤔
Efren - "You play snooker, i play 8ball/9ball/10ball/3 cushion/1 pocket. We are not the same. You are all beneath me."
Snooker is the game ALL THE OTHERS ARE PLAY.
I bet you Davis made more money than Reyes. Lol
This is competition between two of the of the best players. You win some and you lose some. I just enjoyed watching the match. Thanks for posting.
What Americns think is great and what the rest of the World think is great are two different things. I'd love to see Reyes on a snooker table. He'd get laughed at.
Isn't it basically the same game but work more balls?
@@jaywp2343 The balls are smaller, the pockets are much smaller and the table is 12ft by 6ft or 72 square feet. A pool table is 8ft 4 by 4ft 2, which is less than half the playing area of a snooker table. So, no, it is not basically the same game with more balls.
@@jaywp2343 Exactly! Like a Fender Stratocaster is like a ukelele but with 2 more strings.
Reyes, the professional magician, excels in his morals before his unique skill. We follow him from Sudan.
Wow! Good to hear from there!
Davis was probably the best 9 ball snooker player ever.
Jimmy white wasn't too bad at it either.
Nonsense. You’ve obviously never seen Alex Higgins play pool.
Tony Knowles is the best snooker player to play this Mickey Mouse game
Ronnie O'Sullivan is the best snooker player. If he cant play 9 ball I would be shocked.
@@deltalima6703 You can see him play Strickland in the Mosconi cup, didn't even know the rules yet beat him.
This game does not have a half time break??
The greatest billiard player of all times.od bless him.
Not much of a pool fan but find this interesting. Hi from India.
Since 1997 Steve Davis has not won a ranking tournament. He simply passed his peak.
Thanks!
All excuses.Steve Davis is an over hyped club level player in snooker ,in today's high standards,So is Hendry. Both wont stand a chance today! Efren will easily beat Davis at snooker 👍
@@legendefrenreyes Ask Efren to play snooker with the real GOATS in snooker Ronnie or Selby,and see how he fares. Best in pool,then yes,Not best in snooker..Far from it!
@@legendefrenreyes

@@wayneanthonyholmes4437 No he wouldn't he would be battered by any tour player
One fantastic player and another a GOAT.
These disrespectful clickbait video titles are kinda cringe...
A legend from malaysia, we amaze with u efren reyesh !
I like Efren but folk actually thinking he could beat Steve at snooker in his prime are absolutely off their heads.
Steve actually won a later pool game against efren, thats actually quite embarrassing considering steve only really played pool for fun rather than a job.
super video! thanks from Canada!
Thanks for watching!
I love all great players, and Efren is my all time favorite pool player... BUT.. Your title is misleading!!
Both players respected each other, and Davis is the only player at that time who could beat Reyes fair and square. Didn't happen in this game but everybody agreed on this point. Davis's style was unpredictable to pool players, and his cue ball control made him deadly. Davis was very adaptable
What I want to know is how that little glass of water of Steve Davis never runs out, lol.
@@nathanielradtke7590 I changed it every ten minutes.
It's so interesting
I cannot imagine that Efren Reyes likes the way he and his opponents get portrayed in this cut and paste type of video's.
Efren is an exceptional pool player and so are many others in history. Davis is a snooker player, show me some Efren games on the snooker table against snooker pro's. Only very few pool players dare to play against snooker pro's. Many Snooker players dare to play pool pro's.
I love watching this, Efren and Davis. Titans of the game. Thank you for sharing.
To be fair to Steve I doubt he expected to dominate Efren, he will know full well that pool is a lot different to snooker and most people who
play snooker tend to play a bit of a pool as well, so are well aware that sucess is not guaranteed.
