It's always something special to watch an exceptional talent like Efren perform. Especially at that age. I had the priviledge to meet him briefly in Germany. He is not only the GOAT in pool billiards but also a very humble and likeable human being. Thank you for sharing and commenting!
efren is no joke...he can take down anybody despite his age 69 yrs old....a MASTER is always a MASTER....period....
Put some respect, Efron is 60+! Rack for him!
69
My up tje street best buddy had a pool table.
We would have available 10 sick days in highschool. We took of each Monday, go to the new bowlimg alley to play pool. We played teams aganst the older local players. I had a knack for the game, and we would stomp the other pair. The looser pays, so we played all morning winning. It was so fun!
I miss thoughs days back in the late 1970's
. We should went for so pro game. Just "fun"..!!
No love for the shot at 46:50? Efren studies it for a bit... then makes not one ball, but two... while breaking up a cluster... and getting shape. Just another day at the office, I guess!
Yes! That's my idol, Efren Reyes, the magician. Gotta love the guy ❤❤❤
Gk ada lawan memang luar biasa Efren umur BKN halangan mata jg BKN halangan good job Efren Reyes mau muda tua mainnya sama seperti 40thn yg lalu
What you're saying about the two being at the bottom of the rack and thus being so difficult to get position on it, doesn't that make it better to put it at the bottom, than to move it around in the rack formation?
It seems to me, the way they are racking the balls, these racks are very loose. That in itself causes problems.
Why don't they use the 9 ball diamond to solidify the rack?
The GOAT
I could argue with Mark and Scott all day....alternate break??? really??? Efrens shoulder??? Really??? I still love listening to the commentary though...I keep up with Efren in the betting rooms in the Philippines, he's a threat to whoever challenges. He can't be counted out... ever
Scott or Mark, has Efren ever competed in Snooker ?
He did compete in snooker matches bc his country said so , and he won the match against young ronnie in 1991 they played a money game and Efren won all four - six games ( frames ) even ronnie said it in his twitter
Yes sir. He did in the Southeast Asian Games upon the request of the Philippines Government although he rarely plays this game. He also played Ronnie S. Here's the link en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efren_Reyes#:~:text=Efren%20Manalang%20Reyes%20OLD%20PLH,the%20challenging%20one%2Dpocket%20discipline.
Yes he does ...way back when nobody is playing snooker in the Philippines....he represented the country in a tournament.....that's long time ago....
In a 2019 tweet, seven time Snooker World Champion Ronnie O' Sullivan said that Reyes was "the only person to ever out hustle me on a snooker table"
I disagree with the break. This game was at it's peak when players broke the balls. Took 90% of the excitement out of the game. They would never make a Movie of this game the way its played today. And why are the new players using these black shaft cues? When have you ever saw Efren use one!
Efren Reyes cheated!!!!
The goat cheated in this match and I'm disgusted watching this. If anyone else noticed it. I'm in absolute shock that he would do something like this and I'll never look at him the same way. I've always thought he had integrity and in heartbroken.
Truly the GOAT, at 69yrs old with a bad shoulder can still beat USA Mosconi Cup members! Or the other way to look at it, no wonder USA got trashed in the Mosconi 2023 cuz 2 of their members still can get beat by a 69 yr old with a bad shoulder! 😄
efren cant retire. he might not be 100% but he still performs better than 99% of the world
The only thing that's holding him back is his failing eyesight and shoulder problems really.
At 69 that is amazing. Have been following him for 23 years. Master!!
Efren resembles one of those old Kung-Fu Masters from the movies of the 70's. Always respected and honored but also feared by all the discipels of his craft. He is indeed the Master and the GOAT of Pool.
@chrisvand2678,
Yes, Efren has grown into the appearance of a Kung-fu sifu and he is a sifu just a different sort of art. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁
Efren Reyes cheated!!!!!
Efren shooting a lot of strong shots towards the end.. love to see it
Efren is living proof that you don't need power to have a good break shot.
you do if theres a 3-point rule for the break
??? Efren's never been known for his break. He is known for his magic cue action though. Abra kadabra alacazam...At 70 he's still putting em away
Agree: I very much agree with “cathy”
Frost should only
commentate by himself! It seems like he loses all sense of the game.
Only one exception was when he paired with JJ on a one pocket match.But that was only once.
The best commentators do it alone.
Earl,JJ,Scott,Josh R.and Mark Wilson.
There are No others.
And all these guys should be alone.
A commentator should be someone you can learn from. If you don’t learn from them, you really would be better off to turn the sound off. Try it.
And then concentrate on the shots. You will be amazed at your
improvements.
adios
Stop saying it was an upset. if shane would have won that would be the upset I don’t know how he made the American team also he played dreadful and isn’t a high caliber player he’s mediocre.
Alternating breaks is stupid. It eliminates putting 2,3, or even 4 packs on your opponent. You should have the chance to keep your opponent in their seat if you happen to catch that gear. Just like in straight pool when you go on long runs.
Such a pleasure to see and know that an older man can hang on to his faculties as well as Efren has.
😅😅😅😅😊
@@Hank--Mardukas What is that supposed to mean?
I have most of my faculties and I'm eighty years old. Most people think I'm younger. Efren is only 69 here. I never see age as a barrier to playing good pool. Efren is proof.
You are right age does'nt matter as long as you can still play🎉
This is no mere man. This is Efren Reyes, the GOAT of pool.
Efren Reyes exhibits an exceptional level of skill. It's always a pleasure to watch him play. Thanks for show us his unbelievable talent! 👏👏👏 Greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
Dude, he's not 85! I'm sure 69 seems old to you but I've got friends on Harleys at 80 years old, one just turned 81. In other words, 69 does not mean you're in a nursing home yet!
Efren's Level of Knowledge about the game is absolute unbelievable. Unfortunately - due to his age - he is no longer as consistent as he was in his prime. Everyone is talking about his kicking skills and shots like the "Z"-Shot, but in my opinion his real strength also lies in this very unique "little" shots with the exact right amount of spin and tempo that nobody on earth can play like him. A lot of the viewers don't even realize the uniqueness of these shots because you need some own experience to detect the difference. By watching him in this way, you can learn more than in any other way. Thank you, Efren! I hope I get to see many more of your games.
❤
Yeah. That shot that he played, think it was the 6. The stun he used to get in between the 8 and 9 with middle stun. Not a lot of players think like that. Let alone can execute it.
just to add, he's shot selection is not typical or straight forward. but when he makes the shot it will all makes sense, opens up the table or make it a lot easier.
Still cant beat Efren at 70, Everybody shits down both legs against him, Shane missed 4 ball 1st game, Looked like a weak league player when he missed the 6 straight in game 2
Shane should learn to check the rack when efren is racking the balls.
Efren Bata Reyes is the greatest because the balls obey him.❤😊
Shane can't beat a 70yr old efren.... He shouldn't be in mosconi
Mean as.....still showing um at his age, the master and his apprentice
Winner should break under the condition his or her final shape off the 9 ball leaves the cue ball in the break box. Otherwise, the other player gains the break.
haha that's funny. A lot of times when playing 9 ball, when I shoot the 9 I would try to put the cue ball back in the break position, just for fun. I like making it a rule!
This new yong guys have the opportunity to play with Reyes , which is an honor , plus learning in person why they call magic man , 69 wow still unbelievable. You're the greatest Reyes.
Please give Efren more respect, after all he is the G.O.A.T...Regardless of age.
I would say the same thing about Reyes that Rempe did about Strickland "if I'm up 8-2 in a race to 9 and he has ball in hand ... I don't like my chances"
This a match when a master teaches a prodigy! A Very good game for Efren at 69 years of age…. and coupled with a very good commentators…. keep it up Efren… rooting for you as always…. make another milestone in your career when you win this edition of Derby Classic at 69… 💪🙏🤞👍
Go go idol Efren to be strong ❤️❤️❤️❤️ god 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 bless you always
Age is only a number 💪
Let’s hope Shane gets some practice in before the mosconi.
The GOAT👌🏼
Mark "Gabby" White's ok, during the Puerto Rico games, yet I think Scott all by himself is best.
Never, NEVER, count out the G.O.A.T.
Felt Like Shane Beat Himself at Times during the Match. Mr. Reyes is Always in the Game because of His Knowledge and Skill.
Efren,still our billiards champs...Mabuhay ang Pinoy..
Great job guy’s Frost always have me FROZEN 🥶 HAPPY TO BE FROZEN 🥶 WITH NO FROST BITES
Actually, Efren and I were both 68 at the time that this tournament was played. It's always in January and our birthdays are in mid-august and late August. He's 10 days younger than I am.
Efren sharking with the 2 ball on every break. 😂
Nobody will tell him anything since there's no refs. GOAT benefits.
The Amazing Magician Efren Bata Reyes…a legend & a Filipino 🤩 age is just a number wow 🤩
I like billiards, what do you think about my DIY billiard table?
at 30:55 Scott frost mentions that they are using more stun/draw/outside english nowadays to avoid skids? is this a true fact? i thought that "skids" or "kicks" were just a factor in the cleanliness of the the two balls at the contact point.
This is always an interesting subject when discussed as there are so many different opinions on what a skid is and what causes them
Bravo and great performance Efren(Bata) Reyes 🎉🎉🎉 you did it well 🎉
What a freaking legend, his stroke is so distinct, creates an impression that balls are moving in a slow motion
It is an honor, I think to be a ble to play with Efren Reyes being a Master of Masters . AURAPHIL thanks for sharing. GOD bless!
Commentator starts with young blood “has legitimate chance”. Must be bias on Efren’s age. 😅
Its nice to see Efren play again!
Awesome commentary by both Mark and Scott🎉
Old is gold … 😂
i see on rack4 the commentator talking about that 2 ball again. i dont know what to think. i think he is confused.
It is stated in the rule at Derby City, and was also mentioned at the players meeting. But a lot of players don't read the rules, and don't show up for the players meetings. A lot of players either don't know about the rule, or don't care. Occasionally you'll see someone point it out to their opponent when they rack it like that, but most of the time they just let it go, and don't care.
I will.always be the avid fan of yours idol Efren ! Hurray!Hurray!Hurray!
Scott Frost, you are an old fool to think that Master Efren Reyes has lost his touch at aged 69? Efren Reyes is the best pool player the world had ever seen, period.
It’s funny; I’ve been watching Efren for so long now, I almost always root for the opponent. You go, Bata!!! Still the GOAT.
Efren is always a pleasure to watch .
Really nice game........Happy to see Reyes playing always....And thank you both players for a great game
Great commenting duo! Please do more in the future
Thanks for the narrative. Scott Frost could do ASMR videos. Is this tournament using smaller pockets? I think it changes the game and not for the better as these players have taken tens of thousands of shots with different size pockets.
Where did this match happe
world record 69 yrs. Old beat young guns..
It's confusing if the rules say you can't rack the 2 in the back of the rack why is everybody racking the 2 in the back of the rack don't that change the whole dynamic of the break and therefore the dynamic of the game or am I missing something?
the man was explaining the rack and said that the 2 ball was NOT to be placed at the back of the rack.but that is where Efren put the 2 ball,
Playing against Efren at the age of 69 can be bad news whether you beat him or not, because if you beat him it's because his old and past his prime, it's even worse if he beats because that means you can't even beat the old efren
To what The Freeze just said, in a way, the leave doesn’t matter if you don’t pot the object.
Amazing efren
We're completely outnumbered with regards to the Mosconi Cup. IMO, it should be based on citizenship.
A pleasure watching reyes Play
All time great takes care of business 😊
👍😘 N I C E ❤️👏
What's the difference between a push out ball and a snooker..are they the same..curious and following from New Zealand..Hello world😂😂..
A push out is played when there is no clear shot on the lowest ball on the table. A snooker is what results after a shot on a ball, but after the break there may not be a shot on the lowest ball so you have the right to move the cue ball and it's called a push out.
Efren is my favorite player though.
I think 3 more years He will Retired 😊
I don't count him out on playing anyone they dont call him the master for nothing
I want to see this…. See what we can expect from Shane Wolford when he is at the Mosconi Cup representing team USA.
Another loss, Shane is all we have, Bergman won't leave St Louis
Strickland
@@billysikes1374I’ve heard that about Bergman, too. That sucks because we could use him.
@@djamo1969 he's totally happy just making money there
More misses like you saw here.
What's the problem about putting the two on the back?
The "man" doesn't matter. There is no "bear down"... just do what you do
When you consider that Efren has eye problems, it is remarkable that Efren, at 69, can still play so well.
A great match and nice commentation. Thanks guys.
If Efren's break was working this match be over
Efren reyes bata the magician!!! Nothing more to prove !!! Congratulations, exceptional player of all time ❤
Can someone tell me when is his next match and where can I watch it ?
there's three minuets left in the video the party's over lol.
Martinez Daniel Williams Daniel Walker Patricia
Efren missed a easy shot but despite of his age he is a big obstacle to those want to be a winner 😢
I thought efren Reyes are already die
It looked like Efren enlarged the break box a little, lol
TUNAY MA WALANG MAKAKATALO KAY EFREN BATA REYES, CONGRATULATIONS KABAYAN, ❤❤❤
LOSER BREAKS should be the RULE for all match games. Would make every match way more competitive, and eliminates those ludicrous situations where a great player loses a match helplessly watching as their opponent breaks and runs out.
It's not fair.What if the loser breaks and cleans the table till the end to win the match?
Congrats idol Efren "Bata" Reyes the pride of Philippines..👏🏻🥰🥰🥰
May team pride na naman dito??!?!?
EFREN REYES STILL 💯 PERCENT, KING OF BILLIARDS TABLE
My idol keep safe "the magician"
I love the sport but I gotta say I thought that was Shane Gillis
Our Great man, call The Goat
God bless PHILIPPINES
The TRUE GOAT of the GAME
The Greatest of all time efren Bata reyes.
