Trying to shoot like the great Efren Reyes | Your Average Pool Player

- How many tries does it take an average player to do what professional pool players do on the first try? Your Average Pool Player tries to recreate Efren Reyes' insane 10-ball shot.
After a number of unsuccessful attempts, Rollie slowly learns about spin transfer between the cue ball and the object ball. Efren Reyes' knowledge of the game is incredibly deep, but Your Average Pool Player? Not so much.
Thanks so much for your comments, let us know if there's a particularly hard shot you'd like us to try.
The track used in the video is 'Rest' by Otis McDonald: • Rest - Otis McDonald |...

People can actually do this with proper training and knowledge about the angles and cues but the thing is, Efren made this shot during a game with the last ball at the stake! That's just absolutely incredible!
It looks to me "OH THAT"S EASY" , came to the table, pocket 10 ball 20 times in the corner, draw cue balls 10 times and I realized... It's Efren, he is magician , give up dude
Srdjan Luzajic part of the problem is pool pockets are like magnets. It’s hard to miss a ball in pool. On a snooker table it’s hard to make a ball. Pool is a nice intro, then you move to snooker when you’re ready to graduate.
oh come on here we go again with the snooker is better than pool bullshit argument. only fucking kids do that. fucking bullshit.
a couple examples of the kind of positional play that snooker players utilize out of necessity. Note that they are doing this because they need to in order to keep the break going. This shot from reyes, while impressive, is entirely unnecessary, just manufactured for fun. Would love to see an amateur try some of these. th-cam.com/video/pCylqbuL078/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/5ox5Ckzq8Gk/w-d-xo.html
haven't seen a 500000 dollar snooker betting game 1v1 televised. :/ you're not considering other factors dude. stop comparing, those two are totally different... what the fuck? like? badminton is harder than table tennis? swimming faster is harder than diving beautifully? what else? checkers is harder than chess? oh yeah absolutely... pfft... i bet you haven't played any of those two cue sport in a tournament.. nonetheless don't compare apples to oranges kid..
Beyond not sure what the betting has to do with anything. Snooker is bet on heavily, though always in pounds so maybe that’s the issue for you, though not really relevant here. But yes, there are clear distinctions. Badminton requires similar skill levels but more fitness, so harder. Swimming similarly requires skill plus fitness, diving primarily skill. Chess is absolutely harder than checkers, no one would argue that, it’s far more complex. The gap between snooker and pool is smaller than those but it’s there. Larger table, smaller rounded pockets, and rules that require more elaborate planning and precise ball control. Cheers mate
Please do an interview with efren reyes
But Grandfather Efran can't speak english
@@himalmagar8222 he can speak some english but it's almost not understandable :3
@@himalmagar8222 hello? Interpreter???
Im sure he would if he could
@@himalmagar8222 does it matter if he can or not? Hire interpreter or use translator. If you really want something, you do it with no excuses.
I did it 5times perfectly in ny dreams last night.!
hahahaha lmao this comment made my day!
Nice one HIT MAN😂😂😂
I think those 273 dislikes are from those people who tried to play this shot and failed. 😂
Edit : Almost 1 thousand failures 😂
Kamal Shukla Lol!
Joy Villa & still counting 😆
Haha
Yeah. I got frustrated so I hit the dislike button..
752 and counting
In the original clip you hear Reyes say, "side", then a guy in the audience says, "what!?".
th-cam.com/video/hEBxVcRnTJY/w-d-xo.html
They literally think that he's joking or some kind of bluff
Awesome
tbh that's pretty much what everybody would say at that point

That Efren shot is one of the best I've ever seen....it's right up there with his 2 rail kick against Earl back in the day...
There is a legend in our town at Taytay Rizal Philiphines in the mid 70's witnessed by my uncle who is now 68 years old about a crazy money game about the best pool player in the north province named Efren Reyes and the beast of the east province of laguna.. Backed up by the politicians from both sides! they are so far apart so they must meet halfway in our town.. With a bad table with so many damages! it was the night in the month of july.. the funny thing is there was previously a storm that just passed and flood was evrywhere so they play with above knee water! Efren gave his opponent a handicap of 27 in the game of rotation! (27 for his opponent and efren must make 93 to win) that is why many politicians from laguna bet on their guy! bec he is the best from laguna! they play for 7 racks and final score is 6 to 1 efren! he only win because efren did not make a ball on the break!! since there was so many money to bet they agree to play again! this time his opponent must make 45 and efren needs 75 to win! but the condition is the last ball efren will make must be on the side pocket!! final score? 5 to 0 efren! That is how good Efren is at only 18 or 19 years old during this time! Every time my uncle tells us this story it always tickels me and wish that i hope I have witnessed that legendary man! this shot shows how he can manipulate balls and shoot in the side that we dont know it ls even possible!! hope there was cctv during those days!!! THE LEGEND!!
The magician knows all the angles of the table
Aljune Anthony Gimang not as well as me.
Cause he grew up playing 3 cussion pool and mastered it untill pocket pool took the scene and take over..
His extensive knowledge on 3 cussion gave him unfathomable knowledge on every angles of the table..
@@transport3469 don't shit yourself, you're too big of a turd.
He really does! Bank shots, zig zag or what ever, he makes it all look so easy. 👍
So,,Why the magician David Blaine doesn't know all the angles of the table?🤣🤣🤣🤣
Goes to show how clever Reyes has always been. His knowledge of spins and cue ball control is unfathomable
keep it up. dig this concept. all hail the magician!
D003Y LOOPS
+1
pretty cool idea!
keep it up man!
Diddo!
It's great to see your attempts of these great players shots, and how your not too proud to show viewers all your efforts/failures good and bad, etc because it's real..Add to the mix a little humour & booom you got a very enjoyable /entertaining /educational videos. Love this concept. More of these please
Must say, I'm not even remotely interested in pool and I'm gonna binge this whole series. Great content
Efren's pool skills are god tier
It's jsut simply amazing that Efren did that in a real tournament. While you tried to do that on practice and even take you too many attempts. Magician is really unbelievable.
So it proves how difficult to do what magic efrens did.
Pool is the Philippines' national sport and Efren has been a pool hall rat since he was 5 years old. He 'sees' shots no other player can see. Combine that with his phenomenal shot making ability, and you have the greatest pool player ever. Love watching him; and watching the greatest snooker player ever, Ronnie O'Sullivan.
No our national sport is sepak takraw which no one actually played!!
No it's our national pastime sport. Just like baseball to America...
@@atty.larrygadon2335 No it's actually Arnis now
@@atty.larrygadon2335 philippinenationalsport.blogspot.com/2014/02/arnis-our-national-sport.html?m=1
It's been changed sinced 2009
I thought karaoke was their national sport
If you watch the original video, Efren was already smiling after hitting the ball before the 9 ball. He probably saw that shot 2 balls ahead.
I love efrens smile when he pocketed the 10 ball. You should also imitate his reaction 🤣
great content, would highly recommend making this a weekly series
also would recommend moving "Trying to shoot like Effren Reyes" to the front of the title and "your average pool player" to the back in order to get them views
He changed it
I have a hunch that Efren can control TIME.... stop, rewind, and change the outcomes.
Peter Wu magician that controls Time? Wow lol
and ultra instinct hahaha
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
He saw it about 14 million times and only one misses
That could possibly mean that he sucks at pool, right? xD
This is a great idea! Pls. do some more. My suggestion to you is to try to do the shot Efren made in his race to 60 match vs Fong Pang Chao where he made the cueball hit the tip of the side pocket so it crawls down the side rail to make the 1 ball in the corner.
samuel penalosa then the video is gonna be around 2 hours long....chill..
It would be the hardest shot to copy..
I've tried that shot and it's not as hard as it seems jus use a tad bit of right top.
AM STILL WAITING THAT REQUEST. THAT WAS A FENIMENAL SHOT TILL NOW NOBODY DOES IT
Here: th-cam.com/video/2jr_-KBtCJI/w-d-xo.html
Dude this series will be lit.. Keep it up. Very informative, analytical and Inspiring.😊
I'm a below average player. Would probably take me 2,000 tries
Need more of this!
Imagine doing that in a live tournament is simply amazing
I love this series.
More of that concept would be nice. Really informative, too!
This is the 2nd time i watch your videos. I saw you complete the Efren Shot Challange in 7th shot both videos
Happy I stumbled on your videos a couple days ago. Really fun concept and they're well done.
PLEASE MORE OF THIS SERIES!!!
Wow its seems very easy to him, the fact that hes playing live tournament... Very entertaining..
Filipinos here??? I am from PHILIPPINES Mabuhay!
Just hold my beer.....
lol i cant forget that video!
Reyes do this. He watched some players in public mall playing pool, the referee realize he is reyes so he gives reyes stick. Reyes tell "mo pocket" and both of them laughing. So reyes take that stick and let referee hold his coffee and do amazing shot to put 8 ball in
Would love to see a series like this
Man in the first shot, the corner pocket was the sure ball but he had to call the side. Legend.
My buddies and I were trying this shot after seeing it on TH-cam. That’s what lead me to this channel
Had similar results to this dude
He’s trying so hard to hide his pro talent. You are great man.
*Imagine calling "side pocket!" as your friends listen in shock, and then sinking the object ball into that pocket*
Efren is not Magician. He is Sorcerer Supreme.
and also mathematician
@@rajoneduardo6828 is he, I mean for real ?
sorcerer supreme sounds like a taco
sounds like an ice cream hahaha
Efren reyes skill is 2nd to none and one of the greatest pool player of all time
Make more videos like this Sir. All Efren shots
Nakakataba ng puso na kilala at idolo rin ng mga banyaga ang ating magikero pagdating sa bilyar,Iba talaga ang mga player noong 80's or 90's pacquiao and reyes
Create more of this man. Its entertaining! good job.
We need more of this man
Great idea to try duplicating the shots we see the pros doing. I'm inspired!
Great idea and very well put together - hope to see more!
This was an amazing video.
The concept is so innovative.
You should try more shots, and perhaps try some Alex Huggins unorthodox snooker shots as well.
I would love to see longer videos as well. Perhaps 3 or 4 shots per video. All in all, good stuff mate. You earned a new subscriber!
First time viewer here. Is this a series? I hope iy is. Nice video
Really great. Thanks.
Would love to see more of these. Good concept!
love this concept for a series, keep it up!
Imagine doing that in a competition. First, you need to be perfect on placing the cue ball on the target or else you will fail. Efren is the best when it comes to precision. Legend
Make more video of Efren hardest shot..love it!
3 attempts before you knew you needed some English to make the shot. Comedy gold!
This series is great!
Wow, you got it, pretty soon you're not an average player anymore. Make more videos doing Reyes tricks. Thanks for sharing, thumbs up.
It’s crazy to me how this dudes the greatest pool player in history, easy, and he literally just looks like the most standard Latino or South American guy
I have a challenge for you. I once did this shot where the 6 ball was pushed up against the rail and the cue ball was straight across from it pushed up on the other rail. I hit the cue ball into the six ball and the next thing that happened will surprise you. The six ball flew in the air back towards where the cue ball just was. It landed perfectly on the rail. Everyone thought it would roll off the edge, but it didn’t. Instead, it rolled along the rail and potted into the center pocket. Everyone was shocked and overjoyed. Because the 8 ball was sitting next to a corner pocket, I ended up winning the game on my next shot. My challenge to you is to recreate this shot. Thank you for reading this. 👍🏻
Saludos desde puerto rico ,buen vídeo . Bata es el mejor, sigue haciendo videos de esta clase 👍
Hmm thought I liked shooting and archery vids... Forgot billiards are like 10x more finesse. Need to get back playing billards.
Great vid!
Thanks 👍
This is a really great way to learn and teach at the same time !!
These are good. Keep making them.
Appreciate you sir. How you appreciated efren bata reyes. Salamat tol!(thanks brother)

Great idea for a series of videos.
Good content, looking forward to future videos
Very nicely presented - thanks!!
Great work! I’ll definitely try this shot next time a pool table is nearby! Cheers!
This is great! Make more! (btw, just switched from a sniper to a kamui clear black soft and I LOVE IT!!).
your 1st attempt you double hit the cue ball!! good videos, keep it up
HUMBLE PLAYERS LEARN GREAT THINGS! GREAT DEMO OF THAT PARTICULAR SHOT!!!
Love your videos!
That's badass bro. Awesome way to learn stuff,i do sorta the same,but never thought taking out my phone to look at the shot again. Normally I'm home I look then I go to table. Good on ya. Great vid.
Love these vids keep em coming
Epic! Can't wait to try that one out!
Thanks for the video! I learned something new today...
Fantastic idea you've got going here. Keep it up. We're all excited.
I really like the tables in that pool hall. I would totally buy a retired one to replace the "bar" 4 x 6 in my basement.
Super idea to explore, recreating great shots. Great.
Great video bro, post more attempts at crazy shots and I'll stay subscribed. Subbing right now.
I thought stop shots were easy. I was living in fantasy until you made this video.
Well done! Im going to try this one.
Please do more video its really interesting
cool! - I'll be trying this shot on my pool table tomorrow morning, great idea for a video series
Great concept for a video series, Subscribed.
Class vid, bring us more
Great videos!!!
I tried the same things with this exact shot. Cool video. Thanks.
Hello, If you search (Efren "Bata" Reyes 2018 super shot compilation ) you will see an awesome bank shot on a 10 ball. You will see it as the last shot in the video. I've tried it without much luck. How about you show us how it's done. Great videos by the way.
Change the channel name to PRO vs AVG ,& keep uploading this series,I love it
What a great channel idea, I've never seen that shot, I might have to try it out. BTW I subbed
When you are too good at a game and you need a challenge.
Efren is the most brilliant rail player period!! you cant rarely see this guy do any jump shot as other players do during these days.
Efren did this in tournament 💪
And Efren did it, when he needs it.
