The knowledge on the commentary is very nice with the complexities of a game like this
Bank pool, Thorpe, Reyes, and The Freezer announcing. What more can you ask for in one video?
I'm infatuated fr real.. But always thought you pot one to nine it seems like you have to bank every shot pot but no clue it was like this just watctchin for the magician but bulky Thorpe is force of nature ❤
They are playing ‘short rack’ bank Pool. So they rack just like in 9ball but it’s a different game for sure. They could use any 9 balls but 1-9 is neater
Wow. Thanks for this video. Great commentary.
First time watching a bank game didnt even know it was a thing till now. Very long game. Great commentary.
Short Rack Banks has been around for loooong time. This match is from the Derby City Classic, which is started in 1999. But they were playing short rack banks long before that. In years before, the common banks game would be full-rack (15 balls). Billy has won the Derby City Banks title before. Efren’s best finish was runner up (twice).
😅
Efren knows and plays so many discipline of pool/billiards, it is amazing really
The freezer has spoken!😳
@@timothystys9938 so does the heater.
I'd still beat him
but he is afraid of snooker. wonder why? theres only one video of him playing snooker. he played terribly. terrible action
Because in the Philippines no one plays Snooker.
Good commentary Scott, I like a single person commentary. 👍
Commentary is absolutely exceptional!!
Mute modus
@bincancakir: totally agree!
God bless me with having to see this beautiful match while hearing Mr. Scott's great and ASMR-ish commentary. What a treat. 👏👏👏
Wow!! Amazing skills from a legend and a young gun who will hopefully go on to achieve a great long term career. Great commentary is a bonus!
Fascinating commentary by Mr Frost.
find the "BEST" 69 year old pool player anywhere and put them both in a game with Efren !
For all of u saying he is good commentator...nope!! He is so bias with that billy thorpe..everything he says on efren is negative..listen carefully...scott is bias AF!!..
Billy happens to be arguably the best banker in the world so Efern is the underdog here, no bias just facts
Maybe because Efren won numerous times vs the commentator.
Scott, are you just doing these commentaries for your channel or are these events you are hired to commentate? You are really good!
Efren is a Goat in Billiard Game but because of his age and bad shoulder, he has difficulty to play the game already. If he is still in his prime tgis game is easy win for him.
I’ve watched Efren play banks as much as anyone. He was never as good as Billy at short rack banks.
Efren accepted the loss like a man. And youre here commenting like a typical sore loser does. The world already knows Efren is the GOAT of pool. Why are you whining?
Bro, just admit that other people can be good at pool as well ☠️
@thatsnonsense2907thatsnonsense.
Bata didn’t even play in the US until he was in his 40’s. I imagine his prime started well before then and has lasted all the way until what, maybe 2-4 years ago or so. He’s admitted his vision isn’t the best anymore and he isn’t playing as much as he used to but I still see him playing in some large int’l events and playing in multiple games at events. Perhaps his Efran prime has passed and he’s now just playing at the level of other players primes hahaha.
Scott, your commentary is so natural and informative, it tells a live and flowing story during the game, I hope the people signing your checks realize that!
Of course we realize that, that's WHY we continue to sign his checks 😂😂
I always enjoy watching Efren play, and Billy is excellent at banking for sure.
After the first two racks, I thought it'd be a whitewash and then I remembered it was Efren.... And there was plenty of time bar left lol😊
What a time to be alive! Grateful for you all. cheers!
Frost doing commentary and playing in the background at same time haha
The Efren highlight clips have spoiled us !
Never seen him "miss" so many shots ...
He's got a bad shoulder which has affected him. Also, he IS 69.
Because it's not on prime anymore
@@gopcongressnice
Bank pool is a lot of defense as well
He is not in his prime already and with bad shoulder give him difficulty to play.
Reyes has unequivically the worst hair of all the players on the tour. Would someone buy him a brush or comb? That said, he's one of the best of all time.
Have you ever seen a GOAT that was well groomed
@@taikekawa6528 Seriously? They're naturally well groomed!
Rasis
It's sad to see effren getting old. He's the G.O.A.T. there's a big difference in how effren is playing since the last game I watched of him. He's definitely falling off😢. He's still great but not the magician he used to be. But he is old, he's got bad shoulders and I'm wondering if his vision is going.... Idk. But no matter what effren will be my favorite player in the history of pool. He's done so much for the sport as far as teaching pros and amateurs alike. Bless you effren. With that said never heard of Billy thorp but he's really good as far as banking goes never seen him play til this video
That's the best pool commentary I've heard! Also, not having seen this level bank pool, I had assumed a higher percentage of pots. So there's hope for the mediocre among us!
EFREN REYES IS THE LEGENDARY PLAYER IN THE WORLD ❤❤❤
Never knew bank pool was a thing. Fun to watch!
Scott, I am relatively new to the Derby, and I just have to say that I have watched alot of billiards, snooker and others. I am so impressed with your natural commentary, on the fly assessment, and 'accurate' judgement of the mindset of the players during the matches, Superb brother!
Agreed!!
Billy Thorpe is the real 🐐. He can outplay Efren in all Pool disciplines. even in a 3 cushion carom. Reyes sucks.
Billy Thorpe sucks
Efren Reyes the GOAT..
Grand Master of Billiards vs Bank Master.
if you baet efren i hate you. but well played efren got unlucky hahahaha
Notably easier now than say, 40 years ago, but yeah, I still root for the old guy. My favorite overall. So much enjoyment from watching him over the years, and this was no exception. He's still a serious threat to anyone, at any time, in any game, especially in one pocket, where his knowledge really compensates for his SLIGHTLY reduced ability due to aging. There, he is still a supreme threat, even for the tournament win. And I still see guys like, Scott, JJ, Varner, etc. awed at his not infrequent display of genius, even now.
Efren is my favorite player.
nah, Billy Thorpe is the real 🐐. He can outplay Efren in all Pool disciplines. even in a 3 cushion carom. Reyes sucks.
@@evanb.4308you need medical attention.
Thorpe has a lot more to prove himself, champ@@evanb.4308
@@evanb.4308who? billy thorpe who is that?
@@evanb.4308😂😂😂 you're a 🤡 brother.
GEEZ, how does anyone beat Thorpe when he's playing like that in those first two games? A pro master class, there. Billy's later four railer was a thing of beauty.
"He's body Englished that ball straight into the hole". How come that virtually never works for me, not in ANY sport? :-)
That two holding up on Efren in the corner, 4th game, really surprised me. They were playing tight for new cloth, that's for sure. Jaw those balls much at all and they just stand proud.
At 2-0 I said to my wife that even Efren was probably cooked, unless he really came alive and Billy went cold...should have known better. To the hill-hill point, anyway.
Thanks for the commentary, Scott, and yeah, Rail birds does a great job for a relatively shoestring operation, especially. I gave you the like, and I don't hand those out like candy. Fun match, including the safety work.
Lengthen with a high cue ball? Now that is NOT what I would expect. I would expect the opposite. I'm going to have to work that one out, from a physics standpoint.
Billy Thorpe is the real 🐐. He can outplay Efren in all Pool disciplines. even in a 3 cushion carom. Reyes sucks..
@evanb.4308 you are suck not reyes. Reyes is old compared to his opponent. But when reyes when his prime. This dude is piece of cake
@@crit-gaming644 and you're a piece of shit. better get a life butthurt kiddo
@@evanb.4308Dude! Have you not been around pool much? Nobody shares your opinion of The Magician! You might want to read up a bit on Efren before making a comment like that.
@@andycason1560 lol you know nothing about pool... During the early age of Efren and was playing on his prime, I just whooped his ass on all pool disciplines. I did not become popular as he is because I've chosen to pursue my career as a businessman. Not like you, just an avid fan of a sore loser Efren. Butthurt Andy 🖕
Hypnotizing commentary. 10/10
I’ve been trying for years to understand different pool games and this just confuses me even more. I don’t get it at all. Some of the shots they make seem to make no sense
I love to watch bank shot pool
Announcer says it looks so easy when they do it. What is he talking about. They are missing all over the place😂
I've never seen this format before. I used to play alot in my youth but this is neat. I figure it gets boring and easy being a pro, this being invented to challange good players. I put lots of hours in pool halls, i kiss it. Efren still playing is amazing, i remember him when he had dark hair
Great players, great shots, and great commentary. Thanks Scott.
What are they doing under the left side of the table when they swap turns??
I hate the commentary. Its too loud. Im sorry
Turn the volume down?
I did. And i cant hear the sound of the ball. Its less interesting.
@@ibrostopandas9502 There are other videos on the internet. This isn't the only one. I thought the commentary was just fine. Scott is originally from my part of the country and I thought he did a good job.
@@GT-1902 well opinion from people are vary, right?
@@ibrostopandas9502 Of course, but if you dislike something, you can simply choose to watch another video vs. giving negative feedback. I'm pretty sure they're not going to change the volume of the commentary, just to suit one person's complaint? Maybe they will?
The MASTER Efren Pata, a fan from AUK NZ.❤😊🎉.🎉..
I wish Efren would open a pool school to to pass his skill.
Efren your still the greatest player of all time in my opinion
What a treat
Tu et grand walhamdulillah wallahu akbar subhanallah que tu bonheur maruru i t atua terira ite to oe
Commentary is in "Poolese", undecipheral to a general population.
It’s strange on how he racked and broke... need to learn the rules to this style, I’m ready to play.
Another Classic event everlasting to year 5000 & beyond
This is for the elite players lol
Can you please get Scott or overdub the other commentary from the other pool matches? But seriously, he's exceptional for both perspective and lets the play be the focus instead of interrupting the experience. Best commentary and others should really pay attention to that nuance he has.
First to make 5 balls.. why😂 why not just pot all 9.. 😂
It's called short rack banks
Your lingo is to advance for me. How they hit it. FAT, TOUGH THE BALL, ELAVATE THE BALLS, STIFF IT ????
Scott, your commentary is great bro, thank you
Have to agree/ throw in my two cents’ worth: yes sir, your commentary is the best I’ve heard.
It sets a perfect tone; knowledgeable, laid back yet engaging and imbued with real appreciation for the game and players.👍🏻Thank you.
The number of times i said got dayum when billy made a ball... he is truly something else entirely
Thanks Scott, nice channel happy new year 2024
Efren is a wise man he knows the bigger price.
Mr. Efren looks like A master Billiards 🎱 Boss off a video game almost impossible to beat
Commentator sound like the guy in the US. MASTERS golf think jim nance is his name but not hundrd sure ❤
I’m just here cause Rogan said the dude Efren is the GOAT
Why are blocking the picture with your sd.?
Efren turned 69 in august 2023.
he completed his 69th year in August. You are not born 1 years old.
@@AmericanPieInThailand You need to rewire your brain bigtime! I said he turned 69 in August 2023. You said he completed his 69th year in August 2023 which would make him 70 right now going on 71 which is incorrect. He was born in 1954. You're reallly delusional. I don't know where you interpreted my comment as him being a year old at birth. You need a psychiatric examination. Are you schizophrenic or a narcissist?
That was a hell of a match
Thanks Scott great job.
Man oh man...I despise these pockets😣 ..but ALWAYS a treat to watch the 🐐 Reyes on a table☝😎👍
Amazing game 👏🏾
That Diamond table is lop side left corner pocket, cant even rack it properly.
What are you saying? Honestly don’t know
Top-notch commentary on a fabulous game per usual.
Yesss more bank pool videos plz
There will be more coming :)
@@RailbirdsTVBilly Thorpe is the real 🐐. He can outplay Efren in all Pool disciplines. even in a 3 cushion carom. Reyes sucks.
@@evanb.4308um no
Such a treat for all of us to have Scott commentating these great matches!
He has the perfect voice and demeanor AND knowledge of the rolls. It is not merely knowledge of the game, he has deep knowledge of the ball rolls too and elucidates it very well. Instead of a radio disc jokey or a play by play baseball announcer, he has a much more even tone. I can see the channel name and logo. Pool loving birds sitting on a perch, discussing the game. Almost any bird... just not a vulture.
He's also playing at the table next to them!

@@evanb.4308don't be talking rubbish efreyn beta Reyes is king
@@maryryan9464 a King? KingKong lol
Hows-come Scott Frost sounds more like Hugh Hewett, than Hugh Hewett?
Hell of a good match! As always The Freezer is great company for any occasion.
Good place for perishable food
Great commentator!
That Three ball bank to the side Mr. Thorpe did from just above the corner @ about 7:00 was sweet. I have a couple of those posted and off the end rail too.
you mean the 13 ball, @6:53?
Just like SVB if you don't like the commentary you can shut the sound off!
Nice To watch 👏👏🌷🙏
I don’t believe Mr. Thorpe have many friends, does he? He would’ve lost me as a friend on those first three balls on the first game! Screw that! I don’t need friends like him!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I dont understando
Billy Thorpe's tune *Children of the Sun* is so badass 😄
😂😂😂
The commentator said it best when he said, it’s exciting to watch Thorpe play bank pool, and it’s always exciting to watch efran play any kind of pool
great stuff
Efren Reyes best player ever he IS GOAT.
pretty much a known fact. Oh, why not say you are Filipino too, I'm guessing! lol
Scott frost should just go into radio with that voice
Billy Thorp is tough to beat. Grate players both.

Billy Thorp is not even half of what Efren is..who are you to disrespect a legend
@@menzieking9096 Not even close.. Reyes will never surpass Billy Thorpe's accomplishments in the world of pool.. Efren sucks. BT is the true legend of this sport. The one and only. The G.O.A.T - Billy Thorpe
@@evanb.4308yawn
You're a bonafied troll! Either that, or you don't know wth you speak of! Either way it's not good@@evanb.4308
Bakit ganuon nasa public sila nag lalaro nde katulad ng ibang laro na private at walang kasama habang nag lalaro? O baka iba - iba lang talaga ang bawa't palaro?
Thorpe is not 'pure' if you miss by 1 1/2 diamonds 😅
Wow! Great game.
What is this guy smoking while Billy Thorpe is a great player he is FAR from a legend 😂🤣
In game 3, @ 36:15, why does Billy give Efren the ball he made?
I just seen where they counted it for Billy but Scott said he gave it to efren...
I feel like I am either really good at bamking or these to don't want to claim it.
Get into the tourney Big Man
Great game. I didn't know even there was such a game.Awsome for both players.
Do we really need to watch the players Rack the balls? Some editing for time seems to be in order!
Efren would annilate Thorpe in his younger years. Age has caught up to the magician. Great match. And Thorpe is probably the best banker in the world right now.
sponsord by ..its all about money
4:00 plus nothing but talking, please stop for a few minutes. It is annoying as a big dog.
My favorite game is bank shot only. The rules are bank shot the ball you hitting or the cue ball must hit 2 rails. And call your shot. This will make you a better player
Ya Efren is getting old but in the end this game is harder that most games you can see that even in this game the pros miss shots
Adding hitting one ball on to another to pot it would speed up games and make it more interesting, maybe. Thoughts….
This game exposed these guys as just good players and not the wizards you guys promote so much as being the greatest players ever. At 15 I was not only banking shots regularly like these but I was calling my next 3 shots or calling it game.
If you understood the game you wouldn't make a comment like this
You are trash.
I own a Diamond Professional table, and suck as a pool player, but LOVE playing banks by myself. Billy is awesome!!
Diamond tables are the most unpredictable I've ever played. 1 rail always plays differently than the others.
i ha e never seen this tipe of pool play can someone please explain
I found it very difficult to listen to the commentary on this video.
