I play both games, snooker and pool, although I do prefer pool. Reyes is my god in terms of 9ball and pool table games overall.. But I assure you, if Reyes put some effort in snooker training he would go as far as Selby for example. I have much respect for the game of snooker. These games are different. But they have one thing similar. You shoot the balls with the cue on a table. So plase snooker players, have respect for pool players and vice versa. End.
@larwhelan I would not be so sure like you.... Reyes is an amazing player and they say once he won an asian snooker tournament.... they say also once he defeated Ronnie O'Sullivan in a snooker money match.....
@ValerioPlayLife "they" say a lot, if not a whitewash i'm sure it wouldn't be a close match on a snooker table the pockets are tight the table is big its a much more difficult game
LOL there sure are a lot of snooker fans that are mad at pool. Can't really blame them, pool is more popular worldwide as oppose to snooker, which is suffice to say virtually non-existent. Rant all you want about how snooker is better than pool. Nobody cares, only stupid idiots like yourselves.
You know all I ever see are people saying things like " the pockets are so big". Let's clear this up for whoever reads this comment. Snooker table pockets are smaller but then so are the balls you play with. The only real difference is the size difference of the tables, which doesn't affect ball pocketing for any decent cueist. Discussion ended.
@chevykicksass505 ridiculous comment, guessin you don't play a lot of snooker? on those pool tables you can near hit a ball halfway up the rail and it could still slide in.....try doin that on a snooker table
@chevykicksass505 geeee thanxxx....you broke that down with such simplicities, and its that simple...i cant stand those snooker nuts, smaller pockets, and BALLS...good comment dude
i'm a snooker and 9 balls player , it is so difficult for the 9 ball player to play the snooker because the snooker table is bigger than the 9 ball table and the snooker measurement is more difficult but for the snooker player it is so easy to play 9 balls because the pockets and the balls r big and the table is small so it does not need very accurate shots
@mrspeechless100 are you sure?? so why there is no Snooker player winning the WPC? or even any of the big 9 ball tournaments like World Pool Masters, World Pool League, US open or any other 9 ball tourneys in US ??
That safety from Reyes was insane and the next shot from White was even more insane. In the mist of this insanity the arguably greatest 9 ball player ever, Reyes, pulls out another defeat on another superb player. Guess The Brits need a lil' more practice or a born genius in which we find in the pool Master Reyes.
snooker players will play pool(and i think they find it fun and they only play snooker becuz of the money) but i dont think pool players will play snooker i think theyll find it boring no offense this is a pool video wakokokokok :) i tried to watch snooker and guess what i almost slept for an entire week snooker videos are good in making people sleepy and they are all stiff lol
Never mind about commentator Sid he is made for Darts not pool and pool is good but i find Snooker more challanging and a better sport. Harder to play too
Efren is masterful playing "golf" on the 12 foot snooker table with extra tight pockets. He beats out serious snooker players gambling his own money. Bellflower Hardtimes California is his room of choice once he steps off the plane from Phillipines. I witness this feat several times every year.
Has Jimmy White played one pocket ball? Carramble? eight Ball? Straight 15 Balls? Efren had been a champion of all these. Snooker is too boring for an intellectual player, its not even bringing strategies compared to all these games I mentioned.... Jimmy White shot from here was pure luck, why? his white ball is not in a position for another shot, thats pure luck. But look at Efrens bank shot , it takes a genius to accomplish such....
@pandoyification ....so by your argument pool players can be rubbish and hit pure luck shots and still win games? Snooker is a far more technical game, but I do agree with you that pool can be pure luck as you said, and you can be rubbish and lucky and still win.Lol!! This would never happen in snooker, but if you like games of luck, fair play to you. Pool is a bit of a luck game anyway.
@coltsuperocean10 I would not be shocked that snooker players have low IQ, cause youu yourself had demonstrated it. Yo did not understood my statement and yet just plain ignorance in you projected your arrogant egoistic behaviour....hope sometime we can meet and play your game and my game so we may see and understand the difference....
@CrazyDuck1996 Balls numbered 1-9 are used. Players must shoot/make contact with the lowest numbered ball on the table first, failure to do so is a foul and ball-in-hand for the opponent. It is allowed for the opponent to shoot the lowest number ball on the table first and pocket another number ball. The 9 ball can be pocketed legally by the cueball first contacting the lowest numbered ball for an instant win.
@SirNoobs I thought also if u pot on the break and r snookered on the lowest numbered ball ur allowed not to shoot the lowest numbered ball and push out but ur opponent can put u back in if he doesn't like the position u leave him in? And also in 9 ball don't u have to pot or strike a cushion after the object ball for it to be a legal shot?
@Jimmynable Yes, if you're snookered on the first ball you can call "push out", your opponent can pass the shot back. And yes, unlike snooker and some rules of blackball, after contact, the cueball or balls have to hit a rail or else it's deemed a foul.
@zenitius great argument there....you've really shown me up. maths is short for mathematics and is an accepted shortened term for it. come back to me when you actually have something worthwhile to bring to this discussion.
@sr19 lol you started this, if you're going to shorten a word whats wrong with math? the fact is does it really matter i was just trying to point out the logic.
@widebody123 LOL White played consistently pool before playing in the wpc. And 9 ball is a game with a lot of luck and short races. 9 ball in this format doesn't prove a lot in term of skill. If White played Efren in 10 ball or rotation or even more one pocket, White would be murdered by Efren sorry. I really appreciate White in snooker tho.
@bigderekkeene Yes i don't deny White could create problems to Reyes at straight pool. But I really don't see White winning against Reyes at long races of 9 ball,10 ball, rotation and especially one pocket. The same is Reyes playing snooker, he can't beat White on a snooker table, with the difference White played pool and Reyes played snooker only once in a tournament, because as he said often he doesn't like snooker.
@widebody123 yah but efren also beat white in snooker for money game daryl peach will be the witness of that.efren is the fucking greatest player who ever hold a cue stick it doesnt matter if ts snooker cue or pool cue.
I just feel very easy playing pool after playing snooker. And if I go to a snooker table after playing pool, potting becomes hell. I think the wider pockets of a pool table make it easier to pot balls.
@sshakababy I think u mean u feel very easy potting..any pool player knows that playing snooker actually ruins u'r pool , it takes away the feel and control of the shot.
@sshakababy Potting balls is easier on a pool table. That's undeniable. But determining which game is harder is a completely different comparison. They are both incredibly difficult to get good at.
@coltsuperocean10 Yes. He won the gold medal at the Snooker event of the 1988 Southeast Asian Games. (I'm not sure about the year but I'm sure about the gold medal.)
@jayrecto Sorry where did you get this information from? I can't find anything of this description on his wiki. Apparently he was never a snooker player.
@jayrecto HA YEH THE 'Southeast Asian Games' WHICH ONLY 'Southeast Asian folk' PARTICIPATE - AGAINST ANY OF THE TOP 250 AGAINST THE WORLD EFREN WOULD GET HIS ASS KICKED IN SNOOKER. HES A FUCKIN BADMAN AT POOL THO!!!!!! :)
@pistolpeeroy you fucking retard smalling efren with his snooker skills? he played 3 cushions try playing that. it is way harder than snooker. you piece of shit. and why jimmy white didnt win efren with this one? he is a snooker god. but Snooker And Pool Are very different sport.
@coltsuperocean10 : if reyes will play snooker. it will have the same result. he beat all snooker players.. thats why he didnt attemp to play snooker to give way to the snooker players.... hes simply the best...
@bob07071985 . is this guy serious? with the cue action that reyes has, theres no way he could play professional snooker. i play all cue sport and am half filipino.
@coltsuperocean10 Has Jimmy White played, Straight Pool? One pocket ? carramble? eight balls? and alot more? I dont have anything against snooker and their players, but it seems in this video the commentators are ignorant. Perhaps they only know the game of snooker and nothing else....
@coltsuperocean10 I've heard he did something like knock in 3 or 4 centuries with his American pool cue. I'd just like to see a cross-over tournament. 9 ball vs snooker so you get the best 9 ballers playing snooker and the best snookerers playing 9 ball.
@stitcha123 Go to 9ballpool.co.uk Click "interviews, Daryl Peach" and read his answer to question number 7. That's the closest I've found to "proof". I don't see any reason for Peach to lie about it though.
@adibeh interesting. i suspect you're right. the two are so vastly differnt games. i cant see effen beating white or sullivan in a game of snooker any more than a rugby team could play nfl well. wud love to see efen play snooker though, wudnt u?
@stitcha123 Actually Efren did play snooker..against Ronnie and Jimmy for money and he beat them both. He made 3 centuries with his pool cue...all this coming from Daryl Peach.
EFREN "BATA" REYES = "The greatest Player...who ever Played the Game..."
-jimmywhite =snooker
-efrenbatareyes =9ball..10ball..8ball...rotation...one pocket...(all of those he conquered AS A WORLD CHAMPION...BEST IN THE WORLD..)DONT COMPARE SNOOKER...BECAUSE IN GENERAL...SNOOKER IS ONLY "ONE" GAME ON THE POOLWORLD!!
It really isn't that big of a difference. I mean on a professional scale it is really noticable but just playing for fun, it really is no different for me.
@andos8888 You do realize that snooker balls and International pool balls are different sizes right? The International balls are bigger than the snooker balls so pocket sizes are more-or-less the same.
@andos8888 Its not a huge difference at all. And for tournament pool, at least in professional matches, they can choose the pocket size before the matches start (Way in advance of course) and usually they pick the smaller ones. So really it is more or less the same.
@andos8888 idk I feel it is the same considering I play both on a regular basis. The rules are the only difference to me. Otherwise they are exactly the same.
@Pelvisman1147 come on man!!the game is totally different snooker is on a different level do u think Reeves could have took 7 frames of snooker of Jimmy.NO CHANCE,And how you think the pockets are the same is just beyond me no way u can play both sports.
@andos8888 Actually Efren did play snooker..against Ronnie and Jimmy for money and he beat them both. He made 3 centuries with his pool cue...all this coming from a Daryl Peach interview.
@andos8888 actually reyes already beat jimmy at snooker in mone games u can ask daryl peach for that overall efren is the greatest player who ever hold a cue.
@outdoorpooltable You're*, absolutely*. Learn to spell. And yes I'm so clueless because my mother was a semi-pro pool player in Arizona until she died of cancer in 1998. I know what each sport is. I just don't see a difference between them. I'm quite good at pool and snooker I've just picked up recently, but am by no means bad at it. I'm sorry that my thought process is more simple than your's when it comes to these 2 great sports.
of course people talk negatively about stricklands table attitude, but calling someone scum of the earth in the media is just petty and over the top. ronnie once forfetited a match against hendry in snooker and it was really disrespectful, but you don't see hendry turning around and callin ronnie scum in an interview. i could go on here but u get the point. yes daryl iss a failed snooker transitioner.. he couldnt even break into the snooker rankings, or compete at the highets levels, i'll show u
@speedgun00 I actually miss players of Earls ilk.Today it seems that all the players behave themselves like professionals which is cool,but I do miss the colorful personalities from the 70s-80s.This is pool,not golf.Remember when the poolroom was filled with lowlifes,gamblers,hoods,rich folk,rail birds etc?Now ya can't even smoke.19$/hr,m/f leagues,atms,micro brews,tofu sandwiches?In a poolroom?No, Earl ain't what's wrong with pool.
@lemonite1 you dumbfuck, why do you think pool in america is in a shithole as compared to Taiwan and the Phillipines? Because of all those reminesent descriptions you mentioned... duh! If pool is going to become an accepted SPORT instead of a shitty game, it has to change for the better. That is clearly why we have people like Shane Van Boening, Hohmann, Imonnen, and Reyes are in this scene and not some bar blabber to entertain us like Strickland.
@SlickRick4EVER Look,call me what ya want, I live in Brooklyn.I've had worse things said to me by more impressive than you... and yes, I have been to Asia where they still gamble,smoke,cus and fight in the poolrooms, duh. Pool was bigger in the 80s and 90s because it had yet to be overrun by your homogeneous scene. There are still many of us who don't want it to become an accepted SPORT because of people like YOU not Earl.
@lemonite1 You remind me of the Peanuts character, Linus. I also take it that you're pretty much a low-life as well. You say that you have been to Asia... good, WHAT PARTS, EXACTLY? Elaborate. That was a FAIL in your part. Sadly, it's ignorant and old-school-totting idiots like yourself that will never get billiards into the Olympics! Pinoys need a gold metal, for a damn change. You live in Brooklyn, right? Shut up and play some 14.1, crybaby.
@lemonite1 His sportsmanship is terrible and immature. I agree with the bulk of your points, but I don't think it justifies Earl's behavior. I think there's no excuse for being a terrible sport.
serious youve exposed youself embarrasingly and now trying to cover up again? ur a joke. Plucked from the air?? ive deen that drago match.. it was against higgins, and the century wasnt even important in context. u stooped as low as to mention hustling, and said yourself that snookers more boring..but now your turning around and saying u didnt say that? this argument wont end because u keep changing your mind, and lie. due to that i wont reply to dimwits. good day
@speedgun00 So you try shooting down my rebuttle of stamina with irrelevance in context? How about outside of that match? Can you explain why Drago has such a fast pace even today? Snooker, compared to pool, IS boring. You're talking about pool, which has so many variations that are played. Again, you're trying to tell one side of the story and head for the back door with your tail between your legs. That's okay. You can do that. You've made your try, and while valiant, failed.
I play both games, snooker and pool, although I do prefer pool. Reyes is my god in terms of 9ball and pool table games overall.. But I assure you, if Reyes put some effort in snooker training he would go as far as Selby for example. I have much respect for the game of snooker. These games are different.

I just feel very easy playing pool after playing snooker. And if I go to a snooker table after playing pool, potting becomes hell. I think the wider pockets of a pool table make it easier to pot balls.

@sshakababy its not the size of snooker pockets that trips me up, its that they are rounded.

@sshakababy I think u mean u feel very easy potting..any pool player knows that playing snooker actually ruins u'r pool , it takes away the feel and control of the shot.
alexacru 1 year ago
@sshakababy Potting balls is easier on a pool table. That's undeniable. But determining which game is harder is a completely different comparison. They are both incredibly difficult to get good at.

@coltsuperocean10 I've heard he did something like knock in 3 or 4 centuries with his American pool cue. I'd just like to see a cross-over tournament. 9 ball vs snooker so you get the best 9 ballers playing snooker and the best snookerers playing 9 ball.

@andos8888 You do realize that snooker balls and International pool balls are different sizes right? The International balls are bigger than the snooker balls so pocket sizes are more-or-less the same.
Pelvisman1147 1 year ago
@Pelvisman1147 yes i do realise this but look at the pocket sizes and the table size LOL massive difference.
andos8888 1 year ago
@andos8888 Its not a huge difference at all. And for tournament pool, at least in professional matches, they can choose the pocket size before the matches start (Way in advance of course) and usually they pick the smaller ones. So really it is more or less the same.
Pelvisman1147 1 year ago
@Pelvisman1147 no its not the same its nowhere near the same,there is a massive difference fool
andos8888 1 year ago
@andos8888 idk I feel it is the same considering I play both on a regular basis. The rules are the only difference to me. Otherwise they are exactly the same.
Pelvisman1147 1 year ago
@Pelvisman1147 come on man!!the game is totally different snooker is on a different level do u think Reeves could have took 7 frames of snooker of Jimmy.NO CHANCE,And how you think the pockets are the same is just beyond me no way u can play both sports.

@outdoorpooltable You're*, absolutely*. Learn to spell. And yes I'm so clueless because my mother was a semi-pro pool player in Arizona until she died of cancer in 1998. I know what each sport is. I just don't see a difference between them. I'm quite good at pool and snooker I've just picked up recently, but am by no means bad at it. I'm sorry that my thought process is more simple than your's when it comes to these 2 great sports.
Pelvisman1147 1 year ago
Snooker players can show up at pool tourneys, have a few beers, and compete with the 'greatest' pool players.
No pool player could ever hope to compete in any way in snooker.
It's just a fact.

@speedgun00 I actually miss players of Earls ilk.Today it seems that all the players behave themselves like professionals which is cool,but I do miss the colorful personalities from the 70s-80s.This is pool,not golf.Remember when the poolroom was filled with lowlifes,gamblers,hoods,rich folk,rail birds etc?Now ya can't even smoke.19$/hr,m/f leagues,atms,micro brews,tofu sandwiches?In a poolroom?No, Earl ain't what's wrong with pool.
lemonite1 1 year ago 19
@lemonite1 you dumbfuck, why do you think pool in america is in a shithole as compared to Taiwan and the Phillipines? Because of all those reminesent descriptions you mentioned... duh! If pool is going to become an accepted SPORT instead of a shitty game, it has to change for the better. That is clearly why we have people like Shane Van Boening, Hohmann, Imonnen, and Reyes are in this scene and not some bar blabber to entertain us like Strickland.

@SlickRick4EVER Look,call me what ya want, I live in Brooklyn.I've had worse things said to me by more impressive than you... and yes, I have been to Asia where they still gamble,smoke,cus and fight in the poolrooms, duh. Pool was bigger in the 80s and 90s because it had yet to be overrun by your homogeneous scene. There are still many of us who don't want it to become an accepted SPORT because of people like YOU not Earl.

@lemonite1 You remind me of the Peanuts character, Linus. I also take it that you're pretty much a low-life as well. You say that you have been to Asia... good, WHAT PARTS, EXACTLY? Elaborate. That was a FAIL in your part. Sadly, it's ignorant and old-school-totting idiots like yourself that will never get billiards into the Olympics! Pinoys need a gold metal, for a damn change. You live in Brooklyn, right? Shut up and play some 14.1, crybaby.

@speedgun00 So you try shooting down my rebuttle of stamina with irrelevance in context? How about outside of that match? Can you explain why Drago has such a fast pace even today? Snooker, compared to pool, IS boring. You're talking about pool, which has so many variations that are played. Again, you're trying to tell one side of the story and head for the back door with your tail between your legs. That's okay. You can do that. You've made your try, and while valiant, failed.
