You can't really show off a player based off short clips. These just look like a bunch of random basic shots. Sure, there are a few "trick" type shots tossed in there but trick shots in normal competitions are normally a sign of weakness, not skill. A skilled player wouldn't leave themselves that kind of shot. If someone else left them that shot then they normally play a safety. He's a great player though... but these clips make him appear otherwise IMO.
@ltcode2 I'm not sure exactly what shot you are talking about... but I said there were a few "trick" type shots. However, he is supposed to be playing 9-ball it looks like in all of these clips. I'm not claiming he isn't a great player. He is probably the best. My point is that these clips just don't paint that picture. Like you point out, at best they might indicate he is a decent trick shot artist... but that is not what he is famous for.
@101perspective i was referring on random shots obviously, but you have said that trick shot is a sign of weakness? Each player did not aim for the EMPTY CUP but the honor of his/her country, that's why if a player thought that he/she have to do some sort of that shots, he/she must do besides PRO thing is a way far on a CROWD's View, same thing happened to Pac-Marquez III fight.
@ltcode2 Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the trick type shots were very justified at the time. However, they are shown here out of context. Same for those ultra easy shots. I'm not saying he is a bad player... just that this doesn't really show off his talent that well. Just my opinion. To really demonstrate his skill I think you would have to show him running a table or two. Or, maybe show primarily his best safe shots with just a couple other difficult, yet not trick shots, thrown in.
@joejizzle671-you're right, but at 5:23 was the shot that followed which was great, 1:57 he was trying to snooker earl, and instead snookered himself.
at 2:00, that was his mis-shot, where he aimed a safety vs Earl Strickland. However, he himself covered that by another miracle cross-band shot. Earl said, I would like to lose that way than to win.
I think the video is too long so that we don't see enough of his amazing shots, but more of his plain, simple shots that really any professional can make
I think the video is too long so that we don't see enough of his amazing shots, but more of his plain, simple shots that really any professional can make
Fats was a decent player...but Efren's skill is extraordinary! No pro today can match him for the cash! Strickland tried in Hong Kong, and lost. When Efren comes to the US, he always stops by Hardtimes in Bellflower a couple days to practice. Serious players stop to watch him and hopefully pick up some pointers. He's also still very humble! A really great guy!
Minnesota Who? WTF? and 8 dislikes came from Floyd Mayweather Sr, Jr., Roger Mayweather, 50cent, Earl Strickland, Jimmy White, Nick Varner and Ralf Soquet. The Mayweathers said Efren is on steroids. Fuck you Mayweather, Pacquiao is gonna bust your face like shit.
Efren Reyes is considered by the pool experts the best that ever played the game. Minnesota fats is a pool hustler an American player and a self appointed best pool player, not even one of the best of his time but just an overhyped. over promoted by the American media as usual as the best and a movie was made (Hustler) about it. Willie Masconi was the best at that time. But since Efren Reyes is not an American I doubt it very much if they ever make a movie about him here in America.
@Sprinkles1979 Efren has pocketed so many kick shots in his 30 or so years of career. I think many of us agree to give him some benefits of the doubt.
Wow, why include flukes? There are a couple which he blatently didn't play for as they left him in bad position. Also many shots here are fairly routine.
@Darkens10 flukes?? dude you dont know what the fuck your talking about you obviously have know clue who this is. you should just shut your mouth!!!! the guy is called the magician for a reason and its not because of flukes. if you ever seen him play in real life you would fucking know this.
@bubbat2308 First of all calm down, I didn't say he was a bad player just that the video includes flukes and easy shots.. Go to 5.09 this is a good escape but not a delibarate pot. If he had been trying to pot it he would have played off 2 cushions instead of three. I do know who he is and respect him but the best get slices of fortune too you know
let us all be honest here ; the pockets on these tables are incredibly generous . on a snooker table it's a different skill level altogether. he is good and clearly understands his angles but these rail shots go in with a huge margin for error as the pockets are so enormous.
he looks fun to play with xD whenever a fail shot or a lucky finish happens he celebrates like a kid laughing and flailing his cue stick xD iba tlga pg noypi~ :D
reyes stacked up against the greatest players of all time .... no one will come close including the great mosconi- with all due respect..... at 57 he is still on top... while his contemporaries are retired or cant compete at highest level...
indeed... no doubt... the top players today are superior than the players of the past specially with the asian powerhouse such as taiwan...
Reyes is hands down the greatest pool player of all time
WTF @ 3:36 I'm heading to the pool hall to see if I can re-create the spin on that cue ball, WOW!!! I'll prolly need at least 10 bucks in quarters, lol.
I always appreciate pool ethusiasts. However, half these shots were basic and should be considered automatic at this level. Secondly, if you watch your video, on three of the clips Efren plays aq safe while his object ball drops and he screws himself lol. I respect the guy for sure but get rid of those clips man.lol And he not even close to strickland in his prime!
@NAMTRIP Yup he's that good. In fact this slantey eyed SOB can fuck your mama and your lil sister with his eyes close while your grandma is fornicating in the corner. You stupid lil fuckface!
no question that man is michael jordan of billiards..philippine billiard is just like that..every body there loves to hang out in billiards and bar shop..girl boy young old rich or poor.....thats why they are many event held there for world billiards competition...so dont be shock if they are many champions from the philippines even if it is small country....
@mastercueartist Yes! And Mosconi was the best 14.1 player EVER! Problem was that was the only game he played. Efren is the best all-around player ever and certainly, in my opinion, the best one-pocket player ever.
I don't want to start a big argument but I have to disagree with you. Mosconi was the greatest player of his time but he would never have amassed the number of world titles he had if he faced the competition out there today. Mosconi was a straight pool player. Reyes comes from a country that has to run the same 15 balls but they have to do it in order. That's a whole skill above straight pool. Efren won the first straight pool tourny he entered. He's on a different level.
He has mastered every billiard/pool game that he has played. Mosconi was great but couldn't even imagine doing the things Reyes does on the table. Watch as many videos of Reyes as you can. Time & time again the commentators talk about how no one has ever seen a player of his ability. Other pros come to see his matches. He kicks multiple rail shots to hit the object ball at the right speed and angle to separate the cueball and object ball and leave a person hooked ON PURPOSE! He's not human.
