Efren Reyes Runs 141 in 6 Minutes

[ryanw1pool]

didnt know they made 120 p or i, its quite bad but still oh so good

[Redh0t2011]

the song seems way to slow for the vid lol

[hmgkx]

141 balls without a mistake......just do 41 and you are a good player.

[Andrerw50]

this fast shit is making me freak out

[Tehbrainlessone]

i lold.... who's efren's opponent? lol

[gabbahey66]

sucks

[kadangkaler]

are u allergic to good quality video?

[bandzuelo]

i thought manny pacquiao is the quickest atlethe in the philippines..... its EFREN REYES!!

[ianbitchTGOD]

whats the song ?

[TheWillsmith13]

have you got a real time vid?

[woooDemiLovato]

its sad when young pool players dont know what game this is...

[dv713]

Straight Pool. It was the game of champions for a long time until they decided to switch to 9 ball in the late 70s to make it more appealing for TV. There is a lot less luck in the game, unlike 9 ball.

Mosconi was the king of the game in the 40s and early 50s. Once ran 526 in an exhibition. Few know that he ran more than that in practice where he ran in the 580s with witnesses.

[itinkle]

I apologize for this silly question, but what is the name of this form of pool where you can just shoot any ball?  I've seen it on a computer game, but never seen it in real life.

[jrldorado]

Namuti ang mata ng kalaban. lol

[notbestfriends]

Mosconi ran 526 balls in 2 hrs. 20 minutes. He didn't miss, he just quit because he got tired. IMO he's the G.O.A.T.

[nukjnukj]

i didn't know efren reyes is good at speed pool too

[Dopplershift]

In the preview stillframe for this video it looks like Reyes is doing the raised fist thing from the end of The Breakfast Club.

[Dr0ctave]

@Dopplershift lol, DOOOOOOOOO'NT YOU, FORGET ABOUT ME!

[SirNoobs]

Damn lol, his opponent probably had the time to go home and take a shower and nap and come back a few hours later...only to see Efren still shooting.

[notbestfriends]

Reyes is a fine player but Mosconi, with a 16 World Titles and a 526 straight pool run is the GOAT IMO.

[numberonebubba]

Cool Video . . .

[Fattyzilla]

little bit to fast you shouldve tried to shorten it down to 10 mins

[fatsmut]

very skilled thx fer posting...almost a lost art straight pool

[erjamon1]

It's like a chess game. You need to calculate the next movements before you play.

[GetMeThere1]

A cooler way to run this would be in real time, but showing only the actual strike of the cue to the point the ball stops moving...and repeat. It would probably be nearly as fast, and you'd actually be able to see "pool" being played.

[omnigut1]

@GetMeThere1 - I don't know what you mean by "cooler", but the shots themselves are not the important part. It's the choice of balls and positioning that matters. This way you get more time between shots to look at the table, and see why he's choosing the balls that he's choosing.

[GetMeThere1]

@omnigut1 : Perhaps you don't understand what I mean. In the way I suggest you see everything about choice of balls and positioning. What you DON'T see is a lot of walking around the table. And what you WOULD get better is an appreciation for cue speed. As far as looking at the table between shots--you could always pause and look the table over as much as you please. Ultimately, it doesn't matter--the video is too blurry to really be able to learn anything, unfortunately.

[omnigut1]

@GetMeThere1 : Yeah, you're right, it's almost too blurry to watch. And when I watched the vid in real time it was basically too messed up to appreciate the shots. It's one bad thing or another. Thanks for the tips, though

[BenevolentKing7]

Love to see Efren play snooker, alot of 9 ball players cant go up to the game but they dont call him the magician for nothing

[tofudogg]

Sick!

[celso610]

Who cares the speed of the video,,,,,listening to John Lee Hooker and I forgot the other guy's name is more than enough,,

[davis4311]

number of balls pocketed - the ball left on the table each time is the break out ball.  -davis

[Kirbybboy]

I bet.... 100000000$ his opponent lost XD

[screenday1]

@alimitha This is Straight pool

[snookerjam]

snooker?? this is 14-1 pool game.

[hendinho87]

whats this game called?

[johnph96]

Straight Pool.

[KUPZ29]

wow, this guy is good. he never missed a shot until that last one when he didn't break the rack. awesome. thank you for sharing.

[jman2786]

watching this video makes me dizzy.... regular speed please

[hertdebert]

Watch the movie The Hustler if you are not familiar with straight pool...It's a man's game. A real thing of beauty when played at this level.... thanks for the vid....

[shaider77]

Only thing missing are the keystone cops and Charlie Chaplin. : )

[liljake0116]

I would rather watch it in regular time...not in fast forward.

[omnigut1]

Yeah: every ball is worth one point, you can go for any one, and when there's only one ball left on the table, you rack up the other ones and try to break them open when you pocket the final ball. There's not much more to it than that.

[osthyvel]

what is the point of breaking the other balls when you're pocketing the final ball? how do you win? xD

[omnigut1]

You win when you've pocketed a previously determined number of balls. In this case, I'm assuming they're playing to 150 balls.

So, in each rack you're only pocketing 14 balls (the 15th ball is left as it lies on the table). The skill is getting good position on the 15th ball, so that your next shot can send you into the pack. That's why the game is sometimes called 14.1.

14 balls per rack means 141 points is 14 racks, plus one more ball. He probably only needed another 9 to win this game. :)

[osthyvel]

ahh i see now, thank you

[bcpd2k]

Can someone give me a quick rules summary for this game? I think I got it but not sure.

[wwiizzeerr]

well... the video is 6 min. and i bet my life its a bit faster than real xD but anyway he' s the best of all time

[MrMudneck]

thats joe cocker, the I get by with a little help from ym friends guy. with john lee hooker on guitar. song is called five long years.

[KUPZ29]

his opponent sure got plenty of rest on this game, hahahahaha.

[MaxEberle]

Nice with the blues!!!!!

[pepamethodman]

I even cannot IMAGINE what goes on in this man's head...

[kuchiki1]

Efren Reyes Legend of Billiards.

[WillieDines1]

The guy singing is John Lee Hooker, but I don't know the name of the song :)

Nice video indeed, although it would have been nice to watch the run being played at normal speed with the proper audio, but perhaps another time and this video still gets top rating from me :)

[BahoUtot]

Would have been way cooler if this run on speed is shown entirely in the overhead angle. It would be good reference for those trying to learn shot selection and cue ball control of straight pool from the maestro himself.

[elementse7en]

Amazing leave at the end there. I'd love to see his opponent shoot the next shot.

[arclight]

wahahahaha wahahahaha truly a magician an artiste and a fucker hehehehe, long live my idol! idol nak ng pokwa no match silang lahat sayo! you are the man! pumalag dudurugin ko mukha! tyak un! long live bata! peace!

[RayHusted]

i laughed so hard at the end when reyes just taps the nose of the rack just to fuck with the guy... my hero

[hayato10]

where's that?

[silvaaa70]

Yea that was a great shot at the end. He got bad shape on the shot before so he misses the rack entirely when trying for that last "break out" shot and ends up landing up table. He puts the cueball in jail on that last shot and to add to it, he gets a ball to the rail and near a pocket. Efren is amazing and so smart.

[am7081]

sorry if i sound stupid but what type of game are they playing?

[dani200105]

its called "straight pool" or "14.1" ...each ball is worth one point..

[xcalibour1]

straight pool

[nukjnukj]

14.1 straight pool

[demonbre]

This seems kinda fast.

Is this in real time or fast forward?

[ermaduk]

great video, cheers mate

[ermaduk]

u fucking retard.

[plasticbudgie]

whats the name of that blues track

[Danilaification]

it sounds like steve ray vaughn,but i don't no how name of this track is

[shoexy]

its soo cool with the music

[tagtasher]

Is it possible to have this in normal speed?

[bone6966]

normal speed videos of this, would definitelly be enjoyable, thanks 4 the upload

[omnigut1]

I could, but this video is at 8 times the speed; the whole thing is 48 minutes.

[bone6966]

appreciate it anyway:) i know u can split up the videos like efren ownage 1 but i have never uploaded, and have no clue how to yet. thanks again

[bone6966]

10 minute segmants os what i meant to mention, thanks

[tagtasher]

I'll buy you a beer if you could split this into, let's say, 10min segments. ;) I really would like to see this in normal speed.

[joethepigg]

See him scratch his head now and then.
