Imagine being so good, players avoid playing with you to the point you had to change your name. Efren could relate
Lmao

Smurfing irl
It's like Ryan Hall in mma nobody will fight him because he'll have you in a heel hook in 30 seconds
What's more amazing is his doing it during tournaments with professional opponents where every wrong move can make u loss, yet he overcame it. Truly skillful player and a legend
Oooii
doing stunts in a ranked match, legend
Those shots mean more to me,, under pressure and in compitition
I know right playing for thousands of dollars and he’s like I’ll try an insane bank shot haha
Most of the shots are from exhibitions and set up trick shots.
if you can win the game which makes you a winner, but if you can change the game which makes you a legend, he is the legend.
So True ! 😊
Wow I love this.

It’s good his opponents did not take it as arrogance when Efren did the 4 rail shot instead of the direct shot to the pocket. Maybe they did but the audience was pleased.
being good enough to do it. Being confident enough to do it in a tournament. Legend
Its great how people grab their smart phones to record that last shot at 5:32. What would have otherwise a simple basic shot because of creativity became more than impressive
Efren was actually about to turn 58 with his match against Charlie Wiliams (Aug. 6, 2012). He was born on August 26, 1954 (2012-1954 = 58). As of today (Nov. 10, 2021) he's 67 years old.
My late husband was born August 26th, 1954 . He would have been very pleased to know that he shared a birthday with the magician. Sadly, he passed on June 15th, 1984 shortly before he turned thirty.
I remember being a teenager watching Reyes amd Bustamante going head to head on ESPN. Honestly those times were golden years of Pool in my opinion, oh yea how can I not mention the Queen Allison Fisher baby.
I remember watching this video as a teen. I’d be weird if I couldn’t remember doing something I did a couple seconds ago
The best.
And don't forget the "black widow"... Jeanette Lee
Brings me back to my time living over in Indonesia, I was always hitting up the pool halls. Got to see Bustamante in person, wish I could have seen Efren, got to play and drink together with Alex Pagulayan while he did a tour of Indonesia (and got some juicy info xD ), he was a great laugh to hang out with. Legends without a doubt. I once played in a national tournament in Indonesia and played against a couple of their top players, one guy (Ricky Yang if I recall) and one woman, I forget their names, I was friends with the woman though, always happy to play some games. Shame it's difficult to find anywhere in the UK where I live and with reasonable price or I might have continued playing.
I thought I was the only one watching those two on ESPN decades ago. Back when ESPN aired billiards a lot.
efren reyes is a great player with some tricks which, he deserves to be called a legend 🔥🔥
u mean Goat
Some tricks?
He is a living Legend.
Pretty sure people say he's the greatest to ever live....
He is the best.
The Master. The Magician. The GOAT! 👍 God Bless you sir Efren.
In this narcissistic world of chest beating in other sports, his humble body language and reactions is what’s so great to see.
Nfl is the worst they mother fuckers celebrate when they are down by 20
Well said
Efren Reyes is a real magician
This man is hands✋ down!!! Amazing! His last shot was executed well.
Efren wooow. That 4 rail shot reminded me of Jordan's change of hands dunk against the Lakers !! A regular dunk no no no that's too easy iam Michael Jordan and I have to dunk it for the world to remember it for a long long time. So he changes his mind mid air and also changes his hands to make one of the greatest artistic layups of all times !! Efren has that same mind set here. Why would I just cut that ball and pocket it directly like a regular pool player !! Iam efren bata reyes and I need to play a shot which the world will remember a long long time and then he unleashes that 4 rail beauty which just took the breath away of all. There are great players in this world but their will be only a few who can just take your breath away by displaying something which would be out of this world and make them ICONIC. Here iam not knowing anything about pool and just getting awe struck at the genius of a pool player efren reyes whom we may come across only once in a lifetime.
Efren has always been my favorite player in a game I’ve played since I was old enough to walk. I couldn’t reach the table yet and couldn’t see the balls, so my father would lift me up and hand me a sticky old bar cue. I remember liking the bright blue chalk and my father explained how the caulk was really important. At four years old, you don’t really listen to what adults say unless it’s something like, “No!” or “Yes!” (I do remember, even as a toddler, preferring an emphatic “Yes!” over the usual “No!”, though.) All I knew for sure was, when my dad lifted me up and when I could see the green cloth and the balls on the table, I think I peed my diaper. It was that beautiful. And I could easily see the pockets where the balls are supposed to go. A little more study, and I can see the straight line I’d use to make the ball go in the pocket. Pretty simple concept, even for a four year old. Which always made me wonder, after almost 60 years of playing pool, why I haven’t changed my attitude at all? Since I was four. And do I need therapy or something? Nope, I knew while playing pool on the South Side of Chicago in a pool hall where not many white people were allowed, being totally Irish, winning money, not getting killed for it, kept going back cause I was “cool”, and at 12 years old, I realized there’s no such thing as “therapy” for the problem I had. Still have. I’m almost 60 years old now and not in diapers again yet, and still, I want to pee when I see a beautiful pool table. Please tell me I’m not alone. As your eyes age and your stupid careless endurance wanes a little, I’m still famous at the bar tables. I used to be pretty good. That’s what they remember anyway, and they rarely see me in a bar anymore. The only thing that’s changed in my bar table hustle habits besides only stumbling in by mistake every couple years, is that I can’t see sh*t anymore. Nobody knows this. Old stories from old friends I don’t remember the names of, start flying around, talk about that shot I made 20 years ago and I don’t remember that either. Nor the chicks. None of them, unfortunately. I buy a few rounds like the good ol’ days and I’m watching these new young sharks on the table. Not playing, just sizing up my competition. It’s pretty clear I’m going to get my ass kicked. Only takes watching an 18 year old make two flawless bank shots in a row. One of the best things about getting older and wiser is, you really don’t give a shit anymore. So relaxing. That was incorporated into my new strategy. The other part is, 18 year old punks are cocky and sloppy. I have time, psychology, and experience on my side. Good luck, kid. My quarters are up, my name on the board. This kid was smoking guys left and right. Dammit. Wait… I mean, I don’t care. Winner gets the break and he scratched. I hardly noticed. Someone yelled it was my turn. (Okay, that’s pushing the boundaries). I wasn’t going to play that guy who ignores the table, and nobody was fooled anyway. Open table. Hmmm… no shots. Wait, here’s a bankshot I’ll probably miss. I’m going for it. Slopped the sucker in and didn’t scratch. I got solids. Totally missed an easy straight in shot and it conveniently became an impossible safety. He’s pissed! Both my shots were mostly stupid luck and because of my ancient reputation, he thinks I’m hustling him. There you go, use the Force. Feel your anger! He started missing easy shots. I still didn’t care and I was missing easy shots. This enraged the kid even further. The truth is, I REALLY didn’t care, I wanted this over with, the music sucks and it’s WAY too loud, I’m tired. I said, “Let’s bank the eight. Let’s clear the table, just the cue and the eight. Bank or kick wins. No scratch.” He frowned, “How much?” I rolled my eyes, “Just for fun, kid.” So I tried a kinda fun 3 rail I used to easily make and missed. He did a one rail shot and won. Yeh. The kid is cheering that he beat the old shark and wanted a f*cking trophy. I yawned and shook his hand with the respectful, “Nice shot.”And walked home. Beautiful night for a walk.
Very humble ang respectable man, kudos for the great narration. I wish you well in life
You should be a writer. Put those memories on paper. Please.
Maestro que hermosas partidas como me gustaría aprender ajugar. Como UD.
EFREN REYES ES DE OTRO PLANETA, SALUDOS DESDE PERÚ 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪

Welcome to the TikTok era.
Just another current day for the Magician's . Respect from Brazil, we love Filipas pool masters
Hasta ahora no hubo nadie mejor que efren

hi! what a nice story to hear, but may i know what you refer to "reasonable price"?. do you mean cheap place to play billiard? if it is, then im suprised that this game isnt really cheap in uk, because here in Indonesia i can rent table like $1 or like Rp.15.000 for 1 hour, and if you want better place and more comfort it will cost no more than 3-4 bucks per hour. *sorry for my bad English and Nonsenseness XD
@@jundikhaalish2081 In the UK, snooker is the main billiard game of choice, but not all the halls have a pool table, most if they do have one is usually a small one, between 5' to 7' pub table. There was a place that had tables but sold them during renovation, the only other one near me is about 10 miles away, not ideal to travel to. And the cost is (or rather was when I still played) about £10 an hour per table, plus you also needed to buy an annual membership for about £10. Glad to hear the prices over there haven't changed though, I was in one of the many billiard halls almost nightly when I lived there, usually spending 3-4hrs a day playing and hanging out. Really do miss Indonesia, was the best years of my life by far.
@@jundikhaalish2081 lah di tempat gw 1 jam 40 k :v
@@jundikhaalish2081 here in philipphines we pay php7-php15 per round. But in other places its only php60 pero hour. Php60 is more than $1 only.
thank you
Filipina selalu melahirkan legenda..pertama..tinju dan biliard..good....salam dari indonesia..
Hello. Best regards to Indonesian people. Efren won the san miguel tour indonesian leg way back in 2006.
Now we have pole vault, tennis, gymnast champions hehe anyways we salute Indonesia futbol and tennis greeting from your neighbors
The Magician! I love to watch him play and if I could play half as well as Efren does, I would be so happy.
Legend never die
Wow magnificient move... Iba k talaga idol more power
Éste señor Efren Reyes es lo máximo, no existe ni existirá uno que llegue a su nivel, se han dado cuenta taquea que con las 2 manos.
Ayos talaga manuod sa channel na to. Di mo na kelangan panuorin ng buo. Nasa simula agad yung dapat mong mapanuod 😂
Wow 😍 epic shot. Love your technique Sir 🙏🙌👏🔥 I like your skill in shooting the ball, legend🔥👏🙌🏆
The Michael Jordan of pool. No one has ever played better or more beautiful.
This kid going to be great one of these days. Keep practicing. Practice, practice and practice.
You called this legend old man a kid?
@@levi9613 Settle down kitty. You're going to give yourself a hairball. You totally missed the joke. 😂
Efren "Bata" Reyes Kid in filipino is BATA but now he's old😁
The first shot is pure sorcery
Yeah and the poor camera is not rendering it right. Took ke a while to see it jump.
That's why he's called The Magician.
that almost hit the cue ball! what an end shot.
Cara não acredito que efren reys tem um canal .. um abraço aqui do Brasil
Homem é inteligente ou homem é hack ?????? Eu assisti ainda não lembrar que esse homem, mas não conheceram um homem, esse hein ???
imagine you saw a Thumbnail clicked the video and the first clip was actually the clip from the Thumbnail. just happened to me
The world would not b able to produce another magician like him
I can hear, on Efren on his last shot ... the sound effect right before you do a fatality in OG MK, then I hear the Yelp that the opponent makes as your rip their head off. F A T A L I T Y
Efren is the "Pelé" of snooker. Awesome player! Hugs from Brazil. 🇧🇷
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💖💖💖💖💖🇰🇷 SOBRANG LUPIT TALAGA NI IDOL!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Goat of billiards nobody is remotely close to this man
The GOAT Efren Reyes!
Efren Bata Reyes, the Magician as well as the script and the narrator are excellent!!!
😲😲😲.ese 10 estuvo épico. Que sangre fría para haser esa jugada. El patrón bata
When this guy plays he makes ppl smile talk about knowing how to enjoy the game.
People is spelled people - not ppl.
Watching people doing amazing stuff like this makes me realize how worthless my life is.
Hey don’t be hard on yourself, we all have our time and you just have to trust the process 👍🏼😊❤️
Ang galing po ninyo talaga sir efren, Sana po mapa mana po ninyo ang galing SA mga kabataan ngayon. Ingat po sir and God bless po.
😆～之所以能有如此精湛的演出，不光光只是靠不斷的重複練習😉最重要的是豐富的想像力與超乎常人的創意……結合一顆對撞球瘋狂的心😄
He would be the one that you call "Visioner".
You reminded me of how good I was at pool seeing those shots being wowed that I have also played too many times to mention as a teenager
...I was thinking the same thing. Every bank shot gets applause like it's "magic". Fine cuts and masse shots are part of every players game. His 3-4 bank shots and leaves are different for sure. But single banks are common. Except on these videos apparently.
thats the grand master's skill
Efren Bata Reyes is a wizard because the balls obey him...
Me facina ver al MAGO Efrén “BATA” Reyes.
hello all i'm from indonesia
I cant believe he did that when the score was already 6 to 6. Crazy confidence
Yes
It's what sets him apart, is why the people love him
How does he even do that 😱
Efren is the great billiard player! He is a magician and super talented guy, ...he is a one of a kind player😊
Well calculated move 😍 that's how GOAT Efren Bata Reyes is.
incredible shots:::Efren Reyes!!!!
Someone questions how strong is efrens creativity Efren: Y E S
The real King of Sports never die💓
Walang kaparis...more power. Blessings 😊
Living legend of billiards 😍
Making shots like that just out our your hat a one time deal makes him one of the best if not the best at creating such shots.
Crazy shots 👍👍👍
Efren wasn't even looking at the last ball but was more concerned with how the cue ball was moving. It's like he knew that ball will go straight to that pocket unless the naughty cue ball misbehaves.
that silence when efren do that .... you know something magical is about to happen
Efren, esse cara é foda !
Simplesmente o melhor 😎
You can’t even be this creative and reality bending in a video game
I only just got into watching pool. I also enjoy snooker however watching Reyes work his magic is the best
How did you fit the carabinerrs onto the end of the bungees? Nice vid. Cheers…☠️
To say he is a legend is an understatement
Now that is some mighty fine shooting skills there.
I’m still trying to figure out the first shot
El mejor de mundo sin dudas The best in the world without a doubt le meilleur du monde sans aucun doute
Intelligent and know his metric . He's like tiger wood learning golf so young as a child. Bata age 5 wow.

This humble man is the GOAT 👌👌👌
Dude is UNREAL🤯
The only respectfull man in the planet and most people know him tecognise him as the all time great in billard and yes its true but for me not only in billard he is the greatest of all great in any kind od sport look at him even though he is highly recognize as goat but you can see him in every street corner in philippines playing pool despite his being well known humble man anlike those other well known atlets you connot see them any where with out body guard but efren its just down to earth his always roaming every where in phlippines just to play pool
Woow, 😍😊 I'm inspired in watching this😊😍I love billiard game.
The shot at 6:13 when seen without the slomo looked as if the ball is not gonna fall into the pocket. But watching the slomo, the ball was spinning in a way that it could reach the angle of the pocket, like it was designed to be like that. Crazyyy
1:18 Textbook 4 railer. It's actually not a difficult shot once you get a feel for what angle to drive the ball into the rail. That angle remains consistent no matter where you hit along the end rail.
11:18 Look at the brilliant element of safety which he absolutely played
But he made the one ball...
Truly the GOAT!
9:25 someone explain me how to do this shots???
Loads of side
Reyes the Goat!!! Amazing
Efren Bata Reyes is the greatest because the balls obey him.😊❤
❤❤❤❤❤ Maestro
Just started watching pool, and must say he’s prolly the best pool player I have ever seen
I wish I had a dollar for every game of pool this guy has played
Gotta love seeing Earl having a great time shooting pool and playing with good friends!
very nice shot, but me in my country, when you play a ball in a hole, you have to mention if it will hit a side wall before entering and you have to name everything, so in this shot it should have named 4 , so in my country, the movement would have been refused and they would have lost the game
The clips make this unwatchable
Видео было бы неплохим, если бы не обилие ненужных вставок, которые, вообще говоря, зачастую неуместны
WOW! I'm speechless.
Malungkot na makitang matanda na ang alamat!
my favorite legends in Billiard Pool
for me ...besides being a very relaxed friendly playful player I think he is one of the best in this sport which is pool
NICE WORK MATE VERY WELL DONE IAM WATCHING FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 👍
OMG, amazing, you are truly a magician
"you" LMFAO
