    Efren Reyes, or the magician, did not gain his exquisite and unique proficiency from nothing. He started playing pool since he was 8 y/o and now he's 65 y/o (dated today) which means he has been playing pool for 57 years (born August 26, 1954).
    Efren has mastered the entire pool table angles, strikes force, unimaginable control and precision on the cue ball, and a very high self-confidence with absolutely no vanity (He's very humble and friendly by the way).
    Two more things about Efren Reyes, he has never underestimated any opponent, and he has never neglected the calculation of any hit no matter how easy the ball is.
    God bless Efren Bata Reyes.

      He started playing as early as 5 years old. We've heard that story. And if you watched enough games, you would see he HAS made mistakes. Like against Tony 'The Sniper' Crosby [2006?] he made multiple 'miscalculations ' on relatively easy shots.
      Despite his success he stays very humble, and has played at the highest level since 1985, an incredible period of time to be "in his prime". He is the greatest.

    One of the most enjoyable pool shooters in history. The one thing that sets him apart from most is his understanding of risk vs reward. That left handed shot to push the 6 ball past the stripe is a classic example of that. He knew it was risky but he also understood that had he made it he would have had an easy run out. Been watching him do this for many years and his success shows how profitable that mindset can be.

      @bonhzeppelin9882 Před 6 lety +10

      Yes Efren did lose a big money game to Buddy (The Who?) Hall! In 1985 - Efren (aka Ceasar Morales) matched up with Buddy - Even - for 10K, 10 ahead 10 ball (1 foul, push out rules). It was at Red's 9 ball open pool tournament in Houston, Texas. Buddy initially wanted to play 9-ball but Efren opted for 10 ball. Buddy agreed, and won the 10 ahead set. Efren and, or his backers quit but said they wanted to play the next day. Btw, after that match both split the gate money made from the sweaters, that paid to see the match in the tournament room. Also, Buddy was there to play the next day only to find that Efren and party left town. Earlier Efren won the 9 ball tournament defeating Wade Crade (aka Billy Johnson) in the finals. After winning the tournament he matched up with other great players like Keith McCready, St. Louis, Louis, Roberts, and Mike Sigel defeating all comers, with the only exception being Buddy Hall. For Efren to do what he did, the very first time he set foot on American soil, is a testament to his great talent.

      +planetX15 I was specifically responding to Jose's comment that Efren NEVER lost a big money match, and simply pointed out he was incorrect. BTW, $10,000 in 1985 today would be just over double that amount. Also, Reyes conceded he was no longer the Money King in the Philippines, and handed over the MK title to Dennis Orcollo. Efren humbly said he couldn't beat Dennis for money, but could beat him in tournament play. So Efren has lost at least twice in the past 32 yrs. ;-)

      Cord: "billiard player" is a perfectly acceptable phrase. I'll explain: -- When *speaking in-person* to someone who is English-fluent, "pool player" works fine, but *be tolerant, neighborly, and considerate* of the fact that the word "billiard" in all of it's various national language spellings is much easier to understand (and translate) in almost all of the world's *written* languages. The English word "pool" -- sometimes confusedly -- has a dozen different meanings; "billiard(s)" always describes one of the *cue sports* . And yes, I'm totally aware of the fact that pocket billiards (pool) differs markedly from any of the pocket-less carom billiards disciplines. You'll agree i'm sure, that the world needs *tolerance* and international friendliness more than ever.

      Hope you'll appreciate more info about what was really going on there folks. Here's the exact reason *(I was there)* : The face off ("stare down") was of course scripted beforehand -- set up and rehearsed with the production team for dramatic effect. Happens with many mano a mano sports events (boxing, cage fighting, -- even some televised tennis and chess matches). Photo op, tension-building publicity stuff. It would be far beyond Reyes' everyday humility to ever look hatefully and challengingly at his opponent like that, without being coaxed to do so for essentially silly, theatrical TV purposes. They were both laughing during the rehearsal for that mutual "stare down." They finally managed to suppress the awkward grinning and convinced the production crew that they'd deliver when the on-camera moment came. Efren knew full well that the mutual stares were a pretense.

      @@raycarltonbilliards5798 I had no idea this happened in professional pool matches. I can see how a stare down / face off would indeed create more viewership / interest in this match thereby justifying selling commercial time during the match at a higher dollar amount than usual. People that love the game are going to watch anyway but bringing in people who are not necessarily that interested in pool and affected emotionally through witnessing the stare-down would be susceptible to this type of manipulation and want to see who wins the "fight". Yes, it's silly and fatuous but highly effective as a money maker for everyone connected to the production of this pool match-up final.

      Mark: Millions of players and fans, and hundreds of professional players from all countries would certainly agree with you about Efren. *Efren has had the longest period of peak playing ability of any world-class player in the 170-year history of professional pool.* And I'll tell you and other viewers something more about the man himself:
      I've known Efren for more than 30 years and can personally tell you that he has no equal for a lifetime of being gentlemanly, fair, humble, and respectful of other pros and spectators always -- meanwhile playing with unearthly skill and the imagination and vision of a true genius. A humble genius -- that's a category of genius rarely seen in world history. Such a decent, wholesome man. A wonderful role model for young and older folks alike, and for emerging players everywhere. Pool players of all ages around the world (and millions of non-players too) all love Efren. His skills, sportsmanship and *unmistakable human kindness* dazzle everyone. He probably has inspired more players to begin playing our wonderful sport, than any player in recent history.

      No one makes those razor-thin cuts better that Efren. Any newer players should note how the pros apply the "helper english" -- as Buddy Hall calls it -- (left side spin in this case) to make cuts that are 90 degrees or even more (spin that *_throws_* them easily, even when a player slightly undercuts them).

Ask yourself "How did that happen?" --- You'll immediately realize exactly how, and that realization tells you how you can (and will) get closer to mastery yourself. *There's only one way to get better at any worthwhile pursuit* .

      The very successful Bollywood studios located in India -- rather than Los Angeles Hollywood ones -- would do an excellent biographical film for several very logical reasons: geographical proximity and intra-Asia language adeptness. Additionally, Amazon and Facebook are making huge, likely profitable, footprints into India's economy and could be interested in co-producing an Efren biographical film if a *_quality screenwriter's script_* would initiate such a film or TV project for mass general audiences. Efren's life is an historic success story with built-in worldwide appeal.
      Things get even more interesting for future Efren fans everywhere because: I predict that by the year 3000 -- a living hologram -- an *_imperishable life-endowed hologram_* of Efren Reyes with all his abilities, will be brought in by shrewd gamblers to triumph over the AI (Artificial Intelligence) android robots who are winning all the *_3-dimensional pool tournaments_* played on 15-meter cubical pool tables in zero-G space environments in all of the Milky Way galaxy's populated solar systems and exoplanets . Efren will dazzle all the bettors and the androids with his powerful, but finessed 45-rail bank shots . The matches will be instantaneously transmitted to viewers throughout our galaxy *_via quantum entanglement sender/receivers_* and televised live around the globe and in time-delayed programs sent to precious metal miners working on the moon, Mars and several hundred asteroids.
