- Efren Bata Reyes Best Shots, The Magician Greatest Shots
In one of Efren Reyes's most astonishing moments, which occurred in Vigo in 2010 during the Spanish Open, he seamlessly took someone else's cue stick while enjoying a drink. Without a moment's pause or removing his backpack, he walked to the table, demonstrating that he had already scouted the precise point for his shot in those few seconds. With a bag on his shoulder and a sandwich wrapper in his hand, Efren made the shot effortlessly. While it took other players minutes to figure out what to do, Efren, in a matter of seconds, effortlessly executed the shot, showcasing his incredible skill.

Literally "Hold my coffee". Lol. What a legend. 👌👌
Maybe its a beer? Haha
You don't eved need to hold it for him😆. He'll make the shot while take a sip
according to the interview it's a beer
hold my beer... hahaha
With the sandwich wrapper
More like "I'll hold your coffee for you while you whoop my Arse" ;)
It was not a "Hold my drink" situation..
He's such a legend it became a "Let me hold your drink, sir"
Great comment
Legend has it that instead of him saying "hold my drink"..
The drink asks to hold the legend instead.
Very underrated comment.

"The more i practice, the more i get lucky." -Efren Reyes
"The more i get lucky, the more i practice." -Some random dude from the internet
@@kylethompson3218 lmao
i swear i have read somewhere that this was quoted by tiger woods. ah classic internet
Heard a quote once forgot where from: "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity"
@@EisonDoesEverything true.
We need an anime for this, efren would be the old master
Great idea!
Nice idea
Fantastic idea!
damn man this would work!
Like Ippo Makunochi 🥊🎱
Efren Reyes is the best thing that ever happened to the world of Pool Billiards.
Cereal Killer best thing is he’s not even efren reyes....his real name is cesar morales
yam0415 you got that backwards....His real name is Efren Reyes, Cesar Morales was just his Alias so he wouldn’t get turned away when trying to enter tournaments because people was already hearing about Efren Reyes going around hustling.
Ulysses Bordaje yeahhh i know...i was just trolling him😅😅😅
“best thing?” He is not a thing. He is a legendary super-human pool engineer.
@@ulyssesbordaje6156 Thanks ! A master!
This dude's basically the Filipino equivalent of an old master who seems silly and looks very unassuming... until you see him in action and realize you just messed with a living legend.
Basically Yoda
@@franciscoserenoalvarez1582 That had me rolling. Lmao
uncle iroh when he's in his joking mode and sipping tea 🤣
This is Jiraiya in real life
Goku's mentor in Dragonball master roshi
During his prime, he was the best of the best, in evry tournament and every game he played, they learned new tricks and angle shots from him that's why they call him The Magician. He was also considered the father of precision shots in pool billiard in his prime, because of his precise angle shots, and tricks as if he knew the measurements and angles of the pool. Now he is G.O.A.T.
What is G.O.A.T?
@@anjagalan6905 Greatest Of All Time
@@geaselgeasel2330 salamat! :)
Napaisip din ako sa GOAT 😂
Indeed
That z shot he made against Strickland was the exclamation point of his illustrious career. The crowd's reaction after that jaw dropping shot by Efren says it all.
He is the MJ of billiards
you know youre great when even the great earl strickland cant believe his eyes with that shot.
Using another name or alias because nobody can beat you and your real name sends chills to the opponent just by hearing them. Just for that reason he is the GOAT
man just made a smurf account in real life.
@@ughugh9749 like pro player smurfing just to crush newbies 🤣🤣🤣
He could have just been "I'm Efren f'kin Reyes, bitch!"
@@alvarojneto he likes being on a lowkey profile and also likes lowkey trashtalks 🤣🤣🤣
Some tournament in asia, he literally use a different name because no one wants to play with him. Facts.
A master who does not called himself a master. Humble. How could anybody not respect him?
Hes always got an expression in Filipino," sininwerte lang". 'Juat got lucky ' in English. What a humble heart!
Such a humble and simple legend
South east Asian culture at its finest. Displaying his arrogance by being humble. Inside his head, he's like "what a bunch of noobs". Lol. Seriously tho, most talented Filipinos are like MC characters in anime. A weak image, but have a heart of a warrior with its own OPness. Haha
And always smile when he play haha
@Cat Person With Anxiety just like pacquiao😝😝??? not eveN close. Efren is not interested in politics. Pacquiao is now becoming a politician, i mean "POLITICIAN,"
Dude’s got a big smile on his face, just enjoying playing the game. Love this kind of competition and easygoing yet skillful play. He seems to be very humble and even though he’s so good he still has a massive love for this and not a massive ego. Very cool to see.
His uncle owned a billiards hall, where Reyes helped out by cleaning pool tables. He naturally became obsessed with billiards and spent many hours watching players make mistakes. It was these mistakes that he studied closely. He was also thrilled to see players make balls move around obstacles and into pockets. By age eight, Reyes tried his hand at billiards. He stood on crates of Coca-Cola to reach the table, and by age nine, he played his first-ever match with a money bet. When he was 12, he was already one of Manila’s best pool players. He participated in a tournament and won a cool $100 prize money. He kept $10 and sent the rest to his family.
tl:dr
Truly a chad.
dont forget he literally sleeps on the pool table when he was a kid
@@shaine1212 so that's mean if I want became legend like efren, i should sleep on the pool table right? anyone know where the pool table near my house?
@Secret bun that was joke my friend, don't take it seriously, now I'm 32 and I knew it's too late for me, I'm just a fans like you guys
David Alcaide is a world billiard champion (the one who gave him the cue stick), but look at his reaction before and after Efren pocketed the ball, haha..!! His respect for Efren is beyond anything.... ❤️
And he kept the cue stick
he even made the champion hold his drink. what a legend
Efren the last boss bro..😊
Well yes David idolized Efren, I mean every pool billiards players knew Efren since his a world famous legend of the game, holding Efrens beer is probably one of the best things happened in his life 🤣
@@liftingturtle1055 it's not even beer, it a cup of vendo coffee 🤣
The mans a god of the game. What I don’t understand is why there is 27 thumbs down on this video??
Must be a few people he burst on the table.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
There’s 27 extra thumbs up to counter it.
I reckon Earl has a few accounts 🙃
..and I'm the 27th person who liked your comment as a support! ☺️
that's Earl. 🤣✌️
maybe opponents lose to him😎
100th like by me.
What separates Efren from any famous professional pool players is his confidence to take any risky shots even in high stakes tournaments.
he just stylin on these mothaf**kahs
no risk for him
true
seems the higher the stakes, the better he gets!
For a humble man with a humble life, there are no risks. Just the spectacle.
Efren Reyes is the OG smurf. Used a fake name to avoid intimidation. GOAT
This man is irreplaceable. The man who've won tons of tournaments international or local competitions. No one can replace him as a GOAT
That one Anime character, Old goofy and looks harmless but a monster who can whoop your ass without braking a sweat
Just like Bunta Fujiwara. Old and looks harmless but, he can drift while lighting a cigarette and not even touching the steering wheel. lol
He's more like Isaac Netero. Damn boy, he gives me chills everytime i watch all of his highlights.
@@user-bx8kn9xq8k you mean at INITIAL D right?? come to think of it...
@@donlee.4308 yeah, it's Initial D.
Senosama
I'm a Filipino and I've only known Efren from books.. I didn't watch any of his clips yet so watching it in the first time, I can't helped but feel amazed
I feel lucky to even hear how famous he was in his prime, wish someone followed him
They used to televise a lot of his tournaments at IBC-13 in the late 90s to early 2000s. My family and I watched many of them and it was amazing to watch every time.
He is a legend. I met him personally a long time ago and believe me, he is one true gentleman. A down-to-earth person. No ego and very humble person.
I met him in hard times cerritos too back 2004 practicing his very humble...
So many younger players who were inspired by him. Better player/s might come but Efren will remain to be a legend. Because of his magic shots, he drew more audience even if theyre not familiar with the game like me.
He played because he loves the game, fame just followed him naturally 😁
fact
he loved it cause there's money in it. That's a fact
@@MiguelSalazar-on5mf lmao, way back when he is a Kid like 9 years old. There is no such thing as MONEY he receives but he still plays, until such time that he growns up and discovered the international game and ofcourse .... who wouldn't want to join that game if you have such talent, the rewards are just bonus. Don't be so salty, okay?😁😂 Baka mas malala ka pa pag makakita ka ng pera🤣
@@MiguelSalazar-on5mf bet you want to be a pool player like him. NOT!
@@pinky-lz4np lol. He actually said it in an interview how he got interested in playing. He saw grown ups get money whenever they win. What do you think made him go to US? To be the best pool player? No. He wanted to gain more money because he also grew up in poverty.
I remember when I met him on a grocery when i am 13yrs old here at Philippines. Me and my uncle didn't bring a phone at that time so we can't take a picture with him but I waved at him and he waved back with a smile truly a humble guy.
Lots of players learned thru his shots and he is very humble. He revolutionized the game.
Efren is the best pool player that ever has been, is and will be. His imagination is unbelievable.
His humility the icing on top
Not trying to be mean Chris but you haven't been around long enough. you think this is the first person that's ever been able to make some of the shots he made.
Baianinho de Mauá mandou um shot out
@@jeffouellette9946 what you failed to realize is that he done most of those shots in a highstake competition.
@@jeffouellette9946 No one said he is the first to ever do them. It's more like consistently doing (creative and risky) shots, even at a highstakes tournament.
Also, there's lesser learning materials during his prime than today. Undoubtedly, new players get better by generation. But to remembered, you have to be the first to do it (consistently) in the eyes of the majority.
Basketball = Michael Jordan
Hockey = Wayne Gretzky
Pool = Efren Reyes
Snooker = Ronnie o sullivan
We have our list in the philippines
Billiards: Efren Reyes
Boxing: Jose Emmanuel Pacquiao
Bowling: Rafael Nepomuceno
Boxing = Pacquiao
Boxing = ali
Pacquiao is really good, but no way he can pass tyson and ali. . But efren does all the damage in every class or lvl in his game.. pacquiao made a good run in boxing. But he cant make a good a match with those two if given a chance to meet them in match.. only efren beaten all pool intl. Plyers.
Had Efren dedicated his life to studying Physics, he would have been today’s Einstein.
Funny when I was a kid I always thought that he smiles like Einstein.
It was believed that his vision can see the angles and vectors which is why he can do this....
@@jayball7520 thats the best thing about honing your inner skills. The moment you master it, you literally can see 30 seconds into the future.
@@janinebelleestrada7096 i have mastered the alphabet but i cant see what the 19th alphabet without going from a again
WTF garbage are you talking about?
I’m lucky I grew up watching him. Whenever he has televised competitions, we made sure to watch all his games. Seeing him getting those impossible shots is one of the highlights of my childhood fangirl. Up until now, he’s still one of my favorite athletes, so humble and down to earth. I wish this generation would have that Efren Bata Reyes of their own.
Yes! He and Django Bustamante.
Let's just say I was Happy That I Had A Pool Team Where The Two Best Shooters In The World Hung There Hat....TACONY BILLIARDS!!
Miss Ya Bata and Django...
PHILLY was/is proud to have you as one of us!!
legends.
Both Filipino and Kapampangans.
@@OM-tu7ei thank you for the correction .all I saw was not there backround but instead their domination of a gold crown!!! Everytime you would open the front door.. you would see Franscico's head snap toward's that direction to see if it was prey coming in... he was always at table#2 which happened to be the front table.... Where the bleachers were at... ALWAYS!! Then of course as our teams would finish in the back bar area and you left you would see them playing against each other's games... time and time again you would see them smile and converse after....
That's awesome
@@jasondoroin2927 sometimes in life you don't know how lucky you teuly are until you the experience no longer ends up being a weekly thing... man... The Stories and people I have met because of a simple pool table... 😏
He looks like my tio from Mexico. I swear, Mexicans and Filipinos are related.
Yes.. mexicans and filipinos are pretty much brothers.. we have the same history.. we were both colonized by the spaniards for a very long time.
@@louieturdanes7977 Yeah, that's why they have Spanish last names like Reyes and Cruz. But it crazy how Mexicans can look asian. Hahahah.
Efren "bata" Reyes is from Mexico, Pampanga,Ph.
they are!!
In Philippines tio or tito means uncle
I'll never tire watching vintage Efren magic. His out-of-this-world shots never fail to give me goosebumps every time!
He calculates everything inside his head in a short amount of time. His skills and experience is way higher than the rest of the players
Sadly, our legend is getting old 😢
That's normal and completely fine. What's important is that while he is still living his legacy to the world of pool also lives
@@pmhernane3903 good thinking bro ..
Everyone does
No worries. He lived his life to the fullest and brought immense joy and awe through his magic on the billiard table. Be happy that we live in his generation.
@@qwertyzxcv123 very well said 👍👍👍
The way he controls the speed of the ball is also amazing. Requires a super precision.
8:01 proves how well he has mastered the angles.
Even his opponent was clapping at that impossible shot.
When Efren always says "Just got lucky, everytime he do trick shots in tournaments."
Me: "Efren is not lucky, the Luck is Efreny."
There are 2 legends on billiard that I know for a fact.The one that invented it, and Efren 'Bata' Reyes himself🇵🇭🙏🎱🏆🙌
Them: We cant solve this , we need someone to make this shot
Efren: Hold my coffee( LITERALY) 😂😂😂
Cringe
😎
Hes a living legend
Them Also: How Did You Do that???
Efren: Lucky and Magic.
More like someone said "give me that coffee"
Since i was a child, me and my grandpa used to watch him play in every tourney... Now im getting older, my grandad is gone and i suppose... Everybody loses against time. Even Efren is no exception, but his story will live on for centuries to come.
Very well said!
I watched his game with my father as a child. It’s an honor to have seen those magic tricks… The GOAT, his legacy will live on. I have so much respect for this man especially with his humility after all these years and he always share his blessings with family and friends … a good soul indeed.
Each amazing shot he answers the interview by, "i got lucky"
Well, if your great and lucky at the same time, you're gonna be hard to beat.
Indeed! I may not understand billiards but I do understand geometry. Reyes understand mathematics superbly in just seconds. His calculations are creative and artistic.
I'm from the Philippines and I remember reading about Efren in our textbooks back in elementary, but i've never seen a pool game.
Seeing him play made me appreciate how amazing he is.
The Magician and the only 8 World Division Boxing Champion nicknamed Pacman are both great, humble, and friendly folks that we will never forget! Thank you Filipinas for these two GOAT!
You didn't show the part on the first clip where the 2 time worldpool champion secure and keep the q stick after Efren made that shot. What a legend
Youre OG if you started faking names just to find an opponent
Lmfao
He's smurfing bruh🤣
Lol 😆😆😆
The OG catfish.. 🤣🤣
He's like that Wizard Emperor from black clover tbh... XD
The true legend in Philippines and remains humble up to this date. RESPECT!
Even his opponents calls him GOAT. What a legend, we are lucky to watch such a legend like him.
The legend who has no bashers!
No haters nor bashers, no controversies... Just a humble and unassuming man... What a legend
You're wrong about no bashers..why? Ask Earl Strickland 😅😅😅
czcams.com/video/yzMgi5laV9k/video.html
@@Thevoicexp I do think they're really good friends behind the scene.
Probably Nick Varner and Johnny Archer.
the switch from being a spectator to participate in the game was so fast .
though he already knew what to do because he was watching the game before given the cue stick to shoot means he is a step ahead of everyone
And that one is absolutely terrifying, imho.
The impressive thing about it is his viewing angle. How can he think of where to pocket it when he is looking from the other side, in mere seconds. Mindblowing!
The Man... The Myth... THE LEGEND
Literally
Forget the difficult shot: the fact that he was also open to the next ball which is 7 makes it a million times more difficult
A full version of Brilliance yet calling it as a pure luck...he is literally down to earth...
My all-time favorite pool player
So humble, yet so great!
Hands down to our country's pride!
Efren "Bata" Manalang Reyes OLD PLH (born August 26, 1954) is a Filipino professional pool player. A winner of over 100 international titles, Reyes was the first player to win the WPA World Championships in two different pool disciplines. Among his numerous titles, Reyes is a four-time World Eight-ball champion, a WPA World Nine-ball champion, a three-time U.S. Open winner, a two-time World Pool League winner, and a thirteen-time Derby City Classic winner. Reyes also represented the Philippines at the World Cup of Pool, winning the event with his partner Francisco Bustamante in 2006 and 2009. By defeating American player Earl Strickland in the inaugural Color of Money event in 1997, Reyes took home the largest single match purse in pool history of $100,000. Many analysts, fans, and players consider Reyes to be the greatest pool player of all time.[1]
He just mastered the law of physics...⚛️⚛️⚛️
god of protractor
Applied Physics, Trigonometry and Geometry...and a very powerful mind.
I swear! Efren at 70's and 80's is a monster..... You may challenge him but you cannot beat him.....
The story about Efren's humility is true at its core. He's one of the people I admire when I was a kid and admire even now. A true sportsman without a shed of arrogance.
It Never gets old the thrill that he gives to the people watching him play .
He's a national treasure and highly regarded in my books
This grandpa is just too cute, and ofcourse Skilled! Now that's an understatement cant find a better word though
Yes. That is why hes being called as "bata" or kid because of his aura and smile
Yes, i can agree that he's cute. His face looks like a kid. That's why he was named BATA "kid" in filipino.
My father challenged Efren back in the 70s. They played snooker , my dad was confident he could best the regional champion... Suffice to say he lost 2 grand that night.
@@maosama3695 If I had 2 grand to spare, I would definitely give it all up just to have a match with the Greatest Of All Time
the guy who sleeps at the billiard table when he was a kid.
every stroke, every shot he made. he's already seen it in his dreams
Forever young Efren BATA Reyes. Loved by all and during the Seagames 2019 held in Phil he was one of the legendary and iconic athletes who carried the Seagames flag. When his name was called people cheered for him the loudest and surely people at their homes too. He's like your gentle and humble Lolo. He competed even though he has shoulder injury. He's our champion and treasure as well. Mabuhay ka Ka-Efren!💖
So many people got inspired to play pool because of efren and im one of those🤣🍻
Me too.
Same here
Likewise.
Hahahah same
Same i got addicted to pool
He is the Michael Jordan of billards or MJ is the Efren Reyes of basketball. But efren is under appreciated, he needs more recognition. The Z shot man
No bro! Michael Jordan is the efren reyes of basketball. Efren already slaying players since the 70’s!
The most humble person i have known. In every game, for him winning is only a bonus. He was just wanted to challenge himself and wanted to share his talent and skill.
That "Z SHOT" will never be forgotten.
I'm so glad someone recorded that video!
Imagine all the undocumented shots he made on his prime. 70’s to late 80’s
Probably the greatest sportsman ever that know one has even heard of.
A great role model for all athletes and celebrities in general ❤
He’s the greatest. A true legend.
Our MAGICIAN is getting older. Tsk2 Praying he'll still have more years to entertain us with his NATURAL BEST SKILLS.
Im sorry but hes retired. He only play gambling
He's a cool guy, humble, talented, amazing, down to earth man, kind and i really adore his smile whenever he won a match
he's like a math/physics genius but instead of solving complex problems on paper he's doing it real time with a more hands on approach.
Simply the Greatest pool player ever, I can't even imagine being that special
The most humble Filipino athlete....
Also Pacquiao imo
@@jonasvigueras685 wished Pacquiao stayed put in boxing. Politics ruined his reputation although he's still a sports legend no matter what. It just leaves a bad taste.
Wrong, it is Casimero 😂
I have a picture whit Efren whit the coffe and the bag after that shot. XP
Where can i see it? You were there? Here for you... czcams.com/users/shortseK_EqP0RVfE
I'm jealous...
I see efren everyday... he's my neighbor

U forgot the tissue paper on his hand
Some call him Magician. I call him LEGENDARY BILLIARD GURU. There may be no one like him over the next century. PROFESSIONALLY - HUMBLE.
He is one in a million. I have not seen another pool player with so much intelligence in the game like him.
He is the only G.O.A.T who doesn't have haters that compare him to any other player
I don't hate Efren Reyes but no one can prove that there's not been somebody out there that is just as equal. I've made the craziest shots out there also.
@@jeffouellette9946 he plays in a highly competitive match bro I believe it's harder to do crazy shots in competitive tournaments
@@neilsapno919 absolutely no doubt there. When you do it in competition versus just hitting balls around that's a big difference.
No more than 2 weeks have I known this man but the algorithm is doing me too much justice
Kim, jung un... you lost alot of weight man... good job.
Such a humble, very down to earth person who doesn't show off. No one can beat a great man.
I have watched this video so many times, this is my first time noticing he still had his sandwich paper on his left hand when he took the shot :D Thanks OP! :D That was cool!
Liquid nitrogen flows in them veins. Cool crisp and always always classy. Even if the other guy throws shit, he’s always a cut above the rest. A galaxy and a dimension away from everyone else. The greatest of all time. 🎱🥢the icon of billiards for a thousand years. Efren Reyes.
It's always a pleasure to watch Efren 'the magician' play
Hes a Philippine Legend. Down to earth.🤩👋🇵🇭
"The Magician"
I don't understand this sport but everytime a compilation of his games comes to my recommendations I watch it, never fails to amaze me every time
he was actually born on a pool table, grew up under and play on the corners. he even slept and eat on the pool table. in short, it was his life. but other than that he is incredibly genius and talented.
In basketball people are arguing who's the best Jordan ir Lebron
In Boxing Muhamad Ali or other Tyson, Leonard, Pacquiao or Robinson
But in Billiard its non negotiable its non arguable it's only one Efren Reyes.
Basketball : Jordan
Boxing: PacMan
Billiard: Reyes
Ervin Mari, indeed
true
He can be seen walking along the road here in Angeles City. Humility + skill = the Magician
The most humble person ive known, he is a regular player in the billiard just beside our small canteen when i was like 8 yrs old, whenever he arrives, expect the place to be crowded and loud, those times are gold
Efren is the reason why I join billiard club in my school.
0:49 he even did not drop the sandwhich wrapper in his left hand and go for a shot without a second thought, that's truely a MAGICIAN
And not even chalk the cue stick
Doesn't wanna be fined for littering
and also his bag
Also he did it using his left hand, not his dominant hand
And i am literally going bacj to watch again😂😂😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Love this video. A wonderful tribute to the Magician.
Everytime someone interview him.
He always say "He just lucky" 🤣
That cue stick that he kept is worth a lot of money in near future...
Just imagine his brilliant shots not covered by camera in his prime.the greatest indeed!
he is the OG of pool... mad respect for him.. i grew up watching his matches in the TV... always amazed me.
His talent and humility are extremes. He is extremely talented and extremely humble. Nobody in this world just like him. He’s one of a kind.
