Efren "BATA" Reyes - THE MASTER OF CREATIVITY 

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

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

being good enough to do it. Being confident enough to do it in a tournament. Legend

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.

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.

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.

Efren Reyes is a real magician

In this narcissistic world of chest beating in other sports, his humble body language and reactions is what’s so great to see.

Just another current day for the Magician's . Respect from Brazil, we love Filipas pool masters

efren reyes is a great player with some tricks which, he deserves to be called a legend 🔥🔥

EFREN REYES ES DE OTRO PLANETA, SALUDOS DESDE PERÚ 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪

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.

The Master. The Magician. The GOAT! 👍 God Bless you sir Efren.

This man is hands✋ down!!! Amazing! His last shot was executed well.

Legend never die

The greatest of all time 🐐 Just like Cristiano & leomessi in football 🐐

The world would not b able to produce another magician like him

Maestro que hermosas partidas como me gustaría aprender ajugar. Como UD.

Love the pool, hate the actors making faces. Keep it REAL, please.

The Magician! I love to watch him play and if I could play half as well as Efren does, I would be so happy.

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.

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.

Goat of billiards nobody is remotely close to this man

Filipina selalu melahirkan legenda..pertama..tinju dan biliard..good....salam dari indonesia..

Efren is the "Pelé" of snooker. Awesome player! Hugs from Brazil. 🇧🇷

Ayos talaga manuod sa channel na to. Di mo na kelangan panuorin ng buo. Nasa simula agad yung dapat mong mapanuod 😂

The Michael Jordan of pool. No one has ever played better or more beautiful.

The GOAT Efren Reyes!

Wow 😍 epic shot. Love your technique Sir 🙏🙌👏🔥 I like your skill in shooting the ball, legend🔥👏🙌🏆

hello all i'm from indonesia

The first shot is pure sorcery

How does he even do that 😱

Efren Bata Reyes, the Magician as well as the script and the narrator are excellent!!!

imagine you saw a Thumbnail clicked the video and the first clip was actually the clip from the Thumbnail. just happened to me

thats the grand master's skill

😆～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😄

Efren Bata Reyes is a wizard because the balls obey him...

Me facina ver al MAGO Efrén “BATA” Reyes.

that almost hit the cue ball! what an end shot.

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.

He would be the one that you call "Visioner".

😲😲😲.ese 10 estuvo épico. Que sangre fría para haser esa jugada. El patrón bata

Well calculated move 😍 that's how GOAT Efren Bata Reyes is.

When this guy plays he makes ppl smile talk about knowing how to enjoy the game.

incredible shots:::Efren Reyes!!!!

This kid going to be great one of these days. Keep practicing. Practice, practice and practice.

You can’t even be this creative and reality bending in a video game

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

The real King of Sports never die💓

To say he is a legend is an understatement

that silence when efren do that .... you know something magical is about to happen

Living legend of billiards 😍

I cant believe he did that when the score was already 6 to 6. Crazy confidence

Watching people doing amazing stuff like this makes me realize how worthless my life is.

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.

Walang kaparis...more power. Blessings 😊
