Efren Reyes vs Billy Thorpe - Bank Pool - 2023 Derby City Classic rd 9 

Good commentary Scott, I like a single person commentary. 👍

Commentary is absolutely exceptional!!

That's the best pool commentary I've heard! Also, not having seen this level bank pool, I had assumed a higher percentage of pots. So there's hope for the mediocre among us!

The knowledge on the commentary is very nice with the complexities of a game like this

God bless me with having to see this beautiful match while hearing Mr. Scott's great and ASMR-ish commentary. What a treat. 👏👏👏

Efren knows and plays so many discipline of pool/billiards, it is amazing really

First time watching a bank game didnt even know it was a thing till now. Very long game. Great commentary.

Wow. Thanks for this video. Great commentary.

What a time to be alive! Grateful for you all. cheers!

Hypnotizing commentary. 10/10

Never knew bank pool was a thing. Fun to watch!

I always enjoy watching Efren play, and Billy is excellent at banking for sure.

Frost doing commentary and playing in the background at same time haha

Scott, I am relatively new to the Derby, and I just have to say that I have watched alot of billiards, snooker and others. I am so impressed with your natural commentary, on the fly assessment, and 'accurate' judgement of the mindset of the players during the matches, Superb brother!

What a treat

Thanks Scott great job.

The Efren highlight clips have spoiled us ! Never seen him "miss" so many shots ...

That was a hell of a match

Such a treat for all of us to have Scott commentating these great matches!

Efren is my favorite player.

Scott, your commentary is so natural and informative, it tells a live and flowing story during the game, I hope the people signing your checks realize that!

Great players, great shots, and great commentary. Thanks Scott.

Nice To watch 👏👏🌷🙏

Amazing game 👏🏾

EFREN REYES IS THE LEGENDARY PLAYER IN THE WORLD ❤❤❤

Wow! Great game.

Scott, your commentary is great bro, thank you

Thanks Scott, nice channel happy new year 2024

Efren your still the greatest player of all time in my opinion

great stuff

Mr. Efren looks like A master Billiards 🎱 Boss off a video game almost impossible to beat

The MASTER Efren Pata, a fan from AUK NZ.❤😊🎉.🎉..

find the "BEST" 69 year old pool player anywhere and put them both in a game with Efren !

Yesss more bank pool videos plz

Bank pool, Thorpe, Reyes, and The Freezer announcing. What more can you ask for in one video?

Scott frost should just go into radio with that voice

Billy Thorpe's tune *Children of the Sun* is so badass 😄

Man oh man...I despise these pockets😣 ..but ALWAYS a treat to watch the 🐐 Reyes on a table☝😎👍

The number of times i said got dayum when billy made a ball... he is truly something else entirely

I'm glad guy on couch was able to talk me through this m

That Three ball bank to the side Mr. Thorpe did from just above the corner @ about 7:00 was sweet. I have a couple of those posted and off the end rail too.

Damn , that is a big table.

Lovely video

After the first two racks, I thought it'd be a whitewash and then I remembered it was Efren.... And there was plenty of time bar left lol😊

Hell of a good match! As always The Freezer is great company for any occasion.

Efren is a wise man he knows the bigger price.

Nice match. I will remember Billy Thorpe.

Great commentary

Top-notch commentary on a fabulous game per usual.

Just watching HIS game So much and I’m young 66-year-old man From New York City Has Improved My Game So Much! I love watching him

I own a Diamond Professional table, and suck as a pool player, but LOVE playing banks by myself. Billy is awesome!!

What are they doing under the left side of the table when they swap turns??

I’m just here cause Rogan said the dude Efren is the GOAT

I've never seen this format before. I used to play alot in my youth but this is neat. I figure it gets boring and easy being a pro, this being invented to challange good players. I put lots of hours in pool halls, i kiss it. Efren still playing is amazing, i remember him when he had dark hair

I wish Efren would open a pool school to to pass his skill.

I love to watch bank shot pool

Efren is a Goat in Billiard Game but because of his age and bad shoulder, he has difficulty to play the game already. If he is still in his prime tgis game is easy win for him.

Great commentator!

My favorite game is bank shot only. The rules are bank shot the ball you hitting or the cue ball must hit 2 rails. And call your shot. This will make you a better player

We need a Scott and JJ duo on all matches.

GEEZ, how does anyone beat Thorpe when he's playing like that in those first two games? A pro master class, there. Billy's later four railer was a thing of beauty. "He's body Englished that ball straight into the hole". How come that virtually never works for me, not in ANY sport? :-) That two holding up on Efren in the corner, 4th game, really surprised me. They were playing tight for new cloth, that's for sure. Jaw those balls much at all and they just stand proud. At 2-0 I said to my wife that even Efren was probably cooked, unless he really came alive and Billy went cold...should have known better. To the hill-hill point, anyway. Thanks for the commentary, Scott, and yeah, Rail birds does a great job for a relatively shoestring operation, especially. I gave you the like, and I don't hand those out like candy. Fun match, including the safety work. Lengthen with a high cue ball? Now that is NOT what I would expect. I would expect the opposite. I'm going to have to work that one out, from a physics standpoint.

Billy Thorp is tough to beat. Grate players both.

Great for tv pool.

Scott, are you just doing these commentaries for your channel or are these events you are hired to commentate? You are really good!

Diamond tables are the most unpredictable I've ever played. 1 rail always plays differently than the others.

Grand Master of Billiards vs Bank Master.

I laugh when he says he hit it thick when the term I thought was fat

Listen my aunt had a bar back in the late 80’s and old dudes that played or hustled pool for a living did this exact same thing let young guys build a nice deficit and build their confidence and at the very end start picking them apart and come back and win every time I asked the old dude what happens if they don’t miss one time when the deficit is at its highest he said after the break and how the balls land I can pin point what shots he will most likely miss this is what he said 🤷🏾‍♂️

It’s strange on how he racked and broke... need to learn the rules to this style, I’m ready to play.

This is for the elite players lol

Billy Banks does it again

Announcer says it looks so easy when they do it. What is he talking about. They are missing all over the place😂

I feel like I am either really good at bamking or these to don't want to claim it.

Love banks

bank pool looks liek a game i never wanna play

I’ll never forget when Alex P was bustin your ass at one pocket and you were mad as hell Mr. Scott Frost

Adding hitting one ball on to another to pot it would speed up games and make it more interesting, maybe. Thoughts….

Why are blocking the picture with your sd.?

🌷🌷👏👏🙏🙏

What cue is Efren using?

I thought the master ER jr. retired!

Commentator sound like the guy in the US. MASTERS golf think jim nance is his name but not hundrd sure ❤

At 14:00, why doesn't the rail-first carom count as a point in bank pool? What is the rule far a point... No?

i ha e never seen this tipe of pool play can someone please explain

Oof, I'd suck at this game. The speed is SO important, bcz obviously it affects the ball's trajectory. Why I think they are hitting kinda hard, bcz speed consistency is key to knowing where it'll go.

Efren turned 69 in august 2023.

6:28 lol

Nice match. Billy is very accurate in those bank shots. Very happy to see the legend still enjoying playing pool! Whatever the score is, i just want to see Efren play.

Wouldn't this be much more entertaining with an overhead view of the table??

Are combos kicks and caroms not allowed in bank pool?

In game 3, @ 36:15, why does Billy give Efren the ball he made?

Please explain to me How did he won game 1?

Hows-come Scott Frost sounds more like Hugh Hewett, than Hugh Hewett?

Just like SVB if you don't like the commentary you can shut the sound off!

why are they hammering the cross-sides ?? play smooth = more accuracy... well

Children of The Sun

is that your brother in The Red Shoes????

Efren Reyes best player ever he IS GOAT.

That Diamond table is lop side left corner pocket, cant even rack it properly.
