EFREN REYES vs LARRY NEVEL - 2004 DERBY CITY CLASSIC ONE POCKET DIVISION 

Sad Larry is no longer with us. He had tremendous talent.

"Your landlord wants you to play safe" - Danny D. quote of the match.

Always good to see those older Efren matches. Larry was a great player and what a powerful break in 9 ball and short rack bank pool RIP Larry Nevel. What a great guy. Thanks Pat and Accu-Stats

Danny is the most argumentative know it all ever. Even when he's completely wrong he just says well he had options instead of admitting he was completely wrong after saying he was certain

Super combination at 1:01:18

Nevel’s runout in game two was excellent!

"You can bet your sweet bippy" was a line used on the Rowan and Martin show. "Bippy" means ass or butt.

Great shot and amazing runout from 16:13 !!!

48:07 won't make the career Highlight Reel for Efren, but this was a fantastic shot in a sticky situation.

Yeah, the little dink contest. You don't play Balk Line with a master of the game. I totally agree with your 9/10 assessment. And the one of ten part would most likely be an execution error, not a knowledge error. I still maintain that this one of Efren's supreme strengths, being SO very good at so very many table, stick, and ball games, one of the most beneficial, especially in strategic wars being three cushion. When you can not only hit balls on one or two rail kicks at very high percentage, but hit them where you want to on the ball, and knowing the resultant paths so well, that is a MASSIVE advantage. Much of the 'magician' came from that, IMO. I am certainly no expert, but that is what I saw. I think I saw him pick up a jump cue maybe twice in all the matches I've watched him play. "I don't see any advantage here" when the guy is setting up and down on the shot, and then immediately after the shot is completed, "Wow, that is a great shot". Yeah, I hate that. :-) And then Danny reiterates, "Good shot". One of those 'can we go back and edit that first comment out' moments. And what's worse is that there is no way to have that NOT happen every once in a while. If Nevel doesn't play bank pool, he should. That was pretty impressive, two of those back to back. Having that backboard ball down there helps, and actually here, helped, but still. Three long banks in a row (attempts/completions, with another shot in between) is just nuts. Man, Efren can turn a very good break around in one or two shots. "He's playing well, he deserves a bit of a roll". Like that matters. I have seen no correlation there, in my experience.

*LOVE SEEING VIDEOS WITH THE "SARDO TIGHT RACK"!* _WONDER IF IT COULD RACK, A RACK OF 10 BALL?_

*THAT LOOKS LIKE EFREN IS PLAYING WITH A JUDD FULLER CUE* *JUDD WAS COMMISSIONED TO MAKE A 60" CUE, 12MM, AT 17-18 OUNCES, FOR THE MAGICIAN, BACK IN HISTORYYY*

Great theme music!

Scott Smith is one of those guys that can always figure out a way to keep talking. Someone please take the microphone away from him.

*WATCHING POOL ON GREEN IS SO MUCH EASIER ON THE EYES. ABSORBS THE LIGHT AND WE DON'T HAVE THE GLARE FROM THE BLUE* _AND OF COURSE WE HAVE THE PROPER COLORED BALLS - TO NUMBER SET_

Larry Legend

I can't believe I didn't made the premier!

Why can't they keep the correct score ?

May I ask what's the rule in here? I may not understand how this goes.

Efren is so fluid with the cue. Watching Efren, pool becomes art.

Efren Reyes is not the best pool player ever, he's one of the best pool players but the best was Alfredo de Oro and Jerome koehe
