I played Efren in 2017; the game was the best three out of five in nine ball. Of course he beat me and I enjoyed it. - - - If you are ever in the Huntsville Alabama area just stop by Steve's Cue and Grill - - - as you walk in you will see a picture of Efren and I on the left just outside the entrance of my cue repair shop - - - I'm there every week, if I'm not in my shop just walk up to the bar and look to your right - - - I am normally setting at the first table having coffee or unsweetened tea if I am not teaching someone how to shoot pool - - - if you shoot pool, since I own all the Diamond pool tables in the bar, the table time will be on me and I will let you break!
Watching Efren is like watching a master at work, always a joy, and an education. It´s just incredible how someone from his lowly background, with an average break, no power draw, a cheap cue, and no gloves or jump cue can make the game of pool seem so beautiful and mesmerising. Like Roger Federer in tennis Efren plays the game the way it´s meant to be played, with touch and subtlety, using the angles to set and escape safeties. I always thought jumping your way out of snookers is just cheating.
Someone needs to tell one of the commentators to please stop using the the mundane “YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW”. How repetitive can yo be? I hope you are not being paid much by the sponsors. PLEASE, PLEASE stop. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="73">1:13</a>:38
Respectfully, I highly recommend investing some nicer microphones. I generally watch your videos on mute because the narrating is of such low sound quality.
As usual, by game 7 Strickland is already acting impetuous, waving his hand in disgust as the break doesn't go his way. He'll be looking for someone in the audience who sneezes now to scapegoat.
Same with earl at 18:00, plays a legal safe then still shot right after, i dont understand. Or maybe thats the old rule if you announce a pocket and miss and get an unwanted safe, opponent has the option to give back
different rules unlike what we are used to, if an intended shot is missed without calling safe and is played as though it was a safeguard in the event of missing, then the opponent has the right to pass on his turn
