At 69 that is amazing. Have been following him for 23 years. Master!!
efren is no joke...he can take down anybody despite his age 69 yrs old....a MASTER is always a MASTER....period....
It's always something special to watch an exceptional talent like Efren perform. Especially at that age. I had the priviledge to meet him briefly in Germany. He is not only the GOAT in pool billiards but also a very humble and likeable human being. Thank you for sharing and commenting!
Efren is just a special kind of man cannot ever count him out
Efren shooting a lot of strong shots towards the end.. love to see it
The GOAT👌🏼
The Amazing Magician Efren Bata Reyes…a legend & a Filipino 🤩 age is just a number wow 🤩
efren cant retire. he might not be 100% but he still performs better than 99% of the world
This new yong guys have the opportunity to play with Reyes , which is an honor , plus learning in person why they call magic man , 69 wow still unbelievable. You're the greatest Reyes.
Its nice to see Efren play again!
Age is only a number 💪
Efren resembles one of those old Kung-Fu Masters from the movies of the 70's. Always respected and honored but also feared by all the discipels of his craft. He is indeed the Master and the GOAT of Pool.
@chrisvand2678,
Yes, Efren has grown into the appearance of a Kung-fu sifu and he is a sifu just a different sort of art. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁
Efren Reyes cheated!!!!!
Such a pleasure to see and know that an older man can hang on to his faculties as well as Efren has.
😅😅😅😅😊
@@Hank--Mardukas What is that supposed to mean?
I have most of my faculties and I'm eighty years old. Most people think I'm younger. Efren is only 69 here. I never see age as a barrier to playing good pool. Efren is proof.
You are right age does'nt matter as long as you can still play🎉
Efren Reyes exhibits an exceptional level of skill. It's always a pleasure to watch him play. Thanks for show us his unbelievable talent! 👏👏👏 Greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
Dude, he's not 85! I'm sure 69 seems old to you but I've got friends on Harleys at 80 years old, one just turned 81. In other words, 69 does not mean you're in a nursing home yet!
Old is gold … 😂
Awesome commentary by both Mark and Scott🎉
Mean as.....still showing um at his age, the master and his apprentice
It is an honor, I think to be a ble to play with Efren Reyes being a Master of Masters . AURAPHIL thanks for sharing. GOD bless!
What a freaking legend, his stroke is so distinct, creates an impression that balls are moving in a slow motion
Efren,still our billiards champs...Mabuhay ang Pinoy..
A pleasure watching reyes Play
Efren is living proof that you don't need power to have a good break shot.
you do if theres a 3-point rule for the break
??? Efren's never been known for his break. He is known for his magic cue action though. Abra kadabra alacazam...At 70 he's still putting em away
Efren's Level of Knowledge about the game is absolute unbelievable. Unfortunately - due to his age - he is no longer as consistent as he was in his prime. Everyone is talking about his kicking skills and shots like the "Z"-Shot, but in my opinion his real strength also lies in this very unique "little" shots with the exact right amount of spin and tempo that nobody on earth can play like him. A lot of the viewers don't even realize the uniqueness of these shots because you need some own experience to detect the difference. By watching him in this way, you can learn more than in any other way. Thank you, Efren! I hope I get to see many more of your games.
❤
Yeah. That shot that he played, think it was the 6. The stun he used to get in between the 8 and 9 with middle stun. Not a lot of players think like that. Let alone can execute it.
just to add, he's shot selection is not typical or straight forward. but when he makes the shot it will all makes sense, opens up the table or make it a lot easier.
Go go idol Efren to be strong ❤️❤️❤️❤️ god 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 bless you always
Great job guy’s Frost always have me FROZEN 🥶 HAPPY TO BE FROZEN 🥶 WITH NO FROST BITES
Bravo and great performance Efren(Bata) Reyes 🎉🎉🎉 you did it well 🎉
Actually, Efren and I were both 68 at the time that this tournament was played. It's always in January and our birthdays are in mid-august and late August. He's 10 days younger than I am.
My up tje street best buddy had a pool table.
We would have available 10 sick days in highschool. We took of each Monday, go to the new bowlimg alley to play pool. We played teams aganst the older local players. I had a knack for the game, and we would stomp the other pair. The looser pays, so we played all morning winning. It was so fun!
I miss thoughs days back in the late 1970's
. We should went for so pro game. Just "fun"..!!
Efren is always a pleasure to watch .
Alternating breaks is stupid. It eliminates putting 2,3, or even 4 packs on your opponent. You should have the chance to keep your opponent in their seat if you happen to catch that gear. Just like in straight pool when you go on long runs.
Efren Bata Reyes is the greatest because the balls obey him.❤😊
This a match when a master teaches a prodigy! A Very good game for Efren at 69 years of age…. and coupled with a very good commentators…. keep it up Efren… rooting for you as always…. make another milestone in your career when you win this edition of Derby Classic at 69… 💪🙏🤞👍
Great commenting duo! Please do more in the future
Yes! That's my idol, Efren Reyes, the magician. Gotta love the guy ❤❤❤
Felt Like Shane Beat Himself at Times during the Match. Mr. Reyes is Always in the Game because of His Knowledge and Skill.
Efren reyes bata the magician!!! Nothing more to prove !!! Congratulations, exceptional player of all time ❤
Put some respect, Efron is 60+! Rack for him!
69
Fantastic Dual commentary!
I will.always be the avid fan of yours idol Efren ! Hurray!Hurray!Hurray!
I would say the same thing about Reyes that Rempe did about Strickland "if I'm up 8-2 in a race to 9 and he has ball in hand ... I don't like my chances"
No love for the shot at 46:50? Efren studies it for a bit... then makes not one ball, but two... while breaking up a cluster... and getting shape. Just another day at the office, I guess!
Amazing efren
Let’s hope Shane gets some practice in before the mosconi.
👍😘 N I C E ❤️👏
Mark "Gabby" White's ok, during the Puerto Rico games, yet I think Scott all by himself is best.
All time great takes care of business 😊
Shane should learn to check the rack when efren is racking the balls.
Our Great man, call The Goat
God bless PHILIPPINES
To what The Freeze just said, in a way, the leave doesn’t matter if you don’t pot the object.
at 30:55 Scott frost mentions that they are using more stun/draw/outside english nowadays to avoid skids? is this a true fact? i thought that "skids" or "kicks" were just a factor in the cleanliness of the the two balls at the contact point.
This is always an interesting subject when discussed as there are so many different opinions on what a skid is and what causes them
The GOAT
TUNAY MA WALANG MAKAKATALO KAY EFREN BATA REYES, CONGRATULATIONS KABAYAN, ❤❤❤
the man was explaining the rack and said that the 2 ball was NOT to be placed at the back of the rack.but that is where Efren put the 2 ball,
Truly the GOAT, at 69yrs old with a bad shoulder can still beat USA Mosconi Cup members! Or the other way to look at it, no wonder USA got trashed in the Mosconi 2023 cuz 2 of their members still can get beat by a 69 yr old with a bad shoulder! 😄
Where did this match happe
The TRUE GOAT of the GAME
My idol keep safe "the magician"
I want to see this…. See what we can expect from Shane Wolford when he is at the Mosconi Cup representing team USA.
Another loss, Shane is all we have, Bergman won't leave St Louis
Strickland
@@billysikes1374I’ve heard that about Bergman, too. That sucks because we could use him.
@@djamo1969 he's totally happy just making money there
More misses like you saw here.
Never, NEVER, count out the G.O.A.T.
I'm FL
The "man" doesn't matter. There is no "bear down"... just do what you do
LOSER BREAKS should be the RULE for all match games. Would make every match way more competitive, and eliminates those ludicrous situations where a great player loses a match helplessly watching as their opponent breaks and runs out.
It's not fair.What if the loser breaks and cleans the table till the end to win the match?
It looked like Efren enlarged the break box a little, lol
EFREN REYES STILL 💯 PERCENT, KING OF BILLIARDS TABLE
Can someone tell me when is his next match and where can I watch it ?
It’s funny; I’ve been watching Efren for so long now, I almost always root for the opponent. You go, Bata!!! Still the GOAT.
Thanks for the narrative. Scott Frost could do ASMR videos. Is this tournament using smaller pockets? I think it changes the game and not for the better as these players have taken tens of thousands of shots with different size pockets.
Gk ada lawan memang luar biasa Efren umur BKN halangan mata jg BKN halangan good job Efren Reyes mau muda tua mainnya sama seperti 40thn yg lalu
I could argue with Mark and Scott all day....alternate break??? really??? Efrens shoulder??? Really??? I still love listening to the commentary though...I keep up with Efren in the betting rooms in the Philippines, he's a threat to whoever challenges. He can't be counted out... ever
I like billiards, what do you think about my DIY billiard table?
If Efren's break was working this match be over
Efren is my favorite player though.
Congrats idol Efren "Bata" Reyes the pride of Philippines..👏🏻🥰🥰🥰
May team pride na naman dito??!?!?
The Greatest of all time efren Bata reyes.
It's confusing if the rules say you can't rack the 2 in the back of the rack why is everybody racking the 2 in the back of the rack don't that change the whole dynamic of the break and therefore the dynamic of the game or am I missing something?
Winner should break under the condition his or her final shape off the 9 ball leaves the cue ball in the break box. Otherwise, the other player gains the break.
haha that's funny. A lot of times when playing 9 ball, when I shoot the 9 I would try to put the cue ball back in the break position, just for fun. I like making it a rule!
the GOAT Efren Bata Reyes ❤
there's three minuets left in the video the party's over lol.
God bless the legend Efren Reyes still a great player at 69 years old.
Efren sharking with the 2 ball on every break. 😂
Nobody will tell him anything since there's no refs. GOAT benefits.
What's the difference between a push out ball and a snooker..are they the same..curious and following from New Zealand..Hello world😂😂..
We're completely outnumbered with regards to the Mosconi Cup. IMO, it should be based on citizenship.
Efren is the "Yoda" of pool 😍
Also the Michael Jordan of pool :)
Playing against Efren at the age of 69 can be bad news whether you beat him or not, because if you beat him it's because his old and past his prime, it's even worse if he beats because that means you can't even beat the old efren
i see on rack4 the commentator talking about that 2 ball again. i dont know what to think. i think he is confused.
It is stated in the rule at Derby City, and was also mentioned at the players meeting. But a lot of players don't read the rules, and don't show up for the players meetings. A lot of players either don't know about the rule, or don't care. Occasionally you'll see someone point it out to their opponent when they rack it like that, but most of the time they just let it go, and don't care.
I think 3 more years He will Retired 😊
Pool God!
New here
Efren is a master of all plays … and the forgotten “Foward” float which seems forgotten today
Enjoyed the video, had to turn audio babbel off.😂
34:18 he said what
What a nice move on Efren Bata Reyes I nkow he finish the game
Efren missed a easy shot but despite of his age he is a big obstacle to those want to be a winner 😢
Agree: I very much agree with “cathy”
Frost should only
commentate by himself! It seems like he loses all sense of the game.
Only one exception was when he paired with JJ on a one pocket match.But that was only once.
The best commentators do it alone.
Earl,JJ,Scott,Josh R.and Mark Wilson.
There are No others.
And all these guys should be alone.
A commentator should be someone you can learn from. If you don’t learn from them, you really would be better off to turn the sound off. Try it.
And then concentrate on the shots. You will be amazed at your
improvements.
adios
Please give Efren more respect, after all he is the G.O.A.T...Regardless of age.
This is the guy that is going to represent USA. It's so crazy how much better they are than us
Shane can't beat a 70yr old efren.... He shouldn't be in mosconi
Scott Frost, you are an old fool to think that Master Efren Reyes has lost his touch at aged 69? Efren Reyes is the best pool player the world had ever seen, period.
I love the sport but I gotta say I thought that was Shane Gillis
Scott or Mark, has Efren ever competed in Snooker ?
He did compete in snooker matches bc his country said so , and he won the match against young ronnie in 1991 they played a money game and Efren won all four - six games ( frames ) even ronnie said it in his twitter
Yes sir. He did in the Southeast Asian Games upon the request of the Philippines Government although he rarely plays this game. He also played Ronnie S. Here's the link en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efren_Reyes#:~:text=Efren%20Manalang%20Reyes%20OLD%20PLH,the%20challenging%20one%2Dpocket%20discipline.
Yes he does ...way back when nobody is playing snooker in the Philippines....he represented the country in a tournament.....that's long time ago....
In a 2019 tweet, seven time Snooker World Champion Ronnie O' Sullivan said that Reyes was "the only person to ever out hustle me on a snooker table"
