@@tonyc3382 i was used to see him play in the big tournaments in which he is not anymore joining because he is semi-retired.. i miss him joining those big tournaments..
Efren is such a sweet and humble man. His equipment compared to other pros make him seem like an amateur but he's the worlds best pool player. There's a lot to be said for that! It might be that he comes from a less privileged background and learned to get by with what he can get, and appreciate what he has. A true sportsman of the game and will be sorely missed now that he has retired.
ive watched this at least 5 times now lol i just love seeing how he has the very basics of supplies and doesnt even carry an extra shaft. Skill at its best, no need for fancy gadgets.
Amazing, he's the best but has the least amount "stuff" inside that case. Sand paper and a sharpening tool. Pretty cool to see that simplicity has yielded such triumph.
+JackoDiaz Most of them haven't spent any time in an English speaking country. But I'd like to see how those criticizing Efren's English speak Tagalog. I'm guessing not very good.
JackoDiaz exactly it's pool if he can't speak English at all who gives a shit .it's not mandatory to speak English for shit sake and yes it's Christmas and I'm watching pool matches and interviews why because i love the game
JackoDiaz Efren knows so much about pool and he is a smart man, why would the powers that be want to limit what he can communicate to us by having him speak in a language that is not his first language? When someone as great as Efren is speaking, there should always be a translator to maximize what he's willing to share with us. Why tie his hands? He is certainly worthy of a translator!!!
This man is a true genius!!! Just watching him play is a privilege... thank god i was lucky enough to enjoy him playing, even if he's not at his best of times, 5/5 thx for uploading this.
is this info accurate and true? can I get his store name please, I want to order one, this is a piece of history, i'll travel to the Philippines and have this stick signed, this will be great!
laptrip yung pulbo, napaka resourceful its an a big proof that achieving big things wont depend on how much you invest in your equipments but rather the skill and attitude
greatest pool player of all time, and looking at what he carries, you would think he was a average league player lol--goes to show you just how good the guy is..........
Well SVB is #1 ranked now and has done what Efren couldn't (like when world 9ball over 20 million times, Efren couldn't do it.) And SVB is more humble. He was a dead kid and he actually does stuff for kids, which Efren doesn't do. But Efren looks like the old freaky uncle you wouldn't want around your kids.
SVB plays like a robot, all of these new era players look like robots, not a chance in hell SVB has entertained the crowd and TV more than Efren, he just doesn't have the imagination, he's a robot...@@godjhaka7376
Efren is the greatest there ever was. Also he's a gentleman and is very humble. I'd like to meet him before I leave the Philippines but I have no idea where he is.
Ive been dwelling on how many and what spesific cue's I really need. I've been playing with two for years, but some pople have break cue's jump cue's playing cues, extended cues... If the best pool player in the world (Durring his time) can play with two normal cues, I think I have my answer. I'll stick with what I have.
When I was young I was very good at pool and I remember saying that it's a waste of money to buy an expensive stick because if you play well then an ordinary house stick is just as good.
Grabe!!! Elk master tip ang gamit!!! Magchamp sya at if im not mistaken, elk tips the cheapest one!!! While the others were so expensive!!! Kahit saang bilyaran yan ang default n tip!!! Wow!!! Talaga, nasa talento/henyo talaga ng idol!!!
efren do carry extra shafts, he only showed the cues that he plays with.his other cue a judd cue is actually in his case he doesnt want to show it because people will imitate the cue, and he is not in a contract with judd fuller but judd makes his past and recent cues.mezz cues is the only name he carries because they made efren reyes signature cues.
Barbara Baker Arguably the greatest of all time, yet he's still so incredibly humble. So many others at the top of their respective games/sports could learn a thing or two from Efren Reyes
we may now forget about those "secret" ferrule material, those 25-dollar magic chalk, and all that laminated low-deflection shit. start practicing more and learn pool strategy and table geometry.
Efren using master elk chalk about 2usd a box of 12, while some beginers now used 26 usd a piece... And he used master elk cue tip about less than 2usd wow!
@TheTrojanrazon excellent points, i agree with you 100%. however, english is the global second language. it is more beneficial for a filipino or chinese person to speak english than it is for an english speaking person to learn kapampangan.
I use the same tips but I use the softer press. They might not last as long as the others but goddamn do they grab some english. It also takes a little of that annoying click out of the stroke when you make contact with the cue ball. I have the same sand paper in my case too, It works so much better than anything else I've ever used. I have 800 grit for the rough pass and 2000 to smooth everything over and it's like new after you're done. What a great pool player.

whats in your case efren?

Lol
Perfect👌🏼
If efren brakes a tip he can go outside and get a branch from a tree and beat most people the greatest ever goat efren.
run table with broom stick. and still have more powerful draw shot.
@@marshalcraft hahahahahahah!!! really! I heard he can use the opposite tip of the cue and still beat his opponent.
Hahahahha
Agree
You ain’t telling no lie
Efren is the best and very few will argue against that point.
hands down to the legend and a G.O.A.T!!
No, I'm the best.

efren will never retire wew.
I'm sure he/she meant "retire" when talking of great competitions...
His special made playing cue is worth over $100,000 usd but you are right he could use his finger and outplay most pros
@@TheEasylovin That was in yen, it's worth about 1000 USD
he has an entire cue collection lol
For being called the 'Magician', he doesn't have a lot of tricks to pull out of the bag. Just the basics and incredible talent.
ive watched this at least 5 times now lol i just love seeing how he has the very basics of supplies and doesnt even carry an extra shaft. Skill at its best, no need for fancy gadgets.
Ask: Efren, tell us what tools you used to become the world best pool player ever?
Efren: A 10 dollars cue stick and my hand. 😂😂😂
according to him the most difficult part of the sport is the interview.
danny gabon lol
danny gabon that's how you know all he does is play pool. He doesn't talk much but when he does it's harder than playing pool
Partida sir hindi pa yan nag-aral ng basic english. Pero lumalaban.
He said he can't talk in english . But wow he's learning every interview
Wow... he's such a nice guy. Honestly very humble... by far my favorite player.

True! No need to speak fluently in english. We are proud of Efren! Proud Filipino!
His que stick speaks very fluently in english!!
How can you not love that guy...
Amazing. Living legends are the rarest.
humility and simplicity - the traits of a true champion.
This man is a true genius!!! Just watching him play is a privilege... thank god i was lucky enough to enjoy him playing, even if he's not at his best of times, 5/5 thx for uploading this.
I like how Efren uses an Elk master tip, instead of the higher acclaimed tips like Kamui, Moori, or Tiger tips
pressed elkmaster
I still think Elkmaster is the best tip. I've played so many layered tips. Hate them.
I don't know a lot about pool, but from the videos I see of this guy, he is a beast in pool. Currently the best I've ever seen of this generation.
He is the goat
Amo su humildad siendo un gran jugador es un crack mis respetos mr Reyes
Hattori Hanzo made that stick for him.
+cheesesteakphilly Efren is a table samurai for sure!
Genghis Khan's grandma

I believe that Mezz made his playing cue.

the legend!!! pool would be boring without efren
I agree.
Anyone watched other episodes of " what's in my bag" and Efrem Reyes is the only one without a jump cue on his bag???
Only playing and breaking cue.
the key to enfrens supremacy is his.. humbleness. long live the king.. no matter how high he fly his feet are always on the ground..

+bob jones he lives in taytay rizal. you can ask anyone there and they know where his house is located.
just go ask google 😀
last time i checked he went back to Pampanga. Check his interview in CNN
Just google it.
This clearly shows that having an expensive cues doesn't make you a good player. This is pure talent and dedication to his craft.
Exactly! Bata devoted his life to billiards. I dont think he finished hs
imo $120k for a cue is not an insignificant investment
✌️🐝➕
@@A_Bone1972120,000 yen, which is around 800 usd right now. Probably higher when this was filmed.
That cue stick is actually a wand. Thats how powerful the magician is.
We Love you Efren Bata Reyes!!!

Love this guy.
this guy is the fucking BOSS
None better. A god among men. No Predator shaft required.
Efren Reyes, you are my hero! I really wish to have such a trainer. I bet I'm gonna be undefeated :)
Why not? He can take his service you can just talk to him. God bless
Wow,.he don't even bring spares. That is how confident person he is. Amazing.
He would take all your money
He keeps it simple his real tool for winning is his mind he knows just what to do and when to do it the Magician
Bowing down forever to the greatest of all time.
Such a humble human being. .....
When I was young I was very good at pool and I remember saying that it's a waste of money to buy an expensive stick because if you play well then an ordinary house stick is just as good.
The most viewed what's in the case episode..... The Magician!
3:46 - What happens if Efren breaks his tip or shaft during tournament play? He grabs a house cue! It's Efren Reyes!!
He'll ask somebody to go to Ace Hardware and buy a garden rake......lol
no, youre wrong. if Efren break a tip, the tip will re-adhesive, reshape and chalk itself.
He will chalk up his index finger and still can beat anybody.
I remember his interview with him just wearing home wear sando and flip flops. Looks a very ordinary down to earth guy.
simple tools of the master
Grabe!!! Elk master tip ang gamit!!! Magchamp sya at if im not mistaken, elk tips the cheapest one!!! While the others were so expensive!!! Kahit saang bilyaran yan ang default n tip!!! Wow!!! Talaga, nasa talento/henyo talaga ng idol!!!
Efren the ultimate OG of pool
"Sand paper is for my shaft."
I lol'd.
efren do carry extra shafts, he only showed the cues that he plays with.his other cue a judd cue is actually in his case he doesnt want to show it because people will imitate the cue, and he is not in a contract with judd fuller but judd makes his past and recent cues.mezz cues is the only name he carries because
they made efren reyes signature cues.
That what I thought. He said he carried 4 right ? Why would he want to not make his own
this guy is a legend
Muito bom muito bom
Great person..Great Champion 🏆Efren Reyes...
I wish Reyes were my grandpa! :D
I remember when Efren shot with a $99 (at least it looked like it cost that much) for years. I believe that it was a Filipino cue.
it was made by Customs Cues in Philippines
InsidePOOLmag I actually heard it was a 10 dollar cue!
It was 10$ cue yeah
When I was in the Philippines, I used some Filipino cues, and honestly, they had some quality cues.
...very nice man is Efren, good man !
I love him so much. He is so natural
Yes efren cannot speak good english so what's your point he is not
American he is a filipino
English is a language not a measurement of intelligence
but understanding various pronunciations and accents never heard kind of is. So these people hating on him certainly lack this intelligence
And he's not english, either.
Not good in english but genius in pool
I dont know why i feel so relax when i listening to this video
Humility :)
Barbara Baker Arguably the greatest of all time, yet he's still so incredibly humble. So many others at the top of their respective games/sports could learn a thing or two from Efren Reyes

Louise Baker I can be your slave...
can U p
like ACDC, he may not speak english but he speaks Pool Pretty Good !!!
The best
Does he use premium master chalk red or regular?
"Johnson's Baby Powder ikaw lamang wala ng iba"........ ahahahhahahha
What did he say he used it for? I couldn't understand him. Did he say for wet hands?
@@casias002 Yes. Sweaty hands maybe. To make the cue stick “slide” better.
its the first time i listen to his voice , kinda laughy ^^ he's a legend !
Documentary "the last dance" style about efren please.
what kind of joint is that metal on resin ?
we may now forget about those "secret" ferrule material, those 25-dollar magic chalk, and all that laminated low-deflection shit.

what stick brand does efren use?
What brand cue is his playing cue? Mezz?
good
What a legend
proves that japan products is the best :P

Always.
Always i thought japan product like this one is high class
I'd love to have one of his signature sticks
Efrens Magic Stick. 🔥

man i dropped my cue during a game and the tip came flying off..had to use a house cue..
Good
I’m giving Efren the Props on his command of the English language ….. he totally dropped the interpreter scene.
does anyone know where efren got his "Cool Pool Tool"?
Good guy
World champ 3 things in his case. Amateur at a local bar got 25 sand papers and 15 must-have gadgets.
Mustardeer M So true though!
@nusux 120000 yen is about 1200 dollars roughly. probably 100 or so off depending on the exchange rate.
what if u break the shaft whacking earl??
Pulled the curtain back at Oz...that was awesome.
Efren Reyes = G.O.A.T
what shaft does he use? i can't really understand his english. not trying to dis him at all.. just couldnt understand
Can someone tell me the name of that cream he uses for his arthritis, it would be of great help
Although i do not understand anything he said,his voice is so cute
legend says he has a kryptonite stone in his pool case.
