You hit the nail on the head... he's getting up there in age. A ton of top pool players say that Efren is one of the best ever... that's a huge compliment in itself.
Just this year, at age 68, Efren beat Alex decisively At Derby City 1-Ball. His play was a little bit spotty but he was doing magic shots throughout the match. His play is a bit spotty at times at this point only a few weeks away from his 69th birthday he's still a good bet to make the semifinals in any tournaments he plays.
Danny was a great player, a hall of famer....the only thing is he has this old guy 'I forgot more about pool than any of you will ever know about pool' thing goin on which can be annoying at times.
umm yea during the rack of the 5th game at 29 minutes in efren just gains 4 points boosting him to 6 and im not exactly sure why.. it goes back down just kinda funny
Efren looks pretty frustrated over that last shot. He tries it three times and misses. I guess there are some shots that even the gods don't feel comfortable over.
We should cherish Danny's commentary. He's one of the last of his era. Soo humble,great humor, & he's invariably correct esp. on one pocket. Such a very good guy. Nice that Mark & others show Danny soo much respect too!! Tournaments should get doing commentary Bobby 'Cotton' LaBlanc too. He's super, just like Danny. Cotton has been on TAR.
pretty tight pockets, you what? there like buckets, id like to see em play on a snooker table from the 80,s, now they were tight pockets! these bucket pockets are easy!
When you see a great match like this it makes you wonder how the sponsors and promoters can't put serious money up like golf, poker or tennis to get it on cable at least. Put a half a mill up and like a Mosconi Cup format.
Squeegied 3rdeye because they dont make much money of sponsoring. They put sponsoeship money expecting a bigger return on sales etc.. Its just not there.
@@richhenry7540 It all changed once the cigarette companies stopped. All the would-be watchers are potential customers and barflies. Same thing with snooker
Danny Diliberto is a washed up has been hustler from a different era. How he got into the hall of fame is beyond me. Read the book Road Player. He would cut up his brother to get an advantage. I love Mark Wilson's passion for the game.
They mentioned it about 10 minutes prior, but nobody saw it. I think Alex did, because he slid it over after the shot. Would have expected a guy of his integrity to call the foul on himself
It's sad that we don't see older but great players anymore. Only Efren and Strickland seem to be still active in this sport. I believe the problem is that they got their ultimate accolade too early in life when they're still in their prime. They became too conscious, or too afraid, of their "Hall of Fame" reputation tarnished by being beaten by young players. The great Joe Louis deserve being "the greatest boxer of all time"; he fought every great contender until he's too old for his sport.
It would be a nice thing to see more older players. However, age does become an issue. Efren is a mere ten days younger than I am three weeks from age 69. So imagine my wonderful surprise at seeing Efren playing Alex in 1-Ball and playing up to his old standard of play. However, there were some missed because his accuracy is not always what it was. It isn't sloppy play.
If you think you have to insult the commentators and then trash talk The Master Mr EfREN REYES ...Then why don't you just quit watching or there is such a thing as a MUTE button. You youngsters could not ever polish Efren's shoes.....
By far the best 10-ball tournament ive seen on the web ! Best field, great venue, very experienced commentators, top production over all, picture-vise its fantastic, and the icing on the cake, ultimate pool. Every single match from this tournament is just candy for us pool-lovers . And a big Thank You to all the involved making this possible for us to enjoy….Cheers…….
danny is that guy that is really hard to be around. i can hardly take his commentating. hes a know it all. mark talks humbly while commentating i dont mind him at all.
Hi. Efren to some looks an Eagle Eye but since his eye got operated or lasered years ago, it wasn't as 100% as it used to be. Yes, he can still win tours but he's only 90%. Amazingly, despite his eyes not 100% anymore, he plays still good and considered as one of the Best Living legends n pool history (world). Pagulayan is a Filipino too. Lots of younger guys wants to be with the best and learn more from the best. Easiest way? Team Up with efren Reyes, or at least beat him. Amazing thing about Efren, he's so humble. I think, he even lose a match as a give away to new Filipino players to be recognized especially in the US and Euro circuits. Best player for me is Efren the Magician ..
instinct ...I find that myself an average player 40 years old, although my eyes are 20/20 ,they are not nearly as sharp as they ,at 27 years old , used to be?.... but instinct from being there so many times is increased. I hope that makes sense..lol
In my twenties and early thirties, I had 20/10. I'm 60+ now and have 20/20. I'm always disappointed when the doc tells me I have 20/20 because it seems so darn bad compared to what I once had. LOL.
damn near the 21 minute mark, efren tries to go three rails for the 7, hits it bad, but the magic rack saved him and let him see a full 7 ball. alex immediately removes the rack haha
Yes Sir, Mr. Diliberto you are imminently correct, twas ever thus. People that know pool have ZERO problem with Danny Diliberto saying anything he pleases about anything concerning cue sports. The man HAS forgotten more about pool than 99% of good pool players will ever know. So when I read these comments knocking Danny for being a pedantic taskmaster (which he is), I know what's what... their tell is showing.
@ 49:01 , the announcer says, "This would be Efren Reyes' first *break and runout* of the match..." but how is it a break and runout if he hits in an early 10ball? (combo from the 5ball) .I thought you need to run all the balls for it to be a "runout" , no combo-ing the 10ball early on a runout
Alex has dual citizenship - he actually won the world championships in 2004 carrying Canada. though he also carried the Philippines on other different international tournaments.
Who can enjoy the pool with the shi playing. I aint talking about the player. It aint music, its noise. Who can enjoy laying around in the ice cold pool with the shi noise playing.
efren lost alot of motivation in professional matches since like 00s he miss pots when he was leading against younger guys. In his prime he dosen't miss any.
Bryan Teo why does people act like efren is invincible or something? earl owned him pretty much and accomplished more than efren . earl was a better shot maker and a better leave . if earl had efrens mental game it wouldnt even be comparable really
efren may the best to ever hold a cue stick, but not because of color of money, that match he kept purposely and constantly coughing while earl was playing. along other things, was pretty cheat event
@@useranother667 Efren is a heavy smoker if you don't know, i also watched that match he is not coughing to cause any attention. But earl keep on running his mouth but i guess your so biased you did not notice it a tad bit, Ur boy earl got owned in that matched end of story move on.
@@joshuahaynes7413 NO doubt earl is good shot maker but Efren is an all around player and mental game of Efren is far superior than Earl is easily tilted on most games when got any good rolls both are legends of the game.
One of tha commentators have mentioned an Efren win on a pro tournament few weeks ago, it was the Bergen Open, Efren played unbelievable well, he won over Bustamante in the semi and demolished Feijen at the final. At age of 59....
two of the worst announcers alive,old man is wrong every time, wilson says the same thing over and over, tortured already by the color of money vids, 'i don't think he is gonna be rewarded' 10,000 times, now this. i'm gonna kill myself.don't quit the day job, menso.
strickland, reyes, pagulayan. notice how unlike the very slow players of today, they have a certain rhythm and finish off the table if the balls are wide open, no need for a 30 second clock.
for a legend beingbhaving that tittle efren should quitted big pools like such.by doing so he is alllowing new names in pool to try thuer fortune.,by doing so he is in the mode of keeping his legacy unblemished.knowing him to this sport he gas no more to prove to billiard world as a matter of reality all pool aspirants are aingng to learn his pool knowledge and greatness wanting to be the magician like him.i say enough for you sir your the best in the world anyway..legacy is yours untill sir efren
I dont know if many of the viewers here realize that when Efren goes back to our country he is constantly playing high-stakes betting games with challengers. By him losing publicly here he is only increasing his ability to make more money. Why? Because people see this loss and think he is aging and not the same player as before, but in reality he wants them to think that so that his handlers and agents can increase their betting odds and make more money than what he could have won here.
Great shooting in this match, but the announcers are a bit annoying with their constant assertions that no one watching can possibly understand the game, and a good shot is beyond our comprehension....pool commentators need to give their watchers a bit more credit.
Even though we know it happens to EVERYONE: You have to look at your target with the right english you're goijng to shoot it with send the object ball to the back of the pocket with the right speed to move your cue ball where you want it to get out. Then while you're down on the ball DON'T LET ANYTHING deter/detour you from your shot. That means: you (and those extra "thoughts"), your opponent and the audience. Oh it's wild in the hood! Alex did a great job. Peeps think Efren is too old, but I think he just either needs to "want it" when he's playing and he needs a physical trainer like me. There's even exercises to improve your eye sight, concentration and pool stroke.
Red Dragon -it’s always an option what type of play you make depending on the situation your in.Meaning,there’s a big reason why you take a chance or prepare a safety.It’s a big part of strategy to be a winning player.
that is great championships 2013,, they really good player and great master for 10 ball. and efren reyes at 60 still nice n great player. all round this really great champion n very entertaining. (member BIO 21 Bandung West Java Indonesia)
I find Alex really frustrating to watch because he constantly gets down in his stance and then stands up out of it again. Somehow it's a worse delay than players who just stand around or walk around the table.
Weather you like Danny or not he his a legend and has some great road story's,he also written a few books,highly recommend them,story's from the road and gambling.
lol sight? I think you mean site.. and it's hard to have respect for someone that is absolutely terrible at their job. If I went to work and performed as bad as he does at his, my ass would be out the door. Either way, I don't really care what you think. The day will eventually come when he is no longer plaguing these videos with his ridiculous comments. Get as mad as you want, doesn't bother me in the least. I'm not the only person that can't take it anymore. I'm just the only one saying it.
That younger commentator has a LOT more patience than I do. I don't care if the old guy is a legend or not, I would have told him to chill the hell out.
Well anyway, my point is they're definitely failing to draw in audience, and I think it's due in part to this type of commentary. You know there was an old TV show called 10/20, it was just straight pool with an audience and was very popular, and the commentator never talked down to the viewers, he assumed they knew the game as well as he or the players did.
Agree with David Fitzgerald, Mark Wilson is outstanding. I first encountered him on Jerry Briesath's "Pool Lesson" videos, where Mark does all the shots but doesn't say a word! (Jerry has a slight tremor in his right hand and although he can still shoot a mean ball, his form is probably not demonstration quality, at least not according to his high standards, so he delegates the demonstrating to Mark.)
please point out 1) Where the commentators are assuming that "no one watching can possibly understand the game" and 2) When the pool commentators "aren't giving their watchers a bit more credit". Seems to me that the two commentators are discussing with each other and not their watchers.
ure probably wrong, he's really popular here as a bystander in a suburban village (Signal Village) here in Taguig City, small part of Metro Manila, long before he became a champion
why at 1 hour 30 minutes was that not a foul when alex hit the magic rack with the object ball? The commentators mentioned that several times before he actaully did it.
Didn't they say it would be a foul to hit the magic rack? And then Alex did at 1:30:xx... But the ref didn't say anything and the announcers didn't say anything... it was like no one even noticed.
If you want to be like a Filipino pro, you must play 61 or Rotation. There are 15 balls to play, you will learn carom, billiard, safety and escaping with a kick safe. No jumping. And also pocketing and combination.
They're frequently saying (in particular the older guy) 'Those watching can't understand what a great/tough shot that just was!'....well many of us are accomplished players as well and do know pool.
Great match. Efren at 60 still playing outstanding. Alex of course is playing terrific position speed. Danny seems to think he knows what these top Pro's are going to do and a lot of times he's just so wrong. Thanks to all those who put this out on RUclips. I really enjoy watching. Looking for pool lessons,go to "playerspoolandbilliard".
You hit the nail on the head... he's getting up there in age. A ton of top pool players say that Efren is one of the best ever... that's a huge compliment in itself.

thank u for adding the names on the title
One day, Decades from now. There will be a major International Pool Tournament. The Efren Reyes Cup. With no jump cues allowed.
Danny was a great player, a hall of famer....the only thing is he has this old guy 'I forgot more about pool than any of you will ever know about pool' thing goin on which can be annoying at times.
well said, still SUPER annoying sometimes though
Efren reyes is an old guy, but his legacy never fades.
Danny has a unique and complex sense of humor. He's really a great guy who was a real treat to work with on this event. ~ray
commentators sooo annoying "well I would do this shot", "if he used my shot, it would've worked" -.- shut up
Goo goo ga ga!
umm yea during the rack of the 5th game at 29 minutes in efren just gains 4 points boosting him to 6 and im not exactly sure why.. it goes back down just kinda funny
Can't believe mark Wilson was the captain of the mosconi cup this year.

ure probably wrong, he's really popular here as a bystander in a suburban village (Signal Village) here in Taguig City, small part of Metro Manila, long before he became a champion
Very very Good match. Love u alex 4ril, love from Africa(Tanzania), your ma idol alex!!
why at 1 hour 30 minutes was that not a foul when alex hit the magic rack with the object ball? The commentators mentioned that several times before he actaully did it.
I think Alex is a traitor to the Philippines
Didn't they say it would be a foul to hit the magic rack? And then Alex did at 1:30:xx... But the ref didn't say anything and the announcers didn't say anything... it was like no one even noticed.
I'm a semi pro pool player brah, at times I can play like like a top pro
If you want to be like a Filipino pro, you must play 61 or Rotation. There are 15 balls to play, you will learn carom, billiard, safety and escaping with a kick safe. No jumping. And also pocketing and combination.
They spent the first hour talking about hitting the magic rack on the rail. Alex finally does it, and its not a foul?
Efren ,teach american pool player another way of playing pool
How many times in one match does Efren pick his nose?
These are good commentators. Miles better than a pair like Jerry Forsythe and Jay Helfert.
The older commentator- he did not get many calls right
Yep I pretty much feel the same way about Danny too, he talks too much smack.
They're frequently saying (in particular the older guy) 'Those watching can't understand what a great/tough shot that just was!'....well many of us are accomplished players as well and do know pool.
My two favorite players...
Great match. Efren at 60 still playing outstanding. Alex of course is playing terrific position speed. Danny seems to think he knows what these top Pro's are going to do and a lot of times he's just so wrong. Thanks to all those who put this out on RUclips.
I really enjoy watching. Looking for pool lessons,go to "playerspoolandbilliard".
one of the commentators said that he beat Efren Reyes in the past 11 to 1, Any body knows the name of that commentaror?
