@@ChrisM-qo1jc One shot does not require an understanding of the game. I have no doubt he is an amazing pool player; I think this is largely because he understands the dynamics of the game, assesses risk v reward very well and and isn’t afraid to play shots in a way that gives him the best chance of winning. In this case, after playing two poor shots, that got him into deep trouble, he played a very good or very good escape from the snooker (no better than that, in terms of the difficulty of the shot) in a way that gave him maximum chance of a good result (that was mostly down to the power choice). He got lucky and potted the ball, which won the game and the match. The shot itself would have been no less good if the contact had left the balls in a very safe position that set up a win on his next visit. As it happened, he got very lucky and the contact with the object ball made the pot, at a critical point in the game, and left a winning position. He cannot have had any intent of achieving the pot, he simply played himself the shot to give the maximum chance of a good outcome.

I've known Efren for more than 30 years and can personally tell you that he has no equal for a lifetime of being gentlemanly, fair, humble, and respectful of other pros and spectators always -- meanwhile playing with unearthly skill and the imagination and vision of a true genius. A *humble genius -- that's a category of genius rarely seen in world history. Such a decent, wholesome man. A wonderful role model for young and older folks alike, and for emerging players everywhere. Pool players of all ages around the world (and millions of non-players too) all love Efren.

He is genuinely *amused and boyishly embarrassed anytime he's caught up in a _self-inflicted _dilemma_*. All fans who love him, find that extremely charming and appealing about him.

@raycarltonbilliards5798

7 жыл бұрын

Zigzag shots have been around for more than 100 years (kick shots using a shooter's choice of two long rails -- as in this video -- and sometimes using two short rails). They're commonly seen to get at obstructed hangers and to perform a safety while legally hitting a very obstructed object ball. We all fully acknowledge the beauty and rarity of this instance of actually pocketing a "kicked-at" quite distant object ball which was a full two diamonds away from the pocket and virtually stranded along a short rail (and under the pressure of hill-hill in the final match of a major 9-ball event). Outstanding and historic.

This is not a trick shot for a tv show. This is an escape shot in the very last game with serious money on the line. Surreal.

It is definitely the greatest shot ever in pool history.

Amazing sportsmanship from his opponent. You love to see it all.

When your opponent starts clapping your day is made. Legend !

This is definitely a legendary shot by Efren Reyes against a legendary opponent, Earl Strickland! But I must also recognize the call by the two analysts in the booth, Billy Incardona and Jim Rempe! Their call and reaction to the shot was phenomenal! If this was the “Best Finish Ever” it is because of the legendary players involved and the announcers who gave us the incredible play-by-play commentary! ☮️🖖🏽

A perfect comment, Ralph. Perceptive and totally accurate. Thanks for posting.

What makes it even more special, the sportsmanship shown by Earl at the end 🏆 He's very bitter usually 😆

Efren & Albert Einstein are extremely similar. *Efren's a humble genius -- and that's a category of genius rarely seen in world history Albert Einstein is another and -- amazing to realize -- **_he and Efren both exhibit the identical sweet and shy, kind of smile in public situations_** As if they both are almost embarrassed by the level of genius they were born with* .

He has got to be The Greatest Of All Time. I never seen anyone even close to him.

No *math calculations* involved at all, LJ -- the actual process is *far more complex* and intriguing (to amateur sports physiologists) than a mathematical process. As with many other sports that involve movement of a projectile *directly* with the hand/arm (baseball, football, javelin throwing, etc.) or with hand-held equipment (pool cue, tennis racket, baseball bat, golf club, archer's bow) it's a matter of an experience-based, very precise *feel* rather than some instantaneous math or physics calculation. The *feel* is always based on *thousands -- even millions -- of muscle-memory acquisitions* and a subconscious knowledge base formed during years of playing at an advanced level. And the exact nature of the cloth & cushions of the immediate table is subconsciously acquired from recent shots performed during a given match's previous racks. *The human mind and body seems to me to be the original integration of programmable software and hardware -- nature's eon's-old computer combination that enabled survival of the species* .

We're lucky it was recorded otherwise nobody would believe

Man looking back now, 95 seems like 1975 looking at the style hahah it always looks darker back then also.....smoke filled

It has to be one of the best televised shots of all time.
