just watched Accu States Premiere with Efren/CJ Wiley. 1994. (9/12/2023) Now this loads next, 2016. 20 years later, and still Accu-Stats and Still Efren. AMAZING!

Man I remember watching Reyes in the early 90's play 1.000 pool for a few different matches. I think these guys have at least 1 or 2 of his perfect matches? Anyway, it crazy to think he's still competitive at his age??👏👏👏👏

Reyes being competitive for 30 plus years is an accomplishment. Don't really know of anyone else that's done it that long still making it high up in the field

Efren not complaining about a fan is no surprise. Yes Efren has as much class as any man but it probably didn't bother him as much as most guys. In the Philippines these guys play high level pool matches in rooms with a hundred guys hanging around the table. They play with humidity so bad they have piles of chalk on the actual rails and those people around the table may only be 3 feet away to the point players have to work around them to shoot so a little camera flash is nothing for a Filipino player.

Efren last last balls on the 3rd and 4th seems intentional placing it awkward but hen made it. He is just making it more exciting. Things he does to entertain not top platers does.

Me recuerda tanto a la película Cars, con el legendario Hudson Hornet vs el rayo Mc Queen, y al ver el taco clásico de efren reyes que hasta parece un "the master" vs la tecnología que usa van boening con su "cuetec" que el mismo diseño y aun asi el mago sigue dando clases en algunos tiros... Sin duda reyes fue y siempre será el mejor 🥺

Wow that is very interesting. Could be camera parallax. But if it’s that far off that’s definitely a cheating move and pretty disappointing from Shane

It's interesting to me that Shane seems to have more movement in his stroke than many of the other pros. For instance, it seems like he always aims a little lower than where he intends to hit and comes up with his stroke a bit. It certainly doesn't hurt him though, that's for sure.

@@freakoffear3823 I don’t think there is anything wrong with a robotic stroke. Tyler Styer and Fedor both have robotic strokes because their fundamentals are absolutely perfect and they are very methodical with their set up. It’s something every player should emulate to master their stroke. Shane’s is beautiful as well but nearly impossible to replicate because he has his own unique flair on it with the dip in the back swing. It’s more of a quirk which most people have in their stroke.

I don't know 9ball great but is there a certain point that the top ball cant pass when setting up the rack?
