He was also considered the father of precision shots in pool billiard in his prime, because of his precise angle shots, and tricks as if he knew the measurements and angles of the pool.

Indeed

His uncle owned a billiards hall, where Reyes helped out by cleaning pool tables. He naturally became obsessed with billiards and spent many hours watching players make mistakes. It was these mistakes that he studied closely. He was also thrilled to see players make balls move around obstacles and into pockets. By age eight, Reyes tried his hand at billiards. He stood on crates of Coca-Cola to reach the table, and by age nine, he played his first-ever match with a money bet. When he was 12, he was already one of Manila’s best pool players. He participated in a tournament and won a cool $100 prize money. He kept $10 and sent the rest to his family.

Indeed! I may not understand billiards but I do understand geometry. Reyes understand mathematics superbly in just seconds. His calculations are creative and artistic.

Efren's mind: "I estimated the angle near the upper corner and I also had that slightly similar situation before. It's also about exerting the right amount of force to make the shot." Efren: "I got lucky." Best quote from the GOAT and one of the biggest lies in sports history.

A winner of over 100 international titles, Reyes was the first player to win the WPA World Championships in two different pool disciplines. Among his numerous titles, Reyes is a four-time World Eight-ball champion, a WPA World Nine-ball champion, a three-time U.S. Open winner, a two-time World Pool League winner, and a thirteen-time Derby City Classic winner. Reyes also represented the Philippines at the World Cup of Pool, winning the event with his partner Francisco Bustamante in 2006 and 2009. By defeating American player Earl Strickland in the inaugural Color of Money event in 1997, Reyes took home the largest single match purse in pool history of $100,000. Many analysts, fans, and players consider Reyes to be the greatest pool player of all time.[1]

Forever young Efren BATA Reyes. Loved by all and during the Seagames 2019 held in Phil he was one of the legendary and iconic athletes who carried the Seagames flag. When his name was called people cheered for him the loudest and surely people at their homes too. He's like your gentle and humble Lolo. He competed even though he has shoulder injury. He's our champion and treasure as well. Mabuhay ka Ka-Efren!💖

It's always a pleasure to watch Efren 'the magician' play

No more than 2 weeks have I known this man but the algorithm is doing me too much justice

Kim, jung un... you lost alot of weight man... good job.

I don't understand this sport but everytime a compilation of his games comes to my recommendations I watch it, never fails to amaze me every time

Love this video. A wonderful tribute to the Magician.

Probably the greatest sportsman ever that know one has even heard of.

The most humble Filipino athlete....

Wrong, it is Casimero 😂

Some call him Magician. I call him LEGENDARY BILLIARD GURU. There may be no one like him over the next century. PROFESSIONALLY - HUMBLE.

I have watched this video so many times, this is my first time noticing he still had his sandwich paper on his left hand when he took the shot :D Thanks OP! :D That was cool!

He is the Michael Jordan of billards or MJ is the Efren Reyes of basketball. But efren is under appreciated, he needs more recognition. The Z shot man

No bro! Michael Jordan is the efren reyes of basketball. Efren already slaying players since the 70’s!

He's a cool guy, humble, talented, amazing, down to earth man, kind and i really adore his smile whenever he won a match

That "Z SHOT" will never be forgotten.

Literally: His a Living LEGEND! 😎😎

Liquid nitrogen flows in them veins. Cool crisp and always always classy. Even if the other guy throws shit, he’s always a cut above the rest. A galaxy and a dimension away from everyone else. The greatest of all time. 🎱🥢the icon of billiards for a thousand years. Efren Reyes.

I like how you "presented" this video. You let your well-arranged content explain itself with only minor intervention and explanation. Sometimes, it is also necessary for some viewers to answer their own (non-technical) questions independently, in my opinion.

Everytime someone interview him. He always say "He just lucky" 🤣

Hes a Philippine Legend. Down to earth.🤩👋🇵🇭 "The Magician"

I have a picture whit Efren whit the coffe and the bag after that shot. XP

@@neilsapno919 absolutely no doubt there. When you do it in competition versus just hitting balls around that's a big difference.

The story about Efren's humility is true at its core. He's one of the people I admire when I was a kid and admire even now. A true sportsman without a shed of arrogance.

he's like a math/physics genius but instead of solving complex problems on paper he's doing it real time with a more hands on approach.

THE ONE AND ONLY KING

Reyes in Spanish means Kings

Just imagine his brilliant shots not covered by camera in his prime.the greatest indeed!

he is the OG of pool... mad respect for him.. i grew up watching his matches in the TV... always amazed me.

need an anime series for this dude

Efren is the reason why I join billiard club in my school.

I only played billiards once trying it out it was damn hard and realized how god tier the magician is! Efren "Bata" Reyes is a legend!! 🔥 ♥

He can be seen walking along the road here in Angeles City. Humility + skill = the Magician

Im glad youtube replay button is immortal 😁😁.. that Z shot is the most epic and amazing clutch on pool history
