Watch my compilation of the top 50 greatest pool shots of all time of Efren Bata Reyes. Today, 69 years ago, the most recognizable pool player was born in the Philippines. Efren "BATA" Reyes because we are talking about him made the laws of physics in billiards cease to exist. His outstanding plays earned him the nickname "THE MAGICIAN" and these plays are remembered around the world to this day. Due to this very important day for the billiard world, I decided to create a compilation of the 50 best shots in the history of Efren Reyes. There is no other player in the world who has made so many magical and unique shots. When preparing this video, I selected as many as 81 of the best moves in my opinion and had to reject as many as 31. Believe me, it wasn't easy. The most important criterion for me was that this compilation should contain only intentional shots. I tried to reject the random ones even though they looked epic. This video shows my great respect and admiration for the achievements of this great player from the Philippines whose career changed the course of pool history forever. I hope you will enjoy this compilation and give it a thumbs up. Also, don't forget to let us know in the comments below which particular shot you think was the best! Thanks for watching!

Efren’s accuracy is unbelievable. He really deserves his nickname. Thanks for this collection

These collections of old video footage of The Great Efren Reyes, is an inspiration to the next generation of pool players😊

Truly appreciated this video, man. Efren is just one of a kind, and truly the greatest of all time. Side by side, Earl and Efren are one of the legends of pool. Greetings from 🇵🇭

Some kind words there at the end from his arguably greatest nemesis, Earl The Pearl. After all, you can't talk about either one without mentioning the other somehow. They had so many epic battles in the past & to hear that from Earl shows the amount of respect he has for Efren.

Earl's speech at the end was to show how much respect Efren Reyes is given by other players. It doesn't matter who said it. It was only to show how huge influence Efren Reyes had and still has on the entire billiard community.

​@@MrCueBall I agree. That it happened to come from Earl Strickland carries more weight, in my opinion. I hear stories about Earl where people say he was ornery when he played, some attitude issues, doesn't really give credit or compliments to opponents, etc. So yeah, to hear that from him was something else.

Reyes’ defense is so underrated that people tend to forget that is one of the reasons why he wins the game. long live the 🎱🎱🐐🐐🇵🇭🇵🇭

Like many others, I've watched videos of Efren from his earliest to 2023. The commentators and players were all won over by his exceptional abilities and true humility. Probably the most respected and arguably the best pool player in the world.

HANDS DOWN, the greatest player who ever held a billiards stick. Salute...

Unbelievable talent!

2:23 is my favorite shot😮😮

A touch of genius!👍🎱

Top 8 😱😱😱like wooooot? the magician indeed!

that boy gooooood!

He is the idol of all the best players in billiards.nothing to complain for he is the best among them.

One of a kind si sir Efren, di natin alam kelan tayo makakita ng player na tulad nya

I love how the audience let out a confused laugh in shot no. 28. They thought he was joking😅

#26 is the shot that made my brain hurt. How does one see a shot like that, and place the cue perfectly for the next one

In my opinion, Efren is the best ever.

The most entertaining pool player in history

3:18 🤐 4:02 🤯 4:50 🥶 5:31 😄 6:41 🥵 8:08 wtf moment

The player to beat him has not been born yet.

Ne nasce uno ogni 500 anni !!!

#21 🔥🔥🔥

The Great MAGICIAN

GOAT!

The best of the best the King of pool 🎱

The best to ever play

Great ❤❤❤

#28... they fckn laughed at him making that ridiculous call to side pocket... LEGEND

He is a goat n a legend....

He really deserve a major 9 ball tournament name after him

@11:20, the announcer was all excited over a two bank side pocket shot. The next shot is five banks. 😂 Efren Reyes is a master at his craft.

Reyes "The Witch" 😄😄

Imagine all the shots he made off camera…the sheer amount of table time he has is incredible

Efren is the overall best, but earl the pearl is very good as well very good indeed

Brilliant

The GOAT

The goat Reyes ❤🇵🇭😱😱😱😱😱

All of the shot are impressive because he had only one chance to pull it off. For me, No. 18 & 26 is more impressive compared to the Z shot vs Earl. The Z shot is popular tho because of the match up. No.21 is one crazy shot. Also you didn't include his most insane shots. He use the other ball to change the trajectory, sink a ball and even hide a ball. Those are insane trick shot that needs to be done precisely that usually would take a lot of try to pull off. And he is doing it in a tourney with only one try. it is just impressive.

There were much more shots from Efren but I wanted to select only 50🙏

If anything, he _showed_ that physics are _something_ in this sport… he jokingly says luck but physics is all about applying logical reasoning (math) to a real world phenomenon

Number 28 was the best

He's him.

No 8 still my favorite

Best shot for me is # 29.

Efren be like: you see everything all my shots in tv and try to copy it but that's everthing you know but i do not share everything i know😢😂😂 My fellow countrymen from philippines the GOAT❤❤

How can

#12. Shot that is perfectly hiden ball. EBR use the pocket it self to hit the 6 ball. U really cant hide a ball from the goat.

👁️👁️

No 2. He uses the ball as a cushion then puts spin on it. WTF

Putting the greatest shot,in pool history,at number 16 completely ruins the validity of this list.

I am not sure whether comparing with snooker is right way. Efren is Maestro and every shot has somethink special. We all know that Efren is King of kick shots and any other player not play these kind of shots like him👍
