    I love effen reyes. But why, in your videos, do you say the opposing player "gets lucky" when they make a difficult shot? If they weren't great players they wouldn't even be in a match versus Reyes. We all enjoy watching Reyes play, otherwise we wouldn't be here, however, mutual respect for both players is a must in my opinion. Also in my opinion (and im sure many more people's) Reyes is one of the greatest of all time if not THE greatest of all time. Yet i take nothing away from these opponents. Just some food for thought.

    I feel the same way, the bias he has is pretty strong and detracts from the videos in my opinion. Efren is a legend, but he isn't the only great pool player. As this video shows, he can lose to a strong opponent. Of course luck is involved even at the highest levels of pool, but you won't see him referring to Efren's shots as lucky, only "unlucky".

    ​@@TitoYuca Ronnie just won his 7th World Championship. What a superlative achievement. Here's what Steve Davis said: He's playing in a field of players far stronger than in previous generations and that's why he's needed more years to maybe match Stephen Hendry's seven titles. The longevity of his career is incredible because it didn't happen for me and it didn't happen for Stephen either. I think it is remarkable what he has achieved. There have been peaks and troughs along the way personally and professionally, but he has done brilliantly well to cope with everything. He is the person everyone wants to ask questions of, but he has the talent. The pressure he withstands is astonishing. The word 'genius' is bandied around a lot but he is a true genius of the game, and I think he has an eighth world title in him. So yes, you can argue the Ronnie is a greater Snooker player than Steve. Steve Davis, however, took on the great Efren Reyes and won. Ronnie has never beaten the greatest pool players, in 9-ball or 10-ball. I believe he can do it. He just hasn't yet, nor should he try. Ronnie just won U.S. $600K and a 7th World Snooker title. Why would he play a $20K pool tournament? Also, if Steve Davis is to believed and Ronnie has an 8th World Championship title in him, he's got to go for it. I'm Team Ronnie. I'm all-in.

    6:34 Davis wasn't lucky there at all, that was a great shot and he played for it. He couldn't see the angle to pot off only one cushion, so he went off two. I don't doubt for a moment that with the score as it was he knew he had to take control of the match at the first opportunity he got, and that was it. If he had intended a safety he would have got it easily and wouldn't have allowed the object ball to go anywhere near the pocket. He's one of the great safety players of all time, on tables four times the size. No way would his precision be so far out on such a short and simple safety.

    Exactly! These professionals don’t miss so badly that they botch a single bank and make a double. That’s just a biased, ludicrous statement to make. Snooker players are notorious for multiple rail shots. That’s where the diamond system came from. If you know the diamond system and can do math pretty well on the fly, you can make a lot of multiple rail shots. But these pros are doing that plus, putting ball spin on the cue. Freaking incredible.

It just doesn't make sense the way that the ball will be spinning after the shot which is why it went in opposite side. It's not that irregular with those shots.

    It's not about making more difficult shots, not really, it's more about making almost unending seriously easy shots, at a VERY high percentage, with relatively high relative percentages on the very occasional more difficult ones, and only then when he feels like showboating a bit, or there is no other option, like his amazing safety game skills, to employ. Ultra shots are not really a big aspect of pool, even with Reyes, unless he's doing one of his crazy good exhibition matches, then it gets insane. And as for the 'deteriorating his playing skills' I agree, but have you watched him play some of his later one pocket. He was still a dominator at that game, even very recently. I think Efren's biggest advantage was that he was VERY good at games like carom pool (played well at a professional level) and his skills in that one game that is critically related his 'magic' shots. Often his ridiculous shots come directly from that knowledge, if you watch. Shots like the Z shot or many rail shots.

    @@JoseMendoza-vr1cv Unless you already play for money (meaning play seriously), try some league. You will learn a lot, and your level of play will up considerably. Most amateur 'low level' leagues, meaning still winnable by novice players due to handicapping systems, as there are some REALLY excellent players in most every league. The other far more (I think) major advantage, at my hall, is that you can play as much as want, as long as tables are available. You probably will get kicked off, or asked to pay hourly rates, if the hall requires your table, ie is full, but it is a business, so that's completely understandable. At our hall peak periods are night time league times (about four nights a week, and Saturday tournaments) but by far most times, weekdays or Sunday up to the evenings, they are often virtually empty, and if you want to play two, or ten hours a day, all you pay is the leagues 'greens fees' plus game and first sign up costs (all low). We have a, basically, play pool free league which all tolled you pay about $20-40 for ten weeks, depending on team finishing placement, then can practice all hours, duty free. Play enough pool and it literally works out to low cents and hour, for table time. Just an FYI. Always remember to tip your server though, they do a lot more than just ferry drinks or make snacks, like cleaning tables and the floor at closing, and balls occasionally, and they are usually being paid virtually nothing. Hey, your pool's essentially free, so why not? :-)

    Bata has said it clear and it's true. In pool you would need some luck, mostly at the breaks or in the kicks out of snooker position. Both did not favor Steve too much however Bata made some mistake and Steve wass ... very much flawless under pressure as snooker discipline demands more precision. So there was the result.

Not sure which game I'd want to play... the game where I sit and watch a master at work for 9 racks. Or the game where I get a shot, but will have almost 0 chance of making it...

    The break is because of the difference between a snooker and pool cue, I've tested this myself at the local club. Watch masters highlights and consider that's 12 feet by 6 feet. 9 ball has entertaining shots I agree. But like you say they are precise which means their shots are all magic haha, and they'd be able to easily do what 9 ball pool players do with couple years practice. I can't say it would be as easy the other way round.

    Snooker is much harder game to play. I reckon I could give Efren a decent pool game, I mean I WILL lose, but it won’t feel like I don’t belong there. I’ve played a top 200 snooker player and it wasn’t fun. He destroyed me that after the first frame I gave up. I said there no point hahaa. And top 200 is basically a no income player, means he’s not good enough to make any money.

    Not true. With proper practice, a pool player can compete in snooker or in billiards as well. It's simply a matter of knowing the game and getting comfortable with it. I play pool and snooker both. Yes, I know the snooker table is bigger and the pockets are smaller and cut differently but it's really not as much of a freakout as Euro snooker fans think it is.

Ronnie has a chance to pass Steve Davis's accomplishments but since he doesn't play pool regularly we will never know. The fact that Ronnie beat the Black Widow the very first time he played straight pool gives us another look at his genius. No pool player can compete against the snooker greats.
