THE BEST 1P MATCH EVER: Efren REYES vs. Danny SMITH - 2015 ACCU-STATS 1-POCKET INVITATIONAL

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

This is certainly the finest one-pocket match I've seen. Both players were ON their best game.

[@rootlesscosmopolite]

“Am I going crazy? Isn’t there eleven balls on the table?” “Which question you want me to answer?” Perfect.

This is the best one pocket match I have ever watched. It’s soooo good I’ve watched it probably 10-15 times. The play is great and the commentary is priceless. Love every second of this video. Thanks Accu-Stats, Pat, Billy, and Danny

[@snookerhand]

I'm a neophyte in one pocket and thus my comment is so late. Best one pocket I come across. I would think some one could get a heart attack watching this match. When Efren came back snatching the game from Danny when he needed 10 balls and Danny needing 2, I yelp and hollered in appreciation of virtuoso play. But then the next game Danny came with a thriller. I kicked off my socks. I enjoyed it very much!

[@themonk51]

Thank you, Pat. This match was everything it was billed to be.

[@RZ393]

Efren is the only man in the world in his sixties playing professional pool at this level.

[@hammerlane3871]

I was playing one pocket for some cash and a few people were on another table kind of sneering at us because 'we didn't seem very good' (probably thinking it was 8 ball) and it was actually kind of a good feeling when somebody watching told them 'well these two are the best players in the room and this is the hardest game to play in pool'. Sometimes it's nice being in the spotlight lol

[@yolomcswagson]

thank you for uploading this, i really have been yearning for more billy incardona commentary after watching the old us open one pocket videos, he is an EXCELLENT one pocket commentator

[@mortonbrowne6931]

Love it.. I watch all your videos.. I am deeply into the game.. 1 pocket, 8,9 and 10 ball.. I watch very old pool to recent day action, daily!! Efren Reyes is easily my favorite player, the Django.. the pearl, Grady Matthews, Ronnie Alcano, the mizz , aponcho. Could you put together some whole tournaments in order, 9 ball and 1 pocket

[@AccuStats]

Some day, some day.🙂

[@harleydon]

I have watched this match about 10 times. I love one pocket. Didn't start playing it until about 10 yrs ago. After you play it awhile, it's addicting. Now it's about all I play. I love listening to Billy and Danny, they give great insight to the game. Billy and Grady are great together also. Thanks Pat for posting all the matches.

[@AccuStats]

You're welcome Don.

[@spartanical]

really? you love listening to two guys constantly dismissing (not merely disagreeing with) each other's ideas in a desperate need to appear to be the only one who knows anything, only to both be wrong about 75% of the time? i'd rather listen to two guys who know how to work as a team and actually like each other and respect each other's knowledge so that i don't have to listen to borderline bickering for two hours.

@@spartanical I agree about Bill. Danny might disagree but I don't think he's trying to put Bill down. Bill just seems to have such a huge ego that he nearly always has to put Danny's opinions down. He might be a great and knowledgeable player but he really comes off as a pompous jerk.

[@MrJdsenior]

FINALLY, a top level player that uses that vacuum cleaner looking cue extension. I've been using it for a long time and I really like it, super easy to install/remove, works on every cue I've tried it on, and never sloppy. I pop in on a little harder than he did, and just use a floor tap to remove it, but the shot he was shooting there was so gentle what he did was more than fine. I've even taken to breaking with the thing on, and it actually improved my break a good bit, power and accuracy...but I'm tall (6'3" and my hand wants to be 3-4 inches aft of the back of a standard length cue for breaking, especially when bridging fairly long.

Where is Danny today? Never seen him play before.

[@azbdizzy4176]

I noticed prior to each shot Efren was tightening his cue. That appears to be the Diveney cue he was using a few years ago at DCC. I wonder what kind of a joint pin it has. I don't remember seeing him do that before.

If I have a touchy shot I unscrew mine a turn and tighten it back just to make sure it hasn't jiggled a little loose or anything. Could also be a nerve thing

I’ll tell you about the greatest one pocket match I ever saw.. It was 25 years ago, and my road partner was trying to get this one particular guy to play him some hole.. We waited for almost 2 weeks, and went broke waiting.. We had 83 cents between the 3 of us when he finally got the guy to play 9-ball for 300 a set, and he won 4 sets.. So, the guy is angry, and barks at my guy to play some one pocket $500 a game, and my guy accepts, then beats the other guy 27 games in a row for $500 a game.. lol.. I couldn’t believe it and I asked him why he didn’t at least let him win one game?.. He told me it’s best to just win every game, because the other guy won’t quit until he wins one.. Lol..

At 23.12 why spot the 1 ball?

[@sammorgison3329]

Reyes owed one.

[@kimberlyfrost4730]

If you will back up to 21:22 you will notice that Efren took an intentional foul (not hitting any object ball). That put him at -1 so when he pocketed a ball they placed it back on the spot because he "owed" one at that point. They have to put those owed balls on the spot because you potentially wouldn't have enough balls on the table to finish the game if there is an intentional foul. Imagine both players being at 7-7 and if you didn't put the ball back they couldn't finish the game with only 14 balls in play. LOL.

[@wolfflow8972]

I would concede against Danny not because he's better than me but because he takes soooooooo long to shoot. Pitter Patter let's get at er.
