I've already seen and met him in person. I asked for his autograph. He is a very humble man 💜

[@beast197]

The thing about efren that makes him so great is he understands positions and angles on a different level. What a goat

[@JasonSmith-vj1de]

And he makes it look easy.

[@alesecardhu7303]

he can also read the amount of impact between balls. it's real science in professional 3 cushion players but not common in pool players. it's another level, but Efren understands this.

[@timsimpson4339]

He has spent a month of sundays just learing where the q ball is going coming off the rails at different. Thats why u see him sticking his stick out and looking at angles when he is preparing a kick shot

[@MasterNeoRNCP]

It is because before becoming a professional he played snooker and also 1 cousin billiard or something that gave him an extra ordinary sense of board and an ageless combined with his genius creativity. He is a monster.

[@mr.s1961]

For regular 8ball and 9ball yes, but Efren said like 9-11 yrs ago he don't like bank pool because he can't play position or control the cueball. So he isn't that good, because there are bank players that can control the cue ball, as well as bankers who don't care because they can make any bank. Billy Thorpe today would murder Efren in his prime in a game of banks. Mitch Ellerman too prob

[@rpc717]

His level of understanding of the game is light years ahead of ours. If you watch him, he's very nonchalant about most of these shots. He completely expected the outcome he got. There were only a couple of times that he reacted like "wow, that was cool!"

[@robertgribb4779]

These shots are so much harder than he makes them look. Efren is an absolute legend. I've been playing pool for 25 years and am not even close to this type of skill level.

[@cse_62791]

No doubt the shots are amazing.. but the perfect position for the next ball makes it more impressive. 🔥

[@yeltsin6817]

I love how when he takes a shot he sets you up thinking he ll just make a simple straight connection… then the ball hits a bumper and you think he’s missed. Then 4 bumpers later it goes in the hole you originally thought it wa going to go into. Genius

[@mikelcapoquian2203]

What we all see is a person who devotes all of his life on what he loves the most.. you do it once and succeed its luck.. but you do it a thousand times its pure skill.. like the majority of people is saying Efren is the GOAT of billiards!

[@syd7706]

If I ever get the opportunity to visit the Philippines, these are the 2 "must do" items on my bucket list. Seek out The Magician and Senator Pac Man, shake their hands, get their autographs and spend half a day doing nothing else but sit and watch them train or listen to their stories.

He's the Michael Jordan of billiards. He transcended the sport and made it popular globally.

[@PhilipKerry]

He's not the " Michael Jordan of Billiards " he's the best at Pool which is an inferior game compared to Billiards or Snooker ......

[@HachikoThePoochInugami]

@@PhilipKerry Reyes also plays Billiards and Snooker. Though I agree that he's not the Michael Jordan of billiards, but with his knowledge in other cue sports I would say he is the Jim Clark of billiards. And Efren is so humble he would definitely say Willie Mosconi is the greatest of all time.

[@PhilipKerry]

@@HachikoThePoochInugami He doesn't play " Billiards " , where have you seen him play on a full size Snooker table with one red and two whites ?? Reyes is World Class at Pool but below average at Snooker and I can assure you he has NEVER played Billiards . In America and other parts of the World the term " Billiards " is incorrectly used , probably because they don't have a clue ...........

[@HachikoThePoochInugami]

@@PhilipKerry I see. If you are talking about three-cushion billiards then yes, he also plays that, as well as carom. However, if you are talking about English billiards, then I agree, because most Filipinos do not know about it. Hell, most of us don't even know snooker! If only England followed up with the conquest of the Philippines after they occupied Manila in 1762. then we may have adopted the game. But then again, if you say that to Efren's face, he will definitely agree with what you've said because he does not brag his achievements, for the greatest of all time never claims he is the greatest.

[@peppemberton9948]

He uses same size balls and pockets/net as Jordan on a table half the size of a snooker table....simple

[@nrford100]

For the record, I didn't give thumbs down, but I would assume that the thumbs down are not for Efren but for the person who put together the video. The video maker doesn't seem to know pool very well since the video of his "magic shots" contains some shots that even I can make. For example, the 4-rail around the table shot is one a beginner can make with a little practice, yet it is shown TWICE. Other relatively easy ones are 2-rail bank shots (more impressive, but still easy, is to hit a 2-rail bank hard enough that it goes past the first side pocket then from there backs up into the other side pocket), long cut shots, and the easy kick shots. Back in the day, I made those shots many times. All the inclusion of such shots does is to dilute the effect of seeing the truly amazing shots which I wouldn't make in 1000 tries.

To those who compare Efren to a a snooker player. Get real. If Snooker was famous in the Philippines, Efren probably would play it and master it. But Billiard and pool are the games of the Filipinos. Efren has tried snooker before but it is not his game although he can still kick ass of any world class snooker players. Efren knows angles and wont make a difference.

[@Trollificusv2]

Man, I used to think that the sport with the greatest gap between regular player and the top, top pros...was golf. I mean, even a good publinx golfer is playing tic-tac-toe while the pros are playing chess. And other sports, a rec league player can hit a few 3s in a row, a baseball amateur can mash a home run perfectly, etc., etc. But this...Reyes, when he assesses a shot, isn't even seeing the same things most of us would. Conceptually, it's a different game. Combine that with apparent perfect stick control, and this is really something to see.

[@zengrath]

This is cool. I know enough about pool to understand how he's doing these shots and have made good amount of these myself at some point during practice play but the major difference between me and him is, i may knw how, but it would take me a lot of tries to make most of these, for him he likely was confident to know he had a good chance of making many of these shots before attempting it during a match. I'd have to put thousands of more hours into pool and still likely won't have the consistency to pull of these shots like this during a real match. But this is why I love pool, the different levels of skill and mastery is just insane and even at the most professional levels there is still room for improvement and still different players with different skill sets. No one can possibly master everything, there isn't enough hours in a lifetime to do so.
