Efren Reyes calls the 10 ball in the side

[@danbaxter4216]

I’m not even a fan of tennis, but even I know this was a great goal.

Table tennis & touchdown

[@goatie0817]

it's a fade away shot mate!

@@goatie0817,I had to google "fade away shot". 🤣

[@jeffersonrundell7540]

Oh yea... That's tennis is much more complicated than people think. 🤣

[@jameslowe2979]

Are you stupid? you can tell it's not tennis because the pitch is too small and the bat is not the same.

[@MrKockabilly]

Just a split second to decide that he would do it, wasted no time to execute it, and the fact that he did it in a game and took the risk to entertain us is the final proof - Efren is the GOAT.

[@TheSteve1175]

Definitely 👍✨️

[@MrJayteedeal]

If you look at around the 5 or 6 sec mark, he started smiling. He knew RIGHT then he was going to try that shot….. he probably saw it 2 shots prior, but for sure one shot prior. GOAT !!!

[@madeovstarstuff]

There is no-one else like him.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

@@MrJayteedeal Not 'try', DO!

[@johnjohnsonjohn]

And he set himself up for that shape on the 10 to begin with

[@TheMnoer48]

Efren smiled when he realized he could use this shot to entertain the crowd. The best.

[@bradsimpson8724]

This is why he's the GOAT. It's not just because he has amazing abilities on the table. It's because he regularly ended matches with ridiculously unnecessary trick shots just because he wanted to entertain. And if you watch him throughout his career, it's very clear that he's always the guy having the most fun at the tournament.

[@chambatips3619]

He is like the Mansour of pool

[@beedatrottv8708]

Indeed. 🙌

[@austinhernandez2716]

That's not the only reason. He almost always got out of the hardest situations you can think of. Like the z shot.

[@leadlefthand]

Efren is too good, he needs to do trick shots to make the game challenging enough for him.

[@aaajjjmmm1863]

​@Reality you a 🤡 lol

[@kelvikelv5322]

His thoughts were higher than everyone else. After Efren retired, I once heard Earl Strickland say, "What would Efren do in this situation?"

[@Tam0de]

Earl really did say that?

[@mcmcmcjose992]

​@@Tam0deyes. There is a video on KZbin. I forgot the title. But earl says while playing casually "what would efren do in this situation? I think he gonna kick it" then he proceeds to kick the shot and goes in. Then he laughs and says "if you're on tough situation, just think what would efren do"

[@farmdreamer342]

Ah, we are lucky to have a Magician played this game. Even his opponents clap at him. What a legend, GOAT indeed in his craft.

Man!!! This made me really happy!

Efren the only player willing do trick shot in a crucial game.

[@anton1949]

Efren sees a different game than others. What great position, and shot.

[@Labgorilla]

The cheeky smiles. That is a man who has mastered his art.

[@rogercornelio995]

The beauty of this shot happened before the last ball on the side pocket!!! Watch the video very closely, u will notice Efren’s grin when the cue stopped exactly where he wanted it to be!!! It’s simply PERFECTION!!!

[@anton1949]

Yeah, he knew that was the important part of that stroke.

[@sullywinn4225]

The initial grin when he thought of it, the chalk slam when he decided to go for it, the crowd laughing... Great 30 seconds.

[@nomerc3608]

There comes a time whenever you can just see that your out classed! There’s no amount of luck that can save your butt, your checking account and everything else you own! Some times it’s best to just keep your trap shut and watch the show being put on before you! Best to just keep your pie hole shut before your mouth writes a check you can’t cover! When men stare playing for stakes far more than you can cover! Graciously accept the invitation for the show that you’re about to see! Be the quiet mouse in the corner! You don’t want to be seen nor heard! All the while as you are drinking in as much as the knowledge put before you!

[@kenshiman90]

great comment, very perceptive

[@beedatrottv8708]

Well calculated it is. 👍

[@eduardomandiola7138]

Never get tired of watching the master.

[@Martykun36]

the audible "what" before the shot sells it

[@ringing7]

Insane! Would have been spectacular if he had taken 45 seconds to both recognize that the shot was makeable and visualize the proper execution ... it took him 10 seconds ... a couple of secs of which he wasn't even looking in that direction 🤔🤪

[@Twobarpsi]

I know this guy is good I followed him for years, but that's just incredible!

[@annunakimacky6351]

Tha one shot alone is enough proof why Efren is the greatest of all time! :-)

[@piman9280]

I'm not a "pool" person, but the set up shot followed by the most amazing final pot would be enough to make him the GOAT!

[@vermont741]

[@jj963963jj]

More superior and precise than a mathematician, real cool ......... 👍👍

[@syxQn]

That is one of the most insane shots pool world will ever witness. So many thought made in this perfect shot. The opposite spin on the cue ball to make the 10 hit the cushion and go left.. The compensation to that is insanely hard... The 10 could easily be pocketed to the left upper corner.. The holding of the cue ball... Its creepy that he called it and made it so perfectly... Hes a genius.

[@edisontesla3932]

I think a shot like that is one of the many fluke shots made by novices that Efren witnessed and somehow perfected. And somehow, he has the muscle memory and the guts to perform them on TV. He said that he sometimes uses practiced flukes during serious games when that particular fluke shot is the only option in a certain position. It is clear in this vid, he was just showing off to entertain the audience.

[@AZHOLEN1]

The smile before walking over means he planned it already 😮

[@onnyt60]

Yep. No second thought just down and shoot it. Most players would have to think it over for a couple of minutes.

[@psychopomp4480]

He literally said "side" and point the side pocket before taking the shot, so it was really planned and calculated.

[@samueldavillo.]

While the ball is rolling

Even before the white ball came to rest, you could see Efren smiling because he was already anticipating that shot. Watch for a sly smile early in this video. When he hits the chalk on the table, he knows exactly what he's going to do.
