Efren Reyes vs Naoyuki Oi - One Pocket - 2023 Derby City Classic rd 6

[@donm1547]

The analysis of the shot possibilities is superb

[@mikedaly8694]

Thank you. And more certainly thank you for the commentating. I know that aint easy but man yiu have a gift for it

[@antdit]

Scott at the top of game. What a pleasure to watch and listen and learn. Bravo !

[@donm1547]

Scott's commentary absolutely does not afford a second commentator. His rapid, thorough, and usually accurate, assessments keep me glued to the game.

[@ericsatriani]

i was able to watch the whole length of the game because of the excellent and on point commentary,Thanks

[@RichardsWorld]

The perfect game for Efren to play these days. He doesn't need a big break shot, and he can use all of his other skills. He should do well in straight pool also.

[@rackyballboa5744]

Scott Frost, the commentator, is articulate and enuctiates every word clearly, no verbal tics, and makes the game more interesting.

[@yvans8994]

You are absolutely right I love to listen to Scott he got me FROZEN

[@sdickinson5234]

The thing about Scott Frost and Jeremy Jones is they stay engaged and enthusiastic even during what many people would consider the boring parts of the game. Other commentators feel like they need to tell stories or something to keep people entertained during those up table games.

[@claudedillon9646]

​@@yvans8994😅😅😅

[@dbmccoy12]

Problem is he talks too much!!! His constant predictions are annoying.

[@pearlanaban246]

For years it is just now that I really had watch Efren's game and appreciate pool game. Proud of him. Still playing at his age and seems just he's just enjoying his passion

[@donford7437]

I really enjoy Scotts commentary, a lot of knowledge and shot recognition. I learn alot from him while I am learning this infuriating game

[@Blessed.2.Teach.4God]

Scott is almost the only commentator I HAVE to watch with the volume on, mute is not an option. Jesus loves you Scott, seek the Lord while He may be found - Much love✊

[@josephcramer9052]

Great commentary. Really enjoy the way you explain every detail of when to do something and why.

[@pavlosgermanidis2754]

Thanks for the upload! What a masterclass :)

[@paulcass3180]

You do a great job, Scott!

[@rhyslucero1400]

I like the commentator. He is very knowledgeable about 1 pocket. Of course he can’t know what the shooter sees, but he is good at giving the options the shooter is considering.

[@l720gaming]

The commentator is Scott Frost, one of the best to ever play one pocket. You should look up some of his matches, very entertaining.

[@felicianosantiaguel2901]

Best one pocket player, best commentator for the game. Along with T rex

[@edgarjimenez7600]

Most of us who listen to this guy don't like the fact he call every shot and talk through the match that ok for people who don't know shit about pool.😂

[@fernandomarcos4027]

​@@l720gaming😊

[@Stonefalconetti]

Scott Frost one of the best...if not the best american money player ever.....

[@idapilardejesus3871]

Excellent choices. Great explanations and execution of shots!!! Thanks.

[@JohnSmithJr-r7b]

HEY I'M FROM KENTUCKY 🇺🇲

Watching fr Paranaque City, PH🇵🇭

[@Stollberger72]

The GOAT plays, a legend comments. What more do you want? Thanks!

[@DominiKing32]

26:17 what a brutal safe by the GOAT.

[@fastballonly]

Yeah, Efren racked him.

[@dennisjackson1251]

The FREEZER always does a great job at commentating!

[@richardfriedlander8281]

great job Scott

[@rationalist8805]

Scott - excellent commentary. I've picked on Jeremy Jones in the past - especially with regards to the Mosconi cup - but his pool knowledge is really quite incredible and deserves to be acknowledged. I am finding your knowledge of one pocket to be at that very high level. And inside tips like @01:08:55 add a certain level of human reality to things.

[@andrewverrett568]

The greatest all around pool player of all time.

[@salvimar6895]

I Love you Idol Efren Reyes . You inspired a lot of Pilipino players.

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

You're too humble, no need to be, you're a great commentator. Calm, knowledgeable, and articulate so we dudes and dudettes who don't have English as our native lingo still easily understand you👌

[@tz8055]

Wow. Great game!

[@boothby1027]

策略領先、所以準度慢慢磨、準度夠、但帶經驗、帶幸運、接著領先。 準度當然驚人、尤其Reyes這個年紀。 但整體來說、一袋球規則、仍是沒有到極度複雜 --- 還是九號球領先。 但一袋球較為新奇、可以發展。 一袋球如其名、進攻一袋為主、防守時可集中對方的進攻袋同側、再慢慢把球送回自己的進攻袋。 這已接近極佳大方向策略、所以我才認為一袋球、仍是新鮮感大於困難度。

[@oldproji]

I like Scott Frost. as a commentator. He is also a pretty decent player himself.

[@bfrytech]

Wish they would give Scott some better camera views. He knows what he's talking about but he's handcuffed by the angle

[@RailbirdsTV]

Completely agree. This is all we have to work with, unfortunately. Next year at DCC we should be able to setup better camera angles (and multiple cameras per table)

[@wdiddy1]

Efren loves chess and 1 pocket requires thinking, strategy and patience, all the same attributes needed to play chess well. Amateur players get impatient and go for shots that loses them the game and it's not fun watching them play 1 pocket but those games do end quicker for the most part.

[@calie01915]

Good match.

[@fastballonly]

I like that Oi is playing one-pocket. It is not a game played in Japan.

[@Arnie.Y]

10:22 Efren spotted an extra ball. His foul was canceled out with Oi's. Supposedly he's on 4.

[@RailbirdsTV]

Yes, Oi was playing by the rule that when both players owe a ball they cancel each other out. Efren was unaware and proceeded to spot the ball he thought he owed. So Efren was spotting Naoyuki 9-8 that game :)

[@TimothyNH]

Maybe he forgot the elimination of the foul rule.

[@timferrier2704]

Good GRIEF! Effron is so unbelievable! He won all 3 games of one pocket, his apponent dropped 7 balls total! JUST WOW!!

[@louisbuzzi869]

Efren Reyes is my favorite player though.

[@yvans8994]

The FREEZER DOES A GREAT JOB KEEPING US FROZEN 🥶 😅

[@ahmadrifan9026]

One pocket pertandingan yg membosankan 😃

[@rossmargalado4585]

Grandfather efren reyes playing at its best at the age of 69 to 70....and can han

[@sdickinson5234]

I think Efren is probably a better bank pool player than his DCC results show in the bank event. He has several top three finishes though he never won. In such a short race in such a large tournament you can be the best player and still lose ten tournaments in a row. I wonder if he has ever matched up with any top bank pool players. I know he went to Chicago for a while and was learning from Freddy the Beard so he must have played a lot of full rack banks there.

[@clarissemonte5352]

🤔...Efren won 70-90 tournaments ATM. i just don't know categories tho.

[@ManduRugas-oe4kv]

IN THE LATE 70's NOBODY WOULD PLAY EFREN IN TOTATION BACK HERE AT HOME SO HE PLAYED 3 CUSHION AND CAROM BILLIARDS, THATS WHY HE IS AN ALL AROUND PLAYER☺

[@jeffmauldin2841]

At the 8:00 mark where Oi was in the stack and kicked into Efren's corner and scratched i was looking at maybe kicking 2 rails into his own corner at the back of the 6 ball, pushing the 6 into the stack to prevent a return bank and running the cue ball toward Efren's pocket. Very difficult shot I'm sure, and maybe not even possible depending on the angle we can't see from the camera, but it looked like a better option than just taking a foul in the corner if you could move the 6 away even if you didn't get a rail and fouled. Any thoughts on that railbirds or Scott Frost?

[@user-js8uj7tt3f]

ルールが難しくなればなるほどエフレンの知識や精度が生きてくる典型的な試合でしたね。 全盛期と比べれば精度や入れや情熱は落ちてるんだと思うけど、日本勢があまりなじみのないルールだと相手にならない感じさえするところが怖い。

[@fastballonly]

日本人でワンポケットやる人初めてみた。 もっと流行るべきだと思う。このゲームやるとローテーション系のゲームが格段と強くなる。大井がワンポケットで熟練してきたらもっと強くなるはず。 現時点ではまだ基本のショットをマスターしきれていない。

[@kenishida1910]

Scott, your analysis is excellent. Well done. The only flaw is butchering Oi’s name pronunciation throughout: Nah-Oh-Yoo-Key (no syllable emphasis).

[@DonnaChassie]

Question. What's the purpose of the coins under or on top of the left rail?

[@RailbirdsTV]

When they commit a foul, they lose a ball. If they have none, then they owe one, and use coins to keep track.

[@mon-yl8kp]

What cue and shaft efren Reyes use here?

[@derrickallen2054]

45:47 = I would've seriously considered playing a carom off of the 12 ball into the 8 and 9 ball combo with a touch of right english. It would've been easier to hit that combo with a fuller hit and with less force, plus I think maybe would've been easier to end up with a shot on the 8. Obviously I wasn't at the table, but think it was a better option. More great commentary Frost 💪

[@mharocampo2929]

This game is designed to old aged magician... Where tricks and tactics spelled the difference.. No more 8balls/9 balls/10 balls.. 😊😊😊😊

[@junichi0218]

レイズのバンクはやっぱりすごいね

[@kamranjoon]

Great narration. I just wish he would explosion the rules a bit in the beginning and moving forward for those of us in love with the game but without much experience and knowledge. Also when narrators predict the moves or list options, at times their words are so technical that some of us don’t benefit from their great input.

[@bob5365]

Why did Efren spot a ball @10:50 if their fouls negated each other? Was that a mistake?

[@RailbirdsTV]

Yes Efren was unaware that they negated each other. So spotting that ball was a mistake.

[@dorscanseco4207]

Haba ng 0ras di pa natatapos, whats wrong.

[@ronaldroyce2875]

How Did Oi make it to the 6th Round???

[@4theloveoflife431]

Wich queue does Efren play? Anybody knows?

[@magicayu]

It's a US$20 pool cue bought somewhere in his country or hometown. Now if you check Karl Boyes youtube channel, Efren now plays a EBR pool cue made in japan.

[@ItsGonnaHurtAlot]

I'm not familiar with these game modes much, can someone explain the coin for me?

[@jailblazer]

Scott frost's voice sounds less prisonish then i imagined

[@ガク-j1t]

大井プロが弱いわけじゃ無いけど9ballや10ballしかやらない日本人にはOne Pocketはムリだ ゲームの作り方が甘いよ 終始攻められっぱなしじゃん レイズクラスにあのセーフティはbankを狙ってくださいと言わんばかりの配置だよ なぜ日本人がエニーボール poolに弱いか考えないとこの先も世界で活躍出来ないよ 決して大井プロが弱いと言ってるわけじゃない 台湾やフィリピンが何故あれだけ強いのか 何故アメリカでフィリピン勢が活躍出来るのか そろそろ日本人も考えた方がいい

[@jasonhuofficial]

Wasn't 27:43 no rail?

[@RailbirdsTV]

No. The 9 ball hit the rail.

[@jasonhuofficial]

​@@RailbirdsTV Oh you're right. Nevermind!

[@vishybreh]

When did they play this?

[@RailbirdsTV]

January 2023

[@BigfootsWeWe]

This Commentator sounds like a more serious Dane Cook.

[@1-Random-Subscriber]

All time GOAT 😂😂😂😂 English is a derogation to itself as a language now a days

[@abruptlyblunt]

one ball isn't pool, it's special-ed marbles on a table with sticks for adults....

[@CarlosMorales-tf4il]

Alguien que me diga cómo se el juego

[@mudderman8620]

For us noobs, why don’t they ever point out which pocket each player is playing? It takes 15 minutes before it’s obvious.😮😮😮😮😮😊

[@robertdobbins8669]

I don't like repacking the balls when one is made on the break, if your going to play like that , then why do u own one if u scratch on the break ?

[@rockyj2008]

Doesn’t look like Oi knows one pocket much

[@JeanKazaama]

Ok

[@JoemarkCambronero]

Insek si OI.

[@calie01915]

I am not to familiar with one pocket. Do you have to call he ball

[@RailbirdsTV]

Nope, don't have to call anything.

[@elchicowhiteable]

😂😂😂 lmao the commentator should be a mind reader or something lmao he thinks he knows all the players are thinking and then pum nothing that he says happens 😅 is like that friend that we all have that knows it all about every subject 😂 I’m not going to critique lmao 🤣

[@bill8by516]

IMHO, he needs to watch or play Efren a LOT more before commenting on his options. Close, but no cigar.

[@heginschristianstrong7707]

it's Scott Frost. he has played Efren a million times and has beaten him before in a money match. he knows more about One Pocket than most people on the planet.@@bill8by516

[@ramensospicy2992]

you're quite far off mate. Scott Frost is one of the titans of one pocket and his commentary is rich with insight and direct knowledge of the matter.

[@arpeemac]

He’s Scott Frost, a one pocket champion

[@lamrof]

What is this game, long a boring. What does one pocket mean. Why don't they pocket all the balls and get done.

[@MichaelNunn-dm3lz]

- lol
