@Accu-Stats Video Productions Thank You

[@TheNateWalking]

I have learned that the only acceptable commentary for pool is something like, “Efren is thinking about a shot. I cannot speculate about anything he may do because he is the GOAT. Oops he missed the shot. That must have been his plan all along because Efren is the GOAT. Efren made a shot. Of course he made the shot. He is the GOAT.”

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

Probably the most intelligent and honest comment ever posted on any comments section in youtube history

[@TheNateWalking]

@@chriscripplercruz1833 thanks lol

[@comediantomryan]

This is probably the third different commentator I've seen on youtube who refers to Efren as "Efrem." It drives me crazy. Show some respect and get the name right. He is, after all, one of the greatest pool players of all time. He might even be THE greatest player of all time. EFREM? Good God.

[@AccuStats]

I agree. He can't help himself. :)

[@rockyj2008]

HE IS THE GOAT

[@thebestdiscgolfer]

Right! It bothers me too.

[@Dancindazed]

I think he's trying to say Efren. You can hear him say it perfectly a few times. I think he just has a type of slur or speech synthesis problem that makes it difficult. I wouldn't be so harsh.

[@paulsmc7041]

Accu-Stats: Thanks for putting this up. I'm just curious, what caused those two or three (small) gaps. the "Time Warps."

[@MrJdsenior]

Start it @ 2:24:44. You can see Pagulayan clowning about "how in the heck" am I supposed to extract this ball from that deep in that pocket. Then you can INSTANTLY see his face change 100% to sheer concentration when he SEES whatever the hell it is he sees. Near as I can tell that extraction involved a double kiss, and one that had to be executed, for all practical purposes, perfectly, to make the second kiss occur a MINUTE distance past the line orthogonal to the pocket side, just a mil too much and scratch guaranteed. It was an AMAZING shot. I've commented several times that it amazes me how REALLY good one pocket players are incredible at doing this, but that shot, in my book, is the ultimate example I have ever witnessed. I know a goodly amount about simple physics, and I'm not sure i would have thought that possible, without seeing it...STELLAR execution. If my damned pool hall ever opens back up, I'm going to have to play with that shot. At my level of skill might take me twenty or more tries, (;-P ) but, by god, I'm gonna make it happen, just to witness it in person. Amazing and incredible are vastly overused, but in this case, for me, they are 100% applicable. Efren's two rail bang out of the opposite corner out of his own was pretty spectacular, too, and Pagulayan's obvious joy at seeing it (humongous smile, eyes involved), WHEN the shot cost him the game, puts him way up in the "class act" category. Fun match to watch. Not the finish I wanted to see...typical "reward" for a well played shot (Pagulayan's final). Personally, I don't know who the commentators were here, but it was VERY good commentary...obviously highly knowledgeable, great analysis of options (including reasoning for) and completed shots. I learned several things. Thanks.

[@joebradley1520]

It's really not that hard to execute. The angle shot of the table made it look as though the ball was in deeper.

[@Mikebauero]

The commentators are so bad I have to turn the volume off 😫

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

I didn't notice it until I just watched it again tonight that Efren has a extreme amount of respect for Alex two games he gave him the balls I don't think I've ever seen him do that before that I can think of that shows tremendous respect for him

[@patrickbaker2802]

have known danny from miami for years, and it is a fair knock that not everybody leaves a bank every time. He hypothizes just a little bit, but give him his due: he is a killer straight pool player, and plays all the games very well for decades. Perhaps someone will talk to him about refining his commentary so as to impart more of his wisdom and less of his chattering. I got to play him one pocket one long day and got reamed, destroyed, beaten by a focused, dedicated pool maestro. I learned something; i mimic the way he chalks- he grabs the shaft 18 inches from the tip, and applies the blue powder by grabbing the shaft that way. Unusual. Miami in the 70's had danny and mike morillo as ninja assassins in pool halls long closed for years.

Just baffling to me. Whichever commentator is contributing his nose-snoring to the effort here, apparently has never heard of Efren Reyes in 30+ years of championship play. Strolls his way into the matchroom, reads the names on the board, "Effrum? Never (snoooore) heard of him but alright, let's get (snoooore) this match started."

End of second game commentator says two nothing Alex when it's 2-0 Efren. One of the commentators is calling Efren Efrem. I find these commentators annoying. I find most commentators annoying. These are two of the top six one pocket players in the world. I could care less what shot the commentator would play. Maybe just try to keep track of which player has which pocket. Best commentator ever: Box Patterson on POV Pool. He discussed the strategies and tactics of the game rather than trying to forecast what shot the player is going to play. Daniel Busch does that all the time and more than half the time he is wrong. You don't hear commentators in any other sport trying to outguess the players themselves. All that said this is some extremely high level one pocket!
