Efren Reyes vs Johnny Archer 2003 World Pool Championship

[@LeeArmstrong-e6i]

Thank you for showing how Effren holds his cue while shooting,it explains how he maintains the speed of his shot, control of the cue ball,thank you I needed that.

[@HeribertoPabon-bq6cv]

The softer you hold you cue the straightener the cue glides..beaking you againg hold it gently now the cue is dead weight to break harder with less effort..I was a child prodigy but in the back country in Puerto Rico I didn't know there were tournaments so I went to college instead...now at 72 people wonder why me a businessman can shoot shots that seem impossible 😅

But he knows the sport and winning, his claim of not being a pool player is mostly unjust, his top level ability hasn't translated to the small table unfortunately. He and Jim Wych are the two best commentators in pool; the rest I painfully tolerate...

Also, from around 9:50 - 10:08, an instrumental version of "Guess Who's Back" by Eminem starts playing... it's shocking and amazing at the same time.

I hold my cue similar to Efren on the break, but at the second of contact, I’m quite grippy. I feel like he probably is too.

[@stopdrinkingleftskoolaid6510]

I love when the commentators say things like “ looks like he (Efren) is going to have trouble with the 5 ball” (after sinking the 4 ball then he just simply stops it where it’s directly in line with the 5 ball for an easy shot). This tells me the commentators are SOOOOO far below Efrens skill level that they couldn’t see the easy positioning for the 5 ball. Maybe it’s best to just keep your lack of experience to yourselves instead of announcing to everyone how LITTLE you know about the strategic positioning of the cue ball for the next shot.

[@RingJando]

I figured out how Archer became a No. 1 player - by the time he takes his shot & sweeps away imaginary dust & picks lint that isn't there, the other player has fallen into a deep sleep & loses his mind & coordination

At 53:28, commentator says “ I’m surprised Efren left that much distance between the cue ball and the six”. I wonder if he can do better.

[@djamo1969]

I think he meant that he was surprised at the distance between the cue ball and the 6 is because Efren is so good. And he's right. 9.5 times out of 10, Efren makes a better shot than that one. I can make a better shot than that, too; though, I can probably do it about 6.5/10. Maybe less. LOL.
