@@jasonblais1667 me too. finding angles on the table to hit a ball is better than just simply jumping it. safety shots are better to watch when no one use jump cues
Same, agreed you may need a straight cue preferred weight maybe but that’s it. The rest is….. Marketing, selling an illusion that a product connected to a celebrity somehow will greatly improve your game. You see in this in any market type
He still just plays with whatever they give him to play with which is what he did 40 years ago, and of course, sometimes he didn’t travel with his own cue- he had one waiting where he was going…
I remember the first time i watched Efren, i didnt know people actually played pool professionally until then, but just by watching him play 8ball against Siegel I knew he was the goat and that was about 8 years ago, he got me interested in the game, and now I play pool almost everyday🙌🐐.
Damn Efren using a carbon break cue. Literally the first time I've seen him say he's been using carbon. Also his EBR cue looks like the Mezz LE cues that Mezz made for him
Efren has been using that Predator break cue with a Predator playing shaft for at least a couple of years now. He actually plays the whole game with it. I see he has a Predator pool case also. Efren could have made extra millions of dollars in sponsorship from companies like Predator and Taom chalk, a tip company, ect. But he just sticks to what he likes to play with.
Love Effren. Feel he is to pool what Ronaldinho was to football. Super creative entertaining fun player to watch that always plays with a smile on his face.
he used a 10 dollar cue stick when he first time went to America to compete. The cue stick is owned by Ceasar Morales. He won the tournament using the same screen name Ceasar Morales
He was with a Japanesse company last time. I guess he's a free agent and went to Predator first gene 314. I use second gene 314 and a 16oz Nick Verner break cue (12.75mm/wood).
This was great Karl. Thanks. Hope Efren will be at the USOpen this year and hope to meet him. Going with a friend and cant wait. It starts on my birthday. Hope to meet you too Karl!
Efren is not a fan of jump cues. Because of one thing, it defeats the purpose of the safety. You make a perfect cover then the opponent simply jumps over it 🤷🏻♂️ But saw a video once he jumped a ball but idk if he used a jump cue tho
For the shaft I agree but for break I think many player break better than Efren from the Philippines there is Jeff de Luna which doesn't score good in tournament unfortunately, but there is Shane with cuetec with his iconic break and some other but it's hard to justify the idea....the Efren signature shaft is good tho
Always humble. And a great ambassador of the sport. Salute to the one and only GOAT of pool.
How can you not like Efren. To be so Good, yet, so Humble!!
At this point every head must bow, every tongue must confess.. he’s the greatest of all time 👏
NO DOUBT HE'S THE GOAT,LIVING LEGEND
this was from mike tysons
@@brianbrincesmd yes.. it was from mike to ali 👍
Thank you Karl...for featuring Efren 👍🙂😊
Thanks again Karl we appreciate you both
My pleasure!
nicest way to say "I don't use jump cues" 😂😂 🐐
They don't make Efrens like they use to anymore
i like the game without jump cues

@@JT28. I hope they'll ban the jumps in the Reyes Cup
Old school. Nothing fancy. Legend of the sport.
Hands up, bow down, I salute with a Cuestick in the air to the a very humble man.
wow an old 314 nd shorter than his normal 60" cue length. Still my hero for the last 30yrs. the GOAT!
I suspect Efren would still be the GOAT if he played with a mop handle and an Elk tip glued to it.
Same, agreed you may need a straight cue preferred weight maybe but that’s it. The rest is…..
Marketing, selling an illusion that a product connected to a celebrity somehow will greatly improve your game. You see in this in any market type
😂 yeah 100%
Agree
Pool is 1 of the few sports you can still play over the age of 60 and continue to be feared.
😂 you are right 👍🏼
He still just plays with whatever they give him to play with which is what he did 40 years ago, and of course, sometimes he didn’t travel with his own cue- he had one waiting where he was going…
The legend, always humble. I don't think there will ever be someone as great as him in this sport. Much love from Guyana.

Nice comment thanks ☺️
Efren "The kick shot magician" Reyes, without jump cue
and btw, the Ko brothers also have a new video with Efren, amazing bank shot
Damn Efren using a carbon break cue. Literally the first time I've seen him say he's been using carbon. Also his EBR cue looks like the Mezz LE cues that Mezz made for him
It's been a long time coming and finally we get this video
No jump. I love him even more.
Yep, man has enough skill to roll that cue ball anywhere he intends to.
Makes him harness his creative instincts all the more.
Efren has been using that Predator break cue with a Predator playing shaft for at least a couple of years now. He actually plays the whole game with it. I see he has a Predator pool case also. Efren could have made extra millions of dollars in sponsorship from companies like Predator and Taom chalk, a tip company, ect. But he just sticks to what he likes to play with.
I also seen him in early 2000 a Cuetec shaft combined with another half local finish brown from Pampanga manufacturer.
@@blueznote5360 that ain't a pampanga cue, but rather from bulacan. made by joel dadivas
my fav pool player all the time
Does he still tell people that he 'just got lucky'? 😂
🐐🇵🇭
He does still say that hahaha
as always! haha
Love Effren. Feel he is to pool what Ronaldinho was to football. Super creative entertaining fun player to watch that always plays with a smile on his face.
Efren is to the Pool as MESSI is to footbball😊
The only athlete in the world without basher
I love how even today's most elite pros pretty much unanimously idolize Efren and consider him the GOAT
Jason Shaw's cue case has an Efren Reyes signature on it.
Thank you Karl! As always!
No worries! 😌
Gotta love the legend🔥🔥🔥awesome opportunity to do a WITB with Efren. Keep it up Karl you’re doing amazing things !!!💪💪💪
Thank you 🙌
5% cue
95% skill
The legend .❤ respect: thank you karl 🙏
Whatever he use it will work for him simply because he is use to playing with worst thing or condition but still plays well and win.❤🎉
EBR cues....love it
Why does everybody love Efren? Simple despite of his success he is still the most humble human being on earth. #GOAT
the Goat keeps it simple... no fancy BS ...REAL Class..... MASTER ;-)
Easily one of the forefathers of escaping from safeties,very innovative player
A gentle Beast !!
Another great video, thanks for sharing Karl. I hope Efren never stops playing, he's such a legend to have around the game.
You and me both!
he used a 10 dollar cue stick when he first time went to America to compete. The cue stick is owned by Ceasar Morales. He won the tournament using the same screen name Ceasar Morales
These videos are the best! Thank you, Karl
Glad you like them!
the first series of 314 is hell of a shaft, so precise yet it gives such a good "alive" feeling
That cue sticks are valuable and its a high value of course when sold in the market.
He used to own a $10 cue stick for decades before he upgraded to a descent one. They're both gifts from friends. Truly a legend.
Awesome person, such a down to earth guy. cheers Karl, this was a nice surprise
Glad you enjoyed it
master tip master tisa. lupet!
This is great Karl, I hope matchroom shines a light on earl strickland at some point
Thanks 🤩
The greatest of all time 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The goat 🐐 hey my man lovely video yet again. The goat 🐐 🙌🏻 #HeyPoolFans #PoolLife
Thank you Karl.
The most simple, yet the greatest of them all.
Where the cues? . It's priceless ❤
Can we please get a video with The Slayer Lee Van Corteza!?!?!? Been dying to see what he's using these days.. love your content sir!!!!!
where we can get this kind of EBR Cues.. official website of the cues thank you

Wow.... Thanks for bringing us the GOAT. Thx mate😎👍
Thanks Karl. Great interview
No worries
True Legend….
I will be at the Reyes Cup in October for my birthday. I hope I can get a pic with him while I'm there.
Amazing 🤩
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife I watch your videos. I would love to be able to meet you as well!
Because of that , i will subscribe 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thanks
awesome video karl, thanks .. goat Efren reyes is the best
Thanks 🤩
The very humble champ❤thanks karl😎💯💪🫰
Pre cat 314 were my favorite predator shafts.
lo mejor que vi siendo fanático del billar pool
What’s the size of tip and is it soft or hard?
No jump cue? efren did not use jump cue?
Efren doesn't jump. He kicks.
The cue looks like it might be by Zen Cues...similar design with the Ko brothers.
Really nice und humble guy
I wonder if you’ll do the “What’s in my Case” video for the Junior pool player? From Savannah Easton, Tanvee Vallem.
Savannah is pro so I suspect when they meet in a tourney maybe. She does have a nice Lucasi setup.
Hell yeah legend great video
Glad you enjoyed
He was with a Japanesse company last time. I guess he's a free agent and went to Predator first gene 314. I use second gene 314 and a 16oz Nick Verner break cue (12.75mm/wood).
When I play pool, they call me the magician too. But it's because I can take a perfect run-out situation and turn it into crap. Just like magic.
This was great Karl. Thanks. Hope Efren will be at the USOpen this year and hope to meet him. Going with a friend and cant wait. It starts on my birthday. Hope to meet you too Karl!
Yes come find me at the bar 🤩
@karlboyes7844 Sounds good man. Drinks on me! See ya there
Legend. Respect!
Man if it was commercialized every pool fans would love to look or buy the cue
Where can i buy EBR
I think that Elk Master is a "Milk Dud". Woodward used(es) the same.
Not a lot of stuff in the bag really but he's a killer anyway!
is that a predator bk2 break cue the black one? karl..
Yes sir
ohh, my idol Efren Reyes, Thank you Karl!
My pleasure!
Efren is not a fan of jump cues. Because of one thing, it defeats the purpose of the safety. You make a perfect cover then the opponent simply jumps over it 🤷🏻♂️
But saw a video once he jumped a ball but idk if he used a jump cue tho
Great you made this video Karl and meeting Efren. I'm sooooo jealous 😉
Thanks! 😃
Efren is great. He has people who make cues for him.
Lovely!
Predator sad for not paying this man he clearly likes using their shafts and break cues. They should've given him his own line of cues.
For the shaft I agree but for break I think many player break better than Efren from the Philippines there is Jeff de Luna which doesn't score good in tournament unfortunately, but there is Shane with cuetec with his iconic break and some other but it's hard to justify the idea....the Efren signature shaft is good tho
karl maybe you can show us some videos of efren in that event
Elk tip and Masters chuck! 😅 classic guy.
Nice BREITLING Karl 👍🏼
Thank you 🤩
Hope someone writes a book on his life while he still with us
Nice one Karl 👍 The bag everyone has been waiting for. Been thinking of getting a playing shaft for my BK2 and traveling light. Cheers 🍻
Have fun
the goat!
nice cue.. the goatzilla
efren the god of pool
Deadly!
I have one 314 first edition on my old BEAR cue
BEAR lol
My best pool cue was 2k1 predator with a 1st gen 314 shaft, back when the quality of wood was top notch! Efren knows
If Netflix will not make a documentary about The Goat Ebr. I will cancel my subscription.
Stay tuned…..
How can I get / buy one?

Lol this video shows that you don't need the latest to be the greatest. Original 314, elk master tip and master chalk, its like going back in time.
yep, all the old tested stuff is good enough - if you are
simple makes you a legend.
I watched another what’s in the bag with Efren in the 80s or 90s and he said he was playing with a 100,000 dollar cue.
That's in Yen Currency
Nice to feature the greatest pool player
All I have ever used us Elkmaster......
Wow, thanks for this Karl..
My pleasure!
Eklant is also using a 314 ....if i m not wrong
314/2 shaft he uses
OG 314 stonks just went up
Maybe a episode soon about EFREN CUP?
Oh yes
EBR CUP!!!
I believe Efren uses one-piece cues with high deflection cues?
We need the nugget mr Steve Davis think a snooker player would shake up what’s in the bag
