By posting these vids, you are revitalizing the great sport that is pool. I play at Steinway often, and I appreciate the effort that goes into producing these vids. You are slowly but surely bringing pool back to the level of prominence that it deserves. Thanks!
What a great game. Thank you for video. Both are superior shooters. Efren proves he has magic in his shots and Strickland shows he knows the table and its possibilities!! Beautiful, again thank you for video!!!
Efren Reyes, or the magician, did not gain his exquisite and unique proficiency from nothing. He started playing pool since he was 8 y/o and now he's 65 y/o (dated today) which means he has been playing pool for 57 years (born August 26, 1954). Efren has mastered the entire pool table angles, strikes force, unimaginable control and precision on the cue ball, and a very high self-confidence with absolutely no vanity (He's very humble and friendly by the way). Two more things about Efren Reyes, he has never underestimated any opponent, and he has never neglected the calculation of any hit no matter how easy the ball is. God bless Efren Bata Reyes.
i guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
Great game. Thanks to Steinway Billiards, and also to InsidePoolmag for posting it. I love to see people having fun like this. Clearly Efren was now more used to the table. No offense to anybody but Efren the GOAT.
This was great. Thanks for making this video available. Most people would be better served by not posting negative comments. I enjoyed watching the match and the commentary. Go Efran
you are absolutely correct in explaining the series as they are it's just that Efram is the best i have ever seen and it is delightful to watch a competitor.
keduanya pemain idola saya saya sangat senang melihat pertandingan billiard dan dimenangkan oleh EFREN REYES dan menjadi inspirasi yang luarbiasa bagi saya,semoga saya bisa ikut turnamen
omg. I thought I was neurotic but apparently I am not the only person whose pleasure from watching those two absulutely amazing players was somehow diminished a lot by Zion's commentary. dude - it is really enough to say a comment once. not two or three times in a row! one "good shot!" is really enough for people to get the message. and funny thing - I got surprised a few times when I heard third guy's voice but from comments I can see that Zion just dominated it totally. not nice, Ziom. good to keep your ego at bay. or even better - just leave it home. anyway - thanks for this video, InsidePOOLmag, I love both players!
The commentary was a bit intrusive, and they should've checked levels because it was clipping and just bad audio. Furthermore, it's not necessary to talk so much. A soft approach is far better.
I like how Earl always says nice things about Efren. In the Earl Strickland Presents series, he narrates and analyzes pool matches. He's always saying "Efren would do this here" or "Efren was the best at these shots." In the 9 ball round of this match, when Earl gets applause for a nice shot he says "I learned that shot from Efren. Half this stuff I'm doing here I learned from that man." It's a special bond you share with the people you battled the hardest and how much you needed them to be your very best.
1:29:43 Efren was trying to miss the 10, hit the cushion and bump the 6 out of the way, so the 5 ball could go in that pocket, none of the commentators pick up on that, they thought he hit the 10 on purpose :)
Thanks for the great match to watch. Wonderful stuff! Please please please don't have Xion (sp?) comment again. He may be a great pool player, and a great guy, but halfway through the match I'm sick of hearing him contradict his fellow commentators, talking over them, cutting them off, dismissing their thoughts. ("No no no, he's fine, he's fine...") SO Irritating! no respect.
The commentators argue through the entire match. It would have been more entertaining but it was constant. And then one of them forgot to turn off their phone. When the chick arrived, she and Mr. Giggles flirted awkwardly while he combed his hair In his dreams. She belly laughed when Efren smiled like she was at a Norm McDonald concert after smoking a little hash and inhaling a half slab of ribs at The Rendezvous in Memphis. She would have dropped a log if he'd actually done something funny. I hope she's not the one who stunk up the girls bathroom but I can't rule her out. ER ROCKS!!!. (Go Hogs!!! Bring Bobby back!) In any case, this was a great match. ER Rocks!
@@realityanalyst I didn't know that, thanks. I thought he was too lazy and didn't want to raise his hands to clap. That's why I found it funny. In my opinion clapping hands would be more natural and spontaneous.
Guys I'm good at pool never played nine ball but I can pot broke and finished many times just saying this is probably a stupid question but... Both these players at there best who wil take the win?
@@michaelschmidt2234 Efren 'Bata' Reyes,brother. Ever wondered why the players and the people call him the Magician? :) . Efren grew up in the pool gall off his uncle ,he played form the age of 5 (i think). Even so,he played on a crate of Coca-Cola.. That kind off tells you the age he started playing. :) He literally lived in the pool hall,he SLEPT on the pool table... About the Magician, many people don't know he was a world class 3 cushion biliards players too and an fantastic carom player (like they call it in the U.S.,in Europe we call it carambole(caron).So kicking 2,3,4,5 railes is nothing for him,especially banking,every angle you can think off is routine for him. Many of his legendary matches when he was in his top form are available for watching on the UA-cam channel 'ray carlton billiards'. and many more. Then you will know why they called him the Magician. Watch the famous Z-shot he played... o.O . Kind regards,brother.
"Efren the Magician" defeats Earl by a long shot and I think that was his intention!" Earl played great but he's was up against a The Magician! Great game! ❤️🎱
The Zion guy hurts the broadcast. The sighs, eating the mic, and the not-perfect english are annoying but him interrupting the other guys trying to speak and shouting their opinions down is actually painful to listen to. So rude.
He called the one ball and missed it, but got accidental safe. In that scenario, the incoming player has the option to make you shoot again, and that's what Earl did.
No matter what happens. Efren Bata Reyes is undoubtedly greatest full player of all time. In my fanatic pool fan no one can surpass the tremendous accomplishments of Efren bata Reyes..that is why he is no.1 in the top 10 best pool player of all time. I hope no one will dis agree with me. I have watched All Efrens game. To mention one is The Color for money. Agree dear commentators.?
I think it's Alex in the booth . He said he'd much rather watch a safety battle than see someone jump to get out of a trap . I wholly agree . Great safety play is a thing of beauty . Jumping , with all the noise , cue ball going all over , banging into everything....is just ugly . You rarely see a jump when these two meet up , they'll challenge each other with safeties and work until someone gets away . Beautiful stuff ! There may one day be a challenger to the crown , but Efron and Earl will probably always be the two best on the planet .
If zion kept interrupting me like that, he'd get punched in the mouth. Pull the microphone out of your mouth, shut up, and let the other two guys say something.
What happened around the 36:10 mark? How come Earl took a shot, commented on how lucky Efren is, then went on to shoot again without Efren coming to table?
10 ball is call shot and Earl missed and got accidental safe. The incoming player has the option to make you shoot again, and that's what Efren chose. No lucky safes when you miss a shot you called.
Strickland with all his gear on looks like Barry Bonds batting in the 9th inning of a day game, while also getting ready for a tee time at the local golf course
@@naturalselection71 I like that. I don't want to see someone switching cues every shot. I guess cues will never be as specialized as golf clubs but I like only needing one cue to play the game. Break cues are nice but the only reason you really need one is so the tip on your playing cue doesn't get beat up.
I believe that Efrén Reyes has telekinesis when he concentrates on playing well and can dominate the balls mentally, although Efrén must not know that he has telekinesis unconsciously obviously. What is certain is that Efrén Reyes's destiny is to be the best pool player in the world despite the fact that he has lost pool games because he does not concentrate well...
Iwant to strangle that commentator that always says “yeah.. yeah..yeah..” he feels that hes the one who always knows everything, wont appreciate or give what could be the best tactical move to do. Stupid man. He shouldn’t return when he left. I hope someone cut his tongue or lips apart!! He doesn’t sound like he knows how to play he doesn’t even talk about cueing technique that the players should do. Imbecile! He just sees where the balls are going but didnt knew technicalities of the game. First time as a commentator. Never get him again!! This is the most stupid guy that people have heard in commentating!! “And now what??!!” Stop coughing!!
I love these videos, but you guys have seriously got to turn down the audio level on the commentary. Even with the volume down as low as it will go, it still sounds like you guys are eating the microphone.
+ThatGuyAgen Two things are inevitable when you see Earl play: (1) If he wins, it's a testimony to his l33t skillz (and you won't even have to ask him to get that rendition; he'll gladly offer it free of charge). (2) If he loses, it's for any number of reasons *except* his own questionable execution and/or decisions. He's still the best player in the room (just ask him). Which is why I *love* watching him lose. Don't get me wrong; he's solid. Always has been. One of the best to ever play. But Efren is *humble* and endearing, Earl is just an ass-douche, and that has *nothing* to do with his pool game.
Craig earl makes pool worth watching . earl is a better player than efren I've seen it to many times. only.time efren beat earl is when earl mentally collapses. earl has the best stroke in the game and the best shot maker
Earl is the guy you want to beat the shyt out of on the pool table. No matter what the sport you have earl Strickland's, you just have to deal with it.
It's amazing to watch these two great players taking on each other they're undoubtedly the greatest in the business but I would go with Efren as the goat because he does things that nobody else can and he does it so easy so effortlessly and he can play under any circumstances I remember his historical comeback against Earl in Hong Kong when he was down by 17 games and won the game what stroke me the most in that game was that Efren didn't give up at all and fought till the end to be down by 17 games against Earl Strickland in his prime and come back nobody can do that
he cheated in color of money, purposely coughing all night when it was earls turn to play. earl is a professional, multiple times champion of the world.
@@useranother667 Hmm... probably the single dumbest comment ever written... well done, at least you're tops at something. 👍 And I'm an Earl fan, but that is pure nonsense.
Maybe Tel Aviv would be a nice place to visit for our commentator who can't stop laughing and snorting and smacking his lips. The UK guy is very well-spoken, indeed.
Not sure why the commentators keep saying Earl was handing Efren games. Efren missed just as many shots as Earl missed to give Earl the victory and Earl missed just as many just as Efren did to give Efren victory. Were they at bad times? Yes, but both players played very well in this game.
1:06:37 - the old fat guy in the background falls asleep and his cane hits the table next to him... you can see his friend tell him to wake up next to him 😂😂
I follow Earl on here and try to watch his matches.havent seen any in awhile.anyone know if he is playing?I always figured he will die with a stick in his hand.thanks Steinway for posting this match I've watched them all a few times.
I stand corrected, but I'm pretty sure it's because Earl called to "pot" the ball (blue 2) rather than "safety", and then snookered Efren unintentionally. Sort of like a foul snooker. I think Efren has the option to play or send the player back in.
♠♠. Of course Earl likes the 10-foot table. He's usually shooting with a 6 1\2 - 7 foot cuestick, which allows him to comfortably reach shots that the other players can't.

It's amazing to watch these two great players taking on each other they're undoubtedly the greatest in the business but I would go with Efren as the goat because he does things that nobody else can and he does it so easy so effortlessly and he can play under any circumstances I remember his historical comeback against Earl in Hong Kong when he was down by 17 games and won the game what stroke me the most in that game was that Efren didn't give up at all and fought till the end to be down by 17 games against Earl Strickland in his prime and come back nobody can do that
mohamed kamal he was down 17? Wow
he cheated in color of money, purposely coughing all night when it was earls turn to play. earl is a professional, multiple times champion of the world.
@@useranother667 You've got to be kidding 😂
@@paullaney3339 how so? i spoke facts
@@useranother667 Hmm... probably the single dumbest comment ever written... well done, at least you're tops at something. 👍 And I'm an Earl fan, but that is pure nonsense.
Maybe Tel Aviv would be a nice place to visit for our commentator who can't stop laughing and snorting and smacking his lips. The UK guy is very well-spoken, indeed.
Love how true pros can compete fiercely, yet be good chums.
The most-watched pool player of all time is the GOAT no other than. EFREN REYES..
Never let zion commentate again.
Every time i tell him to shut-up, I'm taking a drink of whiskey.. bout hammered o'er here lol
@@_Ramen-Vac_poor.guy😂
🥳🥳🥳🥃🥃🥃
Hey Earl!!! Where is your helmet
He is sixty years old in this video, but Reyes could still beat the finest players in the world with that level of play--amazing.
Not sure why the commentators keep saying Earl was handing Efren games. Efren missed just as many shots as Earl missed to give Earl the victory and Earl missed just as many just as Efren did to give Efren victory. Were they at bad times? Yes, but both players played very well in this game.

1:44:44 love this shot. and more 2:15:44 , 2:33:33.
Loved this game. Some of the comments being made by the hosts were kind of irritating. Be quiet.
Efren. # 1
1:06:37 - the old fat guy in the background falls asleep and his cane hits the table next to him... you can see his friend tell him to wake up next to him 😂😂
これいつの対戦ですか？
2014年かな。
I follow Earl on here and try to watch his matches.havent seen any in awhile.anyone know if he is playing?I always figured he will die with a stick in his hand.thanks Steinway for posting this match I've watched them all a few times.
1:50:40 so lovely 😦😭😭😭
A great match to be sure. I wish someone else would be making the commentary during the match. I am not a big fan of braying donkeys
Lol
Efren schooled Earl and the commentators too
Yo soy de Colima voy a tratar de encontrar a Rafael Martinez para que se entere de tu vídeo
nice game😊
😊
It's nice they let Earl's life coach on air to commentate.
why earl did shoot two shots in row? 35:30 and 37:20
Meysam Farhoudi That is exactly what I was thinking, right after he said a dicky comment to Efron.
I stand corrected, but I'm pretty sure it's because Earl called to "pot" the ball (blue 2) rather than "safety", and then snookered Efren unintentionally. Sort of like a foul snooker. I think Efren has the option to play or send the player back in.
Effren shot twice in a row at 49:20 without making a ball ... Comment or said he called the shot ?????
Hahahah was soooo much fun watching this mach LIIIVE BABY LIIIIVE !!
senchi kudu Thank you vm for the nice comment
what did earl call effren at 35:47 ?
♠♠. Of course Earl likes the 10-foot table.
He's usually shooting with a 6 1\2 - 7 foot cuestick, which allows him to comfortably reach shots that the other players can't.
