    Too bad we didn't have better video cameras back then. That was probably the greatest match that has ever been played or ever will be played.

    I was so fascinated by Efren and this match, when I got interested in pool a few years ago, that I have watched it all the way through, 4 times. Your analysis has added much to its appeal; your detailed insights have shown me new ways to think of some shots. Thanks Tor!

      Not really a good option… that 3rd rail is far from the 8 ball… Actually this 3 rail shot is more a 4 rails shot that leave you quite far from the 8 ball! ;)

    I'm not much of a player but are you sure about that 7 ball shot at the 12 minute mark? I'm a little unclear on what you mean by "natural path". It isn't the 7 ball tangent line which ends in the bottom corner pocket. Doh! The 7 ball isn't where I thought it was. I thought that it was on the second diamond on the long rail, but actually it was about 1 3/4 diamonds from the end rail, not 2. Moving it that quarter diamond towards the end rail makes quite a difference. I can almost imagine performing this shot after a few hundred more attempts.

  • @MrADVANCEDTEK
    @MrADVANCEDTEK 10 місяців тому

    i "liked" this video a while ago but you missed explaining the two-way shots that give's him a safety net increasing his confidence . Tor you need to include the psychological affect it has to each shot to be more prepared knowing his potential run and use every chance at the table to turn it around. No one can say they always beat Efren in a strategy match but I think they can learn the knowledge over a "make every ball" game cause if not I'll lose state of mind. Prove me wrong or right! What sux is that I don't play too many players that understand this. Most just give me chances to let them beat themselves and just really get mad when they put all their heart to win! I only play 2 shots ahead most games with 2-3 breakout attempts. Yup alwayys! I know it sounds cocky and way too crushing like everyone I play which I do give everyone a obvious coach. I won't let them beat themselves! I'm still hated but I don't care anymore. I play in tourneys to put my game under my own microscope which I lose a lot!!

    Tor, I found something from the World pool masters I thought you might get a kick out of. It is a result from one of Jayson's breaks that looks like a virtually perfect stick man. It's here:
    ua-cam.com/video/0MLjUVd2cLY/v-deo.html
    It is so nearly perfect that it caught my eye. I commented that I could just hear some instructor or UA-camr saying:
    "And if you get the stick man break result you could ..."
    Cheers and happy holidays :) Thx again for the videos.

      @@jerrycasey1053 a friend of mine was the referee for this match. Strickland had total control of the match - he had a big lead and then missed a few critical shots and Efren caught fire. Strickland, in his prime, is probably the best nine ball player of all time, but Efren certainly has as argument. Both great players.
