From the Billiard Sages Exhibitions held at Carom Cafe on Aug 4-5th, 2012.
Efren Reyes and Torbjorn Blomdahl play an interdisciplinary billiard challenge of 10-ball and 3-cushion billiards in NYC.
Mazin Shooni and Robert Raiford provide the commentary.
This series was staged as a pool/billiards rematch between the two champions. They played a similar challenge match (in Japan) years ago:

A lot of billiard players that Efren Reyes beat did not know that he is good at carom billiard too.And that is the real advantage "The Magician" has over them. Incorporating carom in his games makes them look Efren as just lucky. Its is not luck, it is skill.
That's why he played one pocket so well.
The fact that he plays billiards is the only thing that made efren special... he isn't the goat, he just has better cueball control because he played a game that relies on that against pool players who never got that... but Efren still wasn't the goat or best, just fun to watch... a GOAT has a record no one can beat and still reaching for... people like Micahel Jordan, Tiger Woods etc are goats... people like Earl Strickland (5 US Opens) and SVB (5 us opens, 3 in a row, 2 world titles in a row) are the GOATS of pool. Billiards GOAT Is Raymond Ceuelemans. Efren is just likable because of his demeanor and doing billiards shots in a pool game. Efren has never achieved any titles that make him goat-worthy or that other people are still trying to beat today (like Earl and SVB).
im only here because of efren's interview regarding his participation on carom at sea games... coz i dunno what the heck it is... but its actually very interesting... now i know why he is that good
M
Carom is a different animal comparing to 9 or 8 ball.
If you're from the Philippines, it's called 'karambola'. It was more popular than pool before the 70s. Efrem would've probably played more of this as a kid before the switch to pool.
@@llltrac9143 Sort of, but it forces the player to learn skills that are often neglected when learning pool.
Did you also know efren is an animal torturer who fights chickens to the death? That's why i don't respect him or watch anymore. plus he's not the goat of pool, that's Earl Strickland and SVB. they have GOAT records same as Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.
Although Reyes is known for pool, carom was the more popular cue sport in Philippines at one time (used to be called 'karom bola' or Carom with balls to differentiate from 'karom' another pocket table game that used pucks). He would've probably grown up playing this more than pool in the 60s.
Carambola in mexico
When i was younger i played 3 ball with some Vietnamese fellows. My pool game was unstoppable after playing 3 rail billiards.
After my lesson videos on the fundamental and basics of pool I was thinking about turning my head to 3 rails. I feel like that would take my level playing to a new level.
@@kalanzartwork7323same boat here bro
It's so great to see these masters play interdisciplinary matches against one another.
true true
u right
Expert commentary and great video quality. Likely a must have dvd
I really like the commentary here.
This is a magical game
Love Robert's Commentary in 3c. Quality insight with good clear diction on the mic
Oh man now i get it why efren's really good.
Master this game then start player pool or snooker. This game will enhance ball position, banking and english but not pocketing.
English?
@@osamabinladen824 Spin you put on the que ball. I think it's especially Americans who call it "english". Confusing enough?
Im here because of Michael Jackson's beat it music video.
How is this related to beat it
@@ruskyhrahsel7723 Someone said it was not a real pool table that it was a mistake of the art department, so this other guy was explaining that it was a table for this other game... Hope this answers your question.
@@riffbaama okay. I don't remember ever watching the music video to be honest. Thanks for the answer. And yes it's a 3cushion or billiard table. It's a different discipline of pool. Harder than pool and less and definitely less popular in my opinion
They are playing invisible pocket
That 7-railer was awesome!
6:45
@@davejameson523 Thanks
This is where Efren honed his geometry skills he became master on this game before he even learned pocket pool..
Yes, are correct i used to watched him playing against amang parica in naga city..
Not true, he first started on 15 ball filipino rotation, which he claimed that during 1973-76 he is so strong in the ph no one would play him so he stopped playing that for 5-6 years and instead play carom and the like
No it's not!! It's because he started to play pool at the young age of 8 and if you know his story, there is a certain times that he make the billiard table as his bed. .
Kaitoti21 is right
I was actually looking to see if any of my snooker favorites played 3 cushion when I came across this. Big surprise to see a video of Reyes (my favorite pool player) playing it. No surprise he's pretty good at it.
Jugarvillar
he mentioned focusing on caroms for a few years before going back to playing pool
Pretty good? He's only playing one of the greatest 3 cushion players alive, and he's holding his own against him.
6:54 just wtf?
It's not an accident. He does get lucky though, but I'm pretty sure he meant that!
not an accident. i can play that too
it was played, for Blomdahl it's not a big deal...
i can play it too. Its no accident. This is how good human beings can be. Its unbelievable i know
you guys would not be good pool commentators...
I bet the winning prize for the last pocket is unreal
this is next level
miamiwax a game of talent. Speed, angles, English, position. Wow.
i heard that this was the first game efren learnt and mastered
@@lo0ksik yes it is... Becoz no one would represent this sport according to him.. And he forcedly join this game to represent the country...
@@NylonStrings83 You idiot. When you say "real billiards" you mean English billiards, which is a good game no one is denying it. But three cushion is considerably more difficult . Please don't insult what other people like to play, especially when its a game that takes quite a lot of talent to get good at.
@@NylonStrings83 what are you talking about. Use correct grammar.
The one and only best all around pool player . The Greatest Of All Time . Efren"Bata" Reyes
in pool he is for sure but pool is sooo easy
@@w.lixfeld8164 a snooker fan spotted. Lol
@@w.lixfeld8164 lol. How can say It's easy when you can't play them both 😂😂😂
I’ve always thought 3 cushion billiards meant 9 ball pool except that you have to do a 3 rail kick shots for every ball before you pocket them.
@Caden Lopez so basically there is white yellow and red ball white and yellow for each of the opponent and they have to touch either the enemy's ball or the red ball and they have to hit the rails 3 times or more to touch the opponent or the red ball then you get a point
Efren was the Only person to win world champion in 2 pool discipline.
Didn’t know Reyes played 3-cushion too
Binh Trinh this is his first mastery
I think it's 1-cushion carom that he grew up playing
he has played all the carom games
I liked the "bad" music video but smooth criminal is by far my favorite.
Who say to Efren Reyes than he can play 3 cushion?
Luis Mario Pérez its funny cause Efren actually learned this kind of game long before pocket pool
Who say to Efren that can't play 3 cushion?
How is this even possible?
For the vast majority of people it's not. 3 cushion is really really hard 🙂
There are systems out there for most shots that the high level players start to incorporate intuitively. The funny thing is, if you use the proper English, a large variety of angles will converge around the same spot after the 3rd rail. And for many shots the ball is positioned where you can play it going off an extra rail or especially 2 out of the corner with the right speed and English such that it reverses off the final rail and has a large window of success. The hardest part about getting to the good player stage is learning to stay out of kisses. The advanced part is position play where you keep balls near corners and often hit softly off the final contact to keep the balls close but not too close that you're stuck behind it. The other part of position play is strategically trying to leave bad position (safe) for the opponent when you are taking on a shot you aren't confident in. Interestingly Efren is a much better player at that, but it's more stylistic. Torbjorn is a hyper-aggressive point scorer and is going to disregard position when playing with speed helps score the point (e.g. as a way to avoid a kiss or in the 7-rail shot where he knew he could get the contact if he made it to that first corner)
They will need to play for decades to pot a single ball🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bobo ka tang Ina mo
شنو قوانينها هاي. شلون يفوز ؟؟
the goat
Can somebody please explain to me how this game works. I know how snooker works if that helps
White and yellow can be use as cue ball. The rule is after hitting the 1st object ball, you need to hit 3 cushions/rail before hitting the second 1.
This is called 3 cushion carom that's why you need to hit 3 cushion, other carom game can be in minimum of 1 cushion carom
Blomdahl already beat Reyes in 3-C and 9 ball in an exhibition.
I love this game and never knew they had tables without holes.
Who else is here after finding out Micheal Jackson used this type of table in his Video? 😅
@iralee3c Ira, how do I get this DVD?
Reyes vs Blomdahl and all you got is seven minutes???? What a schmuck .
How to play this game?i think the cue ball will hit the 2 balls at the same time to score..
Hit the first ball and then the mother ball needs to bounds in the cushion 3 times before hitting the 2nd ball. If the 2nd didnt hit after the 3 cushion bounces, its a bad shot.
3-cushion for everyone but Bata who plays 5!!
How to play this damn game?
@@irmaodofox thanks
صلو على نبينا محمد💜
Can someone explain this game to me I'm so confused. Why are they hitting a colour and why are there no pockets?
Cue balls should hit both balls, last hit should bounce on the rail very simple
@@mokskito4004 cheer but how do you win?
@@atit4096 Once you hit the 2 balls after 3 cushions minimum you get one point and you go on, otherwise it's your opponent's turn to play. The best players during tournaments are doing averages between 1 and 3, meaning they make a between 1 pt and 3 pt in a row for each run they play. Records run are around 18-20 in a row I would say, but i'll let you guys fact check that ! The usual games are won by the first player reaching 40 points (UMB rules in general but there's variants on which I wont go into detail here)... btw Blomdahl just won the world championship yesterday, a great come back for him!

👊💕👊
my idol Efren bata Reyes,
Can someone please tell me what this is and what is the rules
Google search "3 cushion billiard rules"
@@modztar thank you
How this game work? I don't have an idea how to play this game
It's basically 3 cushion carom shot. You can use any balls as your cue ball. You must hit 3 cushions after making contact with the 1st object ball before hitting the 2nd ball. Sorry if it's a bit unclear
@@rymundozss1366 the red ball is not a cue ball, the only you can hit is the white ball or yellow ball.
You cannot use red ball as cue ball. The red ball is the target otherwise
klas du ia hebat
what's happening
Honestly, i want to put a pocket atleast one! 😁
Torbjorn ready for pool!
I don't get it no pockets on the table what is the game about?
@Batflip 09 if im not mistaken efrens opponent in this vid blomdahl is one of the greatest 3 cushion player around but he did not do really well at pool some cue artist r blessed to be a natural all around player just like Efren.
Torbjorn ready to work. Don't make a chicken out of a feather
The GOAT efren bata reyes!👍😀
Lần đầu tiên thấy reyes đánh 3c đấy :))
Mình cũng vậy. Thích thánh này từ lâu vì nhìn rất thân thiện.
Ông này chuyên đánh a bâng trong bi lỗ nên tui đoán ông này cũng đánh 3c, ai ngờ thật luôn
This is skillful - it makes Snooker look easy & 9 Ball, to quote "Fast" Eddie Felson, 'just a game for bangers'...
how is this played?
The Guy its kinda easy... when two people play each one picks the yellow or white ball,the aim is to make your ball touch the other two in one shot. Theres a rule or a variation where you have to hit 3 bands (sides) before touching any other ball
With a 10' by 5' no pocket table (may be smaller but same proportion), one white ball; one red; one yellow, and a cue stick.

You
Efren playing a basic game if you notice he plays the same shot everytime
How this game actually work?😅
A point is determined when the cue ball hits the first ball then 3 or more cushions and lastly the red ball
Thank you😊
Go efren
Where is the pocket? 😂
rolly Micayas there's no pocket because the game is carom
Baited lmao
pocket loss
-nando
Etong klase mg billiard na d ko magets haha
Haha dpat dw tamaan ung dalawa ng balls
Kailangan tatlong banda (kaya tawag 3-cushion) at least at ma-hit mo yung dalawang ball sa cue ball (pamato) mo.
Me ganitong table kpit bahay nmin. 3yrs old pku noon. Sa pnahon na hindi obsolete na ang ganitong laro, at na dismantle na ang table. Di nmin alam original na table pala yon. Carborandom ang Mesa. Ung gagamitin pang patalas ng mga itak kutsilyo etc.

Go Efren! He is still a world beater at 65 years old. Isa kang Alamat! 👑 of ghe 🌍 in 🎱
The commentator is pretty stupid saying that pool is his main game while billiard isnt where his used to ishhhh btw.. this is not billiard this is carrom
Anointed Gold to 1000 subs by the way. It's carom.. knows as carom billiards.. ☺️
its a game of billiards... in billiards we have pool, snooker, carom. etc Carom is also billiards
Ôg Reyes phăng lỗ j cug hay het
Poor boys, they don't know about normal games like snooker.
This is more difficult than snooker. You have to hit the object ball and hit your opponents balls.
poor you
Honestly, the health affects a player's skill a lot. Young guys seem to be best players ...
Will Smithsucks for this game though surely experience goes a long way.
Its opposite from what you think in this game. Actually the older the better.
Definitely a thinking game. Yikes.
Great practice for learning angles of cushions & multi cushion position to increase 8 or 9 ball prowess...
G mutu
The other bloke's cueing action is strange
Three ball
Thats carom stroke
If you draw a line from each corner...it makes an X..these shots are easy enough to make if the ball you want to hit is on the X line
Reyes g usah main kyk gini ,,, permainan g mutu
in carrom no one beat efren
nope
?
Like sex, it's more interesting when something goes in.
wtf is this
3 cushion billiards
I’m surprised at 1:49 that Efren went the long way instead of short rail off the white on the inside. The angle was perfect for that shot. Plus, there’s no kiss and also position play. But then again, this isn’t his game of choice.
Do you think Efren Reyes would've been better served taking your advice?
@@ryanturner8423 Not sure I understand your question,, but if you’re asking do I think Efren would have won because of that one shot I recommended? Of course not. Efren is at a huuuge disadvantage no matter what he does against blomdahl . But with the shot that I said he should have taken, he could have extended his run. And if he would have missed, he would have left blomdahl safe.
This game is stupid a f
+David Marino fyi this game called 3 cushion billiard and this game lead young efren to be the best ever kick shooter in pool. he mastering the cushion.
Correct. Efren Reyes skill's at 3 cushion became important as a pool player.
David Marino not like you have the skill to play this lol
your brain cant reach this level of art
If this is a pocket match this guy can't beat efren. Like it if its true hehe :)
I went to a pool hall in San Jose, California a couple of years ago with a friend. We wanted to shoot some pool. We entered,
and it was a room with about 8 tables, 3 of which were for pool. The rest were for 3 cushion. The people in this hall looked
to be Asian, and I'm guessing Vietnamese, I didn't ask, and it's kind of fuzzy in the memory. The pool tables weren't being used,
and we were probably a rare sight, wanting to shoot pool. The pool tables were in poor condition, with one of them looking like
the roof leaked on it. The cues were caked with human grease. The place was run down, and had the look of a business set up
to launder money. I've gone to 2 pool halls in San Jose, and they are not places you'd want to return to. When I was a kid,
pool halls were kept in good repair. The other place had mostly pool tables, but the cues were caked with human grease, and
the atmosphere seedy. I took the furniture out of my front room and bought a pool table, but it's difficult to get pool players
because it's just not played in this part of the country anymore, seemingly. I could be wrong in my impressions, but I'm old enough
to remember when it was different.
Ano tawag sa laro na yan
Diko maintindihan yang larong yan hahaha lol.bat wlang butas
Kailangan po matamaan niya lahat 3 bola sa isang tira lang
2019 sea games? Anyone
ماكو احد يفهمني شلون تنلعب
الكوره الصفرا لازم تخبط تلت مرات او اكتر و بعدها تخبط ف الكوره الحمرا
Wtf is this??? Where are the pockets???😳
+David Marino Pocket games is easy. You do not know what you talking about. 3 Cushion game is the maximum skill what you can earn . For example, pocket players, can not play 1 or 2 or more cushion perfect, they are fail, just fail, They are unskilled on cushions shots and using dirty jump shots. This is below level. 3 Cushion is Royal game dude, just for real kings. If i playing 9ball with pool players, and ball position allow Cushion shot around the table, im all time try score 9 to pocket by 3 cushion shot. Efren Reyes is PRO so he know playing 3C,good for him,nice to see strange pool power shots on Carom table. Efren Reyes is not nuub like you ! BTW, watch matches in 9ball, links is bellow, 3 cushion player Blomdahl won pocket game easy against Efren
Blomdahl lost to Efren on a 10 ball match
efren reyes is mainly a pocket/pool player :P
The famous 3-4 cushion shot Reyes did against Strickland after he snookered himself, many people say "pure luck". But actually because Reyes is a very decent 3 cushion player, he has a better chance than most to execute these shots at 9 ball. Moreover this is why he became a master at kick shot: his billiards skills.
Well said. I like all kinds of pool (us 8 ball/straight pool, snooker, billiards) and think that people who are in favour of one kind and diss the others (eg billiards vs pool or snooker vs pool etc) are a bit narrow minded for sure :)
Pano manalo jn
pag na ishoot mo po ang bola
Race to 100 points. Kada hit mo sa dalawang bola, may 1 point ka.
I kinda get the mechanics of this game and the degree of difficulty but who won this match? Carombola is definitely a good way to hone skills in order to master 9 ball.
Can anyone explain the rules of this game ?????
