Recreating 5 Efren Reyes Trick Shots with Florian Kohler and Rollie Williams | Average Pool Player

If you follow professional billiards, chances are you know the name Efren Reyes. He was born in the Philippines, but came to America in 1984 to test his skills out against the best American pool players only to find himself carving through all challengers. Over the years, Efren has emerged as the greatest all-around player of all time, but he also picked up a repertoire of trickshots he uses in billiards demonstrations all over the world.

The track used in the video is 'Rest' by Otis McDonald

"The dance part is way above my skill level"

Totally man.

Efren is a national treasure. Someone who has maintained humility in spite of global success. His talent is the split second analysis of the table to make an impossible shot.

[Jex]

Watching Efren smiling and dancing warms my heart so much :D

[lemperez]

Remember, Efren is doing all of this while in competition. Glad that there is recognition for Efren’s genius!

[nasercea]

the only difference is.. Efren does this shots on his Major Competitions, like Big Money is on stake .. you need to have balls of steel to do that

[schwarzedelweiss]

Some of his famous trick shots are done in a tournament. And pool house. In a regular play and during normal weather. He's an ordinary man with extraordinary tales. He's a living legend, indeed.

Trick shots is different in actual shots in tournament.. The pressure is beyond. Efren can do trick in actual tournament which is He did not practice it. And thats the real legend.

[zedrickkhantahir]

I love it when everyone tries to explain everything Efren does.

Efren be like: "I do this all day"

[absofreakinglutelymaca]

Efren is not just professional, he's a legend.

[adikbudihartawan]

Efren is not a pro player, he's beyond a pro players, he's the god of pool.

[Noface]

you know you’re a badass when you’re surrounded by prisoners but they keep their mouths shut and watch you with respect

[arquelyap]

Efren does most of those trick shots in an actual tournament without setting it up. He really is the magician.

Filipino here. Watch Efren Reyes a lot especially from his movie here. He’s pretty famous for his trick shots in Pool shooting. I even saw him do it live TV doing these tricks and it was amazing. Haven’t seen anymore trick shots anymore but my memories of Efren Reyes will never fade from my memories

[askingwhyisfree]

Efren still celebrates like a kid. He plays the game as how it should be. :D

[Shish]

you do know the crowd in orange are prisoners? like murders, drug convicts, rapist, thieves and scammers.But as you can see they stay quiet and watch the legend play. respect 👊

[imaPotato]

The dance is too funny 😂 Surely Efren is a jolly, talented, and humble guy ❤

[coreysavage]

9:00 To add further difficulty to the 5th shot, I'm fairly certain this was a game of one pocket. Not just making this crazy bank shot but sending the cue ball where he did... impeccable control.

[kato_dsrdr]

Efren is a legend. To know how big he is, even filipinos who don't know anything about billiards know him.. He's in freakin textbooks.

One time Joe Rogan was talking about Efren and for some reason that made me happy lol. I am very proud of Efren and really regard him as the GOAT not only because of his legendary skills but also his legendary humility.
