Did you notice that at least 15 to 20 of these shots were from the great Efren Reyes? No player ever possessed the judgment of angles and how to play them. He's seeing shots that no other player sees or even attempts. Even with these glorious players Bata Reyes is a cut above. Every endeavor has a performer that is the benchmark. Efren Reyes is the GOAT of pocket billiards.

Dusty Seiler has a great comment. Efren Reyes is my idol too. As a player and a human being. Intimidating in his peerless play. Never with poor behavior. Even his biggest rivals can't find a reason to dislike him. The video that refers to the "Greatest shot in Pool History, is spot on. Beyond any doubt the greatest shot I've ever seen. So great even the fine sportsman Earl Strickland stood up and applauded. Bata Reyes. Greatest pool player ever. Even greater human being.

I would love to see a match between Willie and Efram in a game of straight pool to 150. Imo, that would be a great test to see who is really the best. With players at that elite level, one bad break usually decides the outcome in 8 or 9 ball games. Not so in a multi-rack games. Position and strategy are even more important and cue ball control is crucial.
