Mr Varner still runs his billiards supply business in Owensboro, Ky. Last year my buddy had Mr Varners company come to his pole-barn/ man cave to recover his pool table. After they were done, Mr Varner called to see how the job went and my buddy invited him over to check their work. He said that he would be in the neighborhood and would swing by. He came about a half hour later and talked with us for about 30 minutes. My buddy said it would be a honor for him if Mr Varner played the first game on the recovered table. He said sure and played my buddy a game(Mr Varner won). I played Mr Varner the second game(he won) I have to say that Mr Varner is truely a class act. Thank you sir, it was a pleasure

Lol ... this must be early on in his career because Johnny saying... "..for whatever reason Efren can't win Championships ".... 😂😂 Yeah, I don't think anyone says that NOW ... when looking back at the Goat's Legendary career. True, there's players who have won more overall tournaments, but IMO when a World Championship Final, or any other Big Money Final, is up for grabs... I'd take the Magician everytime!! And there can only be ONE.... Greatest of all time. Efren Reyes. 👍

I agree 100%. Consider that after this match Reyes went on to win over 30 championships beating all the champions that played in all the major events. The name of the event is not the deciding factor because he's beating the same champs in a different venue. Furthermore, he dominated the Derby City Classics all over the place, in games where some of the other greats failed miserably. He also went on to win most of the major money events against the best of the best, and he did it when it counted, just when everyone said (more than once) that the event would prove who is the greatest. I could go on. He was not the best at 9-Ball, but he was better at 8-Ball and One-Pocket and other games than the 9-ball elite. So, overall, Efren definitely is THE GOAT. So say over 90% of the world, including the majority of the champions.

Thx for downloading these historic vids, especially matches like this with such stellar players, playing in their heydays (though they went on long after this, especially in some specific game sub-categories...like Efren, still winning top level one pocket, even now at his advanced, world level competition wise, age). I would like to see someone come along and eclipse him, especially someone with his demeanor and class...but until then, he is my all time favorite, over all. Sad to see him mostly leaving.

Yeah, at this level, NOTHING is really safe. The knowledge and skill level of top pros is virtually unbelievable, at times. What often amazes me is they will be hopelessly out of shape on a very difficult shot, and they pocket AND place the rock "perfectly" for the next shot. Exactly where you would put it, ball in hand, more often than not. I do just the opposite...perfect rock...reasonably easy shot...to out in the weeds. THAT is my apparent specialty, unfortunately. :-(

Love how efren wasn't afraid to use pocket speed to the maximum. Ball would hit both sides of the pocket. Its ugly looking but efren knew it wasn't about looking pretty on every shot. That's why he flows so well. The Americans always look so robotic and everything has to be in the heart of the pocket and hit hard. Efren changed pool by showing everyone kicks, but also showing guys that sometimes to look pretty you gotta make some ugly shots too.

Nick has always looked his competitors in the eye as he's shaking their hand, whether it's after a win or after a loss. Very rare these days in all sports. Great sportsman, great player.

Every time Efren won the rack, they hold the match for some seconds trying to make Efren loose the momentum of the game. But when Nick won the rack, they let him break immediately. Funny trick they tried lol

They were holding for commercial breaks. Timing was just coincidental.

Lol .... Right, if they only knew what he was about to unleash on all billiard tables from this point on, he was about to go on some kind of GOAT streak. Not just with 9 Ball, but 8 Ball, one pocket and he even won a Straight Pool Tourament. ( * that tourny win came only on his 2ND time playing the game of Straight pool... 😲 with a nice little 142 top run to win it. )

Didn't they know that Efren 'Bata' Reyes is a world class 3 cushion billiards player too and not just a very good pool player? So kicking and banking and all angles you can think off is easy for him.
@josephlee4337 3 жыл бұрын
It's without a doubt Efren is the best ever in pool and yes, he also plays 3 cushions billiard, but Efren is far from being world-class in 3 cushions. He plays 3 cushions billiard with friends for fun. He has never played in the competition.
@actionhunter93 3 жыл бұрын
Efren plays/used to play 3 cushion billiards and has picked a lot of knowledge from that and applied it to his kicking game. But with that being said, he was never elite at 3 cushion. There is a match against Blömdahl who is arguably one of the best ever. While Efren played some good shots, Blömdahl dominated easily.

@Packo_ Hubu I know Efren's story mate, I was just commenting on the statement that he is world class at carom billiards. That is very far from the truth and I stated some facts to prove my point that's all.

This is a good match, but everybody should watch The Color of Money classical match between Efren Reyes vs Earl Strickland. It has 3 parts: Part 1, 2, and 3 because the match took 3 days to resulted in a winner. Normally, it is too much pool watching even for a pool fan. So, I recommend you watch the 3rd day and the final day of the match, Part 5. This is a match, I guarantee you will never forget!

Note to commentators: Efren's break is admittedly his weakest part of his game, yet he still is considered the best player of all time. And luck, despite how much you fellows talk about it, has nothing to do with it Efren's stature.

No chance in 9-ball.. Nick beat him 60-39 in the Philippines, and Efren swore he’d never play him again.. lol.. I don’t even think he’s top 10 in 9-ball anymore.. And yes, it’s because he breaks like a girl..

Great game between these 2 pool players. Both play a excellent pool games. Great thanks to the Pool Sponsors for allowing us to view- watch these Pool Games. Since the ESPN has failed to allow us to see Pool Games on Television. Maybe that’s why there ( Ratings) have dropped. Why ESPN has other sports on which is less interesting is beyond me & other who love sports and loves Pool better then what ESPN is showing now! In Reference of Johnny Archer. I wish he would get over himself. And quit pouting 😭about not being a better pool player then Efren Bata Reyes. As that’s why Johnny Archer never says nothing good about Efren Bata Reyes. Sure Reyes is not worried about Archer disliking him. If Archer doesn’t like loosing pool games. Play better pool. And quit blaming other pool players. As that’s the bottom line. I play pool. That’s why I can speak honestly here. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🎱

Look Roger Griffith up on the Internet and see if he wasn’t a Professional Pool Player. I am No Amateur pool player. I am not one of these bar room pool players only. 😂 here. You can think whatever you want to think. But I and others know better. Have a good day. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🎱
