At the beginning I was honestly worried you were actually trying to recreate the fluke. And I was already wondering how you could show a million attempts in just 7:53 minutes.

Your 9th attempt was what Efren was actually trying to do. Well done.

"The more I practice the luckier I get." - E. Reyes

Rollie, have you considered recreating excellent *safety* shots? In particular, the complex kick-safes Efren is famous for in which the cue ball (after kicking rail-first into an object ball) slowly drifts in a particular direction, nestling neatly behind an obstacle. These are TOUGH to recreate and require a lot of experimentation with spin and speed.

The most entertaining pool channel ever period. Reminding us that pool is fun)

Yeah, there's no way that wasn' a fluke. Great to have you back Rollie. Looking forward to more episodes.

You earned my like at the remix!

When you see Efren scratch his head, you know, he's ashamed of something. That's what he did after this shot...

Ok I'm calling a fluke by ER here. This is impossible to replicate.

Some time before this happened I watched Efren relaxing and practicing with Vivian. Efren played a similar shot as is shown here. It was much "easier" though. It shocked Vivian, a top professional player. She had never seen that shot and was unable to come close to replicating it on many attempts. I say this to offer encouragement. If a top professional has trouble performing that shot there is no shame for the rest of us. I'm making myself sound like an expert with this shot. To be clear, I am absolutely not. Anyway, that shot haunted me for a couple of weeks. Finally I found that video again and watched the the shot in slow motion. At that point I understood what was happening. Many years ago I could jump balls as well or better than many of the best of players in the Seattle/Tacoma area. When I started jumping balls there weren't any jump cues to be found yet so I used my full cue. Years go by and I start to see a few jump cues around. I thought they were just a fad and would never be part of the game. I was wrong. BTW not a fan of the jump cue to put in mildly. It takes away from the purity of this magical game and allows lesser players a better chance to beat better players. When the jump cue is used even by an intermediate player there is little doubt about the cue ball getting over the interfering ball. If that same intermediate player attempts the same shot with a full length cue the success rate drops precipitously. MUCH more skill is needed to jump balls with a full size cue. Jump cues are hurting the game because the player who plays the best loses more often now. The popularity of the game of pool is not helped when lesser players through the use of technology instead of skill, knock better players out of tournaments. The Championship Match has by far the most viewers. Those viewers do not want to see relatively poor players on that stage. If they do see them on "that stage" their interest is lost and they "turn the channel." Fewer people watching equates to less monetary profit. The reduction in profit diminishes the popularity of pool. Just my opinion. Cheers, John Noe

I love those Attempt videos, I really miss those already. Good luck in your US Open once a new date is announced.

We have been waiting way too long for this :D

So much awesome in this video. The world's longest idiom involving lemons and pizza, the remix pool shot, the math. Glad these recreated shots are back!

Rollie is truly a legend for having the patience to try to same crazy ass shot so many times. I don't think I could do it.

I appreciate your analysis and actual sample application on this study. I loooove it! Please do more and educate us. 😊

So happy to see Rollie back on my screen - this video was hilarious😂😂

Rollie I gotta give it to you man you are one funny guy. Your very underrated keep doing what your doing and somewhere along the line the right person has to recognize your skills and charisma and being a great comedian with your halarious sarcasm at the perfect times

When are we getting the other vids? Your average pool player series is one of the few things I look forward to

I love watching these videos, I think this guy is pretty funny I always enjoy watching the content he puts out.. I'd really love to see alot more like this one... There has to be almost an endless supply of amazing shots from pro's he could try right

Finally we missed you rollie

Keep em coming rollie!

Great video as always!

Woo, I love these videos!!

Rollie's back... Yeah!

Yay Rollie is back!!!

Let's get some more of these videos!!!

Welcome back Rollie!!

Love the math check. Hilarious and all-round great time.

Finally back

Your Back!

Yey rollie's back

I missed this series

It would be cool if you recreated some great safety shots. How about filler’s safety against SVB from Mosconi 2019?

Hope you're doing well Rolly! I'm wishing you a great success at whatever you choose to do, however you define success!!

Wow Nice!!

I've been playing pool for 54 years (started when I was 6)I have played 10 hours a day for 23 years. Some of the shots I made where as you say "flukes" but totally what I was trying to do. There comes a point where you don't think about the shot that much wack it and hope you hit it right. I love pool and wish I could have pursued it as a profession, back in the day I would have beaten the best players in the world.. unfortunately age has taken its toll on my game over the years. All I can say is if you're good at the game play it.. I'm in Mississippi if anyone wants to challenge me..

Wow! after 9 try u make a most beautiful bank shot👌

Hey Rollie ,can you please recreate on of Alex hurricane Higgins over the rail black ball shots

Shot 16 is incredible, never saw that before. Have to show this to Florian Kohler.

Rollie Williams should do an exhibition match with Sharivari.. please make it happen.. P.S. i enjoy watching your videos as well as Sharivari’s

I wish we're friends, I don't think I would ever stop laughing while playing pool with you

What happened to your go custom shaft? You didn't like It?

Isn't it just fitting how I got a manscapped ad which featured International Snooker.... right before a pool trickshot recreation video. xD

"No way I can replicate the double jump, double carom, kick carom kick carom" 😂😂 Btw, 3:20 that's a nice different version of your title music especially during the notable progress to the shot.

i totally agree with u, this is only one of the many reasons why efren reyes was called The Magician because of his numerous "accidental lucky shots".. nice shot to you sir!

"Society was closed" - I love unintended puns

Pls do some efren reyes "safety shots" 👍🏾🙂 I think efrens shot was just sheer luck by the magician on that one. 👍🏾🙂

You have way more patience than I do.

A.M.E.N he's back

Love the Original Trilogy Reference

That’s hilarious! Very nice. :)

Wait they’re open ?

dude just look at efren's reaction, he's like "haha! didn't mean it that way but it worked" while scratching his head in amazement.

dang, I was expecting the mode in 1920's

Where are the other videos?

Efren, i love the voodoo that you do.

1:38 efren did the KEKW. so good deserves a Pog

Fun video :)

"and here's the remix" -Rollie from Kamui

I mean, you got it on #9. I have a hard time believing Reyes would have passed up the 9 there. As you said, he knew a lot of good things could happen on the shot, and I'm sure that was exactly what he was hoping would happen. But I'm glad you kept going, it would have been an awfully short video. Btw, COVID isolation has been very friendly to your game, it's obvious how much more command you have now.

It's basically a high probability of potting any ball kinda situation as long as you look for it. With the 9 so near to the corner pocket it was easy to get a multiple rail bank shot. But those caroms though, that was crazy.

Because I watch snooker videos, I got recommended this. After watching some pro pool, I know where my disdain for pool comes from. Good luck to you bro but I’ll stay on the snooker.

trivia: "the magician" started to play pool when he was 8 and eventually become the best player at the age of 12.at that age they play town to town "dayo" and also money involved which his sponsor do.in his mind i can play pool all day long and i can earn money from it.i have nothin to lost here he said, sometimes he sleep at the school.his sponsor pick him up when class is over at 3-4pm, and return/drop off at 6am.thats why he end up sleeping at the school.correct me if em wrong, sorry for bad english😹✌️

Me: watches the shot Also me: checks ti see how long video will be

efren the legend magician

I miss these videos. I use them to learn my maths.

I love Reyes but, seriously, this was sheer LUCK!

Congrats on making the shot. Efren plays that shot with a high cue ball and just shy of break speed stroke. Ask Vivian.

Keep making videos you are doing a great job. Some of the Efren shots are so hard to recreate. He is a god at pool

I missed you so much , rollie "snack eater giraffe" williams

Do a Niels Feijen shot plz.

Does this guy have his own channel?

Man you're my fav..

What's crazy (or at least one crazy thing that isn't mentioned) is how low Efren's cue is for a jump shot. Big difference from what Rollie is doing to get a decent jump. Note that's not a criticism, I can barely get a jump with a jump cue jacked up to 45 degrees.

Oh man, you can no longer call yourself "the average pool player". You've dramatically improved with every shot..

was gonna say that was not intended, I think he was jumping the cueball, so he could jump the Yellow ball over the Brown ball and then plant the 9 ball(with the Yellow) in the pocket he was shooting towards. He meant to pot the 9 ball, just not in that pocket

4:29 Cut the surprised reaction, add it to the highlights reel.

try it in tournament

You won't remake it. I think 😂

Can you make a Z shot of Efren Bata Reyes.☺️

Growing up watching ER play is the best. People saying venom can beat ER in pool

Efren is very pro and #1 pro player and the GOAT of billiard

When Efren makes a shot and then scratch his head, it is an indicator that it's a fluke, or what he call "I got Lucky".

4:27 that's exactly what he was trying IMO

That triple jump was nice but ive seen a pushout where 3 balls jump off the table

Pls do the one that Efren having coffee, plus put bag on your shoulder and sandwich wrapper in your hand.

Even if it was a fluke, still good to watch.

Make a vid when efren is watching from the audience drinking coffee w/shoulder bag on and suddenly David alcaide hand him over his cue stick to make the shot!

on my honest opinion, your attempt 9 was the goal of the Magician all along. it just turned out the other way and got lucky. it would be my goal of thinking if it was me. that would be my planned shot if I'm the one hitting.

I miss efren reyes.. hes awesome still

Question is, did you look at Efren eyes after the shot.

What about the shots of the century? The Z shot (w/ pressure)

4:25 😂

Efren's mind is just different

Attempt #9 is what he was going for

You notice that is a difficult shot when the name of it have more than 4 words

en el minuto 0:35 Fidel Castro aplaudiendo a Efren... nunca que imagine que fuese fanático del billar jajajajaja

Sometimes you gotta do two shots into one

That head scratch from efren was an indication it was lucky. Based on the video, attempt 10 was what efren had intended

For the love of god what is the song playing in the beginning of the video
