Watch Efren vs Corey from the CSI US Open 1 Pocket Free Thanks to CaliRed

Whoa, big thank you for this. Great match, great production, great commentary.

You guys are in for a real treat on this match. You add up all these factors and you got a MATCH!!!

1. Efren Reyes (or Efrum) Arguably one of the greatest onepocket players over the last 20 years. "The Magician" You won't see standard textbook onepocket from this man. He combines a championship level of ball running, 3 cushion skills, imagination, unreal cueball control, caroms, banks, combos, and anything else known and not known to man. Oh, and he's a old washed up has-been at 56 years old so the only way he has a chance to win is if he gets "lucky"

2. Corey Deuel - A true student of the game and a inventor of new ways to do things. When you watch him, you're going to see shots that no one else would ever shoot, with good success. He is going to put on a kicking clinic. A very strong onepocket player and does not play by the book. So if you like imagination, fire that browser up and kick back!

3. CSI (Cuesports International) and Mark Griffin put on a spectacular event. Mark brought in a satellite at great cost, so TAR would have a dedicated Internet feed to stream this. TAR put on full production with multiple camera angles, mobile cameras and TAR was using their brand new HD cameras for the first time. You will see numerous different camera angles shown thru out the entire match. (Think ESPN) Thanks to RunoutMedia for their work in this production.

4. You have the best commentator in the business on the mic, Mr. Billy Incardona along with his good friend Larry Schwartz. Billy brings his decades of experience and his unique style of teaching while commentating, to make listening to the match as fun as watching the match. Players at every level will learn something listening to Billy and have fun doing it.

5. This is a race to 4 and it goes hill/hill and comes down to the last 4 ball on the table. Hows that for excitement?

All of us onepocket fans give a huge shout out to TAR for making this available to us for free.

I am very glad I am such a onepocket fan and that fate had it, that even though TAR had a hardware glitch, that this, and other matches, are now going to live on for decades to come, due to my decision to record these.

Enjoy the match! It doesn't get any better then this!

Thanks!! :happydance:

Corey vs. Efren.

Coulda stopped there...that is all that needs to be said to know you are in for a real treat.

What an incredible time we are living in...where we can see something like this, from the comfort of our own environments.

I also saw a killer whale kill a great white the other day. Corey vs. Efren will be better.

Thanks, CaliRed and JCIN.

Thanks to both of you!!!

Major kudos

Great work and the kind of group effort that is pretty dam cool.

Many thanks guys.

Now, I'll go watch it -thanks to modern technology and old school helpfulness. Very neighborly. A welcome sight these days.

Take care

ps-JCIN-Good luck with your project. Hopefully it's pool related-

you guy's are right.. it is very cool to be able to watch something that could have easily been something you saw on TV by a major network, but the cool factor jumps by 100% when you find out it is a Onepocket match between "the man" and Corey Deuel, that's 3.5 hours long and there's no commercial interruptions.

I've been thru it countless times already but have only saw bits and pieces. I think I'll hook it up to the TV and watch it on the big screen!

on a side note to this match.... I was curious how many onepocket fans we have over here, that would watch the entire 3 1/2 match?

Or if you're not that hard core, what do you watch? The end of it? The 1st part of the 4 parts? 10 mins of it, a hour?

Do you bookmark to watch it later?

Are there people that really don't know what onepocket is and go check it out, out of curiosity? If there are any of those, did any of you want to learn more about it.. did it pique your interest?

Just curious of the viewing habits of AZB'ers, when it comes a premier onepocket match. All replies are kept confidential.

I watched the entire thing, and I don't play much one-pocket. I did have to turn the volume off after the first game, though...the commentary was, well, not my cup of tea, I guess.

Efren vs Corey

Thanks JCIN and Cali Red , always great to watch high level 1 Pocket.
Not the best either of them ever played but still a few moves worth putting in the memory bank.

CaliRed-

Thanks to you and JCIN. I watched it all yesterday. As a new to the game 1P player, I thought the match was great.

Maybe others can answer-was Efren a lot better in years past? If so-Wow!

It looked to me that Corey Duel is pretty creative. The kicks to start caroms out of the stack were impressive. Not dead carom/combinations-but off angle stuff requiring very accurate kicking and speed.

Both these guys see things that I will never see. And execute when it is most critical. Both amazing skill and knowledge.

Thanks again.

This is another one I have put on 'subscribe'.
I'll watch it in one sitting when I have time.
I have remarked before that Corey reminds me of Efren...
..and any time that Jay Helfert agrees with me, I'm happy.

Thanx to you and Justin for posting this.

I was able to watch parts 2-4 (not sure where part 1 is on YouTube). Really, that last game could have gone either way. Corey was really kicking well for the most part. Efren wasn't playing a few simple shots that well. All in all a good match from what I saw.

That second game was amazing. I thought Corey was certainly going to lose. He got himself out of a dire situations.

Thank you both very much! It sure is appreciated!
