Efren uncorks a HUGE stroke -- bends the cue ball! (36-second clip)
- Thread starter arnaldo
- Start date
In my opinion he was trying to keep the cueball up there by putting all the high and right on it and was going for leave to shoot the 7 in the top right corner as we looked or the right side pocket, the right english just happened to be still going and took off the rail and snuck past the 7 ball...Just my thought.
Assuming one has the stroke efficiency for this shot (at the shown angle), how many tips high and how many tips right would you say would be about right for executing this shot?
Thanks!
one tip right, full top, cue as level as possible and follow through. Don't hit too hard. Speed control and practice is the key to this shot.
Doubt the commentators would have said..... "Hey look at what Efren just pulled out of his a**" LOL
I agree that he hit it with a touch of hubris!

3 cushion shot
Agree that is fairly common shot in 3 cushion. It needs a good stroke (not a monster stroke), new cloth and clean balls. If you notice he gets 3 cushions, twice on the short rail and once on the side rail.

Shot comes up often in 1p too...but to stick CB on rail while knocking ball away from opponent's hole.
Yes, he was absolutely trying to do that.
Efran Reyes is the Chuck Norris of pool.... Efren puts the cue ball where he wants how he wants.....
Are you sure it wasn't Kamui?
nice find arnaldo
Looks like Ef has played some billiards? in his days..
If not that is incredible that he would see that shot.It is the best shot (if you have the stroke for it) since the other postion plays are problematic.

no 3 cushions. i stand corrected.
Agree. You can see as he is setting up the shot that he is putting extreme right English on the CB.
Not sure why he chose to do it that way instead of coming straight back up to the middle of the table, but appears to me to have been what he intended.
That was what he was trying to do.
That was what he was trying to do. It's a relatively simple shot in 3 cushion billiards and was set up perfectly. Not much could have went wrong with this type shot, however, I"m not sure he would have used this approach if it was 10/10 in the finals.
