Reyes Vs Takahashi

Excellent play by Reyes - starts off running the first 5 racks -Awesome commentary by Billy Incardona and Grady Mathews - it doesn't get any better than this!

I think the most amazing stat of all is the fact that Takahashi missed only 1 shot, and for the rest of the match he was pretty much just a spectator with a great seat.

The Interview Part:

Grady : Efren you hit a perfect 1000 TPA there except for that scratch on the pocket on the side.

Efren: I got lucky.

Grady : Ya right, you got lucky.

I just could imagine Grady's face. LOL

On the side note commentary is very good indeed. When this 2 on the booth you expect a little bantering and of course very intelligent insights on shots. They are a perfect match (not until recently though?). I hope this two could do a commentary in the WPC aside from Jay Helfert.

That $13 cue worked wonders, didn't it?

When was this?
I saw Efren miss one ball against The Miz at the world 8-ball eons ago.
Parica shot a 1000 against Tony Robles at the Legends of 9-Ball.
I believe Wade Crane shot a 1000 too.

When was this?

2004 DCC 9-ball, Efren shot 1.000 and beat Jimmy Wetch 7-0. Accu-Stats has the DVD.

K thnx. That was a short race.
Against Reed Pierce at the Bike in '95, Efren pocketed every ball he intended to pocket. But he scratched once or twice.

 

[asbani]

alot of other players shot the perfect 1.000

2003 derby city - nine ball finals. shannon daulton shots a 1.000 in his match against max eberle. (finals)

2001 Masters 9-ball championships finals. Earl strickland shots a 1.000 in his match against efren reyes (finals)

 

[axejunkie]

Great stuff, I love those videos of Efren from mid-90s, it seemed like there was no ball he couldn't get position on.

Neither Strickland nor Daulton shot a 1.000.

How about Archer's 13 racks in a row against Bustamante? Francisco missed one shot - the lag.

Does anyone have this match on tape, or know where I can get it? I'd love to see it.

I don't think it's out there, since it wasn't a tournament match, but I'd love to see it too. The story behind it is great too.

I believe it was 15 racks.
He ran 13 and out. Then ran two more on the next set but Busti won that set.
