Not too long ago someone posted a link of Efren's amazing kick shot against Earl Strickland. I can't find it anywhere, can someone please post it again? Thanks
Efren's Famous Kick Shot

Thanks man. That clip always brings a smile to my face.... how incredible was that for the audience to witness?? It also showed Earl being a true sportsman. Any other pro player would have been disgusted that Efren made that shot against him, to get perfect shape and run out to win the match.
Smilin' here too. I own the tape of that match, and still loved to see it. Why do they call him the Magician?cuetechasaurus said:
All praise Reyes!!
Thanks, guys...watching that tape sure brightened up my morning. Great to see Earl showing real class and Houdini doing what he does best. Watching it makes me tempted to raid my Derby City warchest and buy the Color of Money Efren/Earl match from ACCU-STAT. Don't beat me up, golf-lovers, but I think I got more excitement out of that 2 minutes than I did out of untold hours watching the Masters Golf Tournament that just ended. Anybody that doesn't think pool is THE greatest game on the planet just needs to view that tape.
Recovery - I tried to give you a rep for finding that link, but the system gave me that "spread it around" con, so IOU one.
'Saurus - I've been patiently waiting to give you a bad rep but you've been too nice lately and just have not earned it. After quitting the cancer sticks, you're supposed to be grouchy...whassssssup?

That doesn't make any damn sence at all, how pretty that shot was....none.

I believe this is close to the kick he needed on the five

Imagination!!
What a shot. Can something like that be learned? or taught?
I know that various kicking systems exist. I just dont know them.
Is a shot like this something that can be figured out by a system? or is it more likely genius at work with the b*lls to shoot it at that stage of the match?
WOW

My take on this shot was Efren obviously wanted to make contact. If he gets lucky he could come rail first behind the ball and leave a real awkard bank. By observation similar looks apparent because of speed. That would be my guess but he hits it so pure and ball first and makes the shot.
I think it was a slight miss judgement on his part, although it was near perfection and ended up making the shot. No person in the world could predict perfection on that type of shot. It was so close and he got lucky. Yes I've hit a few balls with Efren years ago. He isn't God but he'll do till god comes along.

The funny thing about the shot, is that if any other player had made that against Strickland he would have flipped out saying the lucky s.o.b.
