This is a follow-up to my previous thread: TOP 10 EFREN REYES FAMOUS SHOTS ... And How to Shoot Them.
My previous video featured the Top 10 Most Famous Shots from Efren Bata “The Magician” Reyes. One of the shots (Shot 9) generated some interesting discussion here and on social media. Efren used a drag shot with inside spin to pocket the 7 and bump into the 8. In this video, I demonstrates 33 different shot options and try to explain what Efren was thinking and whether or not he made the right choice. Of course, he did. Check it out:
Here's the list of the shots [with YouTube timestamp links]:
Table of Contents:

1. go up and down the table for the 8 in the side [0:47]
2. go up and down the table for the 8 in the lower corner [1:42]

- Wrap Up [13:27]
---- answer to the question: Why Did Efren Do That? [13:49]
---- shot montage [14:33]
As always, I look forward to your feedback, comments, questions, complaints, and requests.
