TOP 10 EFREN REYES FAMOUS SHOTS ... And How to Shoot Them

Dr. Dave demonstrates and explains how to execute the 10 most famous pool shots by the Greatest of All Time (GOAT): Efren Bata “The Magician” Reyes. And these aren’t trick shots. They are real shots from real matches in the games of 8-ball, 9-ball, one pocket, straight pool, and 15-ball rotation. The video also includes a small tribute to the late great Jeopardy gameshow host Alex Trebek (1940-2020), who I and others will miss dearly. RIP Alex!
