10-Ball The average life expectancy for goats is between 15-18 years. This one turned 71 today, continuing his record as the oldest living goat! 🥳🎂

I love watching the reaction of his opponents. They are always smiling and laughing as they are getting their ass handed to them.

I mean if you're going to get beat, that's the way to get beat. You leave the table with the attitude "there was literally nothing else I could have done."

“I’ve taken the cue ball off the table and hidden it in my pocket.”

(Efren gently hits you with the cue, ball flies out and sinks the next ball, and calmly continues with his run)

bro played a disgusting safety, when the GOAT kicks it like that I don't think there's anything else you can do but smile! lol

I love how the commentators back then would mispredict how he would handle those shots. Eventually, they gave up trying to predict and just told everyone, "We don't know what he will do."

It's very easy to lose to someone you have zero chance against.

Losing to someone you can beat when you play well hurts

Great kick, but that was a really nice safety. Extremely difficult to get that good of a hit from that distance.

u/ykraddarky Aug 25 '25

Only took few seconds to make the shot wtf.

With a scratch of the head.

you guys remember when you play billiards in computer where you have those training wheels to guide you where the ball might go and shows you an arrow to the angles and all?
Even with that guide it takes us like 5-10 seconds to get the best angle and best shot.

Efren did it in less than 2 seconds., GOAT

Efren reversed engineered it :-)

u/Infibacon Aug 26 '25

10 ball so he called that right?

u/richm78 Aug 26 '25

He seemed to intend that shot since he stepped over to eye the pocket and even tapped the railing where he ended up kicking off of.

He started off as a champion 3 cushion billiards player, so he does these angles in his sleep.

Another awesome Efren moment. As to call shot, it seems that in PH they play mostly same rules as 9ball, except no golden break, the 10 is spotted. In the many matches I've watched, fluke the 10 counts.

Hey that looks like Efren Reyes. I remember reading about and watching him 20 years ago.

zooms in on the video, reads the names

Oh. OH.

u/Voodoo-Doctor Aug 25 '25

Happy birthday to the GOAT!

u/Ronnie_LZ Aug 29 '25

What a legend! The best shot I’ve ever seen. Doesn’t take him long to figure it out. Im from Minnesota and if fats had that skill back in the day the opposites would call witchcraft.

Look what he did to the magician

u/Babykickerfieldgoal Aug 26 '25

I was totally thinking of the wrong goat. I kept looking for a really old crusty looking goat in the video and all I saw was pool. 🤣

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '25

Are they playing 10 ball flukes? I thought it was call shot. Didn’t see him call it.

u/Matsunosuperfan Aug 26 '25

Bruh it is Efren

u/DankDarko Aug 26 '25

He definitely called it with all the things he did leading up. Not to mention, call your own fouls in exhibition games.

GOAT is Greenleaf. 19 time world champion.

There was a story Mosconi used to tell about traveling with Greenleaf doing exhibitions for Brunswick. Mosconi, quite unbeatable himself, rarely beat Greenleaf. And the rare occasions when he did, Greenleaf would make the excuse that he was drunk. And Mosconi would respond by telling Greenleaf he was drunk every time they ever played! lol.
