The Greatest Pool Shot in History
| Message Board > Found on the web > The Greatest Pool Shot in History |
| _Griphin_ User Info... | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edBj7uKHYZ0&NR This is the final match of the 1995 Sands Regency Classic. The score is 12-12 in a race to 13 for $10,000. Efren "The Magician" Reyes tries to put a safety on Earl "The Pearl" Strickland but it backfires. What comes next is the greatest shot in pool history - the Z kick!!! According to Wikipedia: He is referred to as "The Magician" for having made some of the most spectacular shots seen in tournament play (see nickname discussion, infra). Reyes has won many of the most prestigious nine-ball tournaments, including multiple wins at the Sands Regency Open, the 1994 U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship, the 1995 Pro Tour Championship, and the 2002 ESPN Challenge of Champions. He is also known for having won a two day winner-take-all marathon nine ball event, known as the Color of Money I and the Color of Money II, edging out in the finals another top nine ball player, Earl Strickland. In 2005, he weathered a round robin to challenge the reigning king of the Kevin Trudeau sponsored IPT, personally picked by Trudeau from 'retirement' as the best in the world. Reyes bested him very easily. He had been inducted in the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame on July 12, 2003.
