The atmosphere at the billiards arena that day was completely silent – to the point that people could hear the audience gasp. A seemingly normal match between living legend Efren “Bata” Reyes and young up-and-coming player Jaybee became a global sensation, when “The Wizard” Reyes made a shot that people would talk about for decades to come. It was not just a victory, but an explosion of class, when all standards of technique, tactics and bravery were broken by a magical moment – a shot that made the whole arena jump and the world stunned.
🌟 One generation – two worlds
Jaybee, a young player from the new generation, is known for his confidence, modern technique and daring style of play. Throughout the season, he made a name for himself with an impressive winning streak, defeating many strong opponents and once declaring to the media:
“I’m not afraid of Reyes. I respect him, but times have changed.”
And times may change – but his legendary status has not faded. Reyes, despite being over 60, still stepped onto the table with a calm gaze as if he had come not to compete, but to… teach.
That semifinal match was a historic milestone. Jaybee started well, taking advantage of every opening to pressure Reyes. Every one of Jaybee’s shots was precise, powerful, and exuded confidence to the point of arrogance. Many people thought: “Maybe this is the time for Reyes to give up the stage to the new generation.”

😬 When the whole world thought Reyes would lose…
In the penultimate game, Jaybee was leading and only one more shot away from victory. Reyes was faced with an almost impossible shot, the balls spread out, no clear path, and the cue ball stuck to the edge of the table. The commentators even started talking about Jaybee’s resounding victory.
But then, Reyes bent down, gently turned the cue, and began calculating a shot that no one had thought of. No one – except himself.
“He wouldn’t hit that, would he? No way. No one would hit that shot, not even Reyes…” – a spectator exclaimed.
And then…
🎯 THE SHOT – THE STANDARD EXPLOSIVE SHOT
Reyes hit the shot with an angle that seemed impossible, the cue ball lightly touched the edge of the object ball, bounced off the rail with absolute precision, then rebounded to hook the ball back into the pocket in the direction… completely opposite to everyone’s prediction! Not only that, after the shot, the cue ball spun to position itself perfectly for the next shot – to the utter shock of his opponents and the audience.
The entire stadium exploded. Some held their heads, others screamed. The commentator fell off his chair, shouting:
“Unbelievable! THE STANDARDS EXPLODE! Reyes just broke the limits of the sport!”
Jaybee stood still. In his eyes, the confidence had been replaced by amazement – and a little fear. Not fear of losing, but fear because he had just witnessed something that was beyond the bounds of logic and physics. It was magic.
🔥 When the “legend” pressed the rebirth button
After that shot, Reyes turned the tables as if the match had just begun. He had complete control of the table, moving lightly, calculating every move like a chess master on a billiards table. Not a single wasted shot. Not a single mistake. And Jaybee – who had dominated the table before – was now caught in the whirlwind called Reyes, unable to fight back.
The final result: Reyes won a spectacular comeback. But for millions of people watching that match, the victory was only a small part of the story. What made everyone explode, share, and talk endlessly was the legendary shot – the moment that changed the billiards world forever.
📽️ The whole world was in an uproar
On social networks, the video of the shot quickly went viral with tens of millions of views in just a few hours. Sports news sites called it:
“The greatest moment in modern billiards history.”
The comments were filled with admiration:
– “I used to think billiards was a dry sport, until I saw this shot.”
