The video took off ubiquitously all-over social media and the netizens were awestruck! The podcaster, comedian, sports and color commentator showed just what being proficient means to the internet world. 

In the video, Rogan was instructing the cameraman how to hit the balls in difficult angles. He then proceeded to demonstrate hitting the balls in exactly the way he advised. Naturally, they went straight into the pockets, just as he described. “There’s a lot of thinking and intuition,” explained Rogan.

Joe Rogan’s video creates a reaction among fans

One twitter fan shared a video of Rogan playing pool and said, “Joe Rogan is seriously good at pool.

Replying to the video, a follower said, “I love him actually yes.”

Another retweet of the video proclaimed, “Don’t f**k with anybody playing pool with a glove.” 

Yet another marveled, “I knew he was good but yeah, he is pretty good.”

Others criticized the technique used and even went on to suggest some. One retweet read, “Absolute BS, at least 3 ways to play that shot, all with varying side (spin) or using the natural angle. Good pool players have cue power.”

Yet others called the sport “boring” and the shots “easy”. While many are convinced that “Joe is talented as hell”.
