Same here! I recorded it to watch later because I had to do something. Then, when I watched it I Was like wtf! How are you going to show a final match and not play it through to the end. Had to look up the highlights on YT. Not the same experience.

Can’t help you there, I’m looking the trade my new Defy 3 shaft for the SMO. The Defy is just too different from my Revo to get use to it. I’d like to hear more about the SMO shaft but I’ll probably just blindly get one.

Is there any remote evidence that it's working or do you all just love Rogan? If a celebrity is needed to help pool, cant they aim higher?

You'd need both someone that actually has a big name, and who gives a crap about pool. So as far as "aiming higher", i can realistically name no one. Besides Manny Pacquiao, which doesn't really help us here. You're not just gonna get Morgan Freeman to organically develop a love for one pocket and start hanging out with Incardona.
Regardless of if you like or dislike Joe, that he is absolutely massive is not up for debate. His Spotify contract alone was 1/4 of a billion dollars.
As far as proof, read into it how you want but Fedor's first appearance on Joe had 72k views. His one last year had 426k. And that's only on YouTube. Who knows how many more on Spotify and other platforms.

Anyone that thinks getting Joe Rogan to comment on and bring visibility to pool is a bad thing is off their rocker.

"nnoooo we don't want thaaat gigantic massive celebrity with one of the the largest and most successful online platforms in history! we want a different ooooone"

I don't care if he starts touting cutting his Ivermectin/DMT microdose with a bit of Taom chalk raised his game 2 balls. The more Joe is involved with pool, the better.

Omitting the straight pool era from consideration, this one is on the short list of the greatest matches ever contested. The two best WNT matches, in my view, were the 2024 WPC final between Gorst and Kaci and this one.

I think this was the best of the two, with a slightly higher level of play, so I'm calling it the best WNT match ever played.

Was this match better than Wu Jiaqing vs Po Cheng Kuo (WPC final), Sigel vs Varner (US Open 9ball final), SVB vs Dennis Orcullo (US Open 9ball final), Earl Strickland vs Efren Reyes (Sands Regency final) or some other legendary matches? Tough to say, but the 2026 US Open final should always remain in the conversation for best match ever played.

I know I'll never forget it!

Most english snooker and pool cues are made by splicing in blocks of wood to the butt section, gluing and clamping and then planing off the excess to make it round. In theory it should be possible to repair a shaft with a huge splinter cut out of it the same way. Would it feel the same? I doubt it, but it would be a fun experiment. The problem is exactly what happened to this guy. It will be pulled off straight. Will it stay straight after using his method? I doubt it.
