After shooting with the new Rhino Must shaft and comparing it to the original I have some some points I have noticed. First, it is heavier than the original in the front and I don't mean a little. It feels a lot more heavier. Second, the taper is pro taper but it get thicker more quickly down the shaft..which is not bad..I actually like it a lot. Third the new tips they come with are way, way better. Feels good shooting and holds chalk much better..I haven't seen if it glazes over yet like most black tips but I'll keep my eyes open. Lastly the carbon fiber feels much more premium and stiffer with better construction. Overall I feel this is a good upgrade over the original.
