This may fit better in the product comparison forum, but I've gotten behind on things, so without further adieu...
Purchased a 30" CF shaft from Bulletproof Billiards.
Was expecting another Rhino to be honest.
I should have known better taking into consideration the quality of their tips and customer service.
This shaft was a good representative for their company. They use a higher 15k filament weave for those of you interested in such things.
It played much better than the rhino of course and the price point was the same, I believe. Once more players try these and word gets around, Bulletproof will be selling a lot of these CF shafts!!
Decent feedback for CF. Not the iron rod of revo nor dull thud of rhino.
Not quite Cynergy level, but for the price, can't be beat!!
And I've hit with some Cynergy's that weren't all that either.
If a CF shaft of this quality is available for under $200 bucks, I can't see why anyone would pay more for one. Then it's all about brand recognition and personal preference, not playability. I can play as well with this Bulletproof shaft as any other I've hit.
Excellent product for the money.

Apologies to Bulletproof, but I am a wood shaft guy. Just can't help myself. Old habits and all.😉
 
I was thinking about getting one of these for a bar room banger. I have Revo's on my other cues, so how you say they compare? I have played with Cynergys as well, but feel like they are a lot more flexable than the Revo and do not care for them at all, Thanks

If you like the revo hit, this one may surprise you!! It's not a wimpy shaft.
I was surprised at the quality of these. Especially for what they were charging. Put someone else's logo on these and jack the price to $350-$400 and they'd sell.
Hope that helps.

I had mine topped with the Bulletproof Green (hard) tip. That may play a small part in firming up the contact.. I know a lot of players want to go soft on CF.
Idk why, but they do.
Perhaps someone more knowledgeable about this will fill me in. I'd like to know.

For the price, imo, you can't go wrong.

Bulletproof's website gives little info on its $200 CF shaft such as it is 30", it has pro taper, and its made of 15K filament weave. Thanks Mensabum! See below.

Bulletproof sells a cue with a CF shaft for $250. Its described as AR-15 Carbon Fiber Break/Jump Cue and Playing Cues and is in the drop-down-menu option as "AR-15 (Basic Model Matte Finish)". See below. This may be Mensabum's CF shaft but with a different finish. If you get a different finish, its $500!

Is the $250 cue a break/jump cue? No, the break/jump cue sells $500 and is 13mm. The $250 cue is shown below and is a playing cue with an 11.8mm shaft and a weight of 18 ounces. Could this be the same shaft that Mensabum got but with a different finish? Or does Bulletproof have three kinds of CF shafts: el-cheapo for the $250 cues, Mensabum's, and a jump/break?

Wow. Ya know, I don't believe I've had the pleasure of using their website.
My shaft came about thru texts and emails.
Let me go to the Bulletproof site and see if we can shed some light on this.
I hope my original post hasn't caused confusion. Not my intention.👊🏻
