New Rhino shaft.......................

[garczar]

New play shaft called the 'MUST'. i contacted them(man they answer fast) and was told that it uses a higher grade of CF and also uses a different 'core' as he put it. Didn't go into detail but he said its lower deflection than their standard cf shaft so i'm guessing the front may be hollow like a Cuetec. Also comes with a Nishiki tip. Only two shaft sizes and four pins. https://rhino-billiards.com/products/rhino-710mm-28-5-16-18-carbon-carom-single-shaft-12mm-copy

I'd imagine this is at least partly in response to the Raven Pro shaft. It will definitely be interesting to see how they shoot.

According to the site it weighs 4oz which is a bit on the heavy side for CF shafts.
And still 21.5mm wide at the joint which is wider than most cues.
Also no 5/16x14 option.

I'd think they'd add more options as they sell them. Probably just wanted to get it out.

The thing that most interests me is that it says it's more forward balanced. If I have one complaint with the regular Rhino it's that it feels a bit lighter/rear balanced than the wood shaft it replaced. This isn't to say it's bad or you can't easily get used to it.

If I get one I'll report back on it but it might be a bit with Christmas coming up and all.
