Its not a pool invention but an independent company that tests shafts for deflection, sound, energy-transfer efficiency, and descriptions of how it is made or what is inside.

Photos show the conversion of an ugly never-before-seen square-hat cue tip to a round cue tip.

It didn't work for me:

The three black stars point to three smudges on the ball caused by the yellow tip. The ball is a CutShot billiard ball. Disregard the paper-hole protector sticker.

Amazon sells square cue tips for about $5 each. I used sandpaper and metal files to form the tip. It shaped fine with a Last4Ever tool. It appears to be some kind of layered ceramic material. A knife could scrape rather than cut the surface. The square tip barely scratched a phenolic resin...

This is the Pure X Kielwood FUZE joint from the YouTube video at 14:09. It's likely not carbon-fiber rod shown given that it practically extends to the surface and it encases the joint:

For what its worth, a YouTube review of the Pure X Kielwood FUZE shaft states the carbon-fiber rod goes from ferrule to joint. YouTuber CueMan Teddy B says you can even see the carbon fiber at the joint end. CueMan Teddy B discusses the carbon-fiber placement at 13 minutes into the video...

Mezz EXPro has carbon fiber only at joint end: McDermott's G-Core, and probably its i-2 and other i-series shafts, have 7 inch carbon fiber rod at tip end. See McDermott website's G-Core description JFlowers SMO-W wood shaft has a full-length carbon fiber in the shaft (EDIT: See figure where...

"Implex" means intricate, involved, entangled, complicated, or complex. It can be used as an adjective to describe something with many interconnected parts or layers, making it difficult to understand or resolve. __ I think McDermott did the same implexed approach in its G-Core and i-series...

McDermott's wood/CF combos are different from those you compared it to. McDermott's G-Core, i-1, i-2, i-3, i-Pro, i-Pro Slim all have wood exterior and carbon-fiber rod inside like the other wood/CF shafts that probably all other companies have. McDermott has, however, also inside the...

Interesting that you went from more-expensive to less-expensive shafts. The Katana 11.5mm goes for $270 at PoolDawg. Here is PoolDawg's description: The 10-piece split radial construction of their playing shafts utilizes an alternating grain system to remove variance and deliver some of the...

I had an 11.8 Revo. I didn't measure its taper while I owned it. My recollection is that it sure as hell didn't have the pro taper like the Rhino I later bought. I agree with you. I think the Revo has conical taper.

Its nearly conical taper --- its hybrid-conical:

All Rhino pool shafts are 30". You'd have to buy a Rhino carom 28" shaft to get less than 30".

Whyte Triple 60 advertising speaks to you. In its video, The Science of Feel | Triple 60 Multi-Density Fill, Triple-60 spokesperson states their shaft can provide a buttery hit: What we did was we introduced a multi-density fill into the shaft in the construction of these carbon fiber shafts...
