I am done with Rhino not neccesarly because of the decals or performance, my Rhino plays beautifully, but because of issues with customer service. Like I said on a previous post, I have dealt with Schmelke on some custom cues. If there was anything that was not to my satisfaction, David would...

I agree. But considering that the cues are made completely out of composites, except for the joint pins, inlaid points and other decorations would add a substantial premium to the price and would defeat the purpose of supplying cues to folks that can't afford a higher end cue. I am fine with the...

How interesting. Rhino just released a new line of cues called Must. How surprising.🤣 These ones are described as having a carbon fiber butt instead of carbon composite. I am having a really fun time with their customer service department trying to get a replacement Must shaft in exchange for...

Yes Sir, thought about the joint face not being trued on the lathe, but I did confirm with a good joint protector that the hole is offset maybe .010". You can see one side of the joint protector edge hanging from one side of the shaft joint face, and wobble as I turn the shaft. Tried the same...

Well, here they are side by side; Must on the right, standard Rhino on the left. Not going to measure anything since someone else posted measurements. The tapers are very similar, at least to the naked eye. The Must does have a a bit more forward balance. That being said, the Must is going...

Allright. I got an answer from Rhino. Simple enough, if it's defective, send it back. I have been a mechanic for several decades now and I always like tinkering with stuff, learning how things work, etc, so I decided to hold off on sending it back and looking at some things first. So, I took a...

Got curious enough that I ended up ordering an 11.8mm Must while they are on sale. I reckon I will be giving my unqualified impressions on the Must soon. Rhino makes a good cue for the money. I've been playing with mine, the Eclipse II Noir, quite a bit while I wait for my new Meucci Hi-Pro 1...

Keep us posted. 👍 I'd like to try one on my Predator Sneaky. I've been trying to buy a Revo 11.8 uni-loc but nobody has them, just to keep things matching brand wise. Yeah, I am particular about pieces matching their brands. But I also like an affordable piece of equipment that works well and...

Since garczar deleted his responses, I guess I can paste it from my email notifications and reply as well. "garczar said: As i said before no cf shafts are hollow. all are filled with some thing.btw, i use 'WTF' ALL the time. don't get ur panties in a wad. Don't like the way i respond please...

Sir. I do not appreciate the WTF. I am a grown man that respects everybody here, including you. So, lets be civil about how we address each other. Did you miss the part where I wrote "if not filled with some sort of light foam for sound dampening purposes"? To me it feels hollow. It might be...

To me it seems the main difference between the original Rhino and the Must, at least by the picture they are advertising with, is the core of the shaft itself. I would be willing to bet the original is completely hollow, if not filled with a very light foam for sound dampening purposes; at least...

Good evening folks. I recently ordered a Rhino Eclipse II "Noir" cue, with a 11.8 carbon shaft. I was looking forward to posting a full review, but unfortunately I will not be able to. I will however give my first impressions of the cue and the reasons why I could not review it. I needed a cue...

The Urbain are nice cases. I like the new special edition leather cases. 👍

I agree 100%. I do not think there is a better quality case in the price range, with most other cases around the same price leaving much to be desired. The case is well designed and built. No question about it. My only issue, and I do believe is personal preference from years of using a...

You are spot on Sir. I have to be very mindful of how I insert the cues in the case, to prevent banging the parts against each other or scratching things up. It's almost like a "ritual" that has to be followed to the T, to avoid contact between the cue parts. I am routine oriented, usually very...

I absolutely love leather cases. This is my Dennis Swift. I believe he charged me $275 for it, to my specifications, almost 20 years ago. The days where a US made custom leather case built like a tank could be had for that price are done and gone, especially after Dennis went out of business.

Recently purchased JB Rugged Ultimate case, black, with orange stitching, zipper pulls and interior sleeve. Bought directly from JB's website. I have an older custom Dennis Swift leather case that has served me very well for almost 20 years and I have taken very good care of, but as I upgrade...

Indeed. David and I spoke a few weeks ago about one of their custom line cues with the Ricochet carbon fiber shaft. He was not able to accomodate my request for a QR joint pin, my guess is that the CF shafts they have in stock are ready for a different kind of joint pin, but he did accomodate my...

I believe you are correct. I absolutely love my case, it is 13 years old at this point and it is top notch quality. I try to take very good care of it. 👍 I switch around the Swift case with a 2x2 Instroke Premier if I believe the Swift might get damaged when going to play somewhere.

Fantastic. Thank you kindly. 👍
