I've suspected that one company makes the tubes and sells them to all the manufacturers.

wrong.

I was about to buy one of those rhino shafts until that old saying popped in my head, you get what pay for. And I saw Daniel Le's review.

He's full of shit. I know a bunch who have bought Rhino shafts and love them. They do not scratch easy. This guy has his head so far up Hsu's ass that the poor guy probably has 'Le burps'. Some guy in Texas knocking a product doesn't carry much weight in my world.

Are those different tapers? The one on the left looks like a pro taper? And the one on the right more conical?

Really?? The Cynergy markup sounds about as expected. I have a hard time believing people are choosing to sell Predator with only a 10% margin, that's insanely low. Having spent time working in specialty retail I've never encountered margins that low on something. Maybe that's for very low volume accounts or something, I can't imagine Seyberts is paying $449 for them.

The hall owner where I play won't stock predator bcuz of the markup. Can't make any money on that equipment, he tells me, so he doesn't carry them. Only so much room in the cue cases. Why stick them w non money makers?? Just so you can say you have predator?? Bah.

There is no answer to this question. There is no best. You have to play with it and decide what suites your game. I play with a revo and have since they came out. I know I’ve hit with the cuetec and just didn’t like the feel but I have plenty of friends who love them. They aren’t wrong and neither am I . It’s just personal preference you can’t find from reading on the internet.

Well said!! Too many guys have their faves, so they must be the best. Take them as opinions and you won't be misled. You know, opinions and a##holes.
Everybody's got one.

What is the best shaft threads are pretty much like what is the best oil threads on Motorcycle forums.

Bro, that's kielwood, nothing on earth to do with CF. Really that's ridiculous to come to the conclusion that a different brand and different material has anything to do with some unhinged facebook rambling. They are an excellent shaft, knowing how much I like it (my first CF) I would gladly pay $300 for one. They are a good deal without the markup of advertising budget and the expense of price gouging customers.

love my Rhino

The Rhino I got over the holidays for a 5/16-14 fits and hits as well as any other CF I've owned. This makes my fifth, but all were diff brands, so I got a feel for what's out there. Let value for dollar be your guide.

ive never been able to settle on one shaft or cue
never found one shaft that made get rid of everything else
i feel like i learn a little something from each shaft i use if i use it for a long enough time
im all over the place in terms of the tip size also, ill go from 11.5 to 13mm and in between
cf , wood

If your getting up there in years, I'd recommend going with and staying with a larger mm tip. Better visuals and you've been playing long enuf and your games strong enuf that a few mms in tip size aren't going to make a diff in how much juice you get or in terms of better accuracy. I've been down this road and it's more like a rabbit hole than a highway. Lol
