Using a predator revo currently, but want to try some cheaper carbon fiber shafts. The three options are: JFlowers, Rhinos, Konllen. JFlowers default cf shaft is the priciest among the 3. Is it worth the price difference? Which cf cue y'all recommend from these 3?

So many temu carbon fiber shafts come cracked. Maybe 20%. I'm not sure how you could tell with a coated (blonde) shaft if it was cracked until it was to late.

You base this on what?? You buy a bunch off Temu and keep track or is this just scuttlebut bs?? The only way they 'might' get cracked is in shipping and that would covered.

I have bought around 50 of various sizes , break shafts and playing shafts. They are not damaged in shipping. They are cracker before being assembled. Minor cracks that probably wouldn't affect play but a customer would not purchase a cracked shaft of the shelf.

I've got a revo, pechauer rogue, jacoby black. All cf. All expensive. Bought an Andy Gilbert plain Jane. Hise base wooden shaft is my choice. Runde as well. Barnhart or pierce too. Differences between the cues but I'm just not liking cf. I play better with wood.

I started to use the Rhino shaft. I was looking for something cheap just to see if I like the feel of CF but didn't want to go crazy Temu cheap, so I won't get the wrong impression.

I wrote a first impression review that you can read here

I don't have any experience with other CF shafts. I played with Predator 314 shafts for many years, and when it comes to performance, I can say that they play very similar; I didn't have to adjust my aim at all.

I'm very happy with it, and I don't see myself investing $500-$600 on a shaft; the Rhino goes for under $200; I just ordered a second one for another joint I have on other cues.

I played with a 1piece cf cue at Markley Billiards. I was told it was a Rhino cue, WOW did that cue have tons of deflection. The 1piece cue is probably a cheap, no frills cue from Rhino. I have no experience with their shaft though.

I think that there are two different Rhino manufacturers if not 3 over the years

There's a cue that's Rhino branded (China probably ) that has no connection at all to the Rhino cues and CF shafts made in Vietnam.
