Well about four months have gone by since the big Rhino Black Friday/X-mas sales. This is a simple yes/no deal, please keep it short and sweet. Please no full page novellas. Thanks........ I voted yes, i like it and recommend it to others. Nice product at a super fair price.
 
Plays good, I also recently replaced the tip to a Percision soft.
Let you know how that works after I put a few miles on it.
 
Works/plays better than my 2 new kikel shafts.
Ordered another, never go anywhere with only 1 shaft.
I know it's not a Top end $$$$$ one, but I always prefer to buy a VW before I get the Benz.
And I did pull the trigger because of Zar. :) He'd said something a mth ago, that motivated me.
 
Pure Silicone is my cleaning choice.
On the label.
Protects: fiberglass-boats, motorhomes, snowmobiles.
Also, Metal, wood, leather.
Silicone eliminates sticking.
 
Yes.

Pros:
- Customizing options. I wanted one with a Cuetec 3/8x 14 joint and the 20mm legacy joint face. Not many offer this! This benefit is huge and enough for me to get one more shaft when it goes back on similar xmas sale.
- Tip is decent. Chose soft.
- Price is excellent, especially with the xmas free tip and shipping (thanks to garczar to bring this in limelight) and very low cost for aforesaid customization.
- great customer service. I asked them if they could make a break shaft with above spec and politely said no stating why they would not be able to.

Cons:

- Shaft is a tad lighter than most shafts I own. I mitigate this by a lighter butt and thus keeping the balance point at same as mostly I am used ot.
- more hissing sound as probably the shaft is lighter.
- more black cf dust than most premium CF ones. But Lucasi Pinnacle CF also leaves lot of dust.
 
Yes, I have bought first a 3/8 x 10 shaft to use with a McDermott. Cleaned it when I first got a got a bit of “black dust” haven’t had to do it again, other than regular cleaning. I also got a “Nebula series” whole cue, and other than having to get used to the grip it feels great to me.

Grip is pretty horrible.
I couldn't take it.

12.2 radial
Yes i like it. I have 4 other carbon shafts. Its as good as any of them
I will buy another one for sure
Shipping was 3 weeks but only $169+$15
 
Tried one for the first time last night and it's as solid as any other CF shaft out there. I specifically played with the 12.4 version and feeling wise, was somewhere in between Revo and Ignite. Deflection was marginally greater, but only on very hard shots with extreme english.

For the price, it's absolutely worth it.
