Can’t blame em after reading this thread. The 24 price might get interesting!

From USA or VN?

USA, I threw the box away already but I think it was from Texas. Don’t hold me to the state though…

Reg. price is only 199. Helluva deal at that price.

I think that is correct...tx.

Thanks for that info. I thought you got to pick either a soft or medium tip installed on the shaft, but as you explained you get a free gift of an extra tip of your choice: soft or medium. As for the website saying that a medium tip comes installed, I'm not seeing that:

I've been looking at the Nebula full carbon cue, and it says the same thing for the tip, and it doesn't provide a choice for a tip.

It wouldn't surprise me to find the website has been changed to align with actual offering.

This ain't some dude working out of his shop for a couple hours a week after his day job

I cannot believe how effing excited I am for this. Prolly because I don’t think it will fit.

looks like they changed the wording about tips compared to what I remember seeing in the past.

 

[garczar]

AFAIK the 'free gift' is the tip of your choice, soft or med. I don't think you get another tip, maybe so idk. I went for the med. and it plays super.

San Antonio, actually.

Woohoo.
The double shafting is not usually something to be celebrated, but I'll join in on this one.

San Antonio, actually.

Happen to know where in San Antonio? That's local to me. Wonder if there is a brick and mortar location to see what they have to offer?

That is probably a conversation you should have with the rhino people...

I've got my same issue with rhino that has prevented me getting a revo so far. The cue I want to use it on is 5/16-14 flat faced, and these have a pilot.

I asked about 29" and flat faced, they said they couldn't do anything about the pilot, but could do the custom length for $25 more.

Anybody ever just chuck the shaft in a lathe and machine off the pilot so the shaft is flush? Is that possible?

Pretty simple job if you have cuemaker/repairman nearby.

This can be done on wood shafts. Not sure why a qualified repairman could not face it off with CF. Simple procedure.

Go to the worst Pho takeout in town. They're storing the shafts in the walk in fridge.

Freddie <~~~ that’s what I’s do

Good news that they're using proper storage techniques, otherwise the shafts would spoil.
