You are a madman then.Yes
I played pool with my carom shaft for a couple minutes and found it pretty awful.
Maybe I'll try it again. I played carom with the pool shaft and is wasn't as bad as my regular pool cue.
Rhino shaft buyers, let 'er rip.......

Ok, I have to share this. There is a downside to buying a Rhino carbon shaft and that would be letting your wife try it.
Last night she told me the shaft was hers, and if I wanted another one, to order another. I actually was going to order another, but didn't mention that yet to her. Wasn't going to order the same thread size though as I have some other cues with a 3/8x10 thread size I would like to try it on.
What happened was I came down with covid for the first time on the weekend so we've been staying apart as much as we can and my wife has been practicing pool more than ever. Last night she told me she has been using the Rhino shaft for a few days and really likes it, and also plans on using it in league tonight. We got a sub for me tonight,and hopefully she changes her mind when she comes home and I get the shaft back.
She did the same thing with the first Schon cue I bought by the way. Tried it, and told me to buy another if I wanted one.

I believe we are talking about removing micro scratches, whether it is wood or CF. All cue wood is finished and the product I mentioned is not going to sand thru any sealer to the wood. It is designed to polish out micro scratches whether it is a finish or a raw material. A more powerful microscope would be helpful in discerning exactly what the difference is in the two shafts. Then we would have a better idea what the difference is.
It might be worth contacting Meguiars tech folks. I have spoken to them about this very issue in the past and they were very helpful.
Ha, ha. We've been as careful around each other as we can. She had covid last year around this time and fortunatly I never got it then. She got hers visiting her sisters where one was really sick but didn't test till after everyone went home.
Now I get it shortly after visiting her family for xmas with one of her sisters showing up extremely sick. I was furious she showed up for the get together. So I tested my self early the second day of symptoms and got on meds the next day.
2 1/2 days of meds and my appitite is back, no fever and feel normal, still a little tired though. Wife just tested herself today though as she didn't want to go to league sick and we also offered to pickup another league player on the way.
Anyway wife is headed for Tampa with her sistets and mom in a few days.

Do you think it's possible that some of the Rhino shafts are sanded to get to size and some aren't?
That may explain why some think they have texture, some don't and why some say they come clean and some don't.
Their Process needs to be more consistent than that --Ya think! I vote for the 91% ALc and just use it.
Carom hereYou playing Carom or 9 ball ? I’m playing 9ball , 1 pocket , it’s awesome but yeah, I am a little different lol
I like it

What pin does the carom shaft take ? If you don’t like it I’m interested!I like it
Rhino's 5/16×14 comes standard piloted. The shaft fit my Helmstetter and Joss, but it was too wide to fit my 2002 Falcon.
Also, it was 11.8 with very little residue.

You might be right but that's a lot of sizes to have specific blanks for. 12.4, 12.5, 12.6...
I'm in the DC suburbs.I like it
Pm me if you want to discuss specifics.
Mine on this last shipment was stuffed in the tube to fill up space. Since the tip pouch is black, I mistook it for packaging material and almost tossed it. I think my first shaft, they put a joint protector.
