Rhino's new cue line.

They're not really wood, they're just "inspired by wood". Still, it's an excellent value for money. I really like what Rhino is doing. I now have 5 of their shafts. Eventually, I'm going to write a post describing my experiences, good and bad, but overall the company has impressed me. I've had a few problems, but overall I think they are filling an important gap in the market.
Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't see that in the description of those cues. Was wondering how the could do it that cheaply.
So those are decals??
Either way, I wish them luck. I have nothing to say but good things about the shafts I've bought from them. And customer service was spot on!!
I wonder how long b4 we see a drop in CF shaft prices industry wide??
Could Rhino have that much of an effect I wonder??

There really isn't much to these shafts. You have the tube with some foam in the middle and some tweaking to get things right.
I see these tubes being sold for online for $60 and if you look at the specs they all are pretty much the same size. I suspect that there is one or two manufactures out there making these tubes and selling them to all the companies.
We probably are getting ripped off with these $400-500 shafts. When people stop buying $500 Revos and buying $200 Rhinos you will see the price drop. Or they come up with some new technology and a V2 comes out. Predator has had the Revo for many years it's probably due for a V2. People with CF shafts are not going to buy anything anymore if they can't get something better.
The fancy rings on my rhino are remarkable.
you really that lazy?? https://rhino-billiards.com/collections/nebula took a whole 2seconds to find the site.
I like this one at $319
I like the pleasure studded grip.
Would you eat a hamburger made from "inspired meat" ?? on an "inspired bun" ?? with "inspired condiments" ??
Yeah, I though so.....
You're right, but that's not the best example. There's a billion dollar industry built around just that...
Truthfully, that says more about the gullibility of people than it does quality of product does it not?
It isn't always good!
I am not discounting that someone would be willing to eat "inspired meat".
I do not happen to be one of them.

I didn't see the inspired part. Only 'rare wood pattern designs.'
Then further into the specs, you see 'printed' in the description. I wonder how that's done. Decals or directly to wood??
Either or, for the coin, if you wanna try cf and dont wanna spend a fortune for the same animal in diff fur, check em out.
don't mind cuetecs truewood (real wood but veneer) but decals? this old lumberjack disapproves..
Can't say I blame you. Seems like all these imported cues have decals or airbrushed deets. I'm not sure if Rhino uses decals or screens those designs directly onto the butt. J Flowers is a good example a decal butt cue.
Seems like many of the production line cues are using 'Composite' wood for butts. Perhaps a cuemaker could chime in with what woods those might be, as I'm curious.
J flowers does have real inlay cues as well, but the price jumps a fair bit.
