Rhino MUST

X
After shooting with the new Rhino Must shaft and comparing it to the original I have some some points I have noticed. First, it is heavier than the original in the front and I don't mean a little. It feels a lot more heavier. Second, the taper is pro taper but it get thicker more quickly down the shaft..which is not bad..I actually like it a lot. Third the new tips they come with are way, way better. Feels good shooting and holds chalk much better..I haven't seen if it glazes over yet like most black tips but I'll keep my eyes open. Lastly the carbon fiber feels much more premium and stiffer with better construction. Overall I feel this is a good upgrade over the original.

No, it wasn't a cakewalk. Januarta was on the brink of defeat and escaped.

Mast had her chance, up 3-2 in the final set, and at the table. She made a poor shot on a tied-up 3 ball to cede the table. Januarta then ran out that game and the next. I have no idea what Mast was trying to do.

Januarta is a better player, of course, but he took her for granted and she punished him when he did. He wised up a bit after he lost the first set.

Mast got a bit rushed in the second set before calming down.

I was disappointed at Januarta’s lack of maturity after a very mature performance at the PLP. He played as if he couldn’t lose and took shots he would never take in a big WNT event.

Ever hear of a CPS cue ?

Don't agree on a lot here. I had a Buddy Hall Lucasi that was made extremely well. A friend owns it now and its still dead straight with perfect points and inlays. Lucasi's QC was/is better than most custom makers. They've always been made by the TaiCan, now Hamson Int'l, factory. The switch from Japan to China for ADAM was not done all at once. It was gradual shift so some cues could very well have still been made in Japan. Only hi-end hand-made Musashi cues are Japan built now. I've done a lot of searching/homework over the last few yrs. and am pretty confident of what i know about ADAM history. There are others on here that know more. Also, AFAIK all Helmstetters were built in Japan. From talking to others and doing my own digging that's what seems to be.

sorry for the resurrection. I've been researching the Helmstetter cues specifically, and I tend to agree that Adam, shifted production slowly over 5-10 years. Likely depending on the China shop upping their game. And I suspect Helmstetters stayed in Japan, though the roman numerals may indicate otherwise - more to come.
