Description

Elevate Your Game with the Rhino Carbon Fiber Performance Shaft Stop letting humidity and wood inconsistency dictate your game. The Rhino Carbon Fiber Shaft is the ultimate upgrade for players seeking professional-grade precision, durability, and a smooth-as-silk feel. Engineering Meets Performance: Crafted using advanced carbon architecture, this 30-inch shaft features a Pro Taper that feels natural in your bridge while providing the stiff, stable response needed for modern pool. Weighing in at roughly 4.0 oz, it offers the perfect balance - light enough for speed, yet solid enough for powerful energy transfer. The Low-Deflection Advantage: Our low-deflection technology is designed to help you miss less. By reducing the mass at the end of the shaft, we’ve minimized cue ball deflection, allowing you to aim more naturally without extreme compensation. Whether you're playing a soft safety or a powerful draw shot, the Rhino shaft keeps the ball on its intended path. Built to Last, Designed to Fit Tip: Pre-installed 12.5mm Time Crystal Tip (customizable options available). Joint Compatibility: Precision stainless joint with a ~21.5mm collar for a seamless look and feel. Weatherproof: Never worry about a warped shaft again. Our carbon fiber is immune to the elements, making it the perfect companion for tournament travel. Package Includes: 1 x Rhino Carbon Fiber Shaft (30") (Note: Butt/Handle is not included. This is a single shaft only.)

  • Good product at a reduced price!
Team Name: Q-loc Size: 11.8 mm
I was skeptical going with a cheaper option vs a big name brand but I do have to say, I’m impressed with the action of this shaft. After reading some reviews I did decide to immediately get different tip on it as there were mixed reviews on the tip itself. I would highly recommend this as a cheaper but great option for someone looking to spend less on a shaft. 20+ years of billards experience as seasonal pool league player ... show more

  • Very Good Shaft
Team Name: 3/8-10 Size: 12.5 mm
This is a great shaft. Had mine for about a month and absolutely love it. I've heard some say the they don't care for the tip but to me it plays just fine. Just a nice medium tip. Zero complaints! Fit and finish are outstanding also. Currently playing mine on a Mcdermott G212 and its a match made in heaven. I highly recommend keeping that couple extra hundred in your pocket that you would spend on some of the other brands and going with the RHINO! ... show more

  • Bang for your buck!
Team Name: Q-loc Size: 11.8 mm
WARNING (long read ahead)... After using it for 3 months, Shaft itself is perferct. Where would you find an aftermarket 30" pro taper that somewhat fits to your uniloc predator butt and the price is half of a revo cost. The only downside for me is the time crystal tip. (subjective opinion). Don't get me wrong, I love the way how soft it felt. I wish Rhino would be able to develop a harder time crystal tip in the future. This tip is built like a tank, for some reason the tip doesn't mushroom like normal soft tip. I was surprised after 3 months it is still in the same shape as I pull it out from the box. 🤣 no joke! After 3 months of almost playing daily. The tip itself has finally come to an end. it chipped off due to my bad stroke that led me to miscue and then this happened. (See photo attached). I don't normally write online reviews of products that I purchased online but this one is one hell of a shaft. I would definitely recommend this shaft as a primary shaft or spare shaft if you are looking for something that will not break your bank. ... show more

  • Want to save big bucks and get an excellent product?
Team Name: 3/8-10 Size: 12.2 mm
Excellent shaft. No need to pay $500 for a good carbon shaft. The Rhino shaft does everything all the high priced shafts do. Great taper and you even get an extra inch (30") instead of the standard ( 29") which i believe helps with the follow through. I bought two Rhino shafts and like them both. I got the 11.8 and the 12.2. Rhino offers more shaft sizes than any cue maker. Save yourself a few Benjamin's and rack em up! ... show more

  • Best replacement shaft you can buy for the money!!!
Team Name: 3/8-10 Size: 10.5 mm
This is a great upgrade from any older cue, fit was nearly perfect on my old McDermette cue. I got the 10.5mm tip and that produces a lot of English on the cue. Very well made and almost zero deflection.

  • Fantastic performance for the price
Team Name: 3/8-10 Size: 12.2 mm
Kind of shocked with the performance of this shaft! Very happy so far but will likely change tips soon.
