We stopped selling Rhino because we saw too many ferrule failures. When a ferrule lets go on a carbon fibre shaft, the shaft does not simply crack — it can shatter. We had enough of them come back that we were no longer comfortable putting one in a

customer’s hands, so we pulled the whole brand rather than keep selling through the
stock we had.
Quarter King only sells gear we would put in our own case. When the materials in a
shaft are not up to the job, that is not a discount we are willing to pass on to you.
If you bought a Rhino from us previously and you have had a failure, contact us — we
will help you sort it out.
If you came here for a carbon fibre shaft, the good news is you have better options
at the same money. Two routes work well:
1. Buy the shaft, keep the cue
Our own Quarter King Carbon Fiber Shaft is $269.99 and it is in stock.
If you already have a butt you like, this is the cheapest honest way into carbon fibre.
Check the joint on your cue first — the thread has to match — and our
joint and pin identifier will tell you what you have
in about thirty seconds. The shaft fit finder will then
show you everything that threads onto it.
2. Pair that shaft with a solid butt
runs $140–$275 and a Players
tops out around $395, so either one plus our $269.99 carbon shaft lands you in the same
bracket as a factory carbon cue — except you chose both halves, and you can move
the shaft to a different butt later. Both brands are known for straight, well-finished
butts at sane money, which is exactly what you want under a carbon shaft.
3. Buy a carbon cue outright under $500
If you would rather have it arrive as one cue, these are in stock now:
— the KAT2502 carbon fibre cue is $427.50, and the Dragon Carbon Core shaft on its own is $134.10.
This is the best-value entry into the category we stock.
Scorpion Carbon Fiber — sneaky petes and a break cue at $405.
Poison Candy and Maelith — carbon shaft included, $449.
Summit carbon fibre break cues — $449.10.
All of them use shafts we are happy to stand behind. If you want a hand choosing,
call us on 844 408 3056 — we would rather spend five minutes getting it
right than sell you the wrong thing.
We currently stock 25 Rhino items, from $139 to $359.
We saw a high rate of ferrule failures, and on a carbon fibre shaft a failed ferrule can cause the shaft to shatter rather than just crack. We had enough come back that we pulled the brand instead of selling through our remaining stock.
Yes. Get in touch and we will help you work out your options, including fitting a replacement shaft that matches your joint. We will not leave you stranded on a cue we sold you.
Our Quarter King Carbon Fiber Shaft is $269.99 and fits a wide range of cues. Identify your joint first with our joint and pin identifier, then confirm fitment with the shaft fit finder.
The Katana Dragon KAT2502 at $427.50 is the strongest value we stock. Scorpion Carbon Fiber sneaky petes are $405, and Poison Candy and Maelith cues run $449 with the carbon shaft included.
Yes, and it is a smart way to do it. A Valhalla ($140–$275) or a Players (up to $395) butt paired with our $269.99 carbon shaft costs about the same as a factory carbon cue, and you can move the shaft to another butt later. Just make sure the joint matches.
