Rhino- new stick brand, great materials and smart designs.

Hi Guys and girls,

One of my spanish friends who plays for Athletic Teressa has started up his own hockey brand. He has asked me to monitor if there is any interest in the UK for his sticks. The design pictures are links to pictures on Facebook so feel free to have a look! Prices will range from £90 (Pink Stick and juniors to £180 (5.0). They are 100% carbon apart from the 1.0 (80% carbon), Pink (65%Carbon) The 2.0 is a very similar mould to the Mazon Black Magic Slingshot and try nice to hit with!

If you like the look contact me and any feedback would be brilliant!

They look pretty nice is there a website or something or is that still in progress - but it's a good look there and they sound pretty good, i won't need a new stick for a while yet but if they perform as well as they look and you say they do then i would be interested - what sort of weights/lengths are there?

Hi matey, there is no website I am afraid...as this is quite literally the 1 st year my friend from Spain has set up Rhino. So if there was enough interest I was going to ship a few over and sell them. Lengths - anything you need and all the normal lengths 36.5 and 37.5,

Bows-
1.0- 20mm late bow
2.0- 24 late bow (special for dragflickers)
3.0- 24mm central bow
4.0- 20mm late bow
5.0- 20mm central bow

Weights vary. Hope that helps

Yeah it does thanks, but as i said i don't need a new stick now (and can't afford one) and probably won't for a couple of years yet but if it's still going strong/established in a few years time i think they would definitely be a consideration.

No worries and thanks for the feedback. Greatly appreciated!

they should sponsor our club

Bet your sponsor would be happy to see you shipping over a few sticks of another brand !!

we are sponsored by a pub and a beer!

Not you Inselaffen, I know who you are sponsored by you took us there during the IMHT, and a fine (but very ineffcient pub it is !) I was refering to Mazon1986 !!!!

haha that is an awesome picture! which club is it? And Otss I have already cleared it with my sponsor as it is only about 5 rhino sticks I am shipping in! As when you are selling to Universities and a lot of clubs 5 sticks is irrelevant. But thank you for your concern

Im always looking for alternatives to million pound Gryphon's I currently use, Would need a demo tho.

Id imagine that would be his biggest obstacle in trying to break into the market

Yeh that is the problem the guys are just focusing on Spain at the moment. I am just getting a few in to see if their is interest in the U.K for them as they are good mates. I will keep you updated though.

Ah yes I'd forgotten about that. It hasn't got any more efficient

Tornados HC in Singapore. for some unknown reason we have a Rhino in our club crest.

They certainly do their bit for sobreity there by making it as hard as possible to purchase a drink - though we really enjoyed and appreciated your hosting of us.

Singapore is not known for good service. You heading for the masters in England?

No deceided to go out on a high with the win in Singapore, body is letting me down, so I'm not playing anymore (at this stage !). Sure it will be a great tournament though with so many more teams.

you must have some pretty dire pubs in your neck of the woods then!

I heard about Rhino for the first time this year, as I had a guy playing with it in my team in Holland. Seems like a pretty good stick for a very good price as i've heard! Would love to try your drag-flicking stick! I'm currently playing with the slingshot, so a similar mould is always good to try!
