[Question] Looking for the Rhyno specialist..

Hmm. Maybe I'll try to find a champ rhyno on the flatter side.

Good luck with that.

Gstar is the best premium plastic Rhyno in my opinion that is still in regular production. XG may be better, but it is limited and I have no experience with it other than holding one or two. Gtar is grippy, mostly flat, and can take abuse. Also, not as gummy as you might think, even in very hot weather.

Totally agree with this. ^^^^

G* Rhynos are actually kind of slick.

I've tried for two years to find a flat champ or star Rhyno (traveling to shops in a 200 mile radius) and I gave up.

I did buy a nice grippy champion and flattened it using the boiling water method. Easier to just get a G*. Could try the Pro from the factory store.

I personally have settled on the R-Pros. Easy to find and I get a lot of life out of them.
 
I'll take your word for it guys.

Might just have to grab a g star.
 
I love my Rancho Champion Rhyno, but when you are speaking of grip, you just can't beat the Gstar Rhyno, in my opinion.
 
Apparently they have already tried making XTs. The URL says XT and the review says they were marked XT on the bottom. Anyone know why these didn't stick? I'm assuming there were molding issues...

I bought one, no moulding issues, XT just never took off. Slight dome and puddles on top of you stack any weight on it.
 
So who would like XT Rhynos? I know it has already been discussed in this thread but I'm curious to see if we could get enough to get some run for those of us who want a firm and tacky Rhyno.
 
I like my g* a lot! Although I just got a RGD chalky scale that flys a very similar approach line (I haven't really gave it a good test for driving yet). I think it's slightly faster and glider than the rhyno, but the chalky base plastic feels really good, and it seems to find the basket. Especially in the cold, definitely better grip and still holds some flex as we get into a proper winter here.
 
I picked up a couple of newer gummy Champ Rhynos that feel awesome. They seem a bit straighter and glidier than my older champs and lusters though. They're flying closer to 2//2/0/2 or even 1. I don't mind it, but I went OB a couple of times today because they didn't hook up like I was expecting.

My Gstar is at least 0/2 approaching 0/3
 
the best current Rhyno's are the colour glow champ. board flat, feel and fly like my best Ontario's

Most discs made in Glow Champion plastic seems to be more flat then the standard Champion counterpart. I will get those Glow disc for my new Champion discs assuming it is made in that plastic, as a more domed Champion plastic I have to throw those harder to get the initial flight going for discs faster then the true midranges. The only Driver I have that I can use with a mid dome, is a Discraft disc.
 
Question for old school rhyno experts - I recently received a couple of DX Ontario Rhynos in a trade. They are PFN and have Ontario tooling on the bottom - did not notice if there were patent #s or not.

Noticed that my newer champ rhyno has rancho tooling. Anything special about DX Ontarios or do they throw the same as current run DX?
 
I like the older DX Ontario PFN Rhynos. They are more OS... but not drastically so.
Ranchos are fine for DX Rhynos... but given the choice I will always take an Ontario.
Patent #'s should be guaranteed on there.
 
Fun point of interest for Rhyno patent #'s:

As far as I know, any Rhyno with the Ontario tooling should have the standard patent number tooling on the bottom of the flight plate AND a different patent # tooled into the top of the thumb track.

Tanks also have the patent number on the thumbtrack - it took me a while of throwing them to even notice. I have one that is so used it's completely worn off.
