I have always been a big fan of the old champ and pro rhynos. The flat, OOP, ontario ones specifically. I haven't tried the factory store "stiff pro rhynos" but heard they are nice. I've owned and thrown just about every Rhyno ever made. Proline, Pro, Ontario pearly domey champ, Ontario flat glass top champ, gummies, san marino, rancho, dx, dx flat top, etc. I am not necessary a fan of thumbtracks but I love the lack of glide / drop on a dime, straight to fade path that I can run at the basket, panning annys that don't flip and burn, and usefulness on approaches (BH and FH).
What got me thinking about this question was Aviar3 thread, where McBeth went from P2 to Aviar3 now to champ aviar for an approach putter. The answer is easy, GET A RHYNO! I'm not a fan of the "new/current run" champs, dx, and gstars (San Marino and rancho tooled). They are too domey and don't have as much late fade IMO. They don't feel right in the hand. The current runs of Rpros are nice, but I can understand not liking the floppiness. I'm sure the pros sponsored by Innova could get their hands on some flat champs if they wanted.
So my question, why don't more pros throw rhynos? I can't name a single one who does. I don't think I've seen an ITB with rhynos. Can the pros accomplish rhyno shots with their throwing putters, so they don't need one?
