Of these 3 CF shafts, which do you have or would purchase?

I came from wood too, though not for 50 years, and that warm feel was the thing I was worried about losing when I tried carbon. Of your three, the Jacoby is the one that felt closest to wood to me — the V4 I hit with had a softer, fuller hit than the Cynergy, which felt a bit firmer and crisper in my hands. I have not hit the SMO, so I can't compare that one fairly. One thing I would add: the tip will change the feel as much as the shaft will. I moved from a super soft to a medium when I switched, and that took a lot of the hollow feeling away for me. If you can, try the Jacoby and the Cynergy back to back on your Schon before you buy — that is what made the choice clear for me, and at around 12.4 the Jacoby felt right.

The tip does change the feel significantly. Especially with breaking and follow shots.

Another Pool Design…..that is UGLY.

I really like the Pagulayan chalk cube shape and what’s not to like about TAOM Chalk. So it is the best combination, IMO.
However, when it comes to pool balls, Pagulayan really blew it. This design rates a F along with some Dynasphere designs.

Centennials are admittedly my favorite but Aramith Tournament is a great design and I could tolerate the Rhodium design too.
However, these are just ugly, worse than Predator’s Black design. I posted so that I could get feedback from forum members.

Those are a hard pass IMO. Terrible color choices.

Filler’s 3-Rail Kick in the Reyes Cup … Was it the Right Choice?

Yes. I just move 2 last ball of that warm up rack to make 2 test shots like i did on video. That is common on official tournaments.

Makes sense. Did you know that at the Mosconi Cup, just three weeks away, nobody is permitted to warm up on the TV table, not even in off hours? Hence, the data for multi-rail paths must be collected as the Mosconi Cup progresses.

Yes, good idea, but ...

In truth, the chance to warm on a stream table at a major championship is usually minimal, typically, but not always, restricted to one rack each for you and your opponent. Over the years, I've heard more than a few players complain about this, noting that the table in the practice room may or may not play like the one on which they must compete, but their complaints have, too often, fallen on deaf ears.

Any tips for consistently shooting with follow through?

D
Trying to extend follow through will likely lead to trying to power through the ball and is a horrible way to think of the desired outcome.

You don't follow through the ball, you naturally allow your stroke to come to an end. On some shots that could take three inches, on others it may take a foot. People with bad form who hold the cue at the very butt and strike the cue before their forearm is vertical will either have a long follow through or they will be using power to decelerate the cue.

Follow through is simply the worst things a player can concentrate on.
