Refinish a CF shaft

If you get too aggressive with the surface, the problem I see is potentially compromising the wall thickness of the shaft. Many of these CF shafts are ~1mm wall thickness to begin with...give or take.
compromising the wall thickness is not an issue, since when you sand the shaft, you will sand less than a single layer of the underlying carbon fiber fabric. If you were to sand more than a single layer, it would visibly show, and the shaft would be worthless. We're talking about just roughening up the top surface, it's not even really sanding. More like touching up. It changes the diameter of the shaft less than 0.01 mm. To structurally weaken the shaft, you'd need to sand through multiple layers of the fabric. In practice, for me, this is 2 quick and light passes with sandpaper whilst the shaft is spun up on the lathe. Nothing more.

AZB updates its money list when event results are published and reported to them, not when they happen. FYI, Filler's 100K score in Qatar isn't reflected in the AZB money list yet, either. He'll have a huge and insurmountable lead on the 2026 AZB money list once the event is included and with the Mosconi Cup and two Predator majors left this year, his earnings will exceed $400,000 this year, a huge haul in a year in which there was no World 9ball Championship.

... but that said, if the prize money payouts of an event are never reported to AZB, they will never be reflected in the totals. This year, in particular, it means that Wu Jiaqing's roughly $1,500,000 score (more than all but seven players have made in their entire pro pool career) at the Duya Legends event is not included.

AZB does a great job with the money list, but, because event producers don't always send the results promptly and sometimes not at all, it does miss a few events and there is a little lead time before recently completed events are reflected.

Based on experience, I would expect the Qatar World Cup results to be reflected by the end of the week.

Any tips for consistently shooting with follow through?

Hello. I only just recently got back into this game after a 15+ year absence. Im trying to salvage any ability that I had once upon a time. I seem to have found my stance, my multiple bridges and the ability to line up shots without issue. The one thing I am currently struggling with is consistently shooting with follow through. I know im not poking at the CB but im not followimg through either. Any tips or drills recommended would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
This is a GREAT example of a proper swing....8:15 timeline.

The FSR overhead shot is VERY unique/not seen this camera angle before/love it, allows one to see the total body alignment/shot execution.
We sure do have to unnaturally contort our body allot to ''line up''
Sorry Zar didn't do the direct link time line from the video.
