Have you played with a hybrid shaft yet??

I'm confused about the word polishing in the context of cf. Everyone says you shouldn't sand cf because it exposes the fibers which you'd like to stay encapsulated in the resin they were made with but isn't polishing really sanding. If not, what's the difference. Is there a way to polish that doesn't expose fibers and potentially make the shaft shed?

I would say as long as you don't use a large grit and put a shitload of elbow grease on it, you'll be ok. Stay with the finer grits. 2k, even 3k. Or use a polishing disc. Just be careful of the rpm. All you're trying to do is put a shine on the new stuff so it blends w the old stuff. This is going to take some time when you use those fine numbers. Be prepared for a lengthy story Polish.
Hour should do it. If your arm can hold out that long.

Spoke with Vince on the phone this evening. An enjoyable conversation. His pedigree as it relates to the understanding of the cue shaft is impressive. He seems to be infinitely invested in producing a very good product...
I haven't personally tried one of his cue shafts...yet. But I certainly wouldn't be afraid to take one for a spin.
