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.
😎👍

you shouldn't sand a cf shaft because it is not needed. CF shafts are smooth and all you need is to use alcohol wipes to clean them if they get dirty and sticky and they'll be back to be as smooth as new.
If you feel like you need to sand a CF shaft then in my opinion it is simply a poor quality shaft and you should pass on it.

I'd put it in the trash before I'd sand one. I'm asking because I've seen some delivered that are covered with what appears to be sanding residue that takes a significant amount of cleaning to remove. Assumed they were broken fibers. Seems someone sanded it.
 
Literally got a Predator Centro today. Got it for my old SP trying to get closer to the Revo feel.
Initial thought: it's got a bit of all 3 shafts. Taper feels between a 314 and Z, Revo tip diameter and stiffness. I like it so far.

It was started by someone commenting that a gouged cf shaft was useless. I said not true some cyanoacrylate and polishing will take care of gouges in cf. In that case sanding/polishing is required.
