Bang, boing, bing.Absolutely gorgeous cue by renowned cuemaker Ariel Carmelli. If you want to talk to him feel free to email Ariel or call him at 90.Īnd here's more great news! Ariel just phoned us recently to let us know that he plans on visiting once again so he can pick out some more great shafts. His prices are extremely fair for what he builds. His finish is exceptional and the hit is real nice. I will say that he does build a beautiful cue and I've had the pleasure of hitting a few with two of them. We've found that no two cue makers pick the identical shafts when the opportunity presents itself to pick to their hearts content.Īnyway, getting back to the nut, errrr, I mean Ariel - he's really a strange duck to say the least. We've had numerous cue makers come through our shop and go through the very same shaft wood that other cue makers rejected and they're all able to buy as many as they like. Everyone agrees that we're all looking for staight grain, bla, bla, bla. There's one thing that we noticed about shafts and cue makers that's really strange. Ariel has told us that out of 100 shafts that he purchased on his first trip, he lost fewer than 5 which is an "incredible yield". He wanted to get as many shafts as he could because we have "the best shafts that he's come across in years". The first time he came through he purchased a nice quantity of shafts and we got to know one another. We had the unpleasant misfortune of having Ariel visit us twice. After having him in the shop for 4 hours, I can honestly say that we were glad to see him leave as the bouncing of the shafts got to our head - thank God for Advil! The shaft can be tight grain or loose grain as long as it has the tone he's listening for. He pulls down about 50 shafts, then he takes each shaft and bounces it on the ground and listens for a certain tone. You see, Ariel is quite unique in the method of picking shafts for his cues. We allowed him to go through part of our shaft inventory and he picked out what he claims are the best shafts for his cues. Ariel is shown here trying to snatch up as many shafts as he can. The lunatic to your left is Ariel Carmelli.
