Some of the best cuemakers in America, who frequented the store, instructed Ariel on various aspects of cuemaking.

With addtional labor and expense Ariel cores almost all of his custom cue forearms for strength and stability. Whether entry level or high-end, Ariel Carmeli cues are known for their solid, clean construction and playability.
