Ariel Carmeli cue playability

When many will say a cue is a cue, I appreciate the amount of info you packed in a few concise sentences. On your good cues, is that the order in best to worse?. I did hit a scruggs sneaky once. It wasn't goodbut it may have been a bad cue. Ive been leary of buying a scruggs since. Should I be?
You have to remember it’s also largely opinion based. My personal Carmeli has the best hit of any cue I’ve ever used, that includes everyone one of the makers he mentioned.

Radial shafts not fitting well on non-predator cues

  • you will have to do this many times over as the radial pin is designed to be a high friction thread anyway.
Threads to not work by having "friction" !
Threads work by creating tension--and the thing that tension is applied to is the thing that has the Friction !
Cue assembly Friction is between the face of the butt and face of the shaft.

Also, Threads do not create concentricity !
Concentricity is created by a pilot or tenon or register.

Was pool better 50 years ago?

we called pill pool and kelly pool the same thing although maybe they were not. but were referred as such.

i still have an old pill pool bottle with the pills still. i dont know how old it is as it came with one of my tables.

we played it some in the poolrooms but it died out quickly as players found out guys teamed up and helped each other make their pill ball. or wouldnt make each others.
not as bad as those teaming up playing indian poker.
Yep, the same

The way it was usually played in our old pool hall was that every player drew a set number of pills (usually 2 or 3) depending upon the number of players).

Then they played a ring game of 15-ball rotation.

If a shooter made a ball with another person's pill number, the person with that pill number had to pay the shooter a set amount of money (they usually played $0.25 a pill, but sometimes higher).

If a shooter made a ball with his own pill number, EVERYBODY in the game had to pay him the set amount of money.
