All Ariel Carmeli cues are 3/8x10 Modified pins. I own 6 of them.
I think that's why they're called custom cues.

Rather than guess or speculate, why doesn't someone just ask Ariel, duh?

Radial pin or 3/8x10 modified, what's the big deal? Would it make any difference in how the cue plays? Much ado about nothing.
I like how 3/x10 (modified or not) have the threads all the way up as I think it makes threading easier and more thread contact area.

Was this cue originally purchased at Seyberts? It looks like Seybert's had several cues similar to yours, but all of their cues had "imitation" ivory inlays. Yours is really nice!!!
Cue was bought from a reputable seller on Facebook. It is a beautiful cue.
Well, for one thing, the potential buyer might have other cues with the same pin and he doesn’t want to deviate because of having carbon fiber, Kielwood, or other special shafts they purchased or otherwise acquired. Getting a cue with a different pin complicates matters. I should know. I have six cues with 3 different big pins. So I bought a radial pin KW shaft but only have 1 cue it fits. The others have 3/8x10 & 3/8x11 pins. Do you see where I’m heading?
I am thrilled with the KW shaft. I wished all my shafts were KW. It plays that much better than original maple shafts. So
now I have a cue maker building me 2 KW shafts with 3/8x10 and 3/8x11 pins so all my cues can have a KW shaft. If all my cues had the identical pin instead of three different pins, I’d only have to buy one KW shaft or two if I wanted a backup shaft. It would save me a lot of money because KW shafts aren’t inexpensive but still less than some CF shafts.
The reason is monetary based not playability. All of my 6 cues are the same weight and play very similar since they also have the same specs and tips. It makes sense to know, or confirm, what you buying before you do. Always play it safe.
