Carl Aranda cues

[kligu]

Hi everybody,

does anybody here has any information about a cue maker called Carl Aranda?
All I could find out using google and the search function in this forum is that Carl Aranda is from Australia. But I could not find any information about his cues and their reputation. I am asking because I came across a very nice one and bought it at what seemed to me as a fair price. The badge says "Carl Aranda PTM Cue". Any kind of help is highly appreciated!

Thanks

I think that he used to be on here as JP1 and got banned . Think ADR knows a bit about the guy .

Recall him putting pics up of a few English UK Cuemakers premises and moaning that they didn't look nice .

Believe he also got found out for selling fake John Parris cues .

ADR should be able to shed some more info on him .

He made a nice cue though

He certainly didn't make any cues!! He used to have Andy Bream make cues for him but then when Andy stopped making cues he imported them from China and Thailand.

What Olgit says is correct, Carl made nothing but was a trader, mainly of cues made in Asia.

Hi Andy,

Well a mate of mine may well want to go, and if he does, I'll deffo go along with him. Tell you about that again when we speak.

Mike, yes maybe March is possible, or Sheffiled later on, we'll see. I'll have a chat to my matey and see what he reckons to it.

We could make our very own.... "a Scotsman a Welshman and Englishman walk into a bar joke"...haha.

Will give you a call next week if you're about Mike.

You too Andy.
