The Impact of Tapering in Cue Design
Tapering refers to the gradual reduction in the diameter of the cue from the butt to the tip. There are several types of tapers used in cue construction, including the "pro taper," which gradually narrows along the entire shaft, and the "European taper," which is often shorter and steeper. The taper affects how the cue feels during play, influencing shot power, accuracy, and overall control. A pro taper offers a consistent, smooth stroke, while a European taper can provide better stability and balance during long-range shots. Understanding the different tapers will help players choose a cue that complements their style.
