the cuetec is perfect for all but power shots like full ball hit , unless i choke up which i forget to do sometimes
and really dont want a cracked ferrule
other than that i dont have any issue with it
ill most likely stick with the cuetec tho, just curious to know what else is out there in tapers other than the standard straight taper

Pedro, Mazin and many others use the Tiger "Eiffel" taper (CPro) taper that I now use for the same reason, I can't play with a strong conical taper. This taper feels very comfortable to me and I can still aim with lol. It's not as stiff of a hit, so not quite the same power as a conical taper, but life is all about choices.

My cue is a Tiger cue with 2 butterfly veneers (not sure of the model) that I bought through Gilbert Najm. I didn't care for the sniper tip that came with and now have a TechnoDud installed and like it better.

Decal cues are the best

Out of sheer curiosity, I just bought an Evo decal cue from their Royale series (on the right, in case it wasn't obvious, lol). $104 and, to be completely honest, I do not hate it. In fact, playing with it makes me giggle a little; it's fun and I actually shoot decent with it. It won't be replacing any of my better cues, but I do like bringing it to the pool hall occasionally.

A funny story, the first time I brought it to where I play, a guy playing on the table next to mine came over and asked about it, thinking it was an expensive custom. It was humorous when he found out it was just a cheap decal cue. It's obvious from up close, but from the next table over, maybe not so much.

I've had the same experience. I ended up with some decal cues to keep on the rack for the kids and their friends. One day I screwed a good shaft on one and it plays just fine. I would have no problem playing a serious game with that cue (with better shaft).
