I modeled my shaft taper after the Schuler Professional taper, just a tad stiffer. His 'pro' taper was pretty stiff to begin with. Mine grows about .035 in the first 10" before it transitions to a cone taper. It's quite stiff and I like it that way.
Thanks Paul. I have a Wheeler cue that similar to that.
Thanks again to everyone who commented on this thread. I have learned alot about shaft tapers and different perspectives.
