Taper

Now a days that is like asking what is everyone's favorite shoe type. In the past it was 5/16 14 and 5/16 18 and 3/8 10. Now there are a lot more choices with radial pins, G-10 and multiple quick release types. There are also several others that I didn't mention.

Now that's an interesting response, considering the OP asked a one sentence question about TAPERS.

G10 is not a new type of threaded pin or another type of pin - it is just a different pin material. G10 comes (at least to my knowledge) in 3/8-10 and radial thread.
Interesting enough your answer to the thread has nothing to do with the original question :rolleyes:

The pro taper of at least 10 inches pretty much straight from the tip back has been most popular for many years. When I say pretty much straight, that is where every cuemaker may vary it to achieve the right stiffness for the diameter shaft they are making and for the way they want their cue to play. My shafts increase about 1/4mm in the first 12 inches. Shaft diameters of around 12.75mm has now become more popular than 13mm among most top cuemakers. 13mm reigned as king for decades.

Chris.

I use the shaft taper on my deluxe just like it came with. I take it that it is the same taper that you use.

Everyone likes the stiff hit. I am not changing it.

Not today! We went and watched one of my grand daughters play in the play area at Chick-Fila and visited with my daughter and grandson while she played. I didn't even climb the stairs or slide on the slide once with her, yet I am exhausted. :)
