Tapering question: Forearm and Wrap

I play with a cue that has a consistent taper from shaft all the way down to the butt sleeve. The feel of the cue from my bridge hand to my other hand feels consistent all the way through.

My question is....after handling some higher end cues, I have notice that the taper on the wrap portion feels smaller than my cue or a house cue.

I've heard of things like a Pro Taper and other things for shafts but is there a specific taper on this portion of a cue? I would like to order a cue in the future with this particular feel.
 
Sounds like a billiard cue/conical taper .
Not too many like that for pool.
The reason being is it gets too fat at the bottom.
There's also a big difference in the grip size in the middle of the wrap and at the bottom.
Not too many like that shaft taper either. It's just too stiff and moves too much on the bridge hand.

You might as well caliper your joint size and the bottom size .
If you really like that taper that is.
The most popular taper is some .840" at the joint and 1.250" or so at the bottom. It's around .014" per inch.
Figure it'd be more for your liking .
