Unique taper explained?

[CeaseLess]

So I know what a pro taper is, and I know what a conical tapper is but I'm not exactly sure what a pro conical or a modified conical is? I'm looking for the right taper for a custom shaft I'm going to get commissioned. I've always liked the taper of house cues, seeing as that's what we all usually learn on, and I have a Jacoby player which has a pro taper but I've never really been able to get used to it. I like the feeling of conical tapers getting tighter in your fingers through your follow thorough, it feels more secure to me. Is there a happy medium between the two tapers? Thanks in advance, -CeaseLess-

If a cuemaker can make a pro taper as well as a conical taper then he can probably make anything in between. I think you can get what you are looking for if you are willing to have somebody make it. Probably not already made though.

You can jog in boots but it ain't great.

I'd always thought that the modified-conical taper was inspired by this: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/...ane-curtin-news-photo/622356762?adppopup=true
