Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Taper as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
Taper refers to something that goes gradually from one size to a larger size. In a cue sport context, the term taper refers to the profile of a pool cue shaft increases in diameter running from the tip to the joint or center. Fast taper means that this the diameter increases relatively quickly, and a slow taper means that it increases more gradually.
I like your new cue, but the weighting feels off. It seems to have a fast taper.
