Hey Vanessa. We've created a video that might help answer your question - http://www.karatedepot.com/video-4-How-to-Size-and-Select-a-Bo.html. Check it out!

In general, the tapered bo have a more centralized pivot point which allows them to spin a little easier. However the tradeoff of less material on the end makes for a bo that is a bit more susceptible to breaking as well as a slight loss in centrifugal power.
