ah, but did you employ the method of balancing the cue on your finger, or did you calculate its centre of gravity? I think that was what Brendan was asking...
Dude, he is a "scientist", don't doubt him. Hahaha. Nevermind about the balancing point. It doesn't really matter now.

B) actually. I measured the cues with my mobile phone built in mass spectrometer, ultrasound device and laser goniometer.
what it does is takes a perfect 3D model of the cues, measuring the density and geometry of each specific wood splice.
then it is very easy to calculate mass, length, balance point and so on...
And I told you before why you don't qualify to judge...
And yeah, just to dam up you MW cue drivel: YES, his old air lock joint became lose. The cue sounded as if the shaft was cracked/damaged, but I was lucky and it could be fixed (easily for him, as MW told me).
Of course I measured the balance point myself. I'm a scientist, I can do that.

Heres my baby, custon made by Robin Cook (top bloke). The finest cue I have ever held.
Cheers
beautiful cue!
congratulations! =)))) i'm kind of jealous a little.... =))))
i love the wood! it just makes you want to grab the cue and play with it FOREVER!!!!
way to go man!!!!!!!
Why do you not like airlocks? I personally like them... They are strong, well designed, and make a "phut" sound when you unscrew them
But in the end a joint is a joint
Because (I think) my previous 3/4 airlock joint cue has caused my cue butt splices crack. I don't know, but the feeling was not right (the shaft and the butt were likely from two different part of cues). No matter what, I have fobia using this type of joint now.
Maybe, the cue manufacturer itself is a lousy cue maker as well. I only managed to use it about 3 to 4 frames before I noticed the splices cracked.
I like it when you said the "phut" sound thing...hahaha...a very cool way to explain it..
