it may stay the same or even be less than 19" from butt
one more inch of butt material outweighs one more inch of shaft wood
Is the new cue longer because you want to hold it further back?
When I do a balance point on a cue I measure from the tip.
A persons stance and bridge will determin the balance point that they like in a cue. Someone who has their chin on the cue shooting has their arms further apart and tend to hold the cue further down the handle.
Someone who stands almost upright will hold the cue closer to the front of the wrap.
So from what I have seen, people who hold the cue towards the front of the wrap in a more upright shooting stance , prefer a more forward balance point.
But people who shoot prone or with their chin on the cue, often prefer the
balance point alot further back and the feel of all the cue weight under the swing arm.
I have my chin close to the shaft and my balance point is 42 inches from the tip.
So it depends on how you shoot.
It may well be that on the new cue you may still want the balance point at 39 inches from the tip.

Balance point
I don't get it?
Where a cue balances on your finger means nothing. What scientific formula do you add that value into to get an outcome?
Now if you were calculating the effects and forces at impact for say topspin you would need the speed/weight of the cue (for forward force)
from where you hold your cue back hand measure the downward force at the tip for the SIDE force in the equation +tip friction + offset.
Just a thought
