I'm not a cuemaker, but I'm a mechanical engineer. I'm sure I know what a flex point is on a beam, though it would be a misnomer.
Someone's already put the definition that would be consistent in structural engineering: the point of highest instantaneous rate of change of beam deflection in a given end-loaded condition (assuming a supported opposite end).
This beam deflection profile has nothing (statistically insignificant) to do with cueball squirt and shaft pivot points. Proven over and over and over and over, but I know there is still confusion in the cuemaker community.
If anyone wants a real discussion on this, get a hold of me. I won't exhaust myself here again.
