Well, no one else has tried to answer your question - publicly at least. Sorry to answer a question with a question, but do you have a particular cue that you are questioning? If so, post pictures of it here, with close-ups of the area where the bottom of the points and the handle meet.
In more general terms, it's not hard to tell. Take a look at a "bar cue" or a "sneaky pete" - they are full-splice cues.
Finally, if you're asking for the difference in a full-splice and a half-splice cue, I would refer you to Google.
Hope this helps,
Gary

Are you referring to four point cues that have wraps that cover the bottoms of the points?

With a full splice, the points and handle are both the same piece of wood. If it's wrapped, you will need to take the wrap off to see this.

here are the pics
from the post above im assuming id have to remove the wrap to know ??

.........or you could ask the builder. His name is on the cue.

I don't think Pete built many full splice, so I think you have a regular v-groove forearm cue.
