Is there specific reason why this is done?
What's special about double-jointed cues?

Are you referring to a jump/ break cue?
I don't see any other reason for a double joint.

Double Jointed?
What do you mean?
is it one of those joint screws that have 2 different thread sizes on one shank?
I seen this before.
Must be for propriatory reasons, (did I spell that correctly?
)
As for alignment, it didn't have a pilot, but it had part of the shank that was not threaded and probally served as the "fit", controling side to side movement.

Maybe you mean the Viking double threaded joint?
A large OD male thread on the shaft insert pilot that matches the inside threads of the stainless butt collar, and a female internal thread in that shaft insert of the same pitch but 5/16 diameter pin? Mostly gimick in my opinion, one can just use a piloted brass insert to match the pin and turn down the pilot to fit inside the female threads in the SS butt joint collar.

A double-jointed cue will make the shaft and butt more like one. There are peoples who like the wood-to-wood joint more than a brass-joint, because a wood-to-wood joint gives better feedback. But a wood-to-wood joint isn't as strong as a brass-joint, it breaks more easier. So they make a double-jointed cue. I've seen two different kind of double-joints. The first joint is brass and the second joint is wood. The brass will make the joint stronger, and the wood will make the cue feels like one. The second double-joint was two joints from wood. It just makes the joint stronger.

I don't think it does.
Radial threads and a flat face should outlast your lifetime.

So any reason why a playing cue will this way?

When you use a shaft with this kind of joint:
The pressure will be on the shaft. When you use double joint, the pressure will be on the shaft AND butt. So it will spread the pressure, and it will break less easier. I have no experience on double jointed cues, so I don't know if it's really stronger, but it should be.
