Balance of Delike Submarine pen with wood barrel and full converter

From the album: Hanging in the balance
If I recall correctly, the vendor called this pen model (with four variants in the type of wood used) a very informative “Delike Handmade Nature Wood Barrel", but it looks just like a Delike Submarine with a wooden barrel and brass finial to me.© A Smug Dill

Balance of the Delike Submarine and Jinhao 51A pens compared

I must admit I'm uncertain whether the Delike Submarine pen pictured has an acrylic barrel or a celluloid barrel. The item listing said celluloid, but I cannot detect any camphor smell.© A Smug Dill

Kaigelu 316 (2020 version) weight balance when uncapped.jpg
A Smug Dill posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: Hanging in the balance
The Kaigelu 316 has a reputation for being uncomfortably back-heavy. In 2020, it appears some design changes have been introduced in the new release colours of the model, such that the weight balance has shifted somewhat. (If I recall correctly, the converter attached to the gripping section was more than half-full of ink when I took this photo.)© A Smug Dill

What Is The Right Balance Point For A Pen?
praxim posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
I am curious to know what is considered the best / right / perfect balance point for a pen as it is held. This will be a centre of gravity point always locating in a narrow range regardless of pen length or weight (or else it would not be an ideal balance point). Is it measured in distance from the nib, the section (allowing for variation in grip) or somewhere else? Of course I know how comfortable I am with each of my pens, but I am wondering about the recommended or ideal position? I searched without finding a corresponding thread, in case this already exists as a topic.
