John, i usually find that graphites have a less pronounced spline that do glass rods. I've had graphites with splines only 90 degrees apart and some 180, like yours. Also, depending on the action, type, and manufacturer some splines are very difficult to distinguish from the major and minor spline. Especially when it comes to faster action rods. I do like you, base of the rod on the floor and upper 1/3 in my palm. Roll it and mark it several times to make sure you find the right spot. I also spin the rod around with the tip on the floor to make sure I'm right on.
My .02...Good luck
