For the 1st time ever, I am experiencing a Mezz United Joint shaft that will not fit on a Standard 5/16x14 pool cue butt (that is not a Mezz).

Black-Balled

I honestly thought it was stuck, at about 3/4 way down (while trying to screw it together), lol, but thought the wax on the pin was worth a try. Was actually shocked that it worked. Or, maybe there was just some type of build up on the pin itself (if the threads were not completely clean), and cleaning it fixed it. I am just so happy it screws together now, lol. It is still noticeable more difficult on the last several turns, then on other Mezz shaft that I have tried in the past, on regular 5/16x14 joint pins.

Weird subtlety: an 11-10 handicap may be close to fair, but that doesn’t mean 11-10 is the most likely score in a race to 11. Because of the stopping rule, the winner must win the last rack. So 11-10 requires first getting to 10-10, while 11–9 only requires getting to 10-9. Hill-hill has more paths, but it also requires one extra rack from the eventual loser; when that player is below 50% per rack, 11-9 edges it out.

Yes, 11-9 is more likely than 11-10 and 10-11from 10-9. There are however more possibilities to be included before the final probabilities are calculated: 9-10 is also possible and from here the final outcome can be 9-11, 10-11 or 11-10, 11-10 being less likely than if it were 10-9.

I'd be interested to check the math, or use a calculating app to do so, and you may well be correct that 11-9 is more likely than 11-10 - but the higher rated player shouldn't be assumed to always be ahead.
