Mid America lathe upgrade

Just got them from you a couple days back. with some other stuff. They're a great upgrade, especially on the small wheel. I really appreciate your good and quick service.
I know my extender bar looks a little funky, but it works. Looking at it now in the picture, I think next time I'm in the shop I'll look for an angled flathead screw, and angle out the extender bar hole there so the screw sits flush and looks nicer. Stupid, I know, but once something bugs me I have to try and correct it. May even have to use a stainless screw so the head matches my buffed bar, ha ha.
Anyway, I really like those handles, and it was a simple install, if you already have a drill and a 10x24 tap.

Are these handles you made or ones that came from me? I have sent a few sets out to guys already. I love the extender bar. Very clever solution. I have these handles already in stock and will have them available for sale on the site in the next few days - thanks for sharing !!

Predator's WPA Women's World 9 Ball

I personally don't think there is any USA born female "today" that can beat Savannah.

Let's not confuse hype for performance. Savannah has been outperformed by Florida's Sofia Mast. Sofia has a Top 5 in a world championship event, coming fifth in the 2024 World 10ball. Savannah has no high finishes in World Championship play to this point. Mast has a junior World 9ball championship on her resume and Savannah does not. This week looks like more of the same as Sofia has won her first two in the Women's World 9ball, including a win over World #1 Jasmin Ouschan, and Savannah sits on the loser's side.

I wish Savannah the best, but from my vantage point her progress has been slow. We all remember the hype about her game when she was 13 and the predictions of superstardom, but she will be 16 in about seven weeks.

In women's pro pool, 16 is not young. Jean Balukas and Loree Jon Jones, the two most noteworthy American teen phenoms ever in women's pool, had already won world championships by age 15. Siming Chen won a world championship at 16 and added the China Open at 17. Han Yu won the All-Japan at age 17. Jasmin Ouschan won the gold medal at the World Games at 19. As we so often discuss on the forum, a player can only be judged against his/her contemporaries, and based on Fargo, Savannah is currently World #72, a longshot in a match against any world championship caliber player.

Savannah is way behind the greatest female teens our game has produced. Her modest rate of progress suggests she is not going to win anything big anytime soon. Of course, I'd be delighted to be wrong about this.
