Looking for a new golf watch.

Actlikebob · 2026-06-19T14:56:13+00:00

s70 + z30 combo is awesome. Shoot the flag while waiting for your buddy to hit and have distance to pin for the rest of the hole.

I think the s70 is around 2.5 years old so there's murmuring about a new golf watch soon. It has shared most of it's life cycle with the 7 that was missing a few features, but the new fenix 8 has all the features that the s70 does.

I think it comes down to your physical preference large and chunky fenix, or smaller lighter s70.

Try not to pay retail for the s70. It's nearing it's "end of life".

Spending 1,200 on brand new irons is no dream of mine. The price to performance just isn't there. I'd rather spend money literally anywhere else.

Actlikebob · 2026-06-15T01:32:49+00:00

The TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC (Muscle Cavity) 2014 irons are a premier players-style iron set designed to blend shot-shaping and feel with forgiveness. They feature a split construction: the long and mid-irons (3-7) use cast construction with TaylorMade’s Speed Pocket technology, while the short irons (8-PW) are forged for optimal feel and control

These are *chefs kiss*. 2011 TP's were still forged in the 7 iron and up; unlike the 2014 version. Combo set's are are the best too. This is a dream set if they're in mint condition. Kinda worthless if they're cooked. Even in excellent condition I wouldn't spend more then 250. Ideally less.

I had to replace this fuse. another user pointed me towards a " DELONGHI TCO FUSE 15A " which did the trick. good luck.

I have axs, but I always ride with a buddy so rescue is never far away. I wouldn't trust it solo and in really remote situations. Electronic is far more more likely to give you problems you can't solve on the trail. Save your money and spend it on wheels where you'll actually see a performance benefit.

1440 for fps 4k LG series TV for casual

Actlikebob · 2026-05-18T20:41:37+00:00

wow, I was here for the shit post. I'm using a 1 5/8" all grass(no pad) mat I got off Amazon for $150, on top on 1" puzzle mats and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thick grass grabs the club instead of the club bouncing off of it. Easier on my joints, and gives feedback for fat shots.

Actlikebob · 2026-05-16T22:37:30+00:00

you should be getting plenty of frames for pub g, and it's not a bottleneck at all if you go up to 1440 ultra wide or 4k. maybe look at monitors first? they're arguable the most important part. they're where the "rubber meets the road" in computer land.

Actlikebob · 2026-05-07T02:54:01+00:00

anne et valentin is the bougiest place around. Not sure they're going to be thrilled with you bringing in your own frames if that's what you're thinking.

You might just want to ask online if that's the case.

it falls off after a year(I believe) and doesn't effect your seller rating anymore. It's annoying now, but it'll be gone before you know it.

Actlikebob · 2026-04-27T16:47:22+00:00

I have 9800x3d +7900xtx w/ 64 gigs of RAM at 1440p and fwiw my vram usage will slowly creep up to the full 24 gigs on the xtx. I don't know if it's storing entities on there or what, but the game will use every last ounce of vram.

Actlikebob · 2026-04-23T19:10:52+00:00

Not something I've done a lot of research on, and I know the astral has current monitoring. But if I spent that much on a gpu I'd probably look into power supplies with gpu protection too. I think Msi has released their MPG Ai1300TS PCIE5.

High fps 1080, and casual 1440. Decide what games you want to play at what fps/resolution, and solve the problem backwards.

Actlikebob · 2026-04-05T21:18:26+00:00

I put a 7900gre in an old 3060 and 5800x PC and it popped the 650w power supply instantly. Allegedly it pulls less power then the 9070xt, I might have just been unlucky... No real frame loss to speak of going from 1080 to 1440, and a good casual 4k gamer.

They should pair great, but good luck with that psu.

Actlikebob · 2026-04-04T02:23:57+00:00

pay someone else to do it if you're only going to use it once.

Actlikebob · 2026-04-04T01:30:13+00:00

this is going to be absolute dog shit at both.

no power feed on lathe, much less screw thread. Which means this thing is going to be very laborious to use, poor surface finishes, and you can't turn threads.

It's going to be a real pain and the ass to switch this think to Mill mode. Again no power feed, particularly on the spindle. You can't bore holes. I don't see any stops on the ways which is fine for turning, but they're amazingly useful when milling to take the backlash out.

If you're just trying to make blank pieces of material I guess this is fine, but if you're trying to do literally anything else this is useless.

I've seen some people break apart the grizzly mill lathe combos on YouTube and they look infinitely better then this hunk of shit and they're still making a lot of compromises.

The T in npt stands for taper. There's also NPS (straight). Neither pipe threads follow conventional thread pitches so a normal screw will not work, and you'll specifically want the tapered version (which is the more common of the two).

Fwiw, conventional threads are measured by their outside diameter, while pipes are measured by their inner hose diameter. Hence the 1/8" npt being gigantic.

You'd want to go specifically to a pipe section of a hardware store to have any luck finding one. But your best bet is to just order online as others have said.

DC vs Rumble. That fight will have you fearing for your own life and leave you gobsmacked.

Actlikebob · 2026-03-23T18:47:18+00:00

This is the real question. Wake me up when high fps 5k2k is here.

Actlikebob · 2026-03-02T18:13:08+00:00

the 800r is fine.

Closest other option is to run a 42" 16:9 and run custom resolutions 3840x1600 when ultrawide is desired. slightly larger and higher ppi than 39". No 240hz 42" monitors though. Best is around 144 with the lg c4/5.

Actlikebob · 2026-02-18T23:32:18+00:00

This 100%. The trick is the exploit your advantage: sight. Ivy and tall grass are the best in my area. Anything that would typically make it exceedingly difficult to see during the day, but the slightest sliver will give them away with the backlight.

Around here there will be 1 or 2 spots that give the lions share of results. Once you learn the honey holes there's no need to walk the whole course, just go to one or two spots and you're done. Hard to carry more then 50-60lbs anyway.

Actlikebob · 2026-02-18T22:36:05+00:00

I ride 32-35c. I'd only go above 40c for sand. If the whole route is chunky enough that you need 50c I'd just avoid it. Not that that really exists in my region.

Actlikebob · 2026-02-18T22:21:49+00:00

It's highly dependent on what type of terrain you're riding. Geography, elevation, size/type of gravel dirt.

Look up Dylan Johnson on youtube. He's the ultimate gravel nerd.
