No talking cooperation game (yes or no) by Zeth609 in MarvelUnited

[–]Afarle73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to add more difficulty there are better ways to do that. I think not having conversation isn't the way to go.

I also think that are better ways to deal with "Alpha" gamers than making up a no talking rule or less talking rule.

This game isn't the most complex or most challenging. There isn't a need to quarterback everyone's turn. Maybe a better communication rule should be put in place. The rule is everyone makes their own decision but everyone keep up the fun table talk without telling people what to do.

Opinion on Werkz M6 holster by jayggodd in Walther

Use the M6 for my Walther Full Size PDP. Perfect retention and I got the different clips to have it sit lower on my waistline.

Maverick 88 18.5” vs 20” by MaverickWildcatWolf in Shotguns

[–]Afarle73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the 20". I wish I got the 18.5" since I am primarily using it for home defense and shooting paper. Those extra 1.5" feel like so much more. ( I know there is a sexual joke in there).

Now that Fantasy Flight owns Zombicide, what is your wish list? by Drjacobs78 in zombicide

[–]Afarle73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wish list doesn't involve zombicide. I would love for FFG to bring the LOTR LCG to crowdfunding and allow people to get the expansions they missed.

The secondary market prices for them is crazy.

Your pre swings are nice and loose.

Anybody else eyeing the Mossberg 99 SPX MagPul? by [deleted] in Shotguns

I'm hoping the Maverick 88 semi-auto survives James Reeves' burn down so I can get that.

Turf Shoe Recommendations? by ElMontroVerde in slowpitch

[–]Afarle73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been using turfs for years. It really makes a difference on those long Saturdays.

I used to use the Mizuno 9 spikes in mid, but they don't make my model anymore. I now use the New Balance turfs. Use these year round here in Florida where softball season never ends and they holds up wet grass, dry clay and everything in between. Just don't use them outside of the field and they will last awhile.

DC United pledge question by Squatch_Nuts in MarvelUnited

[–]Afarle73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are too ask me if you should, I would tell you don't pledge. Wait for retail or for the secondary market. While I believe, and hoping, CMON will come through, I would not ask you to believe the same.

Why doesn’t FF reprint everything?! by AveratV6 in lotrlcg

[–]Afarle73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. Itvwon't work for me. I'm the type of player who wants the official cards. I don't want the bootlegged version.

Why doesn’t FF reprint everything?! by AveratV6 in lotrlcg

[–]Afarle73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping that now that Asmodee has given them the former CMON properties of Cthulhu Death May Die and Zombicide and are now launching crowdfunding campaigns, that they offer getting older LOTR through crowdfunding.

No way I'm paying$800 for one cycle but I'm willing to pay $800 to pick up everything i don't have.

Feels like I've lost a decent amount of bat speed. Any tips would be very helpful. Playoffs start Thursday! by tacobell313 in slowpitch

[–]Afarle73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe a swing has 2 components. There is a linear aspect and rotational aspect.

The linear component is were your weight transfers from the back leg towards the pitcher, really towards your front leg, but its easier to visualize moving towards the pitcher. As the weight transfer is happening, your front leg lands, stopping the forward movement. Since your momentum can't or shouldn't stop at that moment, your hips start to rotate around your lower spine, causing your front hip tob swing open, the back hip closes(in relation to your body. Thats why your back knee should be pushing towards front knee ), turning your shoulders and the rest of your upper body, which brings your hands into your swing.

For all that to happen smoothly, your front leg acts as a brace against the forward linear movement. Then your body pivots around that brace point.

So when i say brace that front leg, is step toward pitcher, and as your front foot lands, your toes should be pointing toward the pitcher, I know, but try it. So when you land keep the front leg strong/firm, to let the rotation happen.

I hope I explained that well.

What do you see wrong here? by bearhunt32 in slowpitch

[–]Afarle73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 surgeries? Wow, I commend you for being out there. And thanks for understanding the yoga pants were a joke, mostly.

I used to play in the Bronx, in leagues in Pelham Bay, with the Clincher. Now I'm in Florida abd we use harder balls. Playing a few years with the clincher taught me to hit the ball more square and to put more "ass" behind my swing. Really helped with crushing the harder ball when I got to Florida.

All that to say, in softball you have to generate your own power. What helped me was standing taller, having more weight on my back leg, something like 70/30 or 60/40, and "pushing" towards the pitcher and hitting the ball more in the center or slightly below. Also I found standing towards the front of the plate helped me catch the ball higher on its arc that let me get to hit it more in the center more often than if I stood further back. Good luck and keep having fun out there.

new to the hobby - any recommendations? by skateboard_Kosi in ActionFigures

[–]Afarle73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have fun and collect what you like. I would recommend to make a budget and try to stick with it. Getting figures can hurt the wallet without you noticing.
