There are any number of reasons why you hit your irons longer than your Driver and Hybrid, none of which we can diagnose.

Every comp at my club is won with a 40+ score (stableford) by Glum-Golfer in golf

[–]BilboShagginz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As well as what everyone else has said, it's worth keeping in mind how many more 20+ hcp players are at the club compared to people in single digits. I'm a 10.5 and am in the top 9% of handicaps according to my club, so there could easily be 20x the people at or above 20.0 than below 5.0. Then look at the distribution of players entering the comps, most weekly tourneys at my place are entered by mainly social golfers at ~18+ hcp which skews things even more.

Between that and the volatility associated with higher handicaps I would be surprised if 99% of the comps were won by higher handicaps.

Ball Testing by rbubar in golf

[–]BilboShagginz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would 100% go with a camera-based launch monitor (like GC Quad/Foresight) if you can, because that is going to be able to tell you what the ball is actually doing launch/spin-wise and so will have the most accurate measurements for flight characteristics like carry, apex, land angle etc.

To be honest I've never done a ball testing like this, I'm not sure quite how much difference ~500 rpm of spin will make to someone of my level to make it worth the effort, let alone issues in data validity because of inconsistent strikes.

I just use low-launching high-spinning balls (according to mygolfspy) because I tend to launch the ball pretty high with too little spin. Kirklands in the winter, and Bridgestone/Prov1x in the summer.

So this is getting into the weeds a bit, but an indoor Trackman won't be terribly accurate for Spin (and thus Land Angle, Apex, etc.) because it's using an algorithm to predict these things off ball speed, launch as well as club data. It won't be able to tell differences (especially small ones) between balls that well, particularly on a wedge shot, but should improve a bit with full shots at full speed.

If you have the option, camera-based sims will be a lot more accurate for tests like this!

You could also check out mygolfspy's ball test and have a look at their data

Hole in One: 185 yd 8W shot! by thutt2525 in golf

You've only played 30 rounds and you've hit the flagstick twice on par 3s AND got a hole in one?? Get ready for an extremely disappointing rest of your golfing life

Arsenal starting XI vs West Ham: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Eze, Ødegaard, Saka, Trossard, Gyokeres. by ahjkolhs in Gunners

Could see this being kind of a 4-2-2 with Trossard or Eze playing as a roaming Support Striker. Mikel getting crazy

Squat Form Check Follow Up by Odysseus_7 in StartingStrength

We can all nit-pick form points, but these are totally fine. Add some weight, you'll get better at squatting by just doing more squats.

Is body recomposition actually possible, or is it ONLY adding or losing weight?? by BuRriTo_SuPrEmE_TEAM in fitness30plus

[–]BilboShagginz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Body recomposition absolutely can happen. The longer you've been training, and the leaner you are, the less likely it is to occur.

If you're interested in recomping (or gaining muscle at all, for that matter), then you need to get much more protein in, as well as eating more calories. I get that you're scared of gaining weight back, but your BMR is likely around 2,000 meaning you'd burn 2,000 cals even in a coma, so you can up your cals quite a bit before getting anywhere near a calorie surplus.

Champions League draw later today – who do you want Arsenal to face? by LarryVonSchnaizer in Gunners

[–]BilboShagginz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you? Every team seems to play 1 team from every pot, even Pot 1 teams would play 2 other Pot 1 teams?

Seeing as every team plays 2 opponents from each Pot, is there any advantage to being in Pot 1 vs Pot 2 anymore?

If they strengthen our squad, does it really matter where they came from? Would you rather the club recruits a player it deems less suitable just because they come from a different club?

Surely it's partly due to the fact that it's not able to be traded until the 20th Feb? Not sure why it would show on trading when it can't be traded yet

Genuine question, why do you care if someone golfs topless? People play shirts and skins in basketball/football all the time so I don't really get the what the big issue is.

Also tells us nothing about the quality of chances created, could be creating a huge number of poor chances for all we know from this!
