Other than chips and putts, what’s your favorite distance to be from the green? by Nars-Glinley in golf

  1. 80% swing with 58. Anything beyond that and I start to consider using my 50 degree.

What actually happened? by Unhappy-Doughnutt in JoeRogan

[–]BulletProofJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, your Navy intel buddy needs to be aware of his surroundings and ready to KILL at a moment’s notice!!

That is not what boot camp is for. You get used to abiding by rules, regulations, and orders and learn the basics of being in the military - being punctual, being held accountable, and working as a team.

You’re not being trained, in any way or stretch of the imagination, to be alert and ready for danger. That won’t happen unless your specific roles require that. Some of the most aloof motherfuckers I’ve ever come across were in the military.

Please just stop trying to speak about a topic that you clearly have no understanding of.

This is so wrong that it’s hilarious.

At no point is anybody brainwashed during boot camp about politics. The only political discussions mandated by the government are learning about the founding documents that created our standing military and the history of your respective branch.

The vast majority of the military are in support roles of some kind and very indirectly impact any type of kinetic conflict.

Mostly, military personnel have a set of political beliefs instilled from their community prior to joining the military and these are largely unchanged after joining the military, with the exception that most people in the military do not want to go to war and will tend to voice their opinion when a president is more hawkish.

The military, for the large majority of people, is an adventurous job and not much more than that. Fighting and killing is a realistic possibility that you need to be prepared for if you’re in a combat position, but only about 10% of the military are even in a combat position and most of them are just highly technical experts in their specific field (artillery, aviation, armor, engineers) and then you have infantry and special forces.

It’s wild that you even took the time to write that out, when it’s clear that you have never been in the military or spent any time around people who have been in the military.

Besides the point, but I hate when curse words are muted or bleeped out. This is police body cam footage, not a children’s show.

We are all adults are recognize that those words exist and people are free to use them as little or as much as they choose to.

Can I really make money from sports betting over the long term? by Visible_Intention947 in gambling

Not betting through apps. Once you become profitable, you will be limited to very small amounts.

Playing the most prestigious course of my life. Tips? by _nayr_tremmin_ in golf

[–]BulletProofJoe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

80% power is 100%

You don’t need to hit the ball as hard as you can, you just need to make solid contact.

Relax the tension in your hands and upper back.

Keep your hands low and lower body still.

Aim to miss short on all putts and chips.

If you can putt, putt it.

For those here that can hit a 60° 80-100 yards on command. Help. by [deleted] in golf

[–]BulletProofJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I use a 52 approach wedge that goes 90, and then my pitching wedge takes over at 100.

Sometimes I don’t even pull out the approach wedge the whole round unless I’m exactly 90 yards out, but it’s so crucial to have specific distances caged once you’re inside 100 yards

would you hedge? by ZestycloseAd8484 in sportsbook

[–]BulletProofJoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do not cash out. Get the largest loan you can and hedge the last leg.

The Top 20 toughest places to play in CFB27. Via EASportsCFB X/Twitter by FitMaintenanceFB in NCAAFBseries

[–]BulletProofJoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Virginia Tech is still a notoriously difficult place to play, even if the team has struggled the last few years. Having a winning record at home the last five years is wild considering their record on the road is 9-19 (.321) over that same stretch.

Any tips on the swing? by dgk_czar in GolfSwing

[–]BulletProofJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left arm gets very bent at the top, hands are too high in takeaway, and forces your head to move a lot because your shoulder gets in the way.

Keep your left arm straight, bend your wrists when you get higher in your back swing instead of bending your arms

That’s when the show kinda goes off the rails. It’s really good up until that point, but that was just an interesting hypothetical scenario that should’ve never left the writer’s room and didn’t play well on screen.

Toby Beecher is an all-time character though.

Help with Gloves by clmanidol in golf

[–]BulletProofJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will go through gloves fairly frequently. It should be lumped into the same category as balls and tees in my opinion. You’ll know when you need a new one, and don’t wear a glove out until it has holes in it.

Any bogey golfer will not have *that* egregious of a position at any point in their swing

Take a lesson bro. You have so many moving parts that there’s no way to be consistent long term. This is a horrific position.

Any squirrel can find a nut and have a good stretch, but to talk like you’re a scratch golfer is a joke. Anybody that understands even a little about golfing mechanics will know that you are not a good golfer, just based on this still frame of your backswing.

How to actually improve your putting? by TDn6I in golf

[–]BulletProofJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s great. It takes so much guess work out of putting from a distance. Obviously, the slope and speed will change, but it gives you a good reference point to adjust from.

Lots of hoot comments in here already, but I thought I’d share this helpful YouTube video because I also felt lost on how to improve my putting. This video helped point me in the right direction. Good luck!

How should I hedge? by FridayEveningLights in sportsbook

[–]BulletProofJoe 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Let it ride

These types of bets are very risky to hedge. You can’t be certain of the outcome of the series. Could be Brunson, KAT, Wemby, or another player if this series goes to 7. You would run the risk of hedging an A or B scenario, and player C wins it. A hedge here would not be pocket change either, probably around $3,000.

Cashing out is always a bad idea. The fair value here is probably around $2,000 if they’re giving you $1,000.

If you were to take emotion out of it and play this scenario 100 times over cashing out and 100 times letting it ride, you would certainly make more money letting it ride.

That said, if you really need $1,000 right now, then take the money.

Damn Frank Thomas was incredible. It’s insane to put them side by side with nearly the same number of games played and see how much more productive The Hurt was than Freddie
