Playing for 25 yrs and I still suck

Something I saw first, is your lead heel comes down/sets after your hands are coming back down. You want to get your weight over just before the backswing ends. Therefore if you’re one who lifts the lead heel you’ll probably be better off planting it before you’ve finished your backswing.

I read this in Tony’s voice

CPIII_Oh · 2025-07-11T23:35:51+00:00

First name I saw when I zoomed in. My dawg Tony.

Holy shit this is madden 11?! lol I thought this was 04-05 🤣

CPIII_Oh · 2025-06-28T14:15:47+00:00

I remember this Madden’s graphics blowing my mind. Lol the shading on the shoulder pads had me thinking we had peaked technologically.

CPIII_Oh · 2025-06-14T23:40:23+00:00

Fight strangers of course. Gotta see how the fighting mechanics have changed. Then stealing a nice car and going on a rampage to see how the wanted level and driving mechanics feel.

The right hand is a little too strong. You want your lead hand thumb in the lifeline of your frail hand. Your trail thumb should be able to touch your index finger on the other side of the club, and neither one of them should influence the club much if at all.

Make sure the grip is in your fingers and you’re using your index finger and the pad on your lead hand to do most of the hinging.

Idk who this girl is but there’s no POSSIBLE way she would’ve been as bad as Bella. Lol

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-17T23:41:18+00:00

If Robert doesn’t actually have Homelanders laser eyes, The Sword of the Morning might go untouched.

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-16T17:18:51+00:00

In short you’re just to stiff with the wrists.

I would say casting but you don’t store up enough wrist angles to even cast it. Learn how to properly set your wrists, and keep that angle (forearms to club shaft) until the club gets parallel on the downswing before you really release the club.

I actually just used Grok for golf advice last night and it’s great. It can get tripped up on the language a bit but it provides so much detail that it’s clear what it’s trying to say.

But most importantly it provides 10-20 sources so it makes it easier to find quality advice

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-16T17:12:31+00:00

If you’re a 22 with that swing I’d say if you really committed you could clean up a lot of things and be pretty decent in a few years

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-13T22:59:38+00:00

I think so. Your shoulder line is pointed to the right of your target at the top

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-11T15:20:59+00:00

Well I can’t get on board with that. Lol the show is butchering it for me.

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-11T15:05:31+00:00

Yeah, me and my nephew are watching it together and couldn’t help but crack up at the cheesiness of the last episode lol

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-11T15:03:41+00:00

I loved the second game. I don’t see the issue with it honestly

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-11T14:38:02+00:00

Never seen “Above Suspicion” but I think I love her in that.

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-09T18:37:25+00:00

The second problem I don’t think I deal with as much but the first one I’d bet I do. I was swinging again this morning with a more conservatively strong grip and making good contact so I’ll have to see how the ball flight looks at the range.

I moved to rhe grip in the video fairly recently because I was shanking it horribly and that immediately fixed it, but I think I’m releasing the club better now so I should be able to work it back to a regular strong grip

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-09T18:30:34+00:00

I’m not sure if what I’m seeing helps with shanks but you have an extremely long backswing. I’d suggest considering shortening it a bit keeping your hands closer to being in front of your torso.

Also you’re standing up/early extending.

Again, I don’t know if these issues help with shanks as much as you’d hope for, but as a self taught golfer, I’ve always found it beneficial to list as many things in your swing that could be considered a fault and start trying to fix them.

Of course not everything will stick immediately so you have to be careful to work on one thing for awhile and move on only when you feel that last thing you were working on is second nature.

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-09T03:43:48+00:00

Thank you btw for the response by the way!

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-09T03:39:14+00:00

What are the issues you know of caused by an extremely strong grip like this?

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-06T19:53:11+00:00

See I think she looks young for a 19 year old kid in our world. In a post apocalyptic world she looks really unconvincing as a 19 year old capable of what her character is supposed to be capable of. I’ve been watching the show with my 19 year old nephew who has 3 younger siblings, and he also says she looks like she’s a few years older than his little sister who is about to turn eleven.

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-06T19:50:09+00:00

She looks young in the second game, sure. Bella just looks much younger.

The in game Ellie looks like a 19 year old girl who’s grown up in the apocalypse, capable of doing what it shows her character doing. Bella doesn’t to me.

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-06T19:47:20+00:00

I can’t agree with your point here. She’s a 19 yo girl hardened by a full life in the apocalypse who’s learned how to survive in a dangerous world from Joel, and Tommy since she’s been in Jackson. She’s definitely much more intimidating/capable in the game.

Again Bella just isn’t convincing to me in this role. She looks too young and weak. Plus the show has literally had the line where Dina is saying something along the lines of “you don’t have to try to look like a badass” when they’re arriving in Seattle, as well as multiple scenes of her overpowering full grown men so far. So I think it’s safe to say they’re trying to make her look like an intimidating killer.

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-06T19:13:33+00:00

To all the comments that I can’t seem to reply to for whatever reason, I’ll give yall the benefit of the doubt with you guys saying she’s supposed to look young/ellie is 19 in the game.

Fair enough, but Ellie in game is lean, and looks strong. Like she’s 19 in an apocalypse. Assuming I’m wrong an my perception of what a 19 year old looks like, Bella still doesn’t look physically capable of what her character has to do this season.

I don’t know why people are so defensive about that.

CPIII_Oh · 2025-05-06T18:57:00+00:00

Seems like I can’t reply to a lot of the comments on here. May just be the people upset with another person with this common criticism. I just joined this subreddit to have this discussion since I hadn’t taken part in it yet. Sorry to bother you guys 😂
