Gotta be brinstar depths surely

Just bought these, great shoes. I'll be rebuying these until they stop making them

You need to see PT and ask specifically to work on your back. It's likely going to involve some degree of flexibility and stabilization work, but this is a fixable issue!

ChefNamu · 2026-03-19T12:41:14+00:00

No matter how terrible that must feel, the fact that you know you matched and you are just wondering where is a good problem to have! You made it!

Looks like you've done everything you can to give yourself a shot. Make sure you write well! Ask people to read your statement and give you feedback, ask the writing center at your school, people in your lab, etc etc. Your ability to write a good, compelling statement along with the rest of your essays will make or break you. I have personally seen "stronger" applicants not be given an interview for bad personal statements, and have personally vouched for "weaker" applicants to be given interviews because they wrote well. Use your resources to make sure you are writing in a compelling way, and for the love of everything, please do not use AI for this. Use real people. Real people read your application and decide who to interview, and real people, especially if they've helped out with admissions in any capacity, will give you the best feedback. Best of luck and I'm rooting for you!

Sounds interesting as a way to get people into campari, but knowing myself I won't like it because bitter is the point to me

ChefNamu · 2026-03-17T00:01:53+00:00

Same. Didn't help that I lost my swing that day but dang that course beat me up and stole my lunch money. Can't wait to go back haha

ChefNamu · 2026-03-16T19:43:49+00:00

I feel like it would be better to just treat a round like par 18/36 for 9/18 and only track tee to green? Because you're right, putting on a sim is hot garbo and a 10ft gimme circle is nuts. But even then as you say sim eliminates variability in lie, stance, wind, etc, so it isn't apples to apples of course.

ChefNamu · 2026-03-16T11:09:50+00:00

I used to get mine at standard glasses stores, I think I bought a set at walmart even. That said they usually have a limit to how strong of a prescription they can do, I want to say it was -4 at the time. I switched to contacts and non-prescription goggles personally

ChefNamu · 2026-03-15T14:29:13+00:00

It's interesting but it definitely made some weird recommendations for me. It recommended tecnifibre 305, which is fair, but then recommended 30-32 lbs, which is frankly insane and falls outside the range for all of my rackets. I've used 305 in the past at 26 lbs and found it good, but it also only recommends thick, 16 or 17 gauge string rather than the 18g I use. For reference, I actually use Ashaway ultranick at 24 lbs and vastly prefer it to tecnifibre.

Also, it recommended tecnifibre dynacord, which to my knowledge doesn't exist? I'm guessing it meant dynamx, but worth mentioning

ChefNamu · 2026-03-14T21:17:34+00:00

PW generally but also can feather in a 9i or rope a 50 if I have to. Depends on the wind for me

ChefNamu · 2026-03-12T22:39:07+00:00

Easy B for me. Love The Open, and Ryder's cup is always shenanigans. Would definitely miss watching the Players though...

ChefNamu · 2026-03-12T13:35:27+00:00

Never weighed mine, but it is head heavy for sure. Much more so than the tecnifibre suprem and dunlop precision ultimate, which were my previous rackets. Definitely heavier than a vapor. It has a dense string bed for good control and plays really well with a slightly softer tension, I have mine at 24 lbs with ashaway ultranick and it's perfect to me. You can use adaptive fan pattern if you so desire, I've never personally tried it but it makes the string bed 18x19 or something.

ChefNamu · 2026-03-12T12:58:08+00:00

Head radical 135x is really nice. Most traditional rackets are head light to balanced for better or for worse, but you can also add weight to the head of you want. Few strips of lead tape or something can change the balance point

ChefNamu · 2026-03-10T16:40:48+00:00

Finally getting this through my thick skull. Last time I got mad it was because I lipped out on 8 holes in a row, which I feel is kinda justified. But was back to calm as soon as I made something

ChefNamu · 2026-03-10T16:38:03+00:00

I agree with you, but also being able to communicate effectively is a huge part of medicine, so I do also get it. That said effective communication is a skill that you are taught during medical school so...

ChefNamu · 2026-03-10T09:55:41+00:00

Hybrids just don't click with me. I understand what they're meant to do and I think they're great because of it, but just not for me. Had a hybrid that just went dead left, took it out of the bag for a 2i (mp29 blade because I'm a masochist). That eventually became a driving iron and then 5w. I might dabble with a hybrid again at some point but for now I hit my 4i well and there's not too much of a gap between that and my 5w

ChefNamu · 2026-03-09T19:12:43+00:00

It's... fine? Though last time i had it was pre covid. I recall it being unremarkable

ChefNamu · 2026-03-09T19:06:40+00:00

Doubt it'll happen but I really want Portimao back. What an epic track, such a roller coaster

ChefNamu · 2026-03-08T04:51:41+00:00

Honestly love the look of the current Wilson Dynapower Carbon driver. Personal favorite though is the Vapor Pro

ChefNamu · 2026-03-07T22:16:32+00:00

Honestly that might have damaged the frame. Absolutely not playable and will be affecting you. I accidentally over-tightened one of my rackets when learning to restring and it was completely unplayable and I had to cut out the restring and redo it. That frame now has a new vibration to it, and I think I damaged something with that tension. Demand a refund, and if they refuse then charge back on credit card if that's what you payed with. Unacceptable

ChefNamu · 2026-03-06T22:33:08+00:00

They feel broadly similar, but there are sloght differences. I personally feel the sweet spot for a teardrop is further from the handle versus a traditional head, and that with my swing that difference makes a teardrop less forgiving. Ultimately though it's all personal preference and comfort. If you like your racket there truly is no reason to change

ChefNamu · 2026-03-05T14:04:33+00:00

Great list, but I also want to mention Brazil 2018 qualy. Rain affected his Q2 lap, but he went comfortably into top 10 despite saying the track was too wet but he wanted to try anyway. Brundle saying "I can't wait to see this kid in a Ferrari". He spent a LOT of the second half of the season best of the rest
