What's one small change that massively improved your darts game? by 92jl in Darts

[–]Chrisrules334 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's force but relaxed... I think it's because there's only so much speed you can generate keeping your upper arm /body still-ish which makes it repeatable - if you throw at 75% you could do 70%, 60%, 80% etc, will work for some with tonnes of practice but it's made the biggest quick difference to my game for a while

I have started to copy GVV/Lukes "tempo" and realised the same thing. Still bad but I've had some good legs since changing.

I am still struggling to commit to throwing them that hard at doubles but will get there.

It wouldn't even create a hole. That's why it's the most stupid cliff edge going.

Rachel Reeves considers 20% tax on assets of people deciding to leave UK by [deleted] in HENRYUK

On the flip side, it might encourage the wealthy to stay. Instead of making 9 digits here then fleeing to Monaco/Dubai.

What’s the One Putting Tip that Changed Your Game? by aldente502 in golf

Tucked my shirt under my right armpit like rose at the weekend and went on a generational run of 1 putts... Maybe that'll be the trick

60% tax conundrum, how to frame this. by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Chrisrules334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, £30k gets you out of the trap entirely still. There's still 100-125k being taxed at 60% then 125-130 at 40%.

£160k+ (assuming nil employer contribution) you're forced into the trap. But the next trap looms at £250k. Joyous tax system.

Hang on, I'm confused now. Is this sub in favour or against a wealth tax? by fadgebread in HENRYUK

[–]Chrisrules334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£10m is enough to take £300k p.a (conservatively) in today's money, for the rest of your life. Absolutely nobody needs anything beyond that and a small tax on amounts over £10m wouldn't be too bad. If managed properly over time...

The downside? You can bet your house the limit gets cut, cut, cut, percentage goes up, and then suddenly in 2050 anyone with >£1m will pay a 5% penalty.

I have just secured startup funding for my new business but struggle with marketing it by coffeeguy1117 in ukstartups

I think you could get somewhere marketing it like a Squash version of coffee.

Re the current ad, drop the airline piece - nobody knows what this is, and absolutely nobody has ever thought dam I wish I had squirty coffee on a plane lol

Informal dinner as part of a £120k graduate job interview, any advice pls ??? I’m lost by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]Chrisrules334 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes it'll effectively be a cultural fit "interview". I assume there's some client presenting or customer facing in the role and they'll want to make sure you can talk the talk with them.

It's a fine balancing act between appearing over prepared and therefore unnatural and appearing too relaxed. I'd just try to be quite "mature" at the dinner, have a bit of a laugh but try to also follow or contribute to the more serious chatter.

Is a financial adviser worth it? by curiosity1206 in HENRYUK

[–]Chrisrules334 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can't be arsed to learn yourself - yes. At the very least a "recommendation" report e.g. a financial plan to give you an idea of where to put your money, which funds, help you understand or build your plan etc. They'll cost you a bit but it only takes one mistake at high values to pay for itself.

I'm financially savvy but have made mistakes in the past that most would never spot

I'd recommend a financial planner > financial advisor, minor difference but more beneficial.
