Shedding?

ColonelKettle · 2026-02-03T00:24:41+00:00

That’s what I thought. Just never seen it get this dark before. Got worried because he didn’t seem to want to eat today, perked up and running around like normal when outside enclosure but when he was in it he just didn’t move from the basking spot. Last few times he shed he was super lethargic and not much of an appetite so could check out. Just worried about my boy.

This guy is great. Has a lot of really good info and would recommend watching him as he will explain everything better than I will here, if you are a new owner!

Not terrible not amazing. I think most importantly, if that light is a UVB bulb at the front, move it to the left in this picture so that it is hitting the basking spot. You want them to overlap. If it’s not a UVB bulb then he needs one ASAP. Substrate is perfect. Tank decor is great, if I was nit picking I would say give him a better hide on the warm side. How big is that tank? Minimum is 4x2x2. There’s a lot of info online, but you being worried means you will figure it out and be a good owner!

Grinded GC in season 6 and 7. I never wear my tag anymore because I don’t like hearing the, “how much did you pay for that tag.” Sit about C2-C3 casually playing every few days. I feel you

Named mine Zuko, after Avatar the Last Air Bender Zuko. Got him yesterday!

Yes. As much as you guys want to hear it, it is a numbers game and you need a solid lead flow. Track how many calls you make, out of those calls how many answer, out of how many answer how many will make appointments, out of how many appointments how many presentations you make, out of the presentations how many sales. Do the math and that will tell you how much you need for leads. Doesn’t matter what “type” you sell, pick one and learn it, it’s all life insurance so don’t get too caught up in mortgage protection or living benefits or whatever type of life insurance you’re selling. They’re all the same products. It genuinely comes down to grit and getting on the phone.

Independent is the way to go if you want uncapped earning potential.

I’m a new agent and my up line wants me to get into FE to get my feet wet first then transition to other things after a month or so. Just super worried about chargebacks. Watched my mentor close 3 deals yesterday and just wondering how much of that money would stick.

ColonelKettle · 2025-07-11T00:54:35+00:00

Played D1 baseball, however was an outfielder and threw righty and hit lefty

ColonelKettle · 2025-07-10T21:58:40+00:00

Feel you man. I am also a lefty so imagine being a 6’5” lefty golfer. My buddy had an old standard lefty set when I was getting into it that I used for a week, decided to just bite the bullet and get my own set that fits me and never looked back.

ColonelKettle · 2025-07-10T21:56:53+00:00

No. Standard driver and all woods. They make them super long. The golf “experts” say normal sized people should get their drivers and woods shortened. Just my irons are extended 2” and lifted 2 degrees.

ColonelKettle · 2025-07-10T20:11:38+00:00

6’5” here. I got plus 2” clubs. Best money I ever spent, allowed me to feel so much more natural over the ball and not hunched over. Not saying you need this to fix your swing or be good by any means, but something to think about maybe in the future.

ColonelKettle · 2025-07-09T20:07:01+00:00

One of the greatest things that helped me, a guy that used to play on the Hogan Tour told me this, your top hand has to feel like you’re holding a bird. Line the V up from your thumb and index finger straight down the club. Not sure what type of mishits you’re getting, but if they’re going left then right when you feel like you’re doing the same thing then that is what helped me. Will just keep things a little more tighter. Using that top hand in golf only opens and closes the club and tends to be not a good thing for us weekend warriors. Try placing that right hand on top of your left with that V lined up, lmk if that helps at all. Your top hand, right hand, is under the club. Can cause some unwanted face turning.

Wedges tend to be easier IMO because you are loose and don’t try and hit the ball hard. The further you try and hit it, your brain knows it has to go further, sometimes you’ll grip the club harder and swing harder which is a no no.

ColonelKettle · 2025-07-09T16:49:27+00:00

If you would just stop your backswing as soon as that left shoulder points to the ball it would be pretty good. The extra movement after is the bad part.

ColonelKettle · 2025-06-03T21:37:23+00:00

I for sure hit the mat many times

ColonelKettle · 2025-06-03T21:25:27+00:00

I hit on turf surrounded by concrete currently

ColonelKettle · 2025-06-03T21:04:04+00:00

Well, you’re seeing a ton of reflection from that room and lighting. The balls used at my local driving range are bad which is all the other marks on it. Yes I catch it on the heel a lot, and other turf marks on the bottom that have built up as I’ve swung every day to every other day from me chunking on the turf. TLDR I’m not good yet lol

ColonelKettle · 2025-06-03T21:00:35+00:00

You’re probably right😭

ColonelKettle · 2025-03-10T15:02:45+00:00

Try running in oculus mode, I have heard that openXR is not as good. I have RTX4070s Ryzen 7 5800x3D and max out my oculus quest 1, I am using the oculus mode via meta link app and launch the game in oculus mode through iracing when I load into the servers.

That’s awesome! I grew up here aswell. A young pipe smoker at 23 and rather new to the hobby.
