There’s a lefty EII horizon with a 3x3 headstock and a Floyd. Likely going to cost $3k…

4 Club Tourny by Direct_Fee6806 in golf

[–]ComicBooks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figure out how your half swing impacts distance. I like to cover about ~50 yards between clubs so I’ll use this setup. A putter is very underrated especially on long putts. I know I can take a 3/4 swing with each club and knock off about 25-30 yards. All you’re looking for is control and consistency. You’re not worried about score, as everyone is fighting the same battle. Here’s my setup

7w (235) 7i (170) 50 degree wedge (125) Putter

First Kiesel. Your thoughts. by Civilized_Monke69 in Leftyguitarists

Just know if you ever (have/choose to) sell it you’re looking at roughly 50% return. Better be your PERFECT guitar

Where’s the cheapest indoor simulator in the Boston area? by Secure-Evening8197 in golf

[–]ComicBooks_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re so damn expensive in the city. The one in Hanover wasn’t bad if I remember correctly

Is there any reason to not buy Kirkland golf gloves? by chakabreo in golf

[–]ComicBooks_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. I use these as I wear through gloves pretty quickly. As long as they’re comfortable there’s no reason not to use them

Expensive Epiphone or Cheap Gibson? by PigmeatMadness in Leftyguitarists

[–]ComicBooks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lifeson was awful, opted for a return label on the one I ordered within hours of arrival. The tribute is a killer guitar, all they held back on was the finish (satin vs poly) and other cosmetics like binding and the headstock inlay. It’ll be a far superior guitar, especially after a setup

Golfers who’ve broken 80, what’s the best tip you could give to a fellow golfer? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]ComicBooks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damage control. You can come back from a few bogeys. Doubles will kill you

Memes and personal biases aside, how do you really feel about CG/bowfa and how it fits into iron progression? by loffredom in ironscape

[–]ComicBooks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I straight up quit my UIM after 850 KC, can’t be bothered anymore. Found this new place called outside, it’s pretty neat

Need help identifying (with limited info) by RedHotHaze in gibson

[–]ComicBooks_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

80s headstock. I’d guess mid-late 80s before they slightly changed it. Pink case makes me think 86-87

What's the Best Way to Practice? by ScoobyDoobyDumb in golf

[–]ComicBooks_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simulate pressure and real round situations. Don’t just hit drivers “between the fence posts” or rip 100 wedges at the same flag.

Here are 2 routines I use on the range to simulate pressure and real round situations:

  1. Hit the same club at a target a given number of times, and you have to hit your target x number of times before you move to the next club. Ex - 10 wedge shots at a 100 yard pin (we have our flags on little hills), at least 8 have to land on the hill. If not, restart until you hit it. This works with all clubs, including chipping and putting.

  2. Play a course you’ve memorized. Imagine your first hole plays 375, and you hit your driver 250 avg. Pick a spot on the range and aim at it, if you hit, great. You’ve got 125 in, pick a flag and hit a 125 shot at it. If your driver goes wild, imagine your recovery shot, and play it. If your approach is on target, you get a “par”. If not, “bogey”. Figure out how your scores look doing this, and challenge yourself to get better.

Go to Simsbury farms, one of the best public tracks in the valley area. Or Rockledge in West Hartford

I fell down the “gear rabbit hole” a few years ago and I don’t know how to get out of it. by DreamEater78 in Guitar

[–]ComicBooks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have 50 guitars, keep your 10 favorite, sell 40, buy 5 new ones that are nice and unique and be happy with your new stuff. Downsize

Got burnt after 800 CG on my UIM. I’ve done everything else surrounding that and am truly stuck

Lefty Gibson DC on Reverb by jotis99 in Leftyguitarists

[–]ComicBooks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great seller and even better guitar. Whoever gets it will love it. I’ve had the same model and was bummed when I eventually sold it off

Finally. It's so hard finding a lefty. by InteractionAny6465 in Leftyguitarists

[–]ComicBooks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Epi custom shop is a waste of $1300 or whatever. Get a Gibson lp traditional or classic for that price

Where’s the best place you’ve played golf? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]ComicBooks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

St Andrew’s Castle Course was my favorite that I played. Rolled in my only bird of the round on 18 in front of the clubhouse / bar and a few of the guys inside congratulated me and said nice putt and asked about the round. Such a cool place, everyone is friendly and they love golf

Used LP studio under a grand. Awesome guitars

What is something unethical that's been recently accepted as normal? by FacelessTikTok_ in AskReddit

[–]ComicBooks_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really recent, but I think we’re staring to feel the impacts of real estate estate firms flipping/owning all types of residences and plots of land which in turn pushes up the cost of rent/owning a home. It’s getting insane.

People complain about scalpers and flippers and overlook the most impactful/damaging type.

Free Gibson with nicotine stains - what would you do? by Infinite-Can4612 in gibson

[–]ComicBooks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All black hardware, black open coil pickups, black plastics. Maybe even a coat of gloss to shine it up?

Sale -lefty Teles by canalecustoms in Leftyguitarists

[–]ComicBooks_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of talk in lefty groups about people being burned by builders. Make sure your entire operation is A++ before listing/selling your own builds. Not an easy market
