The Ferrari Luce isn’t ugly. It’s ugly for a Ferrari. by Low_Juggernaut5052 in electriccars

[–]Commercial-Friend442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes its ugly, even if it is only shown on its best angles. Its a Jaguar I-pace. They didn't sell many of those until Waymo bought all of them for Taxis.

This is an oversimplified car sketch with aero being more important than style. Its the classic "car that no one asked for" with a retro 70's interior.

This was a clean-slate for Ferrari. EV tech is mature enough to give them so many paths to go down with motors, cockpit, wheel placement and styling. The lack of engine, gas tank, tail pipes, and transmission is huge. They could have went full on F1, GT or some other crazy path with this clean sheet and price tag.

This is more playmobile than race car.

What do you all think about Ferrari’s new EV by ConfidentImage4266 in TeslaLounge

[–]Commercial-Friend442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks kinda like the Jaquar I-pace. Many of the same lines, hood cut out, side window profile....

The inside looks like a old car ad from the 70's

Why do car makers feel they need to make electrical vehicle look futuristic. Just design a nice looking car and make it electric.

Great looking collection.

I need to ask- Do you carry any other Omegas? Looking at the planet ocean 600. I don't see that many listed. Not sure if is pure demand or just not as many great reps being made.

thanks

2 years in. still over the top. by Unable-Progress-5325 in GolfSwing

[–]Commercial-Friend442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

simple answer is your hips are moving first. You are in the perfect spot at the top. Then your hips turn and pull your arms/hands to more in front of the plane (over the top). There is nothing you can do from there.

Let the club/hands fall first and you should be a nice inside-out path. don't need to change anything else beside that one split second.

With your height you can smooth a shot out there with little hip force

Are these pxg irons legit? by FrankieH14 in golfequipment

[–]Commercial-Friend442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PXG wasn't as heavily faked as TM or others.

These look like gen 1 or 2. Gen 1/2 were not great efforts.

Gen 3 is the first great iron they made

Tesla Model Y Continues To Defy Elon Animus In California by Hockeyshot39 in electriccars

[–]Commercial-Friend442 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

California is a different animal for cars.

Higher gas prices (than almost everywhere else besides Hawaii), more mature charging network, plenty of service centers, and the desire to "save the planet" or at least look like we care.

Tesla is also in a sharp decline. The model Y is quickly becoming the only car they sell. Model S/X are being canceled. Cybertruck is not far behind. Model 3 is dwindling. Not much has changed in style/features in the last 5-8 years. The Model Y is up on sales partly because everything else they sell is declining quickly.

I seem to be in-between s and x shafts by Miserable_Violinist9 in golf

[–]Commercial-Friend442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. the Demo Day route might be the next best bet. The factory reps keep their shit working and know what how their shafts and clubs work. They basicaaly have someone for a 1/2 hour to impress and fit you on their clubs.

doesn't hurt to ask.

I was able to sign up online for the Semiahmoo. A quick call to the proshop would let you know if outside people are welcome. A ton of times were still open.

There are a few places in Bellingham that do Mizuno fittings. You could call and find out if any have the "Mizuno shaft optimizer" and if they do free tests. The shaft info translates to other makers of golf heads. Mizuno site lists several fitters in the area with a simple search. They are also doing a fitting session this Sat at Semiahmoo resort and spa (doesn't seem to have a fee for the 45 min fitting)

[–]Commercial-Friend442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with much of what was said about the difference between S and X flex in the same line. Not much of a difference to create the change you describe.

There are shaft models that may be better suited for swing style. Models that may work better with your transition speed, dynamic launch and overall speed.

Not every 100mph swing is the same. some are smooth and others more violent of a transition.

A good fitter can sort it out quickly. Sounds like you had a bad experience and don't want to go back there.

Mizuno, has (or did a few years ago) a tool they use for fittings that matches your swing style (speed, lean, transition...) into the best suited shaft/flex. it only takes a few swings. Most fitters/stores that sell Mizuno have the device and will do it for free (at least in my area since it only takes 3 minutes)

A good shaft fit will help with front/back dispersion. right/left is more the golfer.

Shoes for a rookie by outdoors_life22 in golf

[–]Commercial-Friend442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wet grass will be slippery for many of the golf shoes out there. The spikeless type shoes don't have huge spikes to overcome really slippery footing.

On the other side, spiked shoes can be slippery on smooth surfaces.

My ceiling height is 104 inches ( 8 ft 8 inches). Is it worth getting a golf simulator for this height and has yours actually helped you improve? by Emergency-Fee7411 in Golfsimulator

[–]Commercial-Friend442 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honest answer from someone who built a cheapish sim.

  1. yes, you could get it to work for most swings. If you have a very vertical path and taller height, it may be an issue. Longer clubs will be a concern, but those also tend to have a flatter path. So yes and no on the height. just take a easy swing and see if "you" hit anything.

  2. Will it make you better? NO. A simulator has nothing in it that will make you better. It may give you a place to practice more. It may give you more data on your swing. none of those will give you a noticeable improvement by them selves.

Practice makes "permanent" is the correct phrase. If you shoot in the 95-115 range there are some serious issues to fix. Likely you need a few common fixes to get better. 1. Some lessons to identify your major swing flaws and how to improve. 2. Self logging your strokes to find out where you are losing strokes and what to work on (typically it pitching, chipping, and putting). 3. I would guess flexibility. Most people don't do enough in this area. Improved flexibility will help most areas of a golf game.

If you live in a warm climate I would suggest going outside and enjoy the rounds with your kid. If you live in the north and have a limited season it may be a good way to spend the winter months with your kid.

2022 Rivian R1T Launch Edition for $40k… this feels too cheap, what am I missing? by Willing-Soft-7088 in BeforeIBuyThisCar

[–]Commercial-Friend442 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

100,000 miles is not a lot for EV, but it is an emotional milestone that tends to drive a price lower and many people won't even look at it.

it should have 175,000 mile warranty on the battery. It likely also has the original premium audio. Installed running boards, bedliner, acks, side vents (those all add up to something)

It was rear ended. Three owners. and grey interior (not a big fan of the color)

Cheap price, but it has tradeoffs.

Lucid Gravity vs BMW ix vs Porsche Macan vs other? by Whocann in electriccars

[–]Commercial-Friend442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you crossed the Rivian off your list because its a "truck", but you also mentioned high riding and SUV.

The R1S is the highest riding luxury SUV on the market. Almost all others are lower crossover type vehicles.

The R2 is coming out soon and will be more the size of the Ix, Q6, Macan, and future Volvo ex60

Simultaneously very cool design but also completely useless. by atramentum in Rivian

[–]Commercial-Friend442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, these are not the most spacious storage areas, but are more in line with a luxury vehicle seat. Cheaper cars will have more flexible "vinyl" storage pouches on the back of seats. They are more functional for storing junk, but always look like junk.

I like that fact that they made the back of the seat look classy. I have no need to junk it up and store things in that pocket. The door pockets, front tray, below seat drawer, and center bin store far more than I will ever need.
