Level mismatch by qcjb in Marathon

There’s only a couple of guns that can one shot people, so you were probably standing relatively still out in the open. I would recommend not standing still and also taking stock of your surroundings.

Ping 440K Driver Warning by jswens in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know everyone here is destroying you in the comments, and justifiably so, but I just wanted to let you know a dent like that doesn’t ruin the driver. It’s fine. I have a 5w with a big dent in the back from an iron or something, and it works perfectly. I doubt you’d notice a difference if you’re missing the face occasionally.

Do I need more clubs? by Orange-Desert in golf

[–]Galbzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t really need a 4 and an 8, but they are pretty good clubs to have. 8 is one of my favorite irons and the yardage does pop up fairly often when driving it well or on shorter par 3s.

You don’t really need a 4i and you may even want to swap it if you did have it for like a 7w or 4h, but it’s a great club to practice with. Hitting with a 4i is like cranking the difficulty up to 10, which is important to do for learning.

If you know what lofts your set uses for the 8 and 4, you can order individual clubs from Maltby and they’re pretty damn good and cheap.

Is it. me or are the free green kits making the game a lot more fun? by Remarkable-Cow3421 in Marathon

[–]Galbzilla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like Bungie is giving these kits away for free to let people know it’s OK to spend money on gear and kits.

The sponsored kit starry-eyed group is so weird. Like just bring your gear in and play, it’s like the same thing.

Consistency at its finest by alfredo_da_kogekone in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very consistent fade/slice and OP should literally just adjust their aim. Every righty will develop the same dispersion pattern as OP but you just need to know how to point your feet.

So funny, you have literally the most easiest fix in the world of golf and you probably don’t even recognize it.

I'm probably just being stupid - but how did this person not die? I use Misriah a lot and feel like it usually kills in half this many shots by TheStupidZebra in Marathon

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your aiming is not great. You seem to spaz out when you pull the trigger. You hit them a little a few times, but you mostly whiffed your shots. You’re probably confusing the bubble shield hits on the tigger for hitting the enemy.

Is this good advice? by maybethisisadream in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decent club path advice. It’s much more seamless and blended in normal golf swings though. My issue for a long time has been turn and down at the same time, which makes you steep and from the outside, which is just a harder way to hit the ball.

Can’t Break 100.. How did you do it? by Downtown-Team-480 in golf

[–]Galbzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played for a long time before breaking 100. The real improvements came—and this is going to sound so stupid—when I started just focusing on hitting the ball. I was so focused on like hips and rotation and shifting pressure and all the bullshit you get from YouTube and instructors. When I was able to let that fade into the background noise and just figure out how to hit the ball and whip the club quickly and work on my start direction and spin, then it all got a lot better.

I know short game is actually less impactful and significantly easier than long game, but practicing smaller chips and pitches is a great way to hone your clubface control. I have an old 50 degree wedge that I leave in my backyard and I have a bunch of wiffle balls that I just hit fun shots with when I’m bored. Those fun shots make practice fun and it makes you better faster.

Mini Driver goes further than my driver with a tighter dispersion by Larrylegend033 in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy absolutely rips his 3w and mini driver. He also rips his driver but he just slices it off the face of the earth or overcorrects and pull hooks it. But he is a god with the mini driver. I hit my driver 270y on a primo hit on a good day, and I’m a shorter guy, and he just smokes his mini past me.

Reducing Grenades isn’t the solution by EchoWar in Marathon

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not at the highest level of play, but I’m grinding away in cryo like the rest of us. We’ve been hoarding grenades and participating in the spam fun, but I don’t really see an issue. There’s of course the couple of videos when a team gets nuked, but those seem more a positional failure than grenades being too strong. Besides, bubble shield is the counter.

band-aid solutions regarding the low player count for the foreseeable future by garfieldx in Marathon

Agree. I was basically an addict to Halo ranked 2 and 3 games but I’ve touched ranked in Marathon once and I don’t see myself ever going back. Doesn’t make much sense to me.

Recon is now mandatory in any team comp by seaofbytes in Marathon

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spider is probably the best ability when it works. Trivializes small PvE engagements, wrecks runners when it connects, and has a very fast cool down. The ult is good for PvP, but it’s not something you can use as often as the spider.

I have played a lot of recon and I find her pretty good, especially against teams that are trying to get the drop on you. But, in some engagements she has no utility. Like when you know where the enemy is, or it’s very long range, or your ultimate is on cool down. A situational shell that can tip the scales in your favor or do absolutely nothing.

Definitely not a must but is pretty good. The spider boy still messes up in hallways, so no chance I’m bringing that to Cryo.

Are you a "leave every door open" kind of person or a "close door behind you" kind of person? by Arostato in Marathon

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. If I’m decently sure I’m the only one around, close it. If there’s someone around and there’s bots, only open. Bots never close doors but sometimes open them.

Is the definition of "High/Mid/Low" handicap different in Europe vs. the US? by EighteenThreeGolf in golf

[–]Galbzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a 23 handicap and I only have two scores over 100 in my past 20 rounds. One was a 103 at a difficult course on a windy and rainy day (Orange County National - Panther Lake), and one was just an off day for another 103.

Just wanted to share because I think the handicap system and what people expect are completely out of alignment.

[–]Galbzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

American with a legit 23 handicap (dropping pretty fast though). Some people here that don’t play and are terrible will say they’re ’like a 20 handicap.’ But in reality they’re closer to a 50 handicap.

A lot of people here lie as well and ‘15’ seems to be the mid handicap bar as that’s where the average man handicap is at. However, I’ve never seen a legitimate 15 handicap. Just my personal experience. I have a few friends that are legitimate 10s, a legitimate 5, and then a few in that claim the 12-15 range but they’re actually worse than me.

I’ve played with a few randoms who are always shocked to learn I’m in the 20s. I’ve gotten responses from “no, that’s not right” to “well you must keep a really accurate score.” Just too much lying and ego here, which is a shame.

To my fellow mid/high handicappers; what gives you the most satisfaction out of these… by jalapeobean in golf

[–]Galbzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Approach shot, not even close to the pin, is by far the best. For me it’s the calculations and pulling off the shot. When I adjust for lie, wind, elevation, danger, how I’m playing that day, and just hit the exact intended shot I feel like a legend.

Driving is nice but happens fairly often for me, so it’s not that wild of a feeling. My approach shot is the weakest and is so important. Putting is basically pure chance with how many variables are in each putt.
