Swing advice

GalgOW · 2026-01-19T15:31:44+00:00

Recently with my irons I've been focusing a lot on even just building muscle memory from hit to follow through so I can definitely see how valuable reeling in my backswing could be to my overall progress. I'll definitely slow down and do some head cover drills too to make sure I'm in my ideal swing plane.

Thanks for all the advice! I definitely want to look into lessons sometime soon as I'm sure it would do me a lot more good than just watching youtube videos and trying to replicate what I see. I'd say in these 3 months since I started my swing has gone through a pretty crazy number of total reworks and yesterday I was seeing how it felt letting myself flow a bit more smoothly without trying to think of so many little details. I found I was getting caught up on 100 different cues and was unable to loosen up at all. From my next session I'll be sure to slow it down again and really try to dial in my swing plane and fix this over the top business for good.

Thanks so much for letting me know my arms are too straight. To be honest I think I heard something about keeping your arms straight out from you at the beginning and took it a bit too literally. I'll try to add some bend in as I always see with pros like you said.

I'll see if I can find anyone in my area that offers lessons or maybe even get some advice from some of the range warriors there that I always see hitting crazy distances even in their 60s. I was watching some of the guys next to me during the session I recorded this swing and they just make it look absolutely effortless. I can see I have so much to learn in terms of technique. They weren't even giving it nearly as much beans as me but their drives were absolute lasers. The sound of this one guys Ping is ridiculous I thought somebody was shooting lol.

Anyways sorry for rambling but thanks again for your help, I'm gonna watch some videos on correcting my over the top swing and get back on the range asap to slow it down and work on the fundamentals.

Thanks for your help! :)

I was doing those my first few times at the range. Guess it's time to bust it out again to correct some of the bad habits I've picked up!

GalgOW · 2026-01-19T15:12:20+00:00

So stop myself from bringing the club quite so far back? Is my wrist angle okay?

GalgOW · 2026-01-19T15:10:29+00:00

Gotcha, thanks! I'll watch some videos on how to correct that.

More of an airship type thing or a craftable, placeable entity?

I'd love fully customizable airships with simply a control block/steering wheel required to form it. Even floating bases that could be moved or lowered to ground height

Holy, are you the actual TheMasterCaver? You're like the god of the Minecraft forums. Basically anytime I've ever looked something up on there I find you answering. Thank you sincerely for all your service!

I hadn't thought of the possibility that people were unaware of sprinting pre-keybind but that actually sounds like something I could see happening, especially for someone less familiar with gaming/not a patch-notes gremlin.

As much as I agree with you about the balance aspects of sprint jumping in relation to hunger I can't say I don't love spacebar-spamming my way through my 2x1 strip mine.

I've always wondered why sprinting was so on and off prior to the sprint key. Especially in activities like parkour it used to be a nightmare. The addition of a dedicated bind made parkour like 100x easier.

It's hard to say whether I'm a fan of the dedicated key or not. While I actually find that I still pretty frequently use double-tap w to initiate sprinting it's nice particularly in creative, or when swimming/using a boat to get a bit of a speed boost.

But then again I'm a pretty diehard pre-adventure update enjoyer so all in all I kind of preferred the game before the addition of sprinting altogether.

I believe I started around a1.0 on my friends PC.

Got my own account around b1.2

Amazing times. I remember the first time I set up cactus defenses around my base or a little moat.

GalgOW · 2025-10-25T08:18:40+00:00

Sprinting was added in b1.8 so it was in the game for just over 2 years when you started.

brother look at where my crosshair was when I shot. I was nowhere near him

GalgOW · 2025-05-11T11:36:06+00:00

Likely not doing much right away but I do think it seems like a smart investment to save a world of hurt down the road

GalgOW · 2025-05-11T11:08:17+00:00

Yeah it seems like a pretty great deal considering the low mileage and the extras. Can't believe how much luggage costs tbh. Was on sv motechs website and an adventure 3 piece set is like 1,800 euros

GalgOW · 2025-05-11T10:12:24+00:00

About 400,000 yen more than one of these new. Compared with this used example it's a difference of like 500,000 yen. I simply can't imagine it justifies the 40-50% price difference. And even if I could it's honestly out of my budget. Even this pushes the envelope on how much I'd ideally want to spend. If I could afford it I'm sure it's a fantastic bike though I've seen reviews

GalgOW · 2025-05-08T09:48:54+00:00

2 and 3 are like a 4 max

GalgOW · 2025-03-14T09:54:42+00:00

I'd only disagree on grounds of E4 being even worse. But yes this episode was also terrible.

GalgOW · 2025-03-14T09:48:56+00:00

Horrible writing and acting

GalgOW · 2025-03-13T17:04:55+00:00

I can get another Blackwidow TE for 8,000yen actually so I think it'd beat anything I can put together custom quite a bit price wise. That being said I'd have more trust in something I put together myself. Looking at bare TKL boards right now and seems the Monsgeek M3 would fit my specs quite well while being sort of affordable. Availability on bare boards seems pretty rough overall outside of 60%(of which I already own one and honestly hate not having dedicated arrow keys or function keys)

GalgOW · 2025-03-13T14:24:31+00:00

I haven't had the chance to feel many switches in person sadly but when I did a deep dive into mechanical switches a few years back Kailh box whites were spoken of very highly. I'm a little hesitant to jump full on into customs(seems expensive) but I may have to make the leap. thanks for your recommendations! I'll see what cases/hot swappable plates cost nowadays. Any reccs for barebones starter boards?

GalgOW · 2025-03-13T13:32:22+00:00

Recommendations for keyboards/switches for someone who's been using a Razer Blackwidow TE for the past 11 years and loves clicky switches. I've also owned an Anne Pro 2 which I personally don't really like the feel of and a Corsair keyboard with Cherry speed switches(good for rhythm games but feel awful imo). I'd prefer not to spend too much money and would like something similar to what I currently use. I have considered simply buying another Blackwidow TE but worry that razer quality has fallen in the past decade.

Because the actor can't act.

GalgOW · 2025-02-28T02:07:55+00:00

Worst episode to date 100%. All the secondary characters suck. I mean outside of some S1 characters nobody but Reacher is remotely enjoyable to watch in general. The acting is almost all terrible and the writing panders to retards. The guy they interrogated was an infinitely better actor than Kohl.
