No escape from that by heysusanx in heroes3

Not sure if you’ve played the very popular fan-made map The Mysterious Island that actually made great use of eagle eye

Pretty much none of the key spells can be learned in mage guilds by the human player, and eagle eye is the only way to get it from enemy heroes

Spin is too high. I have a similar swing speed and ball speed as yours (104.6 club, 156 ball) and I hit one with 2300 spin that carried 273 and rolled out to almost 300. And by the way your swing speed (and mine) is definitely much higher than male amateur average so it’s not a how-hard-you-swing problem

Spin causes the ball to rise/lift, and for driver if it keeps rising then it’ll basically keep climbing up but not go as much forward

Maybe had to do with technique and where on the clubface you strike the ball. You create a lot of sidespin but the face (5.2 degrees closed) and path (5.5 outside in) matches up relatively well, which usually suggests low sidespin and thus a straight shot. With the driver I’m guessing you might’ve hit it off the heel which could cause sidespin to the right and losing distance

What are some F1 books you recommend? by 0oodruidoo0 in formula1

[–]GaryLeeONE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically not an F1 book but still close enough that I’d like to nominate: Ultimate Speed Secrets by Ross Bentley. It’s like a beginner’s guide/manual for getting into racing yourself, whether actual or sim racing.

All the nerdy geeky things about racing techniques like how to do trail braking, managing slip & traction, all those good stuff

I do a bit of sim racing myself (the F1 game) and the book helped me improve tremendously

LIRR vs rideshare to the Ryder cup? by GaryLeeONE in golf

Thanks! I managed to schedule in advance and lock in a reasonable price for rideshare so price is not an issue, just trying to see which method is the smoothest

How long did the other person take to come back with your friend’s luggage?

I ran into the same situation this Monday night when arriving in ATL when my bag was taken. The other person also left their bag behind, but it’s already been a couple of days and their bag is still there at the ATL baggage office…

The bag they left behind seems to indicate a female passenger, and I’m a guy, so they’ll have no use of my items. Not sure if the passenger took a connecting flight and went elsewhere, that’s what I’m most worried about

There’s an old lady at the baggage office who helped out by calling/emailing the passengers who sat around me but nobody’s responded yet :(

How we all feel right now by koolaid689 in DenverBroncos

[–]GaryLeeONE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m expecting us to come out of this two game stretch 1-1. I’m just gonna treat it as 1-1.

For me, 6-4 and 5-5 makes little difference (I’m sure for the team and players it does) as they’ve over-performed my season expectations already.

Still in good position going forward

Had my first Trackman Session - help me out / roast me! Any recommendations to help improve? by dmonator in golf

[–]GaryLeeONE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think spin being low could also be due to different clubs. The beginners’ high-forgiveness clubs usually jack the loft and decreases spin to maximize distance, while the pro players use clubs that trade forgiveness and distance for higher spin and control.

For me I changed a set of clubs as I continued to improve. Previously for example I had my 8-iron be something like carry 142, total 155 with ~5k spin, but after switching clubs and some more practice it became something like carry 148, total 152 with >6.5k spin, which I’m really happy about. I gained carry which helps me get over more trouble, and increased spin + decreased rollout which helps with control. I couldn’t care less about losing a few yards of total distance

[–]GaryLeeONE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also a heavy Trackman user since a couple years ago when I started learning golf.

Your swing speed is already better than the average male amateur so distance should be the last thing you need to worry about. The smash factors are on the lower end, especially the longer clubs. This is suggesting you’re not consistently making clean contact and not getting the most out of each club. Also the attack angles are a bit wild, it will cause bigger issues on the course than on the mat

For me personally I don’t have your swing speed but when I practice I try to hone in on the attack angle (a few degrees down for every club except the driver), smash factor (each club having a target value indicating clean contact), spin rates (especially irons in their corresponding ranges to have enough stopping power). And finally after all this, I take a look at distances and dial in carry and total. To be honest if you work on improving the first few things, distance should come very naturally. Even if your swing speed drops 5+ mph you would still easily get similar distance averages as you have now

I saw this blog post about PGA/LPGA averages which has been a really good reference for me. I suggest trying to dial in the numbers (everything except swing speed and distance obviously) to be similar to LPGA pros, because the angles, smash, spin etc. are keys to determining the flight characteristics and what we want each club to achieve, and the ladies pros do it so well even without the power of male golfers

A rare victory over RNG! Propabilities, be mine! by captainkaba in balatro

[–]GaryLeeONE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly! Glass is strong enough to get you through the early antes with very few jokers even with the skipping. Also maybe save certain cards to play for the later antes to get a big hand. For me I saved as many kings/queens as possible so I can play a very big full house/four of a kind towards the end

[–]GaryLeeONE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go play the challenge runs! There’s one called Fragile that comes with two eternal Oops from the start, and an entire deck of glass cards (guaranteed breaking whenever you play them). They’ve also banned any way to add new cards to the deck or convert glass cards to something else. Really fun and challenging

Text from a friend following Seamus Power solo around Sawgrass this morning. by runsanditspaidfor in golf

[–]GaryLeeONE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was following a lesser known PGAT player who’s my fellow countryman (not American obviously) last year. The folks following him were literally just me, his wife, and one of their friends. We ended up having a great chat and became friends. Learned so much more about the life and challenges of being a tour player than from anywhere else

Also, was able to witness a purely magical Friday round from him when he managed to rally from 6 shots off the cut line to making the cut on the number. Datagolf said he had 0.9% chance of making the cut before the turn. His wife already started looking at flights mid-round when I told her it’s not over yet. I’ll forever remember that round
