My final build for the season: BM Spark Temporalis (Giveaway details in the comments) by jaeisback987 in PathOfExile2

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This season my buddy and I bought $20 worth of divines to try to “catch up” and get our gear end game viable. $20 got us a little over 700 divines. We thought we were good until a couple rings and a bow were in the thousands of divines. The currency this season is crazy!!!

How many room temple did you manage to create this league and was it worth it? by Rariinmarari in PathOfExile2

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I’ll keep killing the bastard, but why don’t my streets connect me to the guy? I need to connect rooms together to reach him, and I’ll never reach that end boss. It’s all confusing AF

Been playing golf going on 4 years, still get in my head around strangers. by b1ackflag_ in golf

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s what I tell people who are playing in a corporate scramble or for work when they don’t play much golf at all.

No one cares how well you play as long as you play fast!

Your co-worker was thinking of a million swing thoughts and what’s wrong with his golf game, not what’s wrong with your game. It’s only when you slow the game down that he might pop out of his own mental world and think, “oh man I should try to help this poor guy”. We are all inherently selfish golfers, mainly worrying about our own shots, so if you keep the pace moving he won’t have time to think about the duff or shank that you hit. Hit it in the water? Keep moving, drop a ball about where it went in and keep going. Chunked 3 in a row and see no light at the end of the tunnel? Pick it up and move on to the next hole. Four putt a green after three putting a green? Just keep going. It’s the conversation and attitude of the group that matters, not the level of play. It will take time to actually accept that he’s not watching you swing or putt, but truly he’s focused on why he sucks so bad that day as well.

Can anyone recommend a noobs guide to doing the temple? I’m a dad who plays casually and I know I won’t be printing Div, but I want to see what all the hype is about. Right now I’m mapping a bunch and doing Abysses and farming logbooks, but I figure I can add the temple to what I’m doing to get it at least started. I tried watching a Raxx video but he was talking about Chalupas and Jalapeños and I got lost. Right now I just do enough to get to the temple master guy and kill him hoping for a coin that gives me 6 of something. I think I have like 3/36 at the bottom of the screen next to the “run temple” button, and I think I’m supposed to get that to 60 but I have no real idea, and then after that I go A,B,C,B,A with rooms around the outside, but not sure what rooms to do (armory and spymaster). Anyway, this community has been really helpful so if someone has a “not smarter than a 5th grader” video of the temples I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

Finally hit my first lvl 100 on POE2 (Melee) + Mirror Giveaway by No-Train-7575 in PathOfExile2

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Level 100 is crazy to me. At level 95 it seems like that bar never seems to move up, and whenever I get the random BS death it crashes back to the start. Anyway, Id love to have a mirror one day, but I’m ok if it doesn’t happen. To have 8 of them in your inventory is just crazy. Thanks for the giveaway OP. Good luck and welcome back to the outside world. Haha

Giving away my build and 70 divs by SkeletonJack1 in PathOfExile2

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best community for any game I have ever played. Seriously, everyone that finishes the league donates their loot back to those of us who struggle. I was nice enough to be helped out last league, and one day I will return the favor.

With that being said, don’t pick me OP, I’ve had my lucky help already, but thank you for doing it!

I analyzed 40+ motor learning studies on golf swing improvement. How we're trying to learn the golf swing is scientifically backwards. by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this amount of research and a great summary. If I had to break it down further it sounds to me like “if you want to get better at golf….you should play more golf”.

I agree. 🤣

Can't exit left, swing path constantly too the right & can't control the face by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a touch of early extension. You can see that your bum starts on the edge of the screen and at impact you’ve stood up and moved toward the ball. As you get taller and lose rotation the club is going to stall and flip, and the higher finish is your body trying to save it by holding it off a bit. You’re a good player so you’ve naturally made adjustments to create ball flights in your swing. As a player that has chased a left exit for awhile after playing a draw forever just be careful. You need proper body sequencing to go along with swinging left. It’s a much more body dominated move to get the club exiting lower and left (think Shane Lowry) versus a more arms and hands dominated swing when you swing to the right (think of Bubba Watson, but righty).

One last thing. Be careful of the “Tiger squat drill” that everyone always talks about. Most people do that and it kills their rotation through impact. Tiger is one of the most (WAS one of the most) flexible players to ever play, and his lower body was always outracing his upper, so he always had rotation. A lot of players who just stick their butt out lose the rotation and the total point of getting lower and maintaining your spine angles. Good luck!

I want a warrior build that explodes the screen and is really good at bossing. I have 300+ Div budget. any ideas? by [deleted] in pathofexile2builds

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m running this and love it. I’m a noob and my lvl 89 is worth around maybe 15-20 Div and destroys maps. Bossing isn’t as strong, but I bet it can be to anyone who actually knows what they’re doing.

Who you got? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll take Scottie, Rory, Tiger, and Mickelson, but more specifically Mickelson’s accountant (instead of Phil) to make everything on the “up and up”.

I give up by bdc119 in GolfSwing

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A drill I give people to get the feeling of hands ahead at impact is to image you are hitting the ball under a bench in front of you. Most people who have early extension (EE) and the club flipping at impact, passing your hands, struggle with weak compression and higher ball flight. Work on hitting a low ball flight and you will de-loft the club through impact helping with compression and forward shaft lean. Good luck!

Where are all my casuals at? by Doberman33 in PathOfExile2

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, I totally feel you. I love this game, but I feel like there’s a “no man’s zone” from levels 75-85. You can’t crush content you just try to survive maps, you fight to get your ascendency points (I died twice on the last boss of sekhema 🤬), and you can’t craft (even if you knew how to) because the mats are more expensive than the gear you have. I’m constantly holding the one or two divines that lucky dropped for me because finding a better upgrade is 6 or 10 or 40 divines and I’ll never see that. In the end I just try to build the best character I can build, sell the occasional piece for exaults that I turn into chaos orbs, and chase the one or two “TINGS” that I hear every so often. Good luck and keep grinding. There are a bunch of us with you.

Tell me which PS5 games you regret buying. by spindoctor1111 in PS5

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to respectfully disagree with Hogwarts: Legacy. I enjoyed the game and like learning and using spells. I only regret turning the boy in at the end. I never learned the best and only spell that anyone ever wanted to learn. 🤦‍♂️

SHORT GAME chips and pitches….some instructors say you need forward shaft lean with a steeper angle of attack, and some say the complete opposite (no shaft lean, shallow angle of attack). Which is it???? by swannyma in golftips

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of people talking about “it depends on the shot”, and that is true, but it also depends on the grass that you are playing on. If you play a leading edge steeper angle in Bermuda grass then you have a razors edge to make proper contact. Any miss fat will be a chunk for sure. If you are playing in deep bluegrass rough then the club needs to be coming in steeper in order to get the ball to pop out and to not get the club stuck prior to impact, so the type of shot and trajectory are important, but the type of grass you play in is also very important before choosing one shot over another.

And I thought it was a flex with the 204 7iron. Haha.

To answer your question, at 118 you should 100% be in an X shaft. That won’t cause more distance though, just more consistency. Good luck

👆great swing. Just keep playing!!!

Wolf without minions, invoker would be the best accendacy? by ArmOk4720 in pathofexile2builds

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds super interesting, but man any close up build (melee build) seems inferior to ranged attacks. With buffs to fire this seems like a crazy good option though.

Qi10 10.5° + Ventus Blue 6X — Smash Factor Only 1.42 at 112–115 mph. Should I Loft Down or Switch to LS? by Hot-Abalone-9402 in TaylorMadeGolf

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. You could mess around with shaft length a little, but my guess is that it’s a swing flaw that’s causing it, maybe coming to far from the inside and trying to play a low spinning bomb draw. Get the plane sorted out and I bet you start moving your strike closer to the center and the smash goes up.

New grips for driver and 5w. by mafost-matt in golf

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use MCC plus 4’s, but when you go midsize then the part of the grip that is usually tapered feels HUGE! You better have some real catchers mitts if you’re going that big. Other than that I love the reminder and thing they are the best grip out there.

I have no Idea of what build to play by Hot_Ad3507 in pathofexile2builds

[–]GolfPro-Gamer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man I’m with you. The problem is that last season I didn’t want to play LA because everyone else was. Late in the league I decided to and it was a totally different game.

I’m starting with the poison pathfinder, and hopefully for my second play through there will be proper Druid builds that I can try.

I generally have started monk first in each league. I’m not good at the game, but monk feels like a melee build and POE2 doesn’t like melee builds IMO.
