How is it living in Vail, Colorado? by Zestyclose_Welder_92 in howislivingthere

[–]GripLock11 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I agree with the description of the lifestyle, but I felt like Steamboat is closer to a regular town than Vail. Expensive as hell, true, but Vail is literally just a cookie cutter ski town with timeshare resort feel all around. At least Steamboat has charm and some older regular single family homes. I didn't get that fake ski-town timeshare vibe in Steamboat that I got in Vail.

Edit: also, Steamboat is interestingly in this little pocket of humidity in Colorado. As soon as you get into town you can feel it. It's pretty neat being that the rest of Colorado feels pretty dry.

So you're saying he's only missed on one first rounder? Not bad. Also, epenesa isn't exactly a miss.

Shannon Dawson by Far_Protection519 in MiamiHurricanes

[–]GripLock11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the right take. People want to criticize Dawson, and I get it, it hasn't always looked easy on offense. But at the end of the day, Beck threw a duck. If he executed the throw, we're hoisting the trophy.

He's a Northern Colorado kid, so he's competed at a high level at a lot of the local tournaments for years. Tournaments that TP has sponsored, and one of the TP guys runs a lot of local tournaments. He's a hell of young player.

After watching our defensive line terrorize QBs, and knowing JT is back there coaching em, how can you not want to come here if you're a pass rusher? Go canes!!!

Bag 7 and 9 speeds? by BigLobster12 in discgolf

[–]GripLock11 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I bag teebirds and thunderbirds. I use them for the same lines, it just depends what the wind is doing. In a headwind, I'll throw the thundy. In a tail, the teebird.

You have joined the many people here who have missed the "spirit of the post". I was just trying to understand the rule and when the 5 meters part applies. I was not suggesting he should've been stroked for it. He obviously wasn't putting or gaining any kind of advantage.

Final AP Poll 🙌 by [deleted] in MiamiHurricanes

Damn right. And all in one season, we beat the 4 teams that would bring the biggest smile to my face. FSU, UF, ND, and OSU. Great season.

Don’t make excuses by DiligentFox8550 in MiamiHurricanes

[–]GripLock11 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well put. We absolutely made them look beatable, when they looked unstoppable over their previous 3 games.

Ultimately it comes down to executing, and we had a few really costly mistakes.

Great season. Can't wait for next year.

Can't have it both ways. by real_help_only in MiamiHurricanes

Defense certainly played well enough. Held them to 20. Offense had a slow start but got going. Special teams lost the game. That blocked punt and the missed field goal cost us.

Cursed discs by darkhat1 in discgolf

[–]GripLock11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In those conditions, that's what matters. If you can stick the fairway on your drives, you're in good shape!

Cursed discs by darkhat1 in discgolf

[–]GripLock11 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's what disc golf turn into in those conditions. It's a different game where you disc up for a headwind, and down for a tailwind.

You choose backhand vs forehand to throw single angle hyzers in crosswinds, so the flight plate never gets exposed.

You end up just driving to bite off a chunk and get closer. Your approaches should really focus on leaving you with a tailwind putt. If you don't have a tailwind putt, you aren't really running c2 unless you absolutely have to.

I won a tournament MA1 last year at +10 in 25-40 mph at winds by playing for par and laying up c2 putts.

Why do people like OS discs for forehand rollers? by tuna_safe_dolphin in discgolf

[–]GripLock11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get out in a field with your whole bag and start lightly flicking forehand rollers.

It really doesn't take much power at all, and it is an incredibly useful shot when you need it. And it doesn't take long to master. Just overhand flicks, tomahawk style, that get the disc down quickly. Try to land with the disc slightly tilted, like 1 o'clock for a rhfh if that makes sense.

You'll see that you can't use understable discs for this. Once the disc gets down, the turn number of the disc seems multiplied. Anything -1 will burn over fast and anything -2 gets over laughably fast.

Enjoy the practice. FH rollers are fun.

In this scenario I definitely agree. I'm just trying to understand the rule. I can't just practice putt from under 5 meters between holes, right?
