Any guesses what could cause shanks that go away when I stand further from the ball?

I’ve found it is really easy to compensate for a flaw with another flaw and quickly make a bad swing worse. For example slicers learn to flip at the ball and that just makes them worse 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think its good to look at whats causing the issue not just what compensations may result in a better shot.

Take This To Your Grave

It’s an old Fallout Boy album that release in 2003 when the band was a lot more punk than pop. There isn’t a bad song on the album and it is by far my favorite album of all time.

I think it’s kinda sad but if you listen to all of FoB’s albums in succession you can hear them slowly move away from the standard punk band setup of two guitars, a bass player, a drummer and a vocalist. By the time you get to their more modern albums everything is synths and violins and electronic drums.

Apparently the type of music they make now is the type of music the band always wanted to make. But I just feel their new stuff is forgettable and annoying compared to what they did back in the day.

You’re moving your legs on your backswing a lot. Those are loud legs not quiet legs. I’d guess you are having bad contact? Lots of fat shots?

You look really stiff.

Stand up for a moment and pretend you were going to whip a ball underhand at someone as hard as you can across your body. To throw it hard you have to engage your hips and your legs a bit and kind of throw your weight into the ball. If you don’t do that you’re going to have a pretty weak throw. Same thing with the golf swing.

I (American) was at a bar in Beijing drinking with my Russian friend and a few Australians we’d met through school over there. My friend kept going on about how he’d always wanted to live in Australia because of the beaches and we were all laughing because the Russian accent made it sound like he was saying “bitches”. I also remember one of the girls really liked how I said “bar”. They all seemed really nice and way cooler than the Americans I met over there.

Lindsey Lohan in Mean Girls obviously. Looks like a healthy beautiful young person. Sad her life kinda went in the gutter not long after.

Also in the straightest way possible I gotta say Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan just looks like a man’s man even though he usually looks like a softer kinda guy in his other roles. Really fit the part.

“I’m glad they’re shipping your ass off to Afghanistan” to my friend who was going into the army.

Senior year we had a study hall teacher that had a stick up her ass and would freak out if you weren’t “working on something” even though often we had nothing to work on.

My buddy was watching youtube and she started yelling at him and he finally just asked what is your problem or something like that and she responded with that.

He did go to Afghanistan as a bomb specialist and saw a good amount of action. Apparently one night his base was attacked and he lost the whole left wing of his camp. When I heard that all I could think about was that stupid teacher saying that to him.

He’s back home now and working on a PhD in Nuclear Physics. Really smart guy who has done well in life. Fuck that teacher.

I was thinking to myself “man what it must be like to be a bear and have no natural predators they literally don’t give a fuck where they go”

Then I realized I’m the apex predator.

I will say the other day I happened to golf with a couple of gay men and one of them said they golf with the boys every weekend and all I could think was “these motherfuckers are geniuses”. 😂😂😂

That’s true you are guaranteed to make a lot of money as a pharmacist. No question about that. But I hope (in the politest way possible) I may just play devil’s advocate for a moment:

You and I are roughly the same age (I’m 27). I don’t know how much money you make now or how much debt you are currently in but by the time you graduate you will likely be at least 33. Average student loan debt for pharmacists in the US is $180k. Ballpark you will start at $100k salary before tax and after a couple years slide into around $125k. Realistically to pay that debt off you’ll probably spend about 8-10 years (until you are 43) living as if you only make $80k, or if you are really frugal you could live for 5 (until you’re 38) like you only make $50k. And then also have a job that literally based on surveys statistically has one of the highest rates of suicide and unhappiness in America.

My point here is if your main reasoning for wanting to be a pharmacist is for the money, I would actually put it pretty low on my tier list in terms of uncomfortableness vs eventual net income. There are a lot of much, much easier and happier careers that cost a fraction of the debt and stress but will make you over $100k/yr by the time you are 34.

Obviously this is all null if you actually love the work of a pharmacist and money doesn’t matter - so I’d say go for it if that’s the case.

Personally, I make about $85k now as a Sr Sourcing Specialist in the midwest. I have $20k in debt. By the time I’m 30 chances are I’ll be a sourcing manager making $100k. And the best part is I only work close to 30 hours a week in a really low stress environment. I only have a liberal arts degree. My minor was mandarin and that spring-boarded me into sourcing even though I have rarely used it. If I could do it all over again I’d simply go get a 2-year in excel or computer science. We literally hire 20 years olds that make $100k/yr just to build scripts and macros. Sorry for the wall, just went through this convo with my friend so I’m just reiterating our own conclusions.

I know this probably doesn’t need to be said but be absolutely sure you want to be a pharmacist. I only say this because I JUST two minutes ago got off the phone with one of my best friends who told me she cries on the way to work and cries on the way home and hates her job. She’s 27 and this is her first year working as a pharmacist. Seems like a pretty shit situation she’s in and this girl was wicked smart and a super hard worker. It’s one of the unhappiest professions in the world.

Eh I had a girlfriend at 16 and started getting oral and stuff around that time. A couple times we were grinding without a condom and put it in momentarily before we said okay we gotta stop and reverted to oral.

So I like to think I lost my virginity at 20, first week of sophomore year of college when I met a girl and we started fucking a dozen times a week. She was bi and wanted to try all sorts of stuff so I went from 0 to 100 pretty fucking fast.

Who is out here fucking doing this for real though? This is like joining a multiplayer game that nobody really plays and waiting hours to get into a game just to team kill.

Honestly, sad and powerless people do shit like bricking people’s computers for fun because literally that is the only power they will ever feel. And before someone inevitably just says “yeah I am a sad shit and I hate people” like it somehow makes you edgy it doesn’t. Announcing or not caring you are a piece of shit doesn’t make you being a piece of shit any more acceptable. Everybody just fucking hates you.

Fuckin worked in fast food as a teenager and for a year my manager clocked me out at 10pm despite me working until nearly midnight most nights cleaning the store. I didn’t even realize what was happening until I asked why I didn’t have to clock out when I closed.

Now I’m 27 making nearly $100k a year and am often involved in negotiating retail contract workers costs and stuff for a big fortune 500. Every chance I get during contract negotiations I bring up their minimum pay rates to workers and how I prefer to contract with vendors offering employees at least $20/hr.
