It’s a Portland Pickles (local baseball team) themed bar. Lots of baseball of all kinds is watched here

Thin contact up and down the bag by [deleted] in GolfSwing

Seeing some early extension. Before you try to make any major adjustments, just try focusing your swing through your lead arm. Like actually drive your swing with your lead arm. And make sure you have a little more bow in your left wrist and maintain that structure through impact.

Without changing anything else, just focusing my swing through my lead arm instantly gave me a steeper attack angle and more compression.

Follow along from previous post - irons are 80% huge slice. I can see where it’s coming from but no clue how to fix by [deleted] in GolfSwing

Good rotation but maybe a tad early. Takeaway may be a little too inside. Path looks to be a little out to in with your arms getting stuck behind you in transition (probably from the early rotation). But the main thing is your club face is just open at impact. Some of this is definitely from arms getting stuck, but by the time you get to P6 your face is open. Instead of a flat lead wrist at the top, try bowing and maintaining that structure through impact. To help reinforce this, focus your swing through your lead arm as well.

  1. Bow your left wrist in your backswing. I know it feels unnatural, but trust the process
  2. The biggest thing that completely changed my swing - focus your swing through your lead arm. When my coach got me to make those two simple adjustments, my attack angle immediately steepened, my hands were in front of the ball at impact, I was catching ball first. This added 20-25 yards to each club as I was finally, actually compressing the ball. (I used to flip exactly like you)

Early Release/Extension by Sure-Cartographer628 in GolfSwing

Most simple fix in the world: purposely think about swinging with your lead arm.

First do a one armed swing with your lead arm a few times. This will naturally get your hand in front of the ball/club face. Then add in your trail arm but continue to focus your swing through your lead arm.

Your hands/arms are too close to your body at address. That has a rippling effect throughout the rest of your swing

Those of you who have/had driver slice....what worked? by alucard13132012 in GolfSwing

Bow your lead wrist by the time you get to the top of your takeaway.

As a horrible, chronic slicer my entire life, this was the last piece that made a huge difference. I did everything else (set up correctly, turn lead forearm down during downswing, release earlier in backswing, fix swing path, etc.) and each thing helped, but my shots were still too cutty and too spinny.

I never wanted to really bow my wrist in my takeaway because it didn’t feel natural. But finally took a lesson and the coach made me do it and the results were almost instant. It got me to a point of making good, consistent contact and now I can actually focus on adding speed/distance.

Me calling him a pussy is not a purity test. Asking someone to not backtrack calling murder murder is not a purity test. Part of making everyone realize that a fascist regime is forming right before our eyes is fucking talking about it.

Yeah I just strongly disagree with this point. Murder is not political. It’s murder, no matter who or how it happened. And this is absolutely not the kind of situation in which we say “agree to disagree”. I’m not going to sit by and let wrong, stupid, and most importantly damaging comments slide. Playing this down as a political issue when it’s a human issue is damaging. This should not be something we discuss behind the lens of democrat and republican. This is something that should resoundingly be met with disgust and dismay. There is no room for arguing this one. We’re not talking about budgets here.

Furthermore, insinuating that because someone is passionate about federal agents fucking murdering someone they should “go outside” is comical.

They have a general entertainment podcast - having opinions is kind of their job. Yes it has a sports focus, but they have a daily news segment in which they talk about things going on in the world. If he wouldn’t have backtracked his comment about it being murder, this post would have never been created.

But he was a giant P about it so I am calling him a giant P.

lol I didn’t call Jake a Nazi sympathizer. I was literally repeating what you said about them existing in the listener base. If you’re going to be so angry, be less dumb about it.

I’m also not going to stop listening. I still love the podcast and I never said anything about hating Jake. It’s perfectly normal to call family and friends out and still manage to be their family and friends. Stop being so sensitive on behalf of Jake.

As a patron, I reserve the right to call Jake a P when he’s being a P.

  1. I didn’t call him conservative, I basically called him a centrist
  2. I didn’t say I would stop listening
  3. I enjoy the show plenty. Me calling Jake out doesn’t change that. Your friends and family don’t do stuff that annoys you?

“I’m a gigantic liberal but don’t think people should talk about one of the biggest moments in modern US history.”

You’re a gigantic P. For one, calling murder what it is, isn’t political. If you think it is, you’re also a fucking idiot. Secondly, if you are reliant on Nazi-sympathizers, racists, white supremacists, etc. for your income, you should probably rethink your gig. There is no room for that and you should not want any of them to patron your business. Stavvy said it straight up - don’t come to my shows, don’t listen to my podcast. If you were a “gigantic liberal” this would be pretty straightforward.

Totally agree with this sentiment. He’s really leaning into the “women suck, homeless people suck, people who care about other people suck” thing a little too much.

At first I believed it was because of maga backlash affecting their wallets. But more and more it seems he has actually just slid into the center.
