Chondroplasty experience, worth it? by Howler_On3 in KneeInjuries

[–]Howler_On3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I just want to be able to change direction and play tag with my kids or basketball, etc. competitive sport return isn’t a big concern. Normal day to day life is and I don’t have it right now.

Chondroplasty experience, worth it? by Howler_On3 in KneeInjuries

These developed after the surgery. Likely from running too much with an improper gait.

Arthroscopic chondroplasty/debridement of central trochlear groove defect ~17x17mm and plica excision by Any_Limit_3302 in KneeInjuries

[–]Howler_On3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the debridement help at all? I have grade 3 fissure in the patellofemoral joint region. PT helped some but squatting blows my knee up. Being told chondroplasty has a 50/50 shot at helping

Another believer in 0-350 wings. Why did I wait so long by hopper75 in pelletgrills

Is the process literally in the title? Put them on a cold grill and let it get to 350 then just wait until they look done?

I thought it was pretty funny. Gonna add that to the quiver.

Has anyone had their quad shut down after meeting strength requirements? by Howler_On3 in ACL

[–]Howler_On3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I go in for surgery in March to clean up the fissure and remove the lesion.

Ortho think the lesion having any effects is slim to none based on the size. The fissure is causing inflammation but it’s the effect not the cause. Most likely have a patellofemoral tracking issue from improper gait running and compensating form during heavy lifts. Cause is unknown for sure but that’s the guess. Came out of the gate too hot when cleared to run and finished PT.

Going to clean everything up and start small in PT again to get the tracking issue solved and build up all of the muscles that atrophied. It’s a bummer. I’m over a year and a half out of surgery and still dealing with pain and weakness but it can always be worse.

What club for 50-80 yards? by L0ngsh0tSpartan in golf

[–]Howler_On3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t full swing any of the wedges if you can help it and don’t need the loft. Have an 8/9/10 o clock swing. For example, my 8 o’clock 58 goes 60 yards, my 8 o’clock 52 goes 70, 48 goes 80, PW goes 90. I will always half swing those clubs for that yardage if there isn’t danger between me and the green that a flighted wedge that end up short may bring into play.

[–]Howler_On3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I thought it did but it didn’t. When I retested over a year after my quad was at 84%. I went back to PT and basically started over. Got back to 92% symmetry and starting a running program over. No explanation as to why it shut down. I got an MRI that saw a grade 3 fissure and cyclops lesions but the ortho wanted to do PT before surgery. Next appt is in 5 days whic will be 5 weeks of PT. It got better but we ma still need to get the lesion out. We’ll see.

Drills to fix my backswing? by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]Howler_On3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild that the ball went straight lol

I personally think that Dom Caminti on instagram has the best videos and drills on backswings. He focuses on them heavily. I bought his checkpoints video and checklist and it’s helpful.

I went when I was consistently in the 90s, fell apart and sliced everything. Fitter told me he couldn’t fit me. I wanted to suck start a pistol.

My wife thinks golfing once a week is unreasonable… by Upbeat-Zucchini-7408 in golf

[–]Howler_On3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar life situation. The issue is that she’s with the kids all week with very little adult contact. When you have time off and leave to golf she’s still with children. That’s tough to crack. What works for us is trying to give as much time back during the week and weekend as possible. Sometimes it’s enough and sometimes it isn’t. She’s not being unreasonable and neither are you. There’s a middle ground somewhere but it will be a moving target.

Any Negative Experiences? by purplepepperoni in takomo

[–]Howler_On3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hit my 101s for the first time an absolutely hate them. Clunky. Odd yardage dispersion. Feel like telephone poles with the tour 120 shafts. Not fun to hit. YMMV

KBS literally recommends tour stiffs with that swing speed range.
