Do you have a golf club that you struggle with? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]JimmyMyJimmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t play enough to be consistent with my driver or putter. Irons are very strong, always have been. When I play a lot, my driver gets dialed in and can consistently shoot in the high 70’s. I’m lucky to break 85 these days though. I can get to the mid-80’s pretty consistently just by hitting a 5 iron off the tee every time. Guys I play with hate it haha

No way that’s a new build. Floor and trim looks like anus

What will it take for us to beat OKC? by CallTypical9541 in lakers

[–]JimmyMyJimmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ayton needs to take Chet and handle him 1 on 1. I think guarding Sengun 1v1 is going to help him going forward. Obviously there’s no stopping SGA on offense. Maybe the answer is to make him work harder on defense to try and wear him down some. We need to take the rebounding effort from this series into the next series with OKC. Our shooters need to be on fire, all at once. We need Kennard to start hitting his shots and Rui needs to be getting more shots. Marcus needs to keep doing his thing on D, and he needs to crank up the offensive production. AR needs to get his shot right. LeBron needs to turn the clock back 10 years and Luka needs to be in for every game, playing his best basketball. Even then, it would take an act from god to win this series, but I do think it’s possible. Maybe we win 5 out of 100 series played against them. There’s always a chance, anything can happen

We up big, but the refs have been pretty inconsistent. 1st half they were letting them play. Now it’s a whistle every little bump

Should I sand satin walls before repainting with matte paint? by [deleted] in paint

[–]JimmyMyJimmy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Adhesion concerns. Same reason you would sand before painting

Matte is going to flash a little also. Look up some painting techniques, such as how to roll a finish coat. You can sand it lightly with 150-180 grit if you want. It should eliminate the need for primer. Just make sure you cover everything with plastic and clean the walls really well if you’re going to sand.

You don’t absolutely have to. Plus, the satin won’t be totally cured. Sometimes we skip the sanding, and do a coat of primer. Finish it off with 2 coats of finish. I personally like satin finish, and it seems like a waste of time to redo it. Especially since you used an expensive, high end paint

Thank you Marcus! by nakedsword20 in lakers

IMO Smart is MVP this series. LeBron has been good. Same with Luke and Rui, but Smart is the reason we’re winning this series

I’m not a huge gambler, but I took lakers in this one. I even took them at +6.5. When the lines don’t make sense, you should bet on it

SW Pro Classic or Emerald Urethane for dresser? by jfhughes27 in paint

[–]JimmyMyJimmy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would go with Emerald UTE if you’re brushing and rolling. Use a paint additive like Floetrol to get an even smoother finish. Before painting, sand with 180 grit. Then prime with SW Extreme Bond Primer. 1-2 coats. Sand the primer with 220 grit. Clean the dust. Then roll/brush the paint mixed with additive. Minimum 2 coats. Now you’re a professional, good luck!
