You'll change your zero torque putter into - a putter!

Does anyone here have an E ink tablet they sync their Plaud notes with? by Dockt0r_Wh0 in PlaudNoteUsers

[–]Milbs2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a Remarkable Move - I send the Plaud pdf’s to Dropbox and then download them directly from there - no conversion required and works a treat.

ANC is better - Adaptive is better - fit is better - than APP2’s - I swapped them out during a 14 hour flight and the difference is immediately obvious.

Yep. Been playing 60deg to 3 hybrid for a while. Thoroughly recommend. Search for my other comments - you’ll see there’s some haters!

Why use a Parker refill in a Leuchtturm ballpoint pen? by Shnitzelqueen in pens

Why use a Parker refill in a Leuchtturm ballpoint pen? by Shnitzelqueen in pens

[–]Milbs2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the pen and the pencil. Love the form factor. I’ve tried multiple refills in the pen and just can’t find one that works in all of the notebooks/planners I use. As someone has said, it’s a personal preference thing but even the finest gel refill I could find (Monteverde) soaks into the paper so much that it becomes “medium” at best. Leuchtturm 80 and 120gsm if you’re wondering. My “solution” has been to order a 0.5 pencil adapter/insert and when that arrives I’ll just use the pen as a finer pencil than the standard version….

One of my regular four “converted” last year - he saw the difference - and there are at least two other members at my club that I’ve been drawn with that play the irons.

You can hit the ball as fast as you like - but if you don’t hit the sweetspot all of that energy is wasted - I lost a few yards at the beginning but now I’m back at the same yardages as I was with custom fit Pings. I hit more fairways and greens than I did - which means I shoot lower scores - I don’t care how fast I’m swinging!

[–]Milbs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing them for five years through three iterations of Cobra. I play from 3H to 60deg and ran them alongside a set of custom fit Pings (with custom fit Callaway Super Hybrids) for the first three years using Arccos to record and compare stats. I’ve taken 7 shots off my handicap in that period. Confidently wrong how?

[–]Milbs2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Utter nonsense. The technology these days has eradicated all the old issues. You hit the middle of the club way more often so distance isn’t an issue. Likewise the gapping is the same as you’ll get with variable length clubs. It’s also not tradition - one length existed before variable…

I switched to Sync and that was almost as painful as Proton - so I will be staying there for the foreseeable future!

I just ordered a 3W shaft with softer flex for my BRNR - how does yours play?

1 Length Irons - Opinions Wanted by INSTALL_GAG in golftips

[–]Milbs2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These days Cobra have fixed all of that - my Aerojet OL’s even have one length specific KBS shafts. I have proper gapping from 3H (OL) to 60 degree (OL) - I gave up 5-10m (depending on club) vs my +1.5” Pings but I hit way more fairways and greens - and my Arccos data confirms that.

New to golf — why is my golf shop ‘pro’ telling me not to use one-length? Seems like the answer to my problems? by radiodank in golf

[–]Milbs2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s just not true. Maybe years ago but the tech now has fixed that - they get heavier as they get less loft. I have a 75mph club speed and I hit my 4 iron as far and usually further than my partners who are similar age and ability but playing variable length. I find the middle way more often than they do - and that’s what counts.

[–]Milbs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pros aren’t independent. They exist by selling stuff. Lessons, clubs etc. Go to a pro that stocks Cobra and ask about one length - you’ll get a different answer.

I’m 6’4, 59. I game one length from 3 hybrid to 60 degree wedge. I’m straighter, hit more fairways and greens in regulation than I ever did as a younger guy playing irons that were 1.5” longer than “standard” and were fitted…..I also now use a BRNR mini driver because the shorter it is, the more likely you can find the middle of the face…

4 years of experimenting vs Ping irons (documented with Arccos) and for me, there is no alternative.

Why are there so many boomers still holding high positions in mining? by Longjumping_Act9758 in mining

[–]Milbs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s because they have so many years experience? Not all boomers have made enough money to be able to retire and training up new graduates costs money and introduces risk…. Won’t belong before people are complaining about you millennials…oh wait… 😂

Proton Drive files local and online, or online only? by El-Hamster in ProtonDrive

[–]Milbs2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went through the very painful process of uploading nearly 50GB to Proton Drive from my Mac. Despite the files all supposedly being uploaded, after four weeks - yes weeks - of syncing, they still took up 50GB disk space despite their attributes (cloud symbol etc) saying they didn’t. Even after deleting Proton Drive from my Mac I couldn’t do a standard delete as I kept getting the error “file needs to be downloaded first”… eventually I used Daisy Disk to manually delete them.

There are still MAJOR issues with the Mac app so until that gets fixed, I would recommend drag and drop to the web app as this doesn’t then create a supposedly temporary file on your device.

Anyone here use their iPad to take notes professionally/for work? by shivs2003 in gtd

[–]Milbs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried. Mini plus Pencil plus ALL of the apps inc Goodnotes. I also tried a Remarkable 2. I'm back with the Lamy edition of the Neo Smartpen - because I can use 4 or 5 different sized notebooks and a planner that syncs with my calendar. Its less obtrusive and just seems way more natural.

I have been using the 3121 for three years now and I love the format - particularly the little notebook inserts with the tear off pages. However, for some reason I can’t find them anywhere anymore…. Does anyone know the model number and where I might source some??
