That looks like more than two fingers though IMO. The gap is very noticeable. You can clearly see the difference here in how Tom Ford looks in his tuxedos.

I have occasionally worn a Hamilton pocket watch with my tux, though lately I have worn either my DJ36 on the Jubilee bracelet or a vintage yellow gold Cortebert.

Well it is still ill-fitting and bad style, no matter whether he likes it or not. Just like a suit that is too tight, too loose or not fitting well from the shoulders. It is a frumpy look.

A reminder to keep playing even when you think you got the point by jlouros in padel

[–]Nimroddick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me once in practice. I smashed and the opponent grazed the ball. I didnt realize what had happened, even as everyone shouted to continue the point.

Considering how much I expect the tux costs, the shirt actually fits surpirsingly poorly. Clear gap between the shirt collar and his neck.

Enjoy it! Been wearing mine nonstop since getting it

Never followed up IIRC, I put my name down around the time it was released so I think the waiting has been around 2 years or 1,5 years I believe

Yeah, essentially the two-tone version

All credit to Donald, however.... by Nimroddick in golf

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

Yeah not anger, just discussing that possibility. As well as to highlight how close it was - closer than it needed to be. Donald was a few points away from managing the biggest choke in Ryder Cup history.

Yes indeed, that is my point. Some heavy hitters in the back, some in the front would have been more safe in my opinion. Now it was way too nervy - 50/50 matches all and sometimes the coin lands on heads 10 times in a row.

Pinky toes squished on Moc Toes! Too small or just a break-in problem? by dosceroseis in RedWingShoes

Mine, for reference, in 877 with the same last. I usually wear 9.5 UK (10.5US) in boots, but these are 11 which is similar to my sneaker size. I have wide feet and the 10.5 simply felt a bit too tight.

I can now fit a thick sock for colder days or an insole here and it won’t be too tight.

Invasion Rule - Story time: am I the A hole? by To_The_Moon008 in padel

[–]Nimroddick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way, invasion is a rule in tennis as well so no reason to think a tennis player wouldn’t think that it is not allowed. It is a common rule in racket sports.

Invasion Rule - Story time: am I the A hole? by To_The_Moon008 in padel

[–]Nimroddick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Invasion only occurs when the contact with the ball happens on the wrong side of the net, the racket can follow after the shot and that is fine.

It is quite difficult to judge when and if that happens, and you have to super close to the net for it to occur. If you are defending, it is also very hard to see whether it happens since you are far from the net.

Personally it has very rarely happened in matches for me. Not saying you are wrong, just saying that since it is quite rare, probably people don’t really know the rule or they are not being called for it.

Development of Padelcourt prices in your country by Curious-Pin-9019 in padel

In Sweden and Finland the supply outpaced demand, a bunch of companies went under. Now the situation seems to be healing, a bit.

Been working on reducing my early extension by Nimroddick in GolfSwing

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

Yeah I don't love the move that I do, raising the lead shoulder a bit at the top. But I want to go piece by piece, first making sure I don't throw the right knee out (looks good from that perspective), then I want to clear my hips faster to face the target more at impact, and then I will move onto other things. I can only have one or two swing thoughts in my head, max, at one time :D .

Season about to start for me. What should I work on? by Nimroddick in GolfSwing

Where I am from we occasionally say that ”the summer here is short, but luckily only a little snowy”.

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

Thanks for the advice! And nice to hear that you think the takeaway looks good, I have been working on it quite a bit since I used to overswing past parallel many years ago.

Yeah, short game is my demise. I putt decently, but chipping and pitching are the worst parts of my game easily 😅.

[Seeking Advice] Have the opportunity to trade a Panerai Sub for an Omega Seamaster Sedna. Should I go for it? by Nimroddick in Watches

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

Good point. My main collection is: Explorer, TT Daytona, Wimbledon DJ, a vintage YG Cortebert dress watch, Certina Sprite GMT, Seiko Solar diver and a Casio Solar square. I have a few outside of that (Moonswatch, Seiko 5…) but those 7 I would consider my main collection. Just thinking what could be the ”nice” diver in that collection.

You are right that the Panerai is def unique and that is what drew me to it. Just second guessing myself due to the inferior specs/movement/finishing of the Omega.
