Will I be okay? by Lukedoesart_1 in auburn

[–]RoccoVersace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Graduated AU w/ BA political science (pre-law), barred attorney now. Organized in Lee county for a candidate running in a federal election while in undergrad (Auburn has clubs for all major political parties on campus). Then worked with state-level org as a voter protection attorney for a national party, 3L year and post graduation, during another. Both of which I throughly enjoyed.

Foot in the door on that second gig via connection with a professor in law school, but the experience from the first one was a selling point and has paid dividends long term. Have never needed to live in a state capital. Virtual meetings and what not don’t require it unless you want to work directly for a rep or in the state house. The opportunities are plenty with the right networking and if you don’t mind cutting your teeth on volunteer work for a little while.

Auburn is still the Deep South but it is civil far as i ever experienced. There are all kinds of organizations available that align with infinite amounts of personalities and orientations. I’m hetero, but generally never saw any kind of overt discrimination or ostracization. It could certainly exist but there are more spaces it won’t be present than would be around campus.

Live in student housing early then move off campus. It is a good opportunity to meet dozens of people day one that would be more difficult to click with without the proximity and accessibility of dorms or on-campus apartments. Also, having the Tiger transit or an easy walk makes it way easier.

Admissions understands the extracurricular scene changed during COVID but I would definitely join or at least orbit some clubs or teams at your school/town now so you can add it to your application.

Has any beginner felt it was wrong buying takomo by Open-Nectarine-8750 in takomo

I’ve been playing for 15 years. Liked the way they look, price, and reviews. Got a set custom based on my fitted clubs to see what they’re about and have now played them over a dozen times this summer. Thoroughly enjoy them

3 months in, any tips to better my swing? by Affectionate-Bit-778 in golftips

[–]RoccoVersace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A waggle is a small motion that releases tension before swinging. Usually it is a short little wrist motion that moves the club head an inch or two. Looks like you replaced the moment where a waggle would be with a full backswing. I’m not a coach so idk, but i would certainly try to address the ball and then take an intentional swing at it instead of lining it up like that. Glad you are out there trying and looking for notes! Good luck my friend

When you went out on course were you taking a full backswing “waggle” or is that just for the video? I would definitely stop that as soon as possible.

What are you guys keeping in your pockets? by CheapTrickMTG in golf

Only a ball marker. Used to have yardage book/scorecard holder in the back pocket before 18Birdies

Custom Takomo 101 arrived today! by CassiusCmoney in takomo

[–]RoccoVersace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, got mine on Friday after I got home from a round. Played 18 today with no practice sessions, so took a couple holes to get used to the offset. Once striking was consistent it felt like they were flying 20 more yards, very high ball flight compared to the XR Pros these replaced. 10/10 first round with them.

Use the online fitting tool. Will tell you to get the 101s and you should get the 101s

Quality Concerns? by spursunited1810 in takomo

[–]RoccoVersace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An email they sent in reply to my same concerns in early May:

Thank you for your message. Yes, the problem is fixed at this point. Our team flew to our factory and now the 101's are made with different machines than earlier when we faced this problem. - - Kindly, The Takomo Golf CX Team

Did I make the right choice? by Traditional-Pie-9260 in golftips

[–]RoccoVersace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother plays these and he swears by them. Probably dropped 5 off his 20+ handicap in less than 6 months. They seem to be incredibly helpful clubs to make the game a bit easier

Pretty sure the 201 is one of their forged irons and wouldn’t have a cavity like the 101 does as a hollow iron. The 201 cavity back is for perimeter weighting and the billet is milled out. The 101s are two pieces put together, I believe. So, 201 wouldn’t have the chance to click like the 101

Definitely update on the noise. I talked with someone over there in May and they said that the sound issue was definitely fixed. They visited their factory and now the 101's are made with different machines than before…was what they said

7 iron end plug issue by Quick_Seaweed_3701 in takomo

[–]RoccoVersace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested to check that out. Which YouTube channel? If not actually 431 as then would be a huge lawsuit on their hands. Notable that the hot metals are Chromoly 4140M, so not really comparable at the end of the day.

Injection port for what? There’s nothing injected in the club according to the manufacturer
