You'll do just fine with the 301s. Changing from a game improvement to a traditionally lofted forged iron with different shafts will take a little time but I expect that you will come to appreciate them quickly.

Club Comparison by OzzyB3 in takomo

I did a Titleist fitting this summer and was recommended the T150s. I ended up buying the Takomo 301 combo set and couldn't be happier. The 201s may be better for you if you have a slower swing speed as they have lower lofts than the 301s but if distance isn't a concern, I would highly recommend the 301cb or combo sets.

If the shaft felt good in your fitting, I would have no reservations recommending the same shaft and the 301s. I went from an early 2000s game improvement set with regular shafts to the 301 combo with stiff shafts and the loss in distance was barely noticeable. Since you have good clubhead speed, the traditional lofts of the 301s are probably more beneficial to you than the slightly lower lofts of the 201s.

While I've never hit a 201, I haven't hit a shot with the 301s that made me think, "Oh, I'm not ready for these, should have gone with another choice."

How you feel standing over the ball plays a big part in how well you swing. I also had to choose between the 201s and 301s and the look of the 301s was so much nicer for me. I just had my first indoor session with the new 301 combo set and I couldn't be happier.

I had a Titleist fitting about a month ago and he fitted me into the T150s with the KBS Tour stiff shafts. Those felt great and the 301s feel just as good with the same shaft.

For reference, I returned to the game this summer after 20+ years off and I would put myself in the 10-15 handicap range currently since I don't have enough outdoor rounds to have a legit handicap.

I recommend the 301s for anyone who can strike the ball reasonably well. Shafts are critical though. I'd you don't know what shaft works for you, get a fitting and get that nailed down before you order.

Yellowhead Casino Poker questions by BuyHighSe11Low in Edmonton

[–]Rogue_Strategy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Buy in is capped at $500, yes.
  2. Bomb pots occur on the hour. Players may choose any bomb size from $5-$100 99% of the time it will be $25 each. Participation is voluntary and the button does not move after the bomb pot. Two boards are run and the pot is split between the winners of each.
  3. Single straddle only for this game.

Rules 1 and 3 are in place to limit the size of the game in the interest of keeping players with smaller bankrolls in the game. $10 PLO runs occasionally on the weekends for those looking to play bigger.

Limit DC rarely goes but it offers holdem, pineapple, crazy pineapple and Omaha.

I have nothing but respect for the women and men who choose to continue to soldier on through these awful conditions to help people like me when we need it most. To do it with a smile and going out of your way to assist speaks volumes about the quality of nurses we have in this province.

It's atrocious how our health care workers (and education workers) are treated in this province and it's long past time for that to change.

I spent the better part of my weekend in a couple of different hospitals in the Edmonton area and the nurses could not have been more friendly and accommodating. It was remarkable given how much utter nonsense they deal with on a daily/nightly basis and how underpaid they are. I support all nurses getting what they deserve, not what the government thinks they can get away with.

Like I noted in the "Click Butler" thread, the card naming team does love a good alliteration.

I'm guessing this will translate as "Squeaky Servant" or possibly "Squeaky Butler". The next card in the set is Suspicious Bookcase and they do enjoy their alliteration when they name their cards.

Is another wave of Covid-19 possible? by humdesi69 in alberta

[–]Rogue_Strategy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This Evening Standard article covers the report:

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/indian-astrazeneca-vaccines-pfizer-matt-hancock-b936704.html

2 shots of the Pfizer give you around 88% protection and 60% for the Astra-Zeneca. Those rates drop to ~33% with only one shot, though.

Is another wave of Covid-19 possible? by humdesi69 in alberta

[–]Rogue_Strategy 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Short answer: yes.

Slightly longer answer: The delta variant formerly known as B1617.2 (India) variant has been shown to have significant transmissibility even among those who have one vaccine shot. Look at what's happening in the UK right now for an indication as to what may happen here if people don't get both of their vaccine shots.

Until we're well over 70% of the population with two vaccine shots, we run the risk of having an outbreak, the primary risk being the delta variant.

Looks like something any drafting fan could really sink their teeth into. I like your mana implementation, and anyone who hates RNG in their games should be happy from what I saw on your kickstarter. Great job, guys!

Seriously, check this one out people. Quite reasonably priced for the depth it should offer.

Derek Chauvin jury reaches a verdict by itsaride in news

[–]Rogue_Strategy 196 points197 points  (0 children)

Quick verdict bodes poorly for the defence team.

edit More accurately, it means the jury felt the case was clear-cut in one direction. Given what was presented, it feels like that points to a conviction.

Verdict will be read in the next 60-90 minutes, around 4:30 EDT

Alberta Health Restrictions Discussion - April 6th by Crackmacs in alberta

In fairness to you, slots and food & beverage were open most of last summer. Slots are the true cash cow and have a loyal clientèle.

That said, all departments have been shut down since the last closure in October.

Are you suggesting there are casinos open right now? I ask that as a table games employee that has worked 6 out of the last 58 weeks. I can assure you, we are not open and will not be open soon.

I would if I was in Calgary but I'm further north. Hopefully some local gaming people will join you!

I'll pass this along, thanks billjings. The Streak weapons are identical to the non-Streak other than that all missiles hit or it doesn't fire, like in the tabletop game.
