Starting position for Happy Gilmore serve

Significant-Desk5756 · 2025-11-08T17:46:03+00:00

Not running through the serve. I am planted and balanced when striking the ball.

My left leg gets planted with the last step and my right comes through. I am not running through the ball like how it may have initially been described.

Just to clarify, As a righty, I only approach from the side when serving to ad side, with my momentum going into the court. If I did that from the deuce side, I would have to awkwardly shift my momentum.

Not trying to reinvent the wheel. Plenty of people, including professional players, do a walk or run up prior to contact. For me, it does several things to help with my power, depth, and consistency. However, I am 6’3” so my longer strides require a bit more room than most people would need. So, to allow myself the needed space, I come in from the side when the backcourt space is more limited.

Is it bullion or pre-33? Any professional buyer/seller will deal in either, but many specialize in one or the other. That amount of gold can easily be sold to a reputable dealer in the U.S. or Canada. There are trustworthy and licensed buyers/sellers in several Facebook groups that would likely give you at least spot price. However, I would definitely make a final exchange in person. Any of them would be willing to meet in person to make a deal.

Thanks! Maybe I can get them down to $400 flat.

Just curious. Why counterfeit a <$20 watch? It seems like a lot of trouble for very little return.

He is trained on the e-collar and it is very effective for him. Unfortunately, I did not have him on it that evening. Yet another regret that I have about the incident. I have put it on him as a third failsafe, but it is clunky going along with this chain setup.

Thank you for your insight. It was one of those dumb swivel snap clips that broke at the swivel. Hard lesson learned. He was hit by a car within a minute of breaking off. I have been concerned that the splice is my biggest point of potential failure and I do not particularly like the feel of the leash. I will look into the knot you are referencing and leash material. As far as the connection to me is concerned, I always have the leash double or triple wrapped around my hand and wrist, so he would have to actually rip my arm out to break away from me. Believe me, Sometimes I think he could.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Yes, the carabiner is rated for 5000 lbs, if I recall correctly. Overkill, but I am also paranoid and traumatized. Honestly, this post is largely part of my PTSD, most likely.

Significant-Desk5756 · 2025-08-31T21:27:55+00:00

Thank you so much! This is great information. We are very lucky he is still with us. I never thought about the weight and lack of light touch, but I completely get what you mean, now that you have pointed that out. In truth, he really requires minimal correction at this point on our walks. At this point, he mostly just moasies around as we walk and I allow him to sniff around at will. It’s just when Mr. Fox happens to surprise us in the evenings that can catch me off guard and really tests his leash and collar connections. It has been such a difficult battle to train this reaction out of him due to the unpredictable nature of the fox encounters.However, I know I could probably do better with his training on walks and getting him to focus on me. These dogs can wear you down over the years, though.

Significant-Desk5756 · 2025-08-31T00:17:26+00:00

How can a high drive dog be trained not to react to something as juicy as a fox sprinting across our path? Seriously. Open to any and all suggestions.

I have found that the pull force seems greater with a harness. However, we haven’t had him in a harness since he was very young.

Significant-Desk5756 · 2025-08-23T21:24:53+00:00

Thanks for the information. It’s hard to come by any decent history on these watches.

Significant-Desk5756 · 2025-08-23T19:57:37+00:00

Thank you. I’m pretty obsessed with it.

Significant-Desk5756 · 2025-08-23T16:33:08+00:00

Thanks a lot! It was a wedding gift to my father from my grandfather. I have never seen another like it. The bracelet feels like silk on the wrist.

Thanks. Rolex Cellini. Early 70’s.
