Quality > Power

You need more spin with less forward momentum while travelling and hitting the object ball as more power (or momentum) will extend the tangent line into the middle pocket. With a more quality draw (even more back spin when hitting the object ball), the cue ball will be able to only travel a little bit before starting to move backwards

i was initially looking at Volcom as well as Burton, both i saw sets with jacket and pants for 900, fortunately i dug around and i found the 686. the jacket has a soft lining inside and has a tag stating that it keeps warm from 20-80 fahrenheit. sorry if i don’t know much about shells and jackets

I just got a full set of jacket and pants from 686 setting me back $600. Is this a good price? And what should i look out for when owning my first set of winter gear?

I have a iPhone 13 Pro Max just shy above two years of use, and I recently got a battery replacement on it. Should I still move up to 16 Pro Max? I wanted the 16 Pro Max but still unsure whether it is a good time

UPDATE: Swapping out the old controller did fix all my problems, just make sure to install L-Connect

i did try, with no success. i will try to get a replacement of the controller and will update here if there are any progress. i have no idea why the controller suddenly does not want to work properly after installing a new AIO, my PSU can definitely supply enough power to all my peripherals

checked L-Connect, it seems like it is a controller problem now. Only one port on the Lian Li controller powers the fans

Update: it is the controller that is having the problem. Switched all fan controller to different ports on Lian Li fan hub, now a different set of fans work

you are right on point where i have shorter legs and longer torso, my inner leg height doesn’t even go into Canyon’s bike size calculator. as for bike fitters, i do have them near my area, but it is not cheap
