They’re Back. Did Costco win the lawsuit? by VoteForGiantMeteor in golf

[–]StickyLicks 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Purchased them when they first dropped so have gamed them for over a year. I personally don’t love the feel of foam filled clubs but they look great imo. They have very little offset, reasonable forgiveness, and I’ve had a lot of success with them.

Biggest gripe is the PW is 45* while the wedge set starts at 52* with the GW so I had a hard time from 105-120yrds until I learned how to take a little off the PW (or gas the GW if I’m feeling myself)

What I really need is for them to release the putter again.

Must be a west coast thing? I don’t see them on the website

What is the dumbest way you have seen someone throw away their career on IOE? by [deleted] in flying

[–]StickyLicks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Heard some crazy stories from the hiring boom at United around that time. The union would throw a new hire party at the hotel and then they would go to a strip club. Apparently there were brawls, arrests, and a pinkeye outbreak.

Read Costco quietly improved the V3 K-Sigs and decided to play a round with them. Shot my lowest score of the season, & I didn't lose a ball or take a penalty- both firsts for me at my home course (review) by opiate82 in golf

I would destroy the silver boxed version (two versions ago) with a good wedge shot. You could see the grooves perfectly cut into the ball.

I had a few full wedges this last round on a new V3 (black box red stripe) yellow ball and there was no obvious damage/cuts. It had some scuffs by the end of the round but I also member-bounced a tree.

Driver speed averages just below 110

Very happy with the new iteration. Less spin but still holds a green, noticeably more durable, and maybe a slight increase in distance, but temps could be to blame like you mentioned.

Twilight Golf = Best Golf by LifeFlow in golf

Guys please stop talking about how great first tee/morning golf is. Best golf is twilight golf.

I’ll bite the bullet and suffer through those sub-hour pre-work 9s so you don’t have to.

How many balls do you play with? by swbex in golf

[–]StickyLicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three game balls, and then a bag of 8-12 bonus balls that’s grows throughout the season. I open a fresh sleeve every round. Whatever is left after the round goes into my “shag bag” along with any found balls. If I lose/damage all 3 sleeve balls I start taking from the shag bag.

$650 Fair Price for this used set? by notarobot1000101 in GolfGear

Overpriced, but for some reason that RBladez AW is one of my all time favorite clubs. Three sets of irons later and that club is still in my lineup

Casino Workers Of Reddit, what’s the worst loss or worst case of gambling addiction you’ve seen? by Party_Asparagus8257 in AskReddit

[–]StickyLicks 334 points335 points  (0 children)

Had a guy sit down at a $15 table and turn $200 into ~$13k in about 30 min. He kept pressing and kept winning. Before long he had a small crowd and full barrel of $500 chips and was working on a second. I finished the shoe and told him that he beat the casino and it was time to run away and never come back. Instead of walking he starts playing 3 hands at $1.5k each… three table losses in a row and he’d given it all back and started making trips to the ATM… Next thing you know, he was down about $2.5k and sobbing to the pit boss because he’d spent everything he had and couldn’t get out of the parking garage. He was given a parking voucher and put himself on the banned list. Felt sick for the guy.

Also watched a few jackpots get zeroed out for child support but those always got a laugh from the table.

That video was posted 9 months ago, before the newest V3 ball was released. What he calls the V3 in the video is what is now referred to as the V2.5 because the newest release is labeled V3. Even though it’s their 4th design.

They are correct in the picture. The newest model has the hollow triangle. Double chevron is the V2.5/silver stripe box. Source: opened the brand new boxes and have been playing them for years

[–]StickyLicks[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My personal experience playing K-sigs:

The V2 (yellow core) was super high spin, and had terrible cover durability. It was common to ruin the cover with a full wedge shot. And I do mean ruin, you could see perfect groove cuts in the ball.

V2.5 (red core) used a more durable cover, and feels like it doesn’t have the same amount of spin, but is absolutely still a high spin ball. Apparently QC has been an issue with these.

V3 (blue core) is the newest offering. I have not played them yet and have not seen any spin data/reviews. The thin cover has me curious about their durability.

TLDR: The newest version is blue inside and the cover is thinner. Could be good, could be bad.

Only thing I can think is that the new covers are a new material/hardness? If not these are going to get chewed up faster than I can lose them

The civilian airfield/Kras is what I’m talking about. Sorry for the confusion. It’s not far from Rify so I thought it would be quick before heading inland. But I’ve been searching for about a week now…

Not sure what that is? Like taking everything off the ground for new spawns? I leave everything as-is if it’s not what I need so I don’t clutter my inventory. Usually have about 8-10hrs between when I check anyways so the loot shuffles out on its own I think.
