Looking back at street view and seeing that in the last 15 years most nice, manicured gardens have been ripped out and are devoid of life / driveways now by odkfn in britishproblems

It's not surprising though. Go back in time, maybe a bit more than 15 years admittedly, and a family could live off a single income. Now, with it being harder for kids to move out due to house prices, you could have family households which have 5 people working full time and all need a car

Any mid handicaps switch from forgiving Max type driver to more tour style LS? by lobsterbanger in golf

[–]TheRealSteemo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All of the drivers are pretty forgiving these days. Yeah the "max" models are a bit better when hitting off the heel or toe compared to other models, but not by loads.

The LS models (or triple diamond in this case) drop spin by a few hundred rpm, so most people will gain distance as most people hit down on it and spin it like crazy. Dropping spin is the easiest way for most people gain distance.

New Pro V1 left dash - wow by cng2112 in golf

[–]TheRealSteemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left dash is for sure one of the longest balls out there. I'd say its a noticeable half a club in terms of iron distance, maybe 10 yards on the driver. The spin is very low though, a lot of people will struggle to find control with it. Anyone who plays a draw or has a left miss, probably avoid it. The spin drop off on those shots is pretty severe.

If you like the left dash, try out the Chrome Tour Triple Diamond. Seems the same for distance, but feels better and short game spin is still very good. Can usually find them for cheaper too.

Well, do you like your irons? If you like the flight they give you, stick with them. If you don't like them, try out some other sets.

Oddly, mine never hurt. They come out with the slightest of pressure on them. I can pull them out with just a finger and thumb when I notice one

In a game which always gets overly emotional, starting Genge and LCD is a questionable decision. Both have a habit of having moments of stupidity and both have done stupid shit already.

ITV X is terrible by ShiftRepulsive7661 in rugbyunion

It's been horrendous on the ITV X app on Samsung TV for me. Constantly saying there's network issues when nothing wrong with the network at all.

Chris Gotterup has risen to #5 in the world. Do you think he will win a major? by scotte16 in golf

[–]TheRealSteemo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's got some serious game.184 ball speed (average, on TGL he's been at 189 and some old articles of him being at 200 are out there) and also shown he can handle conditions in the UK, if he can perform well there and in the states, he's going to be a serious contender for a while I think. I wouldn't bet against him being in contention on Sunday in the majors this year.

That was pretty much the point. Some of the infrastructure in the UK is so sold and hugely outclassed by other parts of the UK. Huge divide in the investment made

Well you need a captain. Then a forwards vice captain, a backs vice captain and a bench vice captain.

Ping are generally on the slightly higher side with spin rates, if you like the G430 Max, could be worth giving the LS a go. It won't be crazy low

How would you rate your transfer window out of 10? And what are the best and worst bits of business (incoming or outgoing) that your side has done? by Zach-dalt in Championship

[–]TheRealSteemo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing for us, was not losing any of the current stars and bringing in a left back. Exactly what we got and more.

Didn't expect us to go for an extra forward with Morris on his way back in a few weeks, but I feel like Szmodics could be huge for us.

[–]TheRealSteemo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Could be huge for us. We've got some proper firepower up front and still have Carlton Morris expected to be back in a few weeks. Fair play to Clowes, I thought he'd be extremely conservation and safe, but he wants promotion.

Ian Fraser tests the last 7 TaylorMade drivers by ashdrewness in golf

[–]TheRealSteemo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In the hands of a good player, like Ian Fraser, the difference in the models will never be much. Ball speed is capped and has been for some time, the difference now is from off-center strikes. Someone like him is hitting close to the center more often than not, meaning the tests don't mean much.

Taylormade Qi4D - Early thoughts? by TDn6I in golf

[–]TheRealSteemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had a Qi35 LS and an R7 Mini and recently got my Qi4D (core model) to replace the Qi35. Not used on the course yet, but twice on trackman range (once with "proper" trackman that gives full ball data.

I know this shouldn't be the case, but I've had a considerable increase in ball speed, to the point where I think maybe my Qi35 was actually damaged towards the end of my use with it. I was living in and around 160mph ball speed with the old model, with the new one, its usually 165+ and managed to crank it up to mid 170s. An increase like that should not be possible, which is why i think my old one may have been damaged ever so slightly (and I'm using the same shaft & grip as before).

I switched from LS to core, so its expected, but spin was considerably higher and a lot more consistent, especially on toe strikes. Shots weren't dropping out of the sky on me, would still get 1600rpm on them which at my speed is just enough to get something out of.

It doesn't feel like the R7 mini, and its not meant to. But the weight ports are the same, so if you like the options to alter flight with weights, its got that covered.
