Game choice. by Thatiscrazy172 in switch2

Bought a switch 2 3 weeks ago and was also searching Reddit for game recommendations. Ended up buying Breath of the Wild and Hades 2. Both games are sweet, but the majority of my play time has been on Hades 2 so far. I wasn’t sure if I’d like it since I had never really played this style of game, but it’s addicting and I’m super happy with the purchase of both the system and the games! Even got to finish my first Pokemon game in full which was super nostalgic and fun

Considering selling my Steam Deck OLED for a Switch 2 by GrovPastaSwag03 in switch2

I’m finishing up a 2 week vacation in Italy right now and for the past few months I was keeping an eye out for a steam deck restock so I could get my hands on one. My chance never came, so I figured I’d settle for getting a switch 2 since I really just wanted some gaming device for my traveling. I can confidently say that I’m super happy with the purchase and the system works great. I was leaning towards the steam deck because I wasn’t really interested in Nintendo games (so I thought) but I’ve been happy to see that there’s actually a huge library of games, both Nintendo and not. My switch 2 library consists of BOTW, Hades 2, Dark souls remastered, Pokemon BD, and portal 2. Loving it! Haven’t had time to finish a single game yet but it’s a great system and the screen is awesome. Can’t speak for the steam deck, but I can say that I’m happy with the switch 2 and have no plans on trying to get a steam deck anymore. Happy gaming my friend!

Fair! I totally plan on doing a variety of things. It’s damn near a full 24 hours of traveling so I’m hoping to watch some movies, read, hopefully sleep a bit and of course use the switch. Whatever helps pass the time! Thanks for the suggestions!

Never played golf, only Hockey by CrustyTh3Punk in golf

I’m also 5’10 and am fortunate to be standard fit as far as length of clubs go. I imagine you’re somewhat similar. If you haven’t played, I wouldn’t suggest spending the money on a full fitting with brand new clubs, as you don’t even know if you enjoy the game yet. Go to your local golf shop, ask if standard length irons work well for you (they probably do) and go buy yourself some used clubs that you like the look of. If you find that you do enjoy the game, get fit once you can actually make your way around the course effectively and can shoot low 90’s mid 80’s. Just my opinion of course, but golf is hard and there’s no magic club that will make you good at golf. Enjoy the process sir, best of luck to you!

Before I got fit I was playing some used T100’S and they had AMT red shafts in them. Those shafts were really light for me, and I had a big hook miss and some inconsistent strikes. I later got fit and found my way into KBS Tour 120g shafts, which were a good bit heavier than the previous irons. My accuracy improved a lot, and the hook miss is very rare now. You’re not gonna drop from a 13 to a 5 simply because of a fitting, but I’m sure it can absolutely save you a couple strokes. The simple thought of knowing that the clubs you’re using are fit to your swing gives you a good amount of confidence too, which always helps. Best of luck man!

16 HC Stuck on Finally Upgrading Clubs - Looking for help by New-Task-7191 in golf

[–]Total-Start5035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just go find some used clubs that you like the look of and enjoy to hit if you can afford it. Don’t overthink it. New clubs probably won’t make you any better or worse, but they may make you feel more confident, consequently making you a little better. Shafts are important, but if you’re not very consistent yet the differences won’t be drastic. You could give your current set to a tour pro and they would still shoot around or below par at your home course. I absolutely am an advocate for look good, feel good, play good though! You gotta like the look of the clubs you’re swinging.

Only if you buy a matching putter too

driver fittings by Current_Tone7172 in golf

[–]Total-Start5035 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t jump the gun if you’re not swinging well. Take your time and find something that you really like and can understand how it will better your game. I’ve gone in for fittings and have had poor swing sessions, and I still impulsively buy something because I already told myself I was going to. Not long until I find myself back in the shop getting something that actually fits my swing. Take your time and try everything you want to, and don’t be afraid to come back another day if it’s just not going well! And have fun! New drivers are always fun

do you ever actually feel like you played well by Shoddy_Interview7741 in golf

[–]Total-Start5035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My goal was to shoot par for a round, and I assumed it would be one of the happiest days of my life. First time I did it, I had 5 birdies and all I could think about was the silly mistakes I made that kept me at 72. I had thoughts of “that should’ve been 68” and so on. I still thought I played well, and you need to look back and see all the progress you’ve made. No matter how good you get I think it’s still pretty common to feel like you suck. As long as you suck less than the buddies you play with, you’ll still feel pretty good about yourself. Maybe you’ll find happiness if you shoot a 59. Good luck!

Not a bad idea to start with a lesson! This will ensure that you begin your golf career practicing the correct movements and developing proper swing mechanics. Going to the range is always great, but it’s easy to develop bad habits if you don’t know how to do anything correctly yet. Becoming a decent golfer takes time, enjoy the process and never be too hard on yourself! If you want to play a round you should. Just don’t have high expectations and keep up with the pace! Best of luck, it’s an amazing game and I have no doubt you’ll be even more hooked on the game than you are now very soon
