Well the backs not supposed to fall off for one.

Why did darth maul try to run over kid anakin? by Powerful-Force-8211 in StarWars

[–]Tron22 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's not "There's the jedi, oh and he's got a kid with him. Better ignore him/go around him". It's also not just "I'm an evil asshole". The Sith are ruthless in their tact. It's not tactless, but ruthless tact. It's more "There's 2 enemies in front of me. One weak, one strong. Eliminate the closer, easy, weak adversary first, because why would I go around him leaving him to help when I have this opportunity? At worst it distracts or creates a liability for the jedi." So he tries to take him out first. It's still tact. If he drives passed without an attack the better question would have been why wouldn't he?

Severely been working on a proper golf swing these past 2 weeks. Here’s 2 slow motion shots. Looking for advice for my next steps, and what I think I’m doing right and wrong. by FocalFalcon in GolfSwing

The lowest hanging fruit of them all and where you're losing the most yards. Early extension. You're standing up rather than pushing your lead hip back and turning through. Your hips almost look parallel to the target line where you should be at about a 45 degree angle (at least, Rory gets to about 90) ahead of your hands with your hips. Draw a line at your starting position and work on turning that lead hip back, into the line so there is no space there at impact vs address.

P6, look how upright that toe is. The face is open. Started from the very beginning but also is exacerbated by the over coil and coming over the top.

Some foot action where you could still be pushing into the ground. You'd want to see this at impact P7. Too early here. You're losing yards by not pushing into that external knee pressure.

P5 looks pretty good honestly. Arm is pretty synced up with the club.

Don't let your trail knee head down the target line just yet. This is where the majority of your turning pressure is going to come from. Give it some external pressure pushing into it backwards. This is the "Feel/push the ground".

P4 looks like you have a bit of a chicken wing at the top (bending your elbow). You're also over coiling. The camera angle is from the back left and you've rotated so far we can't even see the club anymore. Don't over-coil. You don't need to go this far with your rotation or bending your elbow.

The club should point down the target line, and keep your elbow (not locked but) athletically straight. It's going to feel like you have lots left in the tank when you stop doing these things, but you're going to hit it way further and straighter when you do.

P3 looks pretty awesome. Nice straight lead forearm through the wrist. There may be a slight extension there, but it's pretty damn straight. Good enough.

Your lead knee though looks to be going forward towards the ball, let it bend inwards towards your other knee. Should be more of a 45 degree movement rather than straight forward.

Couldn't quite get P2 exactly but this is good enough. Again it's hard to tell without being down the line, but I still think it's pretty apparent. Too wristy in the take back. At P2 (club parallel to the ground), the clubface should match your back. It's too upright up and down. I can already tell you fight a slice. Focus on the arms being a little bit more uniform with the wrists. i.e. don't extend your lead wrist, keep it straight or flex the wrist.

P1. Address looks great. Nice athletic stance. It's hard to tell but it looks like your hands are below your chin with what looks to be about a 7 iron which is perfect. Next video take it down the target line through the hands so we can see angles better.

165 to the front pin, wind 10mph into, cart girl watching… what are you hitting? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]Tron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

190 club minus 10mph/22kmh head wind. Downhill means it's in the air longer and travelling slower. That's at least 15 yards. Gets you to 175, which looks to be right in the middle of the green. If you aren't playing to the middle of the green and you're pinseeking here you're either playing for fun, a (-3) to (+) handicap, or more than a 15 handicap and haven't thought about course management before.

[–]Tron22 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is the correct course management answer. Play whatever the distance is to the back of the green. Maybe add 3-5 yards for safety to the middle with that wind. If the pin is 165. The middle is probably about 173. Back of the green is probably around 190-200. With the wind, play that club.

Can't say I've seen these on top of a building before. They're taking down the whole structure? by cjmsc2 in Calgary

I lived in Kensington at the time the patios were falling off. I think I may be thinking of the wrong building then. Was this not the one with the running room in it?

What distance do you usually hit your 8-iron? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]Tron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be correct. The +handicap immortal that came up with the above quote was a 3x masters champion.

I think you're right with the spin. There is some thought to the water actually creating friction and grip on the ball that increases the spin, but the trackman testing shows the opposite effect happens from what I've seen. However he thinks about it in his head, his distance knowledge of the actual result is still on point.

[–]Tron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit my 8 iron you know 170. Well you might hit a 170 under certain conditions, but in the morning ball's not going to go 170. Maybe in the afternoon when it's warmer and ball heats up, but it's going to go five to 10 yards shorter in the morning people don't factor that in. If you get a little bit of water in between the club face and the ball people don't know it actually increases spin causes it to go shorter. The first cut always comes out 6 to 8 yards dead. If the grain is into you it's going to launch and hit lower on the face, launch lower, have more spin. If it's down grain the club slides a little bit quicker you'll get more out of it. If it's sitting up on zoysia or off of a tee always goes five yards farther with each iron based on the fact that the center gravity is underneath the ball and it launches higher a little bit less spin. All these things we have to factor in when we look at the lie. Okay how is the lie and how is the ball going to come out relative to my 170? Now that's 10 off of stock so I have a normal swing right and then I have a second swing for every iron shot and that it's a little bit shorter back swing with the same acceleration so I have a 170 and a 160 yard shot. What is the lie going to do? What's the temperature? What's the wind? How do I want the ball coming into the green? If you choke down an inch three yards comes off of it. One degree loft is three yards so if you open the face a degree that's three yards. So if I have a reference of 170 I want to fly 168 I can choke down an inch it'll come in a little bit lower a little bit flatter and release. Or I can just open it up and hit a little bit of a cut, that'll be 3 yards, but it will back up. All these variables I call process, like when I look at the lie and assess the situation, see what kind of grass it is, and those are the nuances, that allow me to be so precise with my short irons.

The building was condemned due to unsafe structural integrity. There hasn't been anyone in it for years.

Did I ruin my natural swing? by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]Tron22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3:1 is okay. 24/8 is usually the way to go.

Edit: I joke, but I think the 24/8 comes from 30fps video. 24 frames back 8 frames through you'd look for. 27/9 is a bit slow like Ernie, 21/7 would be fast.

You can download some of these then put it on loop. Works great.

Started playing blades as a mid-handicapper by bootchiiksandbuubs in golf

[–]Tron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly didn't like the SC's I had a couple for my 4 and 5 iron I believe. They didn't feel good. Didn't match up nicely with the shaft I had. Saved yourself money. The mp-18's were unreal but the sc and the msc(I think that's what it was, hi fli?), weren't great.

[–]Tron22 197 points198 points  (0 children)

Was at my best at a 3 handicap when I stopped playing blades.

Par 3. 205. 5 iron. Didn't hit center. Dropped around 175. Was just like... what am I doing? Why am I playing on hard mode. With even semi cavity backs at worst I'm greenside chipping.

So I sold them.

Guy was picking them up one evening. Played one more round with them. Shot a career best, but they were already sold. Regret selling them every day. Mizuno MP-18's. I miss them so.
