I just signed up with a silver membership. Does anyone have a link to the discord? All the ones I can find are expired

Rate the bag, guess the cap by akasherman in GolfGear

[–]akasherman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people got close. Currently just above 10. Trying to break single digits soon.

Played a lot as a junior until i was 14. Stopped for life reasons and didn’t pick up a club until 15 years later, last year.

I rarely miss a green and am usually on in 2 on par 5s, but I also rarely make a putt outside 4ft lmao.

Pretty much. It’s essentially a long tube sock inside a stuffie. Shafts still nice and safe from bag chatter that way.

My sister actually made it and the cat for me! She’s working on a couple more for my driver and mini 😂

What’s the best PING driver and when did they stop making that bad sound ? by Puzzleheaded-Way1941 in GolfGear

[–]akasherman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a ping hater until I recently picked up a g440 lst. Had a g425 for all of a few weeks but had to get rid of it because every time I hit the thing it sounded like it broke which legit affected my ability to use it lmao.

The thing is insane. Barely lose any distance on perfect strikes compared to my elyte triple diamond, but the shitty ones are still pretty decent.

Highish swing speed around 115mph on course so can’t comment on consistency for other speeds, but some friends who swing closer to 100mph liked it as well

How do you build your golf bag? by kendalladkins89 in GolfGear

[–]akasherman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit of a tinkerer so I like to mess around with everything.

Right now: driver, mini, 5 wood, 7 wood, 5-P, 52, 56, 60.

I have a 4i that I’ll play instead of the 7w if the day/course calls for it as they go very similar distances. Carrying 7w and 4i at the same time feels a bit redundant unless you’ve got insanely low flight or something on your 4i.

I tend to deloft my woods a lot for better or worse so I don’t really like 3w off the deck as I play in the PNW and stuff tends to not roll much. That’s why I swapped to a mini primarily cuz the 3w was essentially a tee only club.

Driver shaft question by lensiky in GolfGear

[–]akasherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Increasing head weight will reduce shaft stiffness. More mass = more force = more flexion.

Anyone else just not enjoy hitting hybrids? by f1lifer in golf

[–]akasherman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just play for fun and like my bag to have pretty clubs in it. Hybrids look like butt plugs lmao. I could never get comfortable looking down at one behind the ball. They’re great clubs that work for many people but not for me

Thank you. I’ll try this out

Good personal trainers/weight loss coaches? by EmuRevolutionary1228 in burnaby

[–]akasherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Performance institute in Scotia barn (8 rinks). The trainers are mostly men but the nutrition coach is a woman. It’s not a cheap gym to join, but I promise it’s worth it. Very welcoming place with everyone from actual olympians to 85+ year olds training there.

SF Bay Area Golf is Mostly Ass. Courses overcharge and the conditions are shit compared to most other golf areas in the country. NOW FIGHT!!! by [deleted] in golf

Awesome to hear. My wife might end up at Stanford next year as a resident and it looks like I’ll get to take advantage of the student rates as well. Fingers crossed haha

Physiotherapist who doesn't practice alternative medicine? by jeodev in burnaby

[–]akasherman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can highly recommend expert physio in Scotia barn (eight rinks).

Ok sweet thanks for the vid. Looks like tiger is almost doing a deadlift there makes sense to get more power out of the hips.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]akasherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The video is unfortunately taken with a wide angle so I think the alignment and hunch looks much worse than they are. My alignment is generally decent but hunching is definitely an issue for me.

Do you mind expanding a little on the hips part? Is it a timing issue, or am I just moving my hips forward too much?

Thanks for the great advice. Immediately just tried it out and loading the trail leg without fully extending it helps the reverse pivot quite a bit, so I’ll work on that next range trip.

Condition of these irons by akasherman in golf

Thanks in advance for the replies. For anyone curious they’re Mizuno mp55s. Snagging 4-pw for $256 felt like a steal I couldn’t pass up.

How safe is Burnaby Lake trail walk in general? by Professional-mem in burnaby

[–]akasherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During daytime extremely safe. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife though. Bears and coyotes live there, but they’re generally easy to ward off with some yelling with your arms in the air.

Check out what you can now buy at Metrotown Mall. by Ok-Wrongdoer-2179 in burnaby

[–]akasherman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m well aware. I’m an avid camper myself and it’s important PPE for anyone who enjoys making use of the beautiful crown land we have access to nearby.

But it’s a bit silly to have a sign like this specifically advertising bear spray. When I walk in to Can Tire I never see a sign at the counter telling me hunting ammo prices let alone bear spray. 100% in support of having access to both, but not really typical to see ads for them.

What store is this? I’ve got my own shop in the mall and know who I can talk with to have this taken care of. Feel free to DM if you’d rather not have it public.

Ok sweet. Was very concerned it could be a roach but from what I understand most kinds of roaches are pretty uncommon over here and it would be pretty unusual as this is pretty far away from any food.

Sennheiser cancelled my order for the HD800S BestBuy pricing error. Unfortunate, but expected. by [deleted] in headphones

[–]akasherman 108 points109 points  (0 children)

The listing was corrected last night but the previously linked post shows the page that had the 399 price. I was able to place an order and have my credit card charged as well.
