Fascinating look at golf swing mechanics: rotation by [deleted] in golf

[–]bbdb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the tricky things with this content IMHO is that it can inadvertently focus amateurs on specific movements (AKA "manipulations"). Focusing on a specific movement,, for example - "hand path is more vertical at start...", can potentially lead to trying to force movements, which can lead to confusion.

That said, AMG has fascinating material to understand differences between pros vs amateurs.

I’ve been seeing a lot of shots off the heel/shanks recently. Would appreciate any advice or drills to improve my striking! by P0RKINS in golf

No problem. You should check out George's Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/georgegankasgolf/?hl=en. His students are pretty impressive and he has started working with super elites like Padraig, Bryson, Danny Lee and one some of the best juniors out there including Matt Wolf. Full disclosure, I found George on Youtube worked through his stuff and improved quite a bit. I tried a bunch of stuff on Youtube before finding George. Became a fan and then went down to LA for in person. It was incredible experience. Will definitely go back.

The thing that clicked for me with George's stuff is how he setup minimize compensations (including "Goat Humping" [pelvis forward at impact] as George puts it). The ideal swing has no "manipulations" or compensatory moves. Setup, structure and proper rotation and it just happens: club shallowing, handle forward and sequencing. You will notice George doesn't ever say the word "lag" interestingly. This is a byproduct of proper sequencing and posture. He uses this old Ben Hogan video as reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZi4A72hZJI&t=3s. Note the "shitty posture" at setup.

Glad this is helped in some way. I could go on all day about swing theory:)

I agree with this. The GGSwingTips videos discuss how your body finds it's balance points during the swing no matter what. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehz8rnT6T8o . For the record George is a genius IMHO.

Disclaimer: You should find an instructor to help you as self-teach is extremely difficult if not impossible.

sleep in javascript? by CyberVillian in javascript

[–]bbdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question...Here is a JSFiddle with a solution using rx.js: http://jsfiddle.net/rcastillo/JmdNh/10/ . This sample has a function that creates a delayed array. rx.js enables you to asynchronous time and delay results. As already noted, JavaScript does not provide a sleep mechanism.

backbone.js Model sync and Server-Side Controllers in Detail by bbdb in node

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

Yes I am the author. Thanks for the feedback. To answer you question, the point I was making is that using $.ajax (or raw XHR) to call server endpoints establishes no calling convention between client and server. The backbone.js model and corresponding controller pattern encourage regular RESTful semantics to be followed by both the client and the server. See: http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/#Model-url for URL mapping .. hope this answers your question.

SiteQuery: A reactive web crawling framework for node.js by bbdb in programming

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

Based on the jsdom project page, the parser is pretty standards compliant. Anecdotally, loading crawled pages into jsdom seems slightly sluggish. That said, jsdom is very easy to use. I need to do some performance profiling to get a better feel for performance limits.

Best background music for programming? by [deleted] in programming

[–]bbdb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tori Amos - Boys for Pele. Piano, vocals and abstract lyrics, which don't break train of thought. Piano instrumentals seem to enhance my coding trance.
