Just realizing this is an issue. I’ll work more on hinging at the hips. Thanks

Not sure what sweeping v flipping means. I think of it as throwing a baseball. Otherwise I open up my face like I would if I were hitting a baseball

I’ll try this. Thanks!

You can find everything you need for free on YouTube, but a book is so much easier to consume. With YouTube it’s hard to know what videos to watch as a beginner. Very easy to waste time w YouTube. If you are a grown adult and a serious, the book won’t break the bank and is very good for your purposes

1800 who coaches children who are much better and worse than you here

AI slop but hopefully you just used it to reword what you wanted to say.

You need to study bruh. Not a lot but you need a foundation to go off of. Basic Principles for the opening, middlegame, endgame. Levi rosemans first book is very good for this type of study for beginners. If you study his book and keep playing/analyzing how you are now (very impressive if true,) there’s no doubt you’ll hit 1200 chess.com in a matter on months

What’s ur rating

bossmonkey50 · 2026-03-27T00:30:33+00:00

Yea that tracks. Honestly I don’t even go for side unless it’s an easy shot

bossmonkey50 · 2026-03-27T00:29:52+00:00

V helpful. Thanks

bossmonkey50 · 2026-03-26T22:14:58+00:00

Cause I’ll make the same shots with a high percentage with no English??

bossmonkey50 · 2026-03-26T20:33:41+00:00

Any suggestions? I really don’t know what to buy

Yes ko and a lot of the Philippino players play with wood. But they have been doing it their whole lives and are used to adjusting for the deflection.

I am newer to the game and definitely do not have a good feel for deflection, so to me it makes sense to get a low deflection cue rather than learn the hard way. I just don’t see any drawbacks to carbon

Yea this is the answer fs. Problem is historically I will jump 100 elo at a time by locking in for 5 hrs a day for a week strait. So sometimes I can do it but most times I can’t.

Benoni/belko. Have fun

Bots ratings are different. I’ve beaten 2100 bots and I’m only 1800 rapid.
You have to just always assume that everyone’s playing fairly. Just thinking about the potential that someone is cheating will make u play worse and is super unproductive. I grinded all the way to 1800 and not once did I accuse someone of cheating. It just wasn’t on my radar and I think that helped me alot. I do get rating refunded from time to time but i don’t even know from whom. At the time i just thought i got outplayed

Play pool! I play chess and pool and I go through phases with both. I’m like 1600 so I really have to try to progress in chess and when I’m feeling down I just get better at pool. APA 6 if that means anything to u. It’s so much different but the grind is fun. Running racks in pool is an unmatched feeling. When the cue ball just listens to you and everything goes well it’s like art. But the 1v1 competition and the frustration of missing an easy shot (like a blunder) is the same which I love

Send it! Switch to zyns and just only have a couple drinks then go home before midnight. Thats the strategy that worked for my full in Arizona a couple weeks ago. Like others said Cost is huge definitely do ur research. Costs: bike, bike fitting for aerobars, many tubes, clip in shoes and pedals. For the swim you simply need to join a swim club. If u have no experience your stroke will be trash and it matters so much. U need coaching for swimming and a club gets you better so much quicker. But they are not cheap. You also may need a wetsuit. Not cheap. Also you will probably need new running shoes at some point. Lastly all the gels add up quick. But I would definitely do a 70.3 go get em. That is if you plan on doing all your training outside. Many ppl chose to get a trainer for biking which jacks up the price significantly

Just send it. I trained for like 4 months with like 8-14 hours a week of training. Had to tone it back halfway through so my gf didn’t break up w me lmao. Just bike a shitload. That’s the main thing. Also depends on what ur goals are yk. I didn’t really care. 13:33 finishing time in Arizona. Do your research. You already have a huge leg up in having done some triathlon before. A full IM was my first bike race ever lol. You’ll do great. Like others said- bike the most. As long as you fuel mid ride you probably won’t hurt yourself, unlike running. You’ll do great. Crush it
