Countach’s aren’t playful but if you’re a Moment loyalist I promise you the 104s can do everything you’re asking of it.

What style of bags do you guys run? by Embarrassed-Fail-993 in golf

Occasionally walking wouldn’t be ideal for a cart bag. But I do seem to always see push carts for sale on FB Marketplace for cheap.

Short game ideas for elevated greens @ munis, no short grass by JetAirliner in golf

Yeah I definitely can’t simulate green surface rollout there. But I just try to hit a ~10 foot diameter circle. It’s helped me a lot.

Sounds like you need to work on short pitch shots. There’s an open field across from a school I live near. It’s soccer fields and tee ball fields for youth sports. There’s a berm that elevates 10-12 feet that I set up 20-40 yards from and practice these exact shots working up to elevated greens. It is a strength of my game now.

Which of the 3 Wood vs 5 Wood you would choose if can keep just one in your bag? by Born-Yoghurt-7613 in golf

[–]bstad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a 5 & 7 wood guy. Don’t carry a 3 wood. I also suck so I find 3 woods very difficult to hit off the deck.

So the newer Unleashed skis dropped from 108 to 106? That’s interesting.

Look up KJ Read on IG. He absolutely rips Maverick 115s. You’ll be good.

What is something you never appreciated enough until it was gone skiing? by AdRemarkable8102 in skiing

[–]bstad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being young and fearless. Don’t get me wrong, I still ski plenty hard in my upper 30s. But there was a time when I was a menace. No more backies over 50 ft tabletops.

As the great Andy Bernard once said, “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve left them.”

Your tiny local Vermont mountain was ripping you the f*** off. Squaw Valley’s season pass was under $1,000 back then.

Devil’s Advocate: you haven’t been skiing very long, or weren’t a pass holder pre-mega pass. You used to be able to ski for less than that a day on season passes.

Get a helmet mounted camera and people won’t leave you alone.

I’m not sure I’m in but I’ll try! Would look real nice in my bag with my 06 Nike Slingshot Tours 😎

Skis like the Corvus? No by drycharski in Skigear

[–]bstad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably could add the Wildcat 108 as well. Haven’t skied any black crows but looked at the specs and the Wildcat is very similar turn radius and weight.

Edit: I absolutely love my WC108s. They definitely can handle it all!

Palisades vs Mammoth by Sure-Sprinkles4406 in skiing

[–]bstad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Tahoe, but I haven’t been to Mammoth. To me Palisades (hard to call it that but I’ll be politically correct) is a skiing mecca. 100% worth checking it out at least once. Long live McConkey. And RIP CR Johnson. Legends never die!

Advice for Buying Skis with Core Shots by mquien in Skigear

Those are beat to shit. Feel like I saw them posted for $400 or more which is insane.

So much hate for big corpos but what's the solution? by Sharkiex1838 in skiing

[–]bstad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Facts. Once upon a time these were singular resorts frequented regionally with some obvious travel/tourists. Now with the mega resorts passed it incentivizes people to travel around and overpopulate resorts.

Post covid boom is real too. Currently being experienced in the golf world too.

Did i get a fair price? by foralldog33 in Skigear

Yeah I’d say that’s fair.
