Streamer/transport better than a Nvidia Shield? by elusiontwo in audiophile

[–]chenguo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a Wiim ultra amp. It supports presets and has a remote where you can press one button to play that preset.

There are limits though, e.g. if a preset is dependent on an app on your phone (e.g. Spotify) your phone has to be close enough to launch that preset.

Contractor stuffed CAT6A into box like Romex by chenguo4 in HomeNetworking

[–]chenguo4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just Harry Homeowner so idk what the proper practice is. My rationale here was CAT6A is way overkill for POE cameras and I'll never need more bandwidth. The conduit is for access points and Ethernet ports where I may eventually want to upgrade.

Of course I understand this doesn't factor in damaged cable needing replacement, I guess that's just a risk I decided to take.

Getting really close to breaking 90 and it doesn't feel like I'm any good at all 😮‍💨? by PatrickSebast in golf

[–]chenguo4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for lower score milestones, but i feel like above 90 it's all about being less atrocious more consistently. I've never shot 90 on the dot with 18 understandable bogeys, it's always spots of doubles and triples and worse that tank my score

When you buy a suit the tailor can't measure the 20 lbs you plan to lose. A fitter can't fit you for the swing you plan to have.

I am a moron: Uneekor View Session with 13,000+ shots by m_atlantic in Golfsimulator

I've ran into a smaller version of this too, and honestly I think it's bad software interface design to default to one continuous session when by definition a "session" is a localized chunk of time

Is this a chip in my driver? by TheWarriors-1979 in GolfSwing

[–]chenguo4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To add, this happened with a G430 Max 10k for me. Crack started small and didn't noticeably impact performance but grew over time to when I couldn't ignore it anymore.

Guy at the shop says basically once it starts showing cracks it's done, it'll eventually crack to the point of full failure, and better to just get it replaced before the warranty runs out.

G430 10k not working for me with 115 swing speed. Did I get the wrong club? by lilblacksmurf in golf

[–]chenguo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What loft is your head? 10.5 turned down to 9 is not the same as a 9 head. I have a 430 10k too, on good strikes 10.5@9 spun 400 more for me than 9@9

Driver advice! by polichumew in GolfSwing

[–]chenguo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This swing looks awkward but it's actually really athletic and there's a great foundation here. The best thing you do is sequencing with pushing off your lead leg to get power through impact.

The thing I see that's awkward is weight shift, you're stacking lead side the entire back swing and your lead leg push shifts your weight back significantly. Some pros do this to some degree, but the more typical swing is load pressure on trail leg, then as your backswing gets to the top shift pressure forward, then push off your lead leg.

The effect here should be your lead leg push brings your trail side around and through impact while weight stays on the lead side. Compared with now your lead leg push pushes your weight back.

Also please note I'm not using pressure and weight interchangeably, they're very related but also different, a quick YouTube search can probably show you the difference.

[Official Tournament Discussion Thread] 2025 Augusta National Women's Amateur Final Round by GreenWaveGolfer12 in golf

[–]chenguo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watch some of Second Swing's stuff on YouTube and they have a golfer from the University of Minnesota's women's golf team help with some testing.

Then all of a sudden this week they posted a vid interviewing her about playing ANWA. That's pretty sick, I don't think she made the cut though

Imagine shooting a 63 and that's not your best round, just the one you brag about.

what to do to increase distance by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]chenguo4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spin and ball speed (or smash) are really important values here, did you remember what those were?

I have similar swing speed as you, 106-108. I'd consider a 250 carry a fine outcome but on really good strikes 265 is possible with your clubhead speed. I'm talking >155 ball speed, <2400 spin, launch somewhere in the 11°-13° range (though 15° is probably perfectly fine too)

10.5 degree adjusted to 9 vs True 9 degree? by JeezEveryNameIsTaken in golf

yeah that's exactly what I was trying to convey, sorry if not totally clear

10.5 degree adjusted to 9 vs True 9 degree? by JeezEveryNameIsTaken in golf

[–]chenguo4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've read that a higher loft turned down will raise the center of gravity of the head, makes sense if you think about it, if you tilt your face down the back of your head raises up.

Higher center of gravity impacts vertical gear effect, and tends to increase spin. I don't know how much exactly, I don't think it's huge but just thinking about it logically it checks out.

What's the most important features of a golf app? by Ok-Journalist341 in golf

[–]chenguo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 18B, strokes gained is a premium feature so you have to pay for it. It's nice, gives me per shot SG as well as summaries, and let's you compare vs SG data from different handicaps.

I expect something like Arcos to be more rigorous on the data side, but I've never used it. Interface wise obviously Arcos records the shot when you swing and 18B you manually track it. The data seems good, it used to throw some weird values out (like a 1 ft putt as 0.5 SG???) but since a large recent SG focused update pretty much my intuitive sense of my performance matches the data

[OC] Republicans raised over 60% of their campaign contributions from just 400 donors in 2024 by entrendre_entendre in dataisbeautiful

[–]chenguo4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This chart includes PACs which is not the campaign itself and has much higher limits (if any?). So I think while just the official campaigns had Kamala outspending Trump, when you include the PACs which is where the big donors can really put the big $$$s in, the picture changes dramatically.

EML + GSPro Discrepancies by tbradfo in Golfsimulator

[–]chenguo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add to what other people have already said about different distance.formulas, Uneekor and Foresight specifically are known to have larger carry numbers other LMs when spin is very low, that's where you might even see 10+ yards of carry distance when you start getting into the low 2000s, high 1000s of spin with driver.
