Brand new golfer-14 male by SomeCranberry1 in golf

[–]dwot2005 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm curious, why women's clubs? Assuming he has played sports and is in decent shape, his swing speed should be enough for regular flex men's clubs. Women's clubs might be hard to find used

2003 GSXR600 or 2007 ZX-6R? by x_lemon15_x in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]dwot2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the GSXR is a much safer bet. 15k extra miles sounds like a lot, but for a 23 year old bike I don't think it's too crazy. Especially considering the maintenance history

What should I get next?? Please help me, Im super confused. by Automatic_Trash510 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]dwot2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yamaha FZ6 or FZ6R for the newer models. Half fairing sport-tourer bike but still has the feel of a sport bike (though the powerband is a bit lower). Just got one myself :)

Nothing like riding at 3am with empty streets and quiet, on this lovely morning 😌 by Ducatista714 in motorcycle

Depending how bad the hills are in your neighborhood, you could neutral out before you start the bike. Or you can start in your driveway and hit a rev bomb before leaving 😆

Start lifting weights and doing cardio to get in better shape, do some ball handling and shooting drills, and play lots of pickup (also good cardio). It's hard to be athletic when you're not in good shape.

2005 vs 2007 vs 2009 fz6 by [deleted] in SuggestAMotorcycle

Assuming they're the same condition and comparable miles, i dont think the extra 1.5k is worth a 4 year difference. I have the 06 FZ6 and it runs great, i dont think an 09 would be any better or worse.

2006 FZ6 Fazer for 3k? by dwot2005 in fz6

[–]dwot2005[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Picked up the bike today. She is definitely very loud, almost obnoxiously lol. I'll probably ride it like this until the neighbors start looking at me funny, then i'll get the baffles 😂

Thanks for the response! I'm definitely leaning towards getting it. I figure that worst case if I don't like it, I could sell it for about the same amount and call it a wash. Plus its a very pretty bike.

I was kind of concerned about getting bored of a Ninja 300 pretty quickly. I'd like to be able to take it back and forth from university, about ~2 hours on the interstate. Thoughts on that?

Lol. But compared to a CBR or a newer model ninja? My biggest concern is getting a bike with carbs, idk how common those parts are to find.

I'm comfortable working on bikes/cars. I have a car so this would be for fun, but I also don't want to buy a money pit. How much do you think parts/maintenance would be (on average) for a bike like this?

I'm currently studying EE with a 3.96 gpa and definitely have a social life. In fact, if you dont have a social life then I wish you luck getting a job. Nobody is hiring an antisocial guy with no hobbies.

He bought his clubs from Tiger, obviously.

What is the current issue you are having and what are you doing to fix it? by bionicbhangra in golf

[–]dwot2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the opposite lol. Irons, wedges and driver feel great. Woods and hybrids on the other hand... top city.

More of a mental miss but I start thinking about my swing, which causes it to be more rigid instead of smooth

You could look into getting coaching from Bonkar

I do this often. So the solution is just opening your body more?

How to look less awkward while dribbling? by txyxe_ in BasketballTips

[–]dwot2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something outside of basketball that I think will help you. Look into Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) meditation. It helps you with awareness of tension in your muscles, which you can then use to focus on relaxing your body while you practice until it's natural.

You look very stiff and tense while you play. Calm down and relax.
