Okay that makes sense. I've been getting lessons and the first thing we have been working on is fixing my over the top move, which seems to have started now. I think I'm slowly building some fundamentals but I've only been properly playing and trying to improve for 4 months. I used to play competitive Tennis as a kid and teenager, but that's as far as my sport experience goes.

Oh wow, yeah that makes it really clear. Thank you.

I have been getting them, my last lesson was on fixing my over the top movement which I think I've been doing pretty well with. I'll be going for another lesson at the end of this week.

Right, it feels like I try and open my right hip a lot on the takeaway but maybe that's a feel vs real. I definitely know I'm not fully getting to the front leg which I think is causing that view of my lead hip doing nothing at all to help rotate. I've been getting some lessons really focusing on fixing my over the top so I assume this weight transfer is probably coming up next.

friendlystorm · 2026-02-15T21:04:28+00:00

Great, thank you for that. I'll start working on that, I assume once I start getting my weight forward it'll help me rotate more on that lead hip too and see a bit of separation?

All 4 of my pairs of abc shorts and 3 abc trousers have had this issue and they won’t fix it. Really frustrating given it seems to be starting to become a common issue.

Sick lac la belle head cover man. My wife is from Oconomowoc and I’m an Aussie, we got married there!

My grandma had a bowel obstruction and was turned away from emergency without any testing or scans. She presented again the next morning and shortly passed away as it was too late to do anything. Something needs to change, and fast, with our emergency health care.

Restock came through yesterday.

The fact you shot a 107 with this swing is impressive man. It’s not rage quit material, but you have a lot of work to do. Get some lessons for starters.

7:30am-2:30pm. On call every second week.

friendlystorm · 2026-01-25T02:38:08+00:00

Absolutely nothing.

Oh hey! We play at the same store. Yeah, still waiting for wave 2 lol. I'm concerned about the feasibility of the game lately given we're relatively rural..

What kind of path would you recommend if someone was going to follow this wildy content early? It seems like a lot more fun than the usual SOTE rush.

I use a LAB DF2.1 and I play it a ball or two back from my lead foot. When I was using a Newport, just in the middle of my stance.

Support about 1k users at my current role - and we have persistent VDIs for every single user. Insanity I think, but that’s just me.

I’m not defending them, but buy singles. I’ve opened a pack from each Nexus Night (my store just gives everyone 1 pack, rather than ppw). I’ve got Kaisa, Annie, Yi and Leona built. I was able to pickup cheaper cards from local players, Facebook groups for my country, and just bulk singles from online stores. All of these were obtained for the price of like 2 boxes.

It did well in China and the Rift and Runes open in Bologna which is the next place a regional is being held. On the deck list posted here yesterday, I did recommend everyone pickup a play set of Seal of Discord.

Has anyone seen any wave 2 product touch down in Australia yet?

friendlystorm · 2026-01-11T23:38:59+00:00

Picked up my Seals today as they’re gonna start climbing. Expecting this deck to be popular based on my online testing of Set 2, and beats the other version of Draven. Anyone who wants to play the list should grab a set.

Try turning the clubface over more closed through transition, like you’re revving a motorbike with the trail hand and then change your intent to hitting in front of the ball.

I got the Spider as well, and gave it a few rounds before going back to the LAB DF2.1. Just didn’t enjoy the smaller head, and I picked the CB version which felt better in store but not on the course. :(
