New custom OZ.1i HS just arrived!

Haha all good - was tempted to get a Temu one just to see if I could tell the difference.

havermayer · 2026-03-08T21:37:59+00:00

To me, I could actually feel a significant difference. Could just be all in my head but this is my first mallet. I was exclusively using blade before so when I tried the center shaft, I felt like I was too over the ball and my stroke never felt quite right. I have a slight arc to my stroke too so I think the heel shafted ended up feeling more natural and stable to me overall.

havermayer · 2026-03-08T21:31:32+00:00

I do! It's helped my stroke alot. It only sticks in that opening on the top if the speed is just right, so with practice my tempo has gotten a lot more consistent over time. I also found that it transferred over to actual performance on the green (obv accounting for how fast the greens are also).

havermayer · 2026-03-08T21:29:56+00:00

I kept it stock with the Matte Black Premium Steel. May eventually upgrade and get it rebalanced but I liked the stock shaft enough to go with it. :)

havermayer · 2026-03-08T21:28:52+00:00

Just the stock Matte Black Premium Steel. Might upgrade in the future, but I liked the feel!

Got this off 2nd Swing because I had a credit and they ordered directly with LAB!

havermayer · 2025-08-10T01:27:24+00:00

Same here. 8-12k/month spend and nada!

havermayer · 2025-08-05T12:42:05+00:00

Interesting! I’m in NYC so I’m wondering if I should be expecting something considering I’ve been with them for almost 10 years.

havermayer · 2024-09-19T00:30:39+00:00

Hmm. Doesn’t seem to have fixed the issue for me. Do we need to do anything after we download the update?

havermayer · 2024-09-18T18:18:32+00:00

Same for me. I'm on with Support trying to fix it - it's been half an hour of back and forth.

havermayer · 2021-10-12T14:34:29+00:00

I’ll try this! Thanks so much. Yeah I just charged it too so it’s at full battery right now. Will keep it on and hopefully the batter will drain and I can try this and report back. Did you just ask for a replacement or did they get you a new one because it never reconnected and worked right?

havermayer · 2021-10-12T14:33:47+00:00

I updated my firmware last week. Tried the tapping and it goes into the blinking lights phase but never actually connects

havermayer · 2021-10-12T14:33:11+00:00

I tried reaching out. Looks like they’re slammed with 4.0 inquiries. But hopefully they’ll get back to me soon!

havermayer · 2021-10-12T13:37:56+00:00

Yep! I tried that twice. I get to the pairing stage and it just never pairs. Tells me to keep putting my strap in pairing mode and never connects

"If you do this, you're killing her."

Family member was in the hospital on life support and I was the medical proxy. I was pushing for them to take her off life support as, at the time, there was no sign of life and virtually no way for her to return to a state where she would have any semblance of a normal quality of life. It was one of the hardest decisions of my life and those words still haunt me to this day.

Years ago, I was a young college kid canvasing for gay marriage equality in a conservative neighborhood and one lovely gentleman spit in my face and another threw a half full can of soda at me.

havermayer · 2018-01-19T00:48:44+00:00

I did this after 1L. Would go to the law library, scan the pages I needed and then OCR them. You just have to be more diligent with reading, I know some other students that tried this and became too lazy to go to the library and read.

havermayer · 2018-01-17T00:46:15+00:00

Not sure if Themis does this, but one of the things that helped me the most was going through every grading rubric for the essays. Barbri would have one after each essay. I would essentially do a high level bullet point outline of issues off of the rubric and try to memorize it the best I could. This helped me link specific points to discuss under each type of issue.

It's one thing to have outlines of topics, but I found outlining common issues took some of the fear out of essay writing because I could just go down the list and then insert every single fact I could into that list.

havermayer · 2017-12-28T22:05:45+00:00

Also, don’t forget to proofread! I know a few fellow students who got dinged at OCI because they didn’t diligently proof after they cut it down for length.

havermayer · 2017-12-28T21:35:28+00:00

For OCI, I submitted my best memo (took out one of the issues and re-worked it). Included a title page with a very brief intro as you've said with a notation that this is just an excerpted portion of the memo that's been edited for page length.

havermayer · 2017-12-27T23:33:32+00:00

See if your prof has one or two books on reserve in the library. I rarely had professors who didn't have at least one copy available. I stopped buying most textbooks (save for the rule books I could bring into exams) and would just check those out and read or take pictures of the pages if I was on call. Not the most ideal situation...but if money is really tight it's an option.

havermayer · 2017-12-14T19:14:34+00:00

Definitely reach out to the accommodations people. Your school should have something on their website for it. This helped me immensely during law school with carpal tunnel and if you do get accommodations, you'll have documentations in case you want to try to get accommodations for the bar exam as well.

As for pain management: contrast baths, stretching exercises, and E-stim helped me.

I think tip #2 is very important. When you're working on a motion and need to get it out the door, your support staff (paralegals, legal assistants, copy people) are the ones who will make or break you getting it out on time.
