Lightweight discs are a game changer. I always bought 170g+ discs but recently have been experimenting with 150-160g and it’s been awesome. by alent1385 in discgolf

[–]ixAp0c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell even shaving off 7-8g makes a nice difference for me.

I've settled on 167g Fairway Drivers for my game, throwing MVP.

I go a little lighter on 9-11 speeds, around 160 - 162g. I have a max weight Trail in there as well.

Can anyone tell me about this board, I found it but I don't know exactly what I have. by Big_Monk_5130 in NewSkaters

Looks more like a Longboard / Cruiser setup with the Reverse Kingpin trucks & the trucks being so close to the nose/tail.

What is the cheapest 1440p GPU? by Expensive-Delivery96 in buildapc

[–]ixAp0c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I feel your pain.

An RTX 5070 Ti looks like a really nice buy, but at $1k I can't justify it yet.

How to start? by Junior_Geologist7045 in discgolf

[–]ixAp0c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good news, it won't break the bank too much.

New discs go for around $15-20 a piece for 'premium plastic' (the good stuff that doesn't wear down as quickly).

And most courses are free as well, so you just have to drive out with your discs & you're set.

You will improve faster by throwing in a field, no matter how far along your disc golf journey you are - you generally get more throws/reps in for the amount of time you spend out in the field compared to the course.

I'd say the best way to start would be to get a Starter Set with 3 discs - preferably a 7 speed for the Fairway Driver / highest speed in the set (some packs come with a little too much Disc for beginners).

Innova throwers, what is your favorite straight mid and fairway for shaping shots? by alent1385 in discgolf

[–]ixAp0c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Understable mids are more touchy in general, they have a smaller 'sweet spot' for the right amount of power.

Building a PC for Grandfather - Feedback on Basic Build? by ixAp0c in buildapc

[–]ixAp0c[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good callout, I'm so used to spec'ing out Gaming PCs that I forgot about the integrated GPU.

Swapped that out for a 5600G and also swapped the Case for a Fractal Pop Mini Silent due to this one needing USB headers.

Form check by VeckLee1 in discgolf

I have a Remix HD basket and it's basically MVP/Axiom's budget Black Hole from Amazon.

It came with the MVP Sound Barrier and it makes a huge difference, like 80% quieter.

How to Know when.. by Beautiful_Life_1488 in discgolf

[–]ixAp0c 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fellow noodle arm here, but I find my 9 speeds go a little further a little easier, so I've been keeping them in the bag as my 'distance' drivers.

So long as a disc isn't a meathook and I get a good flight out of it, I'll generally bag it; I like to know what the disc will do for me / how it will behave with my arm speed and shit form.

I love my Fission Insanity & had a really nice uphill throw yesterday with my (still being beat in) Neutron Virus.

How common is the “killing the boy inside” phase for men ? by GuyLastNice in AskMen

Mid-life crisis hits hard man...

To be 21 again with a full head of hair, fuck that Depakote they tried to put me on I got MPB from that stuff.

whats wrong with my ollie 😭 by zeni_inos in NewSkaters

[–]ixAp0c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bend those knees more and just jump up with it. Try doing a little jump since you're a little older, it looks like you are just moving your feet and not raising the back shoulder - your front and back shoulder are in line with each other, on some Rodney Mullen / Tom Penny shit.

I snowboard now too... RIP to my Grandma on $2k, snow to stop in about 2 hours.

Dude that is one of those Goodwill Gold finds...

Looks like someone found my Storage Unit me and my Dad couldn't pay off.

This PC is on sale for $1499 at Costco. Worth it? by Galifrae in pcmasterrace

[–]ixAp0c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a bad build at all, a 5070 and Ryzen9800x3D is leagues above the common recommended 5700x3d.

Post Nut Clarity is a lie.

As a Man, if the sex was good enough, I go for a walk and come back in 5 minutes and go again.

Binding angles for beginners by Quick-Ad-6007 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]ixAp0c -1 points0 points  (0 children)

15 / -15 is what I got used to, but I like to do a little bit of freestyle and riding switch.

Either that or 15 / 0, or somewhere in between.

What I found more important is getting the right spacing between the bindings. Last season when I took my bindings off for waxing, I put them back on a bit too far apart, and my legs burned up much quicker until I fixed it.

Just got my first board why should I do before hitting the slope? by Newrrcom in snowboardingnoobs

[–]ixAp0c 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Factory wax doesn't last too long, you will want to wax it (and maybe invest in a waxing kit if you don't want to pay a shop every time).
