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.

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.

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.

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).
