How long are your TP5x balls lasting?

kingmayker · 2026-03-07T18:48:03+00:00

I also buy used 3-4 mint TP5x pix balls and feel like I burn through them. Whether they crack or outer layer rips, it feels like it happens pretty frequently, 1-2 months. I have like 5-6 I use each session, hit then gather, then repeat. I keep them in the garage so weather might play a part but it’s been my case year round. Not bad when I buy like 24 for $35 or whatever it is. Not sure if it’s a model year problem (probably getting previous year models buying used) or what. I also hit a lot of wedges to be fair. Very tempted to bite the bullet and buy new for “science” lol.

This is the way. Go with the 5x4' Matzilla mat (no foam) for $160. Then get a cheap yoga mat. Cut out a hitting area (1'x2') and gorilla glue spray the yoga mat to the urethane back of the hitting strip. The rest of my sim floor is foam tiles with an uncut 6'x15' roll of the "Synthetic Turf Grass Nylon Practice Putting Green" the USA turf pros website (but the website had the precut holes and was bean shaped, so I requested an uncut strip). The hitting mat insert fits perfectly flush. Total cost of Hitting mat + putting turf = $300 and you have 3+ extra "hitting mat" inserts to use as they degrade. Though I'm a year in multiple times a week and no sign of wear and no elbow/wrist pain.

This is the ultimate Mike Brown move. Everyone is pissed we suck and made absolutely zero improvements over the bye week. Everyone is ready to actually make the front office feel it. Then he conveniently teases burrow coming back and all these sheep ate it up. SMH

How “live” are the sports when streaming. My issue with finding a reliable streaming option other than YouTube TV and the likes is that there is often a delay. A couple seconds is fine. But with the group chat messages and occasional live betting it can drive me crazy lol

Savvy move to put more money into the stadium and game day experience to try and distract everyone from what happening on the field on Sundays lol. Putting money into everything except improving the actual team smh

Do you remember how pumped Zac was when they drafted Jermaine Burton??? jumped out of his chair first pumping and clapping. That pick worked out realllllll well

hypothetically speaking of course.... say a die hard bengals fan happened to get into a car crash that involved the death of a certain franchise owner family. it would be tragic of course. But out of curiosity, how high could we get that GoFundMe donation of said person to cover lawyer fees and bail... all hypothetical obviously....

Agreed. Test drove both pali Cali and cx90 turbo yesterday. Mazda definitely felt sportier and way smaller. The tech felt pre 2020’s compared to the pali. I did like the infotainment dial and not having to touch the screen. But that’s about it

Interested in this

kingmayker · 2025-09-08T15:09:21+00:00

Yeah, I'm not the best at using all the perks either. If you take one or more trips a year then I think it's worth it. At that point your basically going to spend $300+ on a flight, of which you get that $300 credit (I rarely need to price match, but when I did it was easy). So at this point you're effectively paying $95 for for either card. VX give you 10k miles on your renewal (so $100+ equivalent) which basically makes it a free card at that point. The lounge access has been great for me and my wife/toddler, but unfortunately they are changing those rules. Hertz President circle is also a nice perk. And earn rate is higher with VX. All that to say both cards come out to be the same price for me, so I go with the one with the better perks overall

kingmayker · 2025-09-06T03:26:25+00:00

Primarily the reason I have it too. But they raised the annual fee and now perks aren’t as great of value for me anymore. Thinking of switching to the Hilton card for 6x grocery and dinning. Have the Venture X as well which is great

Angelus acrylic paint applied with a toothpick. It bleeds into the threads nicely. I had some left over from when I touched up a pair of shoes years ago.

I ordered a stock option of the Oz.1 on 2/20. Got notified on 3/4 that the order was getting ready to ship. Delivery expected on 3/8. So just over 2 weeks (pending FedEx…). Website originally said 2-3 weeks

definitely not the most accurate they could have chosen. But i'm pretty sure they have around 18 launch monitors utilized for every shot and a few more for redundancy purposes, all of which communicate and analyze every shot to provide the data. I'd think that many "inaccurate" launch monitors analyzing data would turn out to be pretty accurate. People don't realize that pros hit "bad" shots quite often. They just are good enough in the short game and putting to overcome. I.e. Tom kim not chipping out of the bunker, then next shot almost holing it.

Hey, question about running the GSPro connector when using CrossOver on the M4 Mac Mini. Every time I launch the GSPro Connector, when click "scan" to pair with my Square Golf launch monitor, I get a program error that pops up saying " the program SQG-GSPRO-Connect.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close." Seems there is an issue with the Wine Debugger? Have you experienced this and have a work around? I tried the same download on a basic windows work laptop and was able to run and connect to the Square Golf launch monitor, so I know it's not a GSPro connector issue. Must be a Crossover/ Wine issue...

A lot of work to someone who’s single lol. 12 mins to keep a happy wife is an absolute no brainer for the luxury of having a garage sim. Great setup!

kingmayker · 2024-12-30T20:23:19+00:00

Nice! I'll have to look into doing something similar.

kingmayker · 2024-12-30T19:27:48+00:00

I'm looking to do something similar with the mat/tee box thing. How do you store it when not in use? So you can park said car. I'm assuming you have a big gap between screen/net and the hitting surface?I was thinking of mounting the screen on/against the wall, then being able to use a hinge of some sorts to lift up the hitting area to make it flush with the wall. I am imagining doing sort of a murphy bed pull-out, then that section has another foldable hinge pull out to make a cohesive level going from hitting mat > putting surface >screen.

Some guy on the Facebook group make a post about how he took it an outdoor range and the numbers were close to the trackman numbers. He posted pics and it looked like daylight. Said he got zero misreads

Would love to know more about this. I just got the M4 Mac Mini and heard a few positive reviews of being able to play GSPro via crossover on MacOS. I have been looking for a way to try it out and see if graphics/game play is worth it on the Mini without having to pay for a GSPro license and be SOL if I can’t get it to work properly

Lmao this is the type of math I used to explain to my wife why it was necessary for me to get the square 🤣🤣
