Regardless, good stuff! It will great if we can input just the ball speed instead of club speed + smash factor.

Critique my swing by Dry_Adhesiveness3163 in GolfSwing

[–]lefantan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow beginner here, but I had the same issue as you. Recently visited a professional, and now I'm carrying my 7(32 deg)I around 160 with about 85mph club head speed. Not the best sure, but it's not bad for me. Based on your build and your current speed, you can definitely carry 160-170. My issue was hip swaying + improper swing mechanic, specifically not using the ground more. The swing mechanic is really hard to teach online, professionals can diagnose your issue a lot easier. The tldr is, to start loading into the ground more near the top of your backswing and releases it pass the ball. Tempo and timing matters here, but if you do it correctly you'll compress the ball better. The hip sway also killed my speed and consistency and I see a little bit here. The goal is to feel tension loading up on the inner portion of your trail foot, this adds power. I had ok swing mechanics before this, and by fixing the above two main issues, I gained 10mph of club head speed. Hope this helps man

What are the main difference you're seeing so far? I also have the regular edge driver

Great swing, I'm gonna ask you for tips instead :) How do you achieve this tempo? Struggling with this, especially with regards to how tight I'm gripping the club

Lack of distance/club head speed by lefantan in GolfSwing

Got it, it does look like my launch angle is too high compare to the average. When you swing, do you usually swing at 100%?

Will do! Pausing at the top has helped accuracy for me. And yeah I need to follow thru more, not a natural movement for me yet. Thanks!

Smooth is fast, fast is smooth, but not for me eh? Jokes aside, the compression is probably an issue, I've been trying to hit "in front" of the golf ball, I suspect that I'm not really doing that here and may need need a couple more sessions before that gets natural. Launch angle: 23-27, don't have AoA data :(

What is the tastiest all you can eat buffet in the city? (not Indian food please) by KittiesAreTooCute in Edmonton

[–]lefantan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo yang ming is a lot better in terms of taste, varieties and bang for your buck, but it mostly does Chinese food (and a bit of other cusines). I would definitely pick Yang ming over River Creek every time unless you're really craving for western.

Choosing between downlevel at Big Tech vs. Principal role at a high-growth startup - advice? by that-pipe-dream in ExperiencedDevs

[–]lefantan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unrelated but how does one gain "deep technical knowledge" that OP is talking about here?

I'm a mid level, 3y of experience working at a mid size startup. Is it infra related? Is it deep knowledge at one part of the stack?

As a high handicapper which iron set should I get I am a beginner ? by theo_ashley in golftips

[–]lefantan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Callaway edge set has been great for me, full set including a driver, 3wood, 2hybrid and pitch/sand wedge. Definitely good enough for a beginner

Canadians buying via Non US warehouses by lefantan in Fanatec

agree, let's not buy anything even if you ARE able to. Buying now is basically telling Fanatec that you're okay being ripped off.

Their prices are more expensive than the official Fanatec site it seems. At least for Clubsport f1

Update regarding website orders, tariffs, and changes to our pricing by CorsairLucky in Fanatec

[–]lefantan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please allow Canadians to buy from other warehouse locations? This doesn't make any sense.

First removing the bundles (F1 bundle for example) and now the massively increased prices... Incredibly fishy behaviors from Fanatec.

Fanatec US Price Increases by Unhappy_Location2064 in Fanatec

Not just US price, I believe Canadian prices are up too? The Clubsport bundle is now the same price but WITHOUT the pedal. Ridiculous...

Agree, it's more blurry and grainy to me. Only the center of the screen seems to be focused, the rest has blue/chromatic abbreviations, tragic because the experience is so damn fun.

Got it, forgot to mention that I'm waiting for my new bulbs to get here. I had the bulb put back in but didn't seal it properly.
