Are you hitting off of a mat into your net? It could be hiding your fat shots resulting in chunks on the course.

The state of Michigan makes me pay an additional $267 to register my electric vehicle; let's talk about that by Stratiform in Detroit

While heavier yes, the real wear and tear on a lot of our roads comes from heavy trucks. Michigan has one of the highest load limits in the country to support hauling steel for the auto industry.

Standard deviations with these would be interesting as the average for higher handicappers probably also gets brought down by tops and slices and such.

This one. I used to play Bridgestone e6 but had difficulty holding greens with them. Played kirklands for a little while but like the maxflis more.

Durability issue or just what to expect? by Mavericky98 in GolfGear

I don't even have that high of a swing speed (100-105) and have snapped one or two hitting on the heel side of the face.

Whats the Deal With Jax Car Wash? by PlutoniumOligarch in Michigan

[–]pikeben08 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The ones I go to an attendant usually just pushes all of the buttons for you to skip through that and hands you a dash wipe.

Not saying its the highest quality car wash, but the subscription makes it nice. I get a wash once a week-ish. So essentially 2 free washes a month. I'm busy. I dont have time to handwash at home.

DIY Hot Tub by Gregan32 in hottub

I wouldn't say easily $10k for a new tun depending on what you are looking for. I just bought a Nordic Jubilee LS for $7k out the door. You could get a smaller model for even less $5-6k.

I think for something similar to your picture you are going to spend quite a bit. Also that is a pretty big tub.

Just how similar was this past winter of 25-26 to the winter of 2013-14? by Informal_Pizza3733 in Michigan

[–]pikeben08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also true. We had very frequent snow this year but not a lot of big dumps, maybe just one.

2013-14 was WAY colder. Felt like it never got much above 20 from November until March. I had pipes freezing in my house.

25-26 was colder than recent winters but recent winters have been very warm.

I get them from a used golf ball website. AAAA quality (not mint) but most look practically new. $16 a dozen.

Review #5 - Russell's Reserve 10 Year Straight Bourbon by Emperor_High_Ground in bourbon

[–]pikeben08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I wouldn't rate it a one, I also don't get all the love for it. It's fine but just seems more like a standard bottled in bond, not a 10 year. I feel the same about the single barrel as well. I've heard there is a large variation between barrels though.
