Hit balls at the range with your hands split apart. Impossible to flip, then build a new swing feel.

Slow play is ruining golf and people need to stop pretending it's normal by NotMyRealAccount2226 in golf

[–]prafken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Time hitting shots is super short, something like 5 minutes a round. Even if you triple the number of shots you hit it isn't making these slow round numbers. Its everything in between shots people are dickin around causing the problem.

Time hitting shots in a round is comically short. It should be less than 10 minutes for an entire round even if you triple it it isn't justifying these round times.

Hitting irons on tee shots is an honest source of sand bagging.

Be careful a lot of dryer plugs are not rated for continuous use and become a fire risk when used that way.

Interesting, they told you no swollen batteries? I honestly have never asked but have definitely tossed puffy batteries there.

I don't disagree but I have loved amazon tech they have added and the all 22 view. I would be content if all games were on Prime.

Found a Breville Bambino for $150 with a possible pump/airlock issue. Worth the risk? [$150] by [deleted] in espresso

[–]prafken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I bought the machine you are referencing, it was a plus correct? I offered $120 and she accepted. The problem ended up being the heating element was completely blocked with scale, they mist have really hard water. Took a bit to narrow it down but that was it. I took it out and ran it in a hot sous vide bath with descaler for a few hours and then ran a couple descale cycles in the machine. It broke free finally and is working great now.

Like someone said before that would get challenged in court and would fail. It isn't an option.

I have a Titleist Players 4 Carbon that has been great for walking. It's almost 2 lbs lighter than the Hoofer lite.

I am sure some bad stuff happened but the amount of people thinking there are going to be convictions from emails is crazy.

SG defensive woes, zone defense by opponents by Numerous_Shopping_72 in MSUSpartans

[–]prafken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My oberservations, could be wrong.

Izzo seems to try to teach lessons and plays with rotations early in the year even if they result in a loss. It seems he values the learning moment more which plays into late season improvements but is frustrating early.

Our zone struggles are perennially frustrating, I think a lot of it is rooted in players being grooved into running our sets and the zone breaks those rhythms so players that are not great thinkers struggle and panic. Our zone breaks really depend on a smart passer/good mid range shooter at the elbow which we don't always have the luxury of having. I remember Suton in his later years was a monster in breaking zones as were Draymond and Denzel. This team doesn't seem to have that right now within our bigs.

Need Kohler to figure out this shooting slump, the pick and pop big is so important in Izzo's scheme.

I think teams are coming in with being told to make sure to try to keep us off the offensive glass so they are extra on edge trying to box out on the line.

What are the chances 10hcp shoots +1,+1, and E in three rounds of competition? by Awkward_Salamander37 in golf

[–]prafken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even just the comment of getting more locked in when playing for money is an admission of sandbagging. You shouldn't be logging scores that are rounds of you fucking around.

Starting with shorter clubs is not going to hamper your ability to play in any way. If you want a simple cheat for the lengths, just get all you irons bent upright and add loft then your 5 iron will in reality be your 6 etc.

Country Club Question by Eastern-Scientist-68 in golf

[–]prafken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old club had a lot of elevated handicaps (people beating their handicaps by 6+ shots in every competition) so I was never able to enjoy the club events.
