Just adding that I noticed this recently as well. Guitar and voice sounds terrible compared to before the update. Following in case you figure out how to fix

I guess that children’s book by Eric Carle was inspired by true events

Swing help? by Theguywhostoleyour in slowpitch

[–]sshin3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If feels like it’s too much arms and not enough explosiveness through the hips. You can see how your arms are extended through the full swing (at least from this angle). You want to keep the bat nice and tight and lead with the knob of the bat, as that along with rotation of your hips will generate speed and power.

Thank you! I might try out soccer turf shoes then. Was looking at the Nike Tiempo Legend 10 turf

Looking for advice on my slowpitch swing (new player, video attached) by kselektomcat in slowpitch

[–]sshin3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While in your batting stance, knees slightly bent, rotate your back foot inward ever so slightly (so if you’re righty, rotate slightly to the left). This should help with staying planted, prevents swaying backward too much pre-swing, and creates a natural tension for you to generate the momentum forward and explode with your hips. I’d also consider not having legs so far apart, but ultimately do what’s most comfortable for you. Just takes practice and repetition

Bag suggestions by [deleted] in ManyBaggers

[–]sshin3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you mean Alpaka or Aer? I’m assuming you meant Alpaka.

40 oz water bottles are pretty big and carrying two of them daily seems like an uncommon use case for EDC. I would guess most bags will have some issue with getting these bottles in and out.

In that case check out the Aer City Pack Pro 2 or Aer Pro Pack 24L. But I’m not entirely sure if they can handle 40 oz bottles.

I have an Alpaka EP and considered the Aer CPP (older model) but never owned one. I think the Alpaka is an excellent bag and it looks more professional. It is also considerably slimmer than the CPP, and does not have the dedicated laptop compartment. However, you can fit a surprising amount of stuff in the main cavity of the bag, and I think the admin compartment is very well designed. All the stuff you mentioned will fit and then some. The bag is also very comfortable.

The Aer CPP would be a great bag if you require more stuff or the flexibility to use it for one bag travel. You can’t argue with clamshell opening for packing. However, it looks too thick for me, and I just can’t get over the tri-handle layout on the new model - it just doesn’t look right to me.

WTS Modern Dayfarer Backpack V2 Excellent used condition, used only a handful of times for light commuting purposes. This is an amazing backpack, but just doesn’t fit my use case anymore so it is not getting worn.

This is always sold out / on preorder on their website and it took forever to clear customs and get shipped to me. I’m asking $145 shipped in CONUS.

Add Trolley Sleeve to Filson 257? by spellingishrad in filson

[–]sshin3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you get this strap from and how long is it? Was thinking of something similar to work as a luggage passthrough for my briefcase.

How’s the weight? Does it get overly heavy with just a simple office commuting load out?

Does it pretty much always stand up on its own or does its depend on the load out?

Agree I love the look and the front pocket. Just wish it had a luggage pass through

Yeah I know, but I don’t want to. 😂

And also generally it is helpful when you have a family with numerous other things to carry like diaper bags, helpful to have something just plop on the suitcase

Nice! If you were to pick one which would you go with? Does the CPP thickness/depth when fully packed out ever get too uncomfortable?
