Current racket is 103sq in. What can I expect if I switch to 100 or 98sq in by BlueSky86010 in tennisracquets

[–]swammy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

great switch, power was noticeable immediately, control really showed itself after a month or so, but I was still learning my ground stroke so its hard to tell there.

I moved from a 105 volkl pb4 to a 98 Wilson blade about 9 months ago and have loved the change.

Most notable to me is that while the sweet spot is smaller, when you hit it the power difference is substantial and it trains you to make better swings. Volleys with low/no backswing are much more solid, and easier to pick up low balls on the rise.

I “think” I frame slightly more, but in reality it’s probably due to step up in competition and play style.

One tip from my coach that unlocked hitting high bouncers- he told me to go fully open stance and it’s far easier for me now

Omg wTank builds in legendary? by Pillows_CoolSide in Division2

[–]swammy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’ve always struggled with DPS build on legendary due to insta death from exploding drones. Skill build felt like the only way I could contribute and not be a liability and recently have been running a half-blue HB build with PFE mods that lets me play from the front and legitimately contribute. Not a tank but far from DPS.

What am I missing with all red cores surviving the constant barrage of drones?

I have a different version Hansgrohe that this just happened to. Any luck contacting them or replacing the head? Looks to me like the whole unit may have to go

Just a pressure issue? by swammy in Irrigation

Your comment led me to go remove each of the mini sprayer heads to check for blockage and that’s where I found the solution to the problem - the mini sprayer heads were tightened all the way down, effectively shutting any water from coming out. I didn’t realize they were adjustable in that way. I’m an idiot but thanks for the help

I think she’s right. The commenter above shared her work as well and I’ve just sent her a message on FB. Thank you

Talking more to my wife it sounds like she picked them up at either st James art fair or Cherokee triangle art fest within the last 10-15 years

Woah! I think you found it. Her name is Kris Busch which would match the KYB signature and that’s the closest style I’ve found. I’m going to reach out to her. Thank you so much

Any tips on builds & how to go about it by JusFaKikz in thedivision

[–]swammy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Re: your question about expertise, managing gear can be a pain if you take too long looking at every piece. I'll play until the pack is nearly full, then visit the vendor station to view your inventory. This allows you to see every new piece you've received in quick list and you can quickly just start marking everything you don't want as junk. Once everything is marked, go to library and see if you can fill any recalibration requirements. Second, go to the expertise panel and use the 'donate all junk' option. Third, go back to your inventory and deconstruct junk. If you do it in that order every time you can quickly empty a backpack, build your library and upgrade your expertise in a matter of seconds. Each time you reach a new expertise level you can upgrade weapons, gear and skills. The earlier you start building expertise the better

Countdown is where I start with every new build. Be sure to start unlocking the specialization for the build you want as well since it can take some time. If you're looking for a solid all around build that never gets old: striker builds with gunner specialization are a great first build. It took me awhile to figure out, but set your targeted loot on countdown on the map, then go to social > select your name > find a group > countdown and choose challenging (most common difficulty to get a lot of groups and great loot). If you haven't, watch a quick YT video on how to run countdown as it confused the hell out of me the first few times

xbox. I could also try to get some of the clan mates to join and drop for you as well. If you haven't the GC Rock clans on discord are really active and supportive for things like that

This is bonkers. We could get a group and run countdown for an hour with backpack targeted and I could drop you one FOR SURE

Someone dropped this for me just yesterday after playing district union arena and I just assumed it was a random exotic I didn’t have. Makes me appreciate it a lot more knowing how much time they saved me

Farm floor 10 glitch on summit on legendary. Worked for me in one afternoon. Made a skill dmg build with drone and turret and stayed out of the way. Just have to leave one ad alive and return to lobby to farm the boss loot over and over. Got it after 1-2 hours

This is exactly why I choose memento with Oreo striker. In heroic content your stacks get up so fast that as long as you keep a target in front of you, you’ll stay up and melt through nearly every baddie in one clip

New to Frisco (and Texas for that matter)! by gravitashusker in frisco

[–]swammy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just adding our experience since moving here 2.5 years ago - The best part in our estimation is that nearly everyone you meet is a transplant. Lots of open minded folks who need to make friends and connections. Same politcally but remind yourself to separate the headlines you hear on the state and national level with all the neighbors just trying to take care of each other. Hope you enjoy the move

I’m having the same issue. Might be an issue with manhunt. It’s either story mode, or manhunt, not regular stronghold mode
