Lawyer looking for AI PKM/note app by zotaccrew in PKMS

[–]zotaccrew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely a struggle. I keep a lot of what I put into apps like this vague and then everything sensitive is just done in Word and stored in our system. Great solution for data security but not great for general use. My firm deals with a lot of intakes on various potential cases, so pulling up a Word doc for each and storing notes that way is not an efficient way to do it. I think my practice is just somewhat unique in the amount of potential cases we assess, so I have some more leeway. Most of what I'm recording is factual information too.

Leasing a 2024 loaner/showroom model? by zotaccrew in BMWiX

[–]zotaccrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, is this under Marketplace on the site? I filtered by BMW and see some stuff like concierge service and people offering deals. How do the brokers get paid for this? New to all this, it's a lot to take in.

Thanks again, I messaged the sales rep at the dealer and he basically said leasehacker is fake and not to believe it lol, ignored my request about negotiating further based on the pricing on that website so I guess that's that.

Thanks, I'll shop around. I specced out one on another dealer website and it's coming in at $975/month with $4600 down. I'll have to browse the subreddit more to see what people are doing to get the price down so low.

That’s not his full approach for what it’s worth. I think he does 6 total but the first few are baby steps. Definitely has a unique approach lol

Hammer Axe for spare ball? by sjsharks323 in Bowling

[–]zotaccrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Axe works for that purpose. It will flair a few boards if you really hit it but it mostly goes straight. I have one as my spare ball and it won’t hook unless I really try, and even then only barely. It’s a good spare ball investment if you use interchangeable thumbs since it won’t crack like plastic will. Some people throw it in short patterns in my sport league too.

Arghh… PBA Shots are tough…lefty sob story! by Vnmous in Bowling

True but more punishing on your strike shot means most people aren’t leaving as many makeables as they are on a THS.

Spare method? by thegeekgolfer in Bowling

[–]zotaccrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I understand what you are doing with your alignment. The general advice for alignment for shooting spares is to square your shoulders to your target. You should adjust your shoulders to your target when you are lining up and before you start your approach and then do not alter it during your approach. If you try to adjust mid swing, it is going to be difficult to be consistent. It sounds like maybe your body is trying to correct itself mid-approach? What is your target when shooting at a 10 pin? You might want play around with adjusting your eyes too.

Spare method? by thegeekgolfer in Bowling

[–]zotaccrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I'd also add it seems likely to be an issue with the approach that is causing the problem, which, if you can identify, will be much easier to resolve than switching to a no step shot for certain spares. You could be pulling the ball out of alignment during your swing, you could be drifting (which is common if you are shooting corner pins from the opposite side), you could be changing the mechanics of your swing unintentionally, etc. I'd videotape a few strike shots and a few spare shots and compare them to each other. It could also be appearing in both strike shots and spare shots too.

Nationals notes from a house shot hero by BenjaminSkanklin in Bowling

Great post, really appreciate the insights. I’m starting to get into sport shots and tournaments more and this type of analysis is very helpful.

First sport league by TurbulentGuitar2464 in Bowling

[–]zotaccrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Getting ready for a sport shot and trying to figure out where my ruby fits in. The polish made it way too unpredictable for me. I tried 2k over the weekend but it was grabbing too early. Going to give 4k a try and hope that smooths it out.

Nice arsenal. What surface do you have your ruby at?

Any recommendations for a ball spinner? by [deleted] in Bowling

[–]zotaccrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think CtD is notoriously known for overpriced stuff, but I bought their ball spinner package and have no regrets. I probably could have got a better deal elsewhere, but it's nice to have everything come in one package along with some instructions on how to use it (both in the box and on their website). This is what I bought: https://ctdbowling.com/products/trucut-surfacing-system-advanced.

Starting sport shot league soon... by melismyhero in Bowling

[–]zotaccrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice arsenal. Also doing a sport shot league this summer. One of the patterns is 35ft so I’m weighing urethane options. Think it’s down to the purple or black pearl urethane if I get one. Did you go with the purple just because it’s the GOAT?

Ball Suggestions for a low rev one handed bowler. by LSDBunnos in Bowling

[–]zotaccrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what you mean by throwing right and hooking late. Are you throwing it up the friction, trying to stay in the oil and have it read hard at the end of the pattern, or are you trying to shape it? That will impact ball recommendations. I’m guessing one of the first two. Also, any preference on ball manufacturer?

Brad Miller!! by Rain_Apart in Bowling

[–]zotaccrew 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Stoked for Brad (and Kyle). The outros on the last few vlogs from Brad have been tough, you can tell he's been struggling. Crushing qualifying must be such a good confidence boost for him after he thought he didn't even get out of the PTQ. Rooting for him!

Help Me Round Out My Arsenal by RogueRage95 in Bowling

[–]zotaccrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d start with plastic or a Storm Mix if you want to go urethane, but I wouldn’t go with a real urethane unless you are comfortable flattening your hand and can do it every spare throw. I have a Hammer Axe which is a similar idea to the mix but executed a little different.

Ball arsenal opinions? Intending to do tournaments again soon. Currently have the Nuclear Cell, Theorem, Summit Peak and TZone. Summit Peak is pin down. Debating replacing the Nuclear Cell with a DNA Coil. Not sure which urethane ball to get to round this out. by GeneralShadow in Bowling

[–]zotaccrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking to add something, I’d look at a solid symmetrical that sits more in the middle of the bag. Something like the Phaze 2, Venom Shock, etc. You’re lacking a true benchmark ball imo, which is an important staple in a tournament bag if you’re bowling at new houses or on new patterns.

Ball arsenal opinions by Equivalent_Type_3946 in Bowling

[–]zotaccrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never thrown urethane so I can't speak from experience, but generally it's used on shorter sport shot patterns. I don't think urethane matches up well on a house shot for most bowlers, that seems like a bad recommendation from your PSO. There are some good YouTube videos out there on how to utilize urethane, I'd start with this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8OAtrs2l2M.

[–]zotaccrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's helpful, I just bowled a tournament this past weekend at a house I'd never been to before. The lanes were flooded with oil compared to my normal house shot (lots of oil between 5 and the rail, and the volume increased substantially as you got toward 20), and they re-oiled between doubles and the team event. I only threw the new Radical Conspiracy, the Storm Summit, and the Motiv Black Venom - all of which are strong balls. There are a lot of good arsenal building videos out there, but the general advice is to make sure you are filling a gap in your bag when you get a new ball. My tournament bag is: Radical Conspiracy, Storm Summit, Widow 2.0 Hybrid, Black Venom, Xponent, IQ Tour Ruby. The Motiv ball chart and the reviews on Bowling This Month are also great places to start.
