I dealt with this.. the biggest improvement for me was switching my grips. I switched to Jumbo Max in my size and it changed everything. I was gripping too tightly with standard grips which caused all my fore arm muscles to stay flexed instead of relaxed, this put more strain on the connective tissue. Especially with ground impact.. Fat shots felt like my arm was about to be ripped off.

enclosure is 8 x 10.5 so screen is slightly smaller. My hitting mat is not dead center either for the same reason. it's right of center by about 5-6 inches. I just don't aim at the flag on the screen and instead use the lines on my hitting mat to aim. You use the computer to change aim anyway and always hit straight ahead.

The enclosure is DIY so no quite as good as a Carl'sPlace. Used EMT from HD then bought the fittings, black fabric, screen on Amazon. put my own eyelets in the screen and used 6" bungie loops. The pads I bought fake leather from hobby lobby and wrapped gutter foam from HD using gorilla glue. I was going to get turf but had an old rug in the garage that needed to be thrown away, so using that until i get turf.

The LM is SkyTrack and the projector is Optoma. Running with a laptop off to the left which is enough to run Course play with medium graphic settings. Mostly use the practice mode anyway.

yes, my garage is messy.
:lol:

What it needs:

1. gambling - get FanDuel, Barstool, etc.. involved
2. Ring Girls / Cheerleaders - Just some way to get hot girls holding hole cards or something.
3. Let people at home play the hole on their own simulators while its going on with GS Pro or other software, ie.. have the course available to download day of.
4. Tweaks to the game play which will happen.

I just saw this get all these months ??. Love them. My favorite I’ve owned of a long list of Ping, TM, and Callaway.

I got fitted for the shafts using P790s. I have the Axiom red graphite
BR Sewer is way worse. It's tacked on your water bill but not for BR Water Company.

They re-average your bill every 6 months BUT only UP. They will continue to charge you the higher rate even if your usage goes down.

They base their bill on your water usage not what you actually run down the sewer, so you are paying sewer if you are watering your lawn, etc..

If your average goes down you have to call them to adjust down and they will only do it if your 3 month avg is down.

So if you fix some running toilets, call them back in 3 months while they continue to charge you the higher amount for 3 months.

My last water bill was 25 for water and 150 for sewer. Ridiculous.

Ninja on my 7 wood, stock on the rest

I was in your exact situation beginning of this summer also about your age as well.. Was still using my R7, which by the way is still one of the best drivers ever made, and decided to upgrade. I tried the Ping, Callaway, Cobra, and the new TMs.. I tried the QI10 for about a week.

I ended up with the Sim 2 Max which is a couple versions back for Taylor Made, last one they made with a titanium face. Its the closest feel to my R7. I ended up putting a evenflow riptide cb on it in regular flex, I was using a stiff on my R7.

I also had to go down from 10.5 to 9 degrees. I was launching all the new-tech drivers way too high with 10.5.

Also you may want to ask wherever you get it to cut it down for you, the new shafts are a good 1 to 1.5 inches longer than the stock TM R7 shafts.

Played it a couple times since they punched. It was awful for a week or so, but its getting better now. I played Tuesday afternoon and it wasn't so bad. There is still crabgrass on the damn greens on certain holes though.

I was between these and Takomo. I ended up going with Takomo. Both are direct to consumer, so priced about the same. I just saw more positive reviews for Takomo. Did a ton of research and watched lots of vids.

I been having them about 2 months and love them. Most forgiving club i've ever played. I can hit a toe shot and it still flies straight, might lose 10-15 yards though.

I agree here, can't go wrong the the QI10 Max, I have that in 3W, but my 7W is a Ti Bubble 2 with the orange head :lol:

Just can't get myself to take it out of my bag.. It's my 180-200 club that launches high and lands soft.
There are a few colliding issues...

1 - The market is more visible thanks to social media, so women in general of low and high value all want "high value" men. The standards become illogical / borderline delusional. This leads to the few HV men having their pick of the group. He's not going to choose a LV woman.

2 - Women and Men value different things..

Women value stability, security, and looks.
Men value looks, consistency, youth, and purity. Men do NOT typically value a woman's careers / success / money. It typically has no bearing on who a man chooses to date.


Modern Feminism had emboldened young women to go through the hoe phase as many have stated in this thread. Women have always been the gatekeepers for sex, so number of partners for a man has always been viewed differently than number of partners for a woman. When they are finally ready to settle down, they have typically lost both their youth and purity.

I've heard a very wealthy buddy say "I wouldn't pay $300k for a used Lamborghini" and its a pretty valid analogy in my opinion.


3 - Almost 80% of all divorces are initiated by women. Want to see something crazy, compare traditional divorce rates to Lesbian divorce rates.

"The sign of a mature man is a certain scar he bears: the memory of a perfect woman never won, or of a once-true love forever lost. However much he may love you, he is only here because she is not."

Mine passed in 2014, so almost 10 years now. The first year or the "year of first" as many call it was rough. Even after 10 years the storms happen but the reactions are way more subdued.

I explain as it as a radio that is always on in the background, at first the volume is 10 and that's all you can pay attention to.. as time goes on the volume slowly drops to where you can pay attention to other things with occasional brief spikes back to 10. Eventually it'll get to 1. It'll always be there but low enough where you can ignore it if you choose to.
In Texas, if it can be proved he was drinking at a restaurant or bar, that establishment is responsible. They are supposed to limit each customer to a "responsible" amount but they never do.
Nobiles in Lutcher rivals Middendorfs for thin catfish. They also have a buck of really good options on the menu
Looking to see if any of the usual suspects have started boiling in BR.

Cypress Landing has really good food, it’s on the Summit exit. Used to love the Caboose until it closed, hopefully it re-opens.

They did this to my 12 year old right before Christmas. Had really bad sinus infection with a double ear infection, went to 2 urgent care docs a few days apart and both told us to come back in 10-14 days if he was still sick as they would not provide antibiotics until them. Well 5 days later, he was much worse, to the point it sounded like he had bronchitis. Went to a third doc who finally gave him Augmiten. He recovered in 3-4 days once on the AB. It was quite ridiculous.

I think they want to see if you can fight it off yourself before giving you the meds instead of giving them out right away. They knew it wasn't viral.
