MD/VA/DC Golfers - Ten Seconds or Less

[Boogs2]

Right of first refusal on FW.

 

To be tested:

 

D - '17 M1 440, Epic SZ (w/ '16 M2)

FW - '17 M2, Epic SZ (w/ '16 M2)

H - '17 M2, '16 M2, Adams Red

 

Would love to see what you end up with...the 2016 m2 was on my radar just cause it was cheaper and I put the weight back on the m1 anyway, but I have always been tempted with the 430 m1 and now the 440 m1

Bridgestone True Balance. #hived. I think it's a great putter for certain people. If you like a counter balanced putter -- this is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE. It's all head weight. I think the swing weight is F0. No joke.

 

I believe it, but again, I was shocked at how not weird it felt when I tried it one day. It feels pretty normal.

 

I guess it's because the lie angle is so upright, it doesn't feel as odd to have so much weight in the head of the club. Like, if you had a driver with a swing weight of F0 it would feel like you were swinging a damn sledgehammer.

 

You pick it up and think its going to have some sort of bizarre feel. Heavy head, sort of reminded me of the old Heavy Putter but in reality IIRC the headweight is pretty normal.

Great TV shows have mostly supplanted movies for me. Quality has been so good the last few years, and I still have a handful on my list of things I need to watch. Westworld was easily one of the best things I've watched on TV or in the movies in years/ever.

 

Completely agree, we have a half dozen things on our watchlists that we havent even started and a bunch of other shows that we want to get into. Like Sneaky Pete on Amazon, watched the pilot a couple weeks ago before the whole season was released, got completely sucked in.

 

Shows like Goliath are great, we watched it over a couple nights - way better than going to the movies.

 

I will say its hard for me to dvr/watch a regular series now where you arent getting 8-10-15 episodes that you can watch all at once.

 

Goliath was awesome. We really enjoyed that one.

 

We watched The Fall recently too. Also a good show.

 

We have not watched Sneaky Pete. Will have to check that one out.

Depends. A sledge hammer has a high swing weight and a high weight. If you made a driver with a normal head, but a 20g shaft and 30g grip, it wouldn't feel like a sledgehammer.

 

This putter has a high swing weight but low overall weight. Total weight is like 400g compared to about 540g for a normal putter.

 

But, yeah, it's not like earth shatteringly weird. It's not like it's a whole other animal.

[siegel159]

And I could name 10 shows I want to watch (Narcos, all the MCU shows on 'Flix, Goliath, Sneaky Pete, Transcendental, Sense8, etc etc ) that I know I'd like except there's going to be 10 more shows coming down the pike.

 

Sense8 is probably my favorite show from the past year or two. It started off a little slow, but the more I watched the more addicted I got. The only thing it's missing is laser swords

[FAbb]

If you made a driver with a normal head, but a 20g shaft and 30g grip, it wouldn't feel like a sledgehammer.

 

I think it would. A higher swing weight driver is going to feel a lot heavier than a higher swing weight putter. Belie dat.

FW - '17 M2, Epic SZ (w/ '16 M2)

H - '17 M2, '16 M2, Adams Red

 

Good stuff. Definitely looking forward to trying out the 440. Liking my SZ so far but I want to do some shaft tinkering and also want to try the regular epic head. I think you'll like the SZ though.

And although I loved The Force Awakens, I was really "meh" on Rogue One. I kept hearing how amazingly great it was and meh, it was good. Maybe I need to see it again, I dont know. Because I seem to be the only one that thought that.

 

 

I hope you guys just liked the nostalgia of seeing it, because the overall story of The Force Awakens was IMHO opinion pretty weak.

 

Lead X figher dude: "Yo Finn!"

Finn: "Sup!"

Lead X dude: "We just met like 5 minutes ago, but do you know how to blowup that Starkiller Base thingy!"

Finn : "Sure! See those capacitors there! You just shoot those things and the whole planet blows up! Its weird how engineering missed that flaw!"

Lead X: "How we gonna get those defenses down!"

Finn: "How bout me, Han and that furry dude go in at the speed of light right to the planet surface and take em out! Its a whole planet full of troopers, but the 3 of us should figure things out!"

Lead X: "Alright! Sound like a plan! (To other X fighter pilots) "Aight! Lets do this $hit!"

City how gross does the foam on the BTBP get after continuous use?

[SullGolf]

I think it would. A higher swing weight driver is going to feel a lot heavier than a higher swing weight putter. Belie dat.

 

Don't belie dat. Belieing dat is illegal now according to the USGA. Get with the times.

[eagle1997]

Eagle is this a good deal on the Z Stars?

 

https://www.rockbott...-balls-3-dozen/

 

They're yellow but brand new / $50 for 3 dozen = @ $17/dz?

 

yes, very good obvi. i bought that ammo box during thanksgiving because i wanted yellow balls for fall golf and to match an outfit i had in mind. they're new srixons, but bulk packaging. put it in my cart when it said $50 with free shipping but didn't pull the trigger. came back the next day, and it was $40 with free shipping. bought at that point, $13.33/doz with no tax and free shipping. redonk deal.

 

thought about buying more the next day, but they were sold out at that point.

[TheCityGame]

City how gross does the foam on the BTBP get after continuous use?

Slightly discolored, but not gross. It doesn't soak up sweat or anything and it hasn't shown any signs of damage, and I am NOT careful about my equipment. Matter of fact, I think it's worn better than a rubber grip. It's not really "foamy" it feels rather solid, actually, but very light.

 

I'm not going to get into the materials science any more than the guy here, but it sounds pretty legit. https://www.Not allowed because of spam.com/bridgestone-true-balance-putter-review/

 

Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. It’s an extremely elastic material that can be sintered to form a porous material similar to rubber, yet with excellent toughness. It is three times as flexible as low-density polyethylene (LDPE), showing tensile elongation of 750% with a peak melting temperature of 250°F (96°C).

This material has good barrier properties, low-temperature toughness, stress-crack resistance, hot-melt adhesive waterproof properties, and resistance to ultraviolet radiation. EVA has little or no odor and is competitive with rubber and vinyl products in many electrical applications.

Do you have any left? Intrigued enough to give them a shot but want to try them before buying 3 dozen.

[SullGolf]

i wanted yellow balls ... to match an outfit i had in mind.

 

I just wanted to make sure no one missed this. Love it.

do i have any left? who am i, david30? i bought 3 doz. at the end of november. i've played 3 full rounds and a couple practice 9s. i've lost 2 and 2 more have graduated to my shag bag.

 

yeah, i think i've got some left. of course you are welcome to have a few for testing purposes. :)

 

btw - puppet sounds like he has a few too, lol.

 

 

note: the "match an outfit" line was a test. only city & sully passed. i have yet to wear said outfit.

Yea... we have a wildlife officer who works out of our district office in MoCo. She was telling me about this deer on Tuesday. She and 2 other guys went up Wednesday morning to dart it. Everyone missed, deer ran off. Again on Thursday, everyone missed. Now it's hit the news so they can't just end it's "suffering".

[SullGolf]

In 4 attempts no one could dart it?

 

Is there such a thing as a firing range for dart guns?

 

I bet Officer Gill would have nailed that thing center mass right in the heart.

I heard they couldn't dart it yesterday because it was too windy.

 

Didn't stop me from throwing darts.

 

They're calling it "Jug Head" on the news. That tweet in Bango's link calls it a "barrel" like he wanted to eat a barrel of pretzels.

[eagle1997]

So I saw the 15 off 75 ebay thing and checked on a Bridgestone true balance putter. Found a mint one from global golfon sale with a make offer, made an offer of 75. It was immediately accepted, and I was pumped. Go to pay (all on my phone) and accidentally paid before applying the f****** code. Paid $75 instead of $60.

 

it's fine. with all the bet $ you got coming in, i'm sure you're still ahead.

I definitely felt a little better after seeing Fabb made 3 on 10.

I'm watching some of the TV coverage from yesterday. Did anyone notice the logo on Phil's sweater? It's him in his awkward white guy hands up pose. T.i.T. needs to get one of those.

Hahaha. I haven't seen the news articles about it. I guess "too windy" is better PR than "we missed".

 

She was texting me last night about the failed attempt. I coined it the pretzel stuck buck.

 

Sully, they kind of do have a range:

Its his Masters "jump" - its fantastic, I really wanted one.

Ohhh she is quite accurate.

I have strongly considered this.

[2moreTerps]

sometimes i read posts about TV and movies and wonder where they find the time and definitely think about how superior i am for not wasting time on tv and movies. then i remember i bought a second TV for my garage so i could watch college hoops on the roku while i hit balls. #judgemental
