re: Weight shift

can’t for the life of me get my weight to shift to my lead foot on downswing.


Are you casting your hands as well? I had to slow way down, slow enough I knew what I was doing and could control my motion. Then slowly increase speed. Im still not at 100%. My hips were stalling and I was casting my hands. Now I focus on a relaxed slow swing. Start with my lead knee turning forward and supination of my hands. Its really hard to cast when you turn that wrist over.

Anyway, video yourself as well. I couldnt get it right until I slowed down and I knew I got it right because of the V1 golf app. Just makes frame by frame easy to look at.

Good luck. Pretty sure it was easier for me to quit smoking than to stop casting and getting good hip rotation. Lol.

We have a nuclear powered Navy and working supply lines. As long as it takes. Iran isn't developing nukes at the current pace. My kid is a Marine, I have no issues with this method of warfare. Ill pay the higher gas bill. Its a small price to pay to keep those psychopaths from becoming nuclear and keeping our boys from going in on the ground.

Unless you have a better plan? All ears.

What’s his plan?


Since you asked an apparently havent figured out google.

Expanding addiction and mental health treatment

Reducing street encampments

Moving people into treatment programs rather than leaving them on the streets

Greater accountability for homeless spending programs

Streamlining permits

Using AI and technology to accelerate approvals

Encouraging more housing development and rebuilding efforts

Tougher policing

Crackdowns on street disorder
Sweeps of homeless encampments

Making Los Angeles "camera ready" again (one of his campaign slogans)

Focus on Fire Prevention
Pratt's message is essentially:
"Los Angeles is too expensive, too bureaucratic, too dirty, too unsafe, and rebuilding after the fires is moving too slowly. Cut red tape, clean up the streets, get people treatment, build housing faster, and make L.A. work again."

Seems legit, little lacking on details, but I dont see anything on LGBTQ+- or safe spaces or fighting mean ole whitey so its got to be better than what they have.
Definitely some supply and demand inflation happening. My neighbor, elderly widowed lady, was going to be charged $150 to change the tailight bulb on her Pilot. I did it for her in 5 minutes.

HVAC company was going to charge me $1200ish to replace the blower motor. I rhink rhat included cleaning the outside coils as well. Cant remember. I got a Carrrier blower from the Jungle site and slapped it in there for ~450 and it may have taken 45 minutes. Most of that was me looming wire because Carrier thought it wise to leave wires running against metal all day every day.

But, I get it. When there are few of them, and tons of work, you can charge more.

Ah, so we are supposed to judge how they vote based on skin color.

Sounds a little racist.
If you are tall, Caymem or Boxter.

If you are shorter fella, Miata will work. Consider an S2000.

Dicks charges like $79 I believe. They waived the fee when they basically told me my swing was an abomination and fitting would not help. Scheduled lessons instead. Glad I did, its completely changing my swing for the better.

And that is culture.

My wife works with ladies who feel the same way when they are repeatedly late, or curse at a child, or threaten to fight another teacher at an elementary school. No introspection that they did is wrong, they are big mad that someone ratted them out.
Sweet, Lousiana can just pass laws to tell the EPA and ATF to get fricked!

This is how stupid the left is. These people are in an elected office in the United States. Blows my mind.

That is correct. The dogs. A study in Austrailia had the hit rate at a measley 20%.

Problem likely isnt the dog, though. Its more likely the lying sack of shite on the other end of the leash.
quote:

Yea that isn’t true


ChatGPT says false hit rate is 20-50% on stops and as high as 60-80% in field tests.

Two other studies had it at 32 and 36% false hit rate.

That is unacceptable for reasonable supsicion. No clue how it is still allowed.

I dont like criminals, but I dont like a police state as much if not more.

This is a fact. You get what you pay for. I would waste less on tech and almost zero on consultants and stupid "programs" and just pay the most for teachers. Pick and choose the best and watch the results.
Buying isnt much better. I messaged several people selling a dirt bike asking to meet so I could see it and that I was extremely interested. Half didnt get back to me, a third got back days later. Only 2 or 3 people actually returned my message.

They did increase the no pay no play to $100,000 from $15,000. Unfortunately the no insurance having lying sack of shite that hit the front bumper of my sons car with his left front tire due to turning left too early got 30k from my feckless insurance company. A bic lighter was brighter than my Progressive attorneys.

Edit to add the accident occurred before the law passed, unfortunately for me.
