    Not going to lie. I think doing my video was actually something that helped me later that day I made it. I was called upon to give some reasons why the club I’m a part of is important to me. After watching my video and seeing how it wasn’t the best, certainly not the worst, I was way more relaxed. So it helped a lot cause I hate speaking in front of my peers.

    I will make a good video for this to show why I should be considered.

    Wheelieb got a reaction from CudaKota66 in Shaft Hack - The Otto Phlex Journey   
    I’m actually going to say that I find this really interesting, and was about to go on my own trip of doing this myself and posting my thoughts in the forum. I just wasn’t going to compare it to the Autoflex as you did. For that matter, I hadn’t been up to date with the videos you posted in the very first post and I’ve been watching those guys since 2020. What made me want to do a similar experiment was I went to the golf store here, and one of the guys swapped out the stock 65g tensei shaft in the paradym driver I was hitting, cause I said I didn’t like the weight, and put an older Aldila Tour ATX Blue shaft that was maybe 58 grams still a stiff shaft and I noticed an uptick in swing speed, carry distance, and total distance. I’m around a 108-111 mph swing speed, yes I was fit for my driver. The launch monitor at the golf store was getting my swing speed between 110-116 with the lighter shaft. I’m going to try and see if I can find a light shaft again and hit it in the paradym to see if it was just a fluke, or if I really am hitting bigger bombs. Good read and I will have to post my findings as well.

    Well, if you haven't figured out by now, work is my second passion. It's like when the plastic won't let go of you after peeling it off of something. Only when you are truly through with it does it finally come off. We can apply this to work, as it is the end of the day where you truly can just leave and go home. Anyway, today is actually not going to be bad. I get to go prep for a shooting event, so all eyes will be on me to make sure all the weapons are good to go. Teaching people how to shoot is always interesting, and that's why we do dry fire exercises. We will see how that goes in the coming days. No practice today or this weekend as you guessed it. We have the drill weekend for the reservists. not so fun.

    Wheelieb got a reaction from Michael.Sandoval33 in NFL thread! What are you thinking?   
    I can respect that. Watching our GM take defensive guy after defensive guy after defensive guy in the first round besides Love has been aggravating. I guess you don’t really need first round offensive talent if you do your homework on players. Building a young core is cool, but man, I’d have loved to get Smith-Njigba, or Flowers, or even Addison last year. But no, best we got was Van Ness. Don’t get me wrong, our young WR’a did way better than I thought. I’d just like to get a superstar now

    Wheelieb got a reaction from Preeway in Debate: Golfers Don't Deserve Free Relief from Fairway Divots   
    In the league I played in two years ago, the course was getting ready to be sold so there were plenty of divots in the fairways. We were told at the beginning that "it was discretion of the opposing team if free relief was to be granted". Some divots were deep enough that a ball was barely visible, others were only a little bit of grass was gone. I feel like that was fine. If we are going out to play recreationally and no money involved, move your ball because we are not Tiger.

    To drop a hint is I am very excited for the variety of tests. From clubs to tech to other we have just a really cool lineup built and committed already... And we still have much of July and August to fill in.
    Come for the testing, stay for the community.
    We know testing is the big draw, but I hope we see a lot more get the bug for the forum and deeply involved. That's my hope.
    It should be a lot of fun, but it's also just a portion of what we have to offer here.

    For the 100th comment - I won't even say why I should be. I'm very grateful to be in the position I'm in and to have received the opportunities I have. They are so much work I am actually quite picky about things now as I want to ensure I'm excited and put my all into every opportunity.
    I love the excitement for those who are selected and how stupid happy they are. 
    This year will be exciting and I hope of the 80 plus who have posted here you check out the guide on how to be a tester and reslly get us to notice you!
