    Why is the OP being bashed? He is doing a review on the inconsistency of the product sizing and how the company moderates reviews.
     
    We all applauded when MGS got Callaway to get its ball act together when they gave it a negative review because of bad manufacturing.
    LinkSoul should get their act together as well.

    xxio got a reaction from Rickp in Scotty Cameron putters sweet spot?   
    There is a looooong thread on this at the other site. Maybe 10 years ago?
    Based on definitions in the SC site. The site line is an alignment aid. Site dots mark the sweet spot.
     
    So it is possible to have a dot not in line with the site line.

    So you disagree with the soft is slow notion propounded by MGS?
    I even remember them posting a video on IG(?) asking a Titliest rep about "soft is slow" and the implied answer was it is.
     
    Personally I don't have a horse in the soft is slow race. I have played soft compression balls as far back as the MC Lady. My favorite balls have been softish tour balls.
     
    I am interested in the 20 AvX because it is basically a better feeling and slightly longer BX which is my ball of choice. It just lacks a little greenside spin.
     
    They just can't tease me with more greenside spin but then take it away softer, which some say is slower.

    My point was, that does this mean that this newer version is slower than the original.

    xxio reacted to FrogginBullfish in Joker   
    Expecting people to go into a movie that is adapting a character that has existed for going on 80 years in print and other media without any pre-conceived notions on the character is just not possible. Nor should they have to.

    I'm all for reimagined takes on things, but the most crucial part of any reimagining is that it maintains the essence of the original. Joker does not maintain the essence of its character.

    If a filmmaker isn't going to stay true to the essence of one of the most iconic villains in the history of comic books, he shouldn't be using that character in the first place. Create an original character instead.

    I'm not advocating for picture perfect depictions of any character adapted from the written word, but I also don't think it's too much to ask that if someone wants to adapt a character that they do everything they can to capture the character's essence.

    Tom Cruise works as Jack Reacher in those movies because they capture the essence of the character. Unless a character's apperance is a defining characteristic of who they are, I don't expect every adaptation to be picture perfect. All that matters is that the depiction of the character be true to its source. This is where I feel Joker failed as a comic book movie.

    But that's not the only reason I disliked the film. This film easily could have been made as an original story entirely, with no connection to any comic books whatsoever, and I still would not have enjoyed it because I truly disliked how it handled its subject matter.

    These are, of course, just my opinions and I know many have enjoyed the film. It's not my intention to take away from their enjoyment of it either, I'm just not one of them.

    Comic book movies are very near and dear to me. One of my hobbies is writing for a comic book blog. I spend a lot of time with these movies and just wanted to share my feelings on the film.

    Seems to be a good film. Just not "the Joker". 
     
    As a huge comic nerd in the 80s-90s, it seems to me a lot of comic turned movie scripts seem to go along this path of veering away from the comic storyline. DC moreso. Justice League and Batman v Superman were such a warped combinations of several plots into 120minutes. 
    For comic geeks, the Joker is just as iconic and "sacred" as Batman, Superman, and Luthor. DC destroys another one.

    Just made an albatross with a ball that was last made 10 years ago. I borrowed a sleeve from my dad for the round to help him get rid of his dozens of new 10 year old balls.
     
    I guess I don't need new tech 🙂
     
    I do prefer bridgestone B330x BRXs for consistency in most conditions

    I would think the softer core balls would compress inconsistently at a 115mph swingspeed.

    Don't think I didn't think that her level of commitment is not there right now so I'm keeping it light with only one day a week practice plus the tourney round (don't want to push her to the point of her viewing it as a chore). She only plays six out of nine holes for the tournament before she's rotated out.

    Just a different point of view.
     
    I have never had Scors but I had 2 sets of Cobra SS Forged. SS=skid sole. A very similar grind to the Scors.
     
    I noticed when chipping the ball would react differently than with non skid sole. Yes it was definitely more forgiving on the chunky shot but it also seemed like the ball would roll up the face a little more before it would grab (moreso on those slightly chunky shots). It spun less then.
     
    I have no explanation for it. Just real world experience.
     
    FYI I also use MD2s now and among all the newer wedges those and the RTX spin the most for me.
