Did not see that draft coming, 6 QBs in 12 picks, obviously Penix at 8 being the biggest surprise. Also no secondary run at receiver some predicted toward the end of the first round. Also side not 10 minutes is so long between these picks. Taking over 5 hours to draft 32 players is too long. No one is watching that long. Trim it down to 7. I know they need time to talk about trades but still feels like too much time.

Good morning all! @sirchunksalot good luck with the car repairs, and @Woodrow72 I am sorry to hear about your friends I wish them a speedy recovery. Things got changes up so actually got out for my second round yesterday. Got 13 holes in before I had to head back home. It was a beautiful afternoon. Short game still needs some work and driving was hot and cold. Couple holes the drives really set me up a couple more it cost me strokes. Still was great to get out there again. Looking forward to the weekend. The wife and I have a data afternoon planned tomorrow to likely go hiking. We have committed to making sure we get at least 1 date a month and so far so good. Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!

Good morning all! Cold morning right now at about 26 F so a nice strong frost this morning. Feels a bit late for it, but hopefully the next couple mornings get some of the bugs and keeps them at bay a bit longer. Yesterday some small silicon oven mitts that just cover the fingers. Our 2 year old absolutely loved them and kept them on for almost and hour pretending they were puppets or that she had claws. It was hilarious. Have a great Thursday everyone!

Yes it is a long cardboard box just as requested

Well that is a streak right there! Time for a lottery ticket too!

First round with the lighter shaft last week was a great find. Was able to control the ball better, less curve once I got in a groove and if anything was moving the ball more right to left than fading it like I normally do. I am loving that change so far. I hope this continues and the swing speed picks up as confidence and the season gets going. Was a cool windy day to start but should be warmer the next time I play. Love all the experimentation that goes on in this thread and the sharing of the results.

I agree that you would think given all the time they had that you would want to tighten things up and do more like a voice over with player commentary throughout, and those overall commentators just setting the scene and context as it relates to players across the course.

They all need work I mean maybe minus Andrew Luck in recent memory and yes there is a huge difference between college open and NFL open which is why accuracy is so important. I do agree though that Chicago seems to have a decent team around the QB unfortunately it is Chicago so you never know what might go wrong.

That's some hard work to get that done and I am sure it payed off. I also look forward to seeing how it looks. The old app seemed pretty decent to me when using it so if it is improved it must be really nice now.

I agree Maye is plenty athletic and ran more than you might expect in college. I want the Mahomes style run like you said too. Only when necessary and usually as a back breaking third down pick up when the defense just loses track of space. Still think if Maye is like Allen there is strong bust chance, Allen's first couple years he looked rough before rounding into form but it could have gone the wrong way. Sad truth for the Pats is the odds are 1 maybe 2 out of these six QBs will be good/starters in the league. As with every year a lot of predictions will be wrong, such is talent evaluation.

Loving the results so far. As someone who moved from the Mizuno HMP to Edel SMS Pro after a test last year. How is forgiveness going for everyone? I found that there is for sure a bit more penalty for my toe strikes with the Edels but it was not by much and I think the weight towards the toe I could move helped. It looks like the Haywoods have a longer blade length than many CBs or MBs has that helped in the forgiveness department? Keep up the hard work!

Love to hear that things are getting rolling and that the fittings were in for folks. As a tester of the Epic Max LS a few years ago now it is always interesting to see where the next generations go

Those look great hope they work well for you too!

Reminds me of when Brian Scalabrini was the 12th man for the Celtics and everyone said how bad he was and then he did a series were he played the local Y type players and just absolutely destroyed them. Even the end bench players in pro sports are likely the best athlete you would ever meet. I have a friend down at UNC for his masters in athletic training and he is working with the soccer team and he said the level of training and performance for that team is crazy to watch. And most of those players will never see a professional field. It is a level of physical fitness which I do not recognize.

Learn something new everyday, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the kind word. I feel I could clean things up a bit but that is always the way

We are going to ignore all this nuance thank you very much

Right to the point where there really is not a DII in college hockey, three is one 10 team conference, so whoever wins the conference can technically say they are DII champs.

Nothing wrong with that. Personally, McDavid right now is my favorite player to watch. The skill is just insane.

Meanwhile in NH it is predicted to have lows of 26 and 25 the next two mornings. Plenty warm by afternoon but frosty starts

There are so many QBs this year that could go in the first round so it could be a wild round for sure with teams moving all over the place. Soccer was never my sport, but I like the other two. Though hockey makes a bit more sense up here in NH. I went to a hockey camp with a kid from Texas who was a very good player. Not to get off track but does this make you a Stars fan?

The throwing coaches and changes are insane and it is so true that even the best are working to get a little better. I remember Brady in the past working with Tom House on his throwing and at the time they were talking about how to get him to be 1% better maybe less. Its that adage about finding a bunch of tiny spots where you can get 1% better and how at the top level that can make so much of a difference where everyone is so close to maxed out on performance.

If you do I think we need a video of it in action

Not sure which system is better. Trying to predict the talent of 12 years olds that you are trying to develop and the kids moving around between the lower age teams. Or somehow having our education institutions filling the role of developmental league for many sports. Hockey still have a number of players in Canada and abroad that skip, though some get drafted at 18 and then still get to go to college for a few years before entering the pro leagues which is also pretty wild.

Pats have big decisions to make and I am terrified of them all. @GolfSpy_KFT we are hearing all the same things but I am fairly confident no matter who we take next year will be rough again and if we get very lucky maybe in year 2 if we get the QB in this draft things will move in the right direction. DeJean seems like a dynamic player that would be a good fit given Green Bay's needs.
