Elegance? Really? Fog security?

That makes some sense to me. Alarm trigger is bringing police / security so time is of the essence for a crook. If they can't see, they can't operate quickly and flashlights aren't any better in fog than overhead lights. If crooks bring a big fan and open a door to blow out the fog, much less effective.

But you can't see either. So now there's you and a bad guy in the house and you can't see each other. I guess the outcome is in your favor since you know the layout of your house, but it depends on what kind of defense you have at your disposal and your strategic situation/location. If you have no defense, I guess he will just thrash around while you have to hunker down and hope he doesn't find you. I just wonder about if you are a gun owner and a family member comes home late or otherwise unexpectedly sets it off...

Aren't most burglar alarms for setting when there is no one home? I suppose you could have a special setting that disabled internal motion sensors and just had window / door sensors?

I thought this is a home defense product. So it's a mouse trap type of system designed to trap the perp with no one else home so that cops can catch him? Now, imagine you're a LEO opening up the door to a wall of fog with movement inside... yikes.

If it took you a bit to get used to autonomous cars (remember that first time when it's supposed to brake and you're wondering if it will and it does but you still freak out?), here it is, the autonomous drone.

I would say it's designed to get perps to give up on the burglary attempt in frustration. Probably disperses by the time LEO is expected to arrive - or I suppose they could just open a door and wait outside a bit?

I'm guessing a 80-100 yard wedge is going to rip right through an umbrella?

Um, so you can practice that 90 yd 3/4 56* to a pin 20 ft from the back edge of a water hazard and make it real I guess...weird.

There's also enough steel scaffolding to build a skyscraper.

The second one is great. Something about the original seems faked - if it was that icy I don't think he'd recover like he did or the shovel sound as 'scrapey'. Maybe he was drunk.

    • Day 5: Hit 10 balls with 6-iron; neutral grip, centered turn + weight forward feel and also keep head behind ball.
    • Yup, sorry, not my rules, but rules are rules.
    • Ok, so going to get this posted, out in the world.  I haven't posted as much because of work life balance being s*** right now. I have this project in NJ (sorry @billchao, but NJ is a giant pain in the a** 😉) that is just sapped all my motivation for most anything else. My bowling league started up, so that is taking more focus.  I plan to start working out again, again NJ project, since I haven't worked out consistently in like 6 months. I also will start practicing golf again here soon. Time to get some indoor work done, and the golf course near me has a trackman you can rent out. So, I plan to hit some over the winter as well. 
    • Yep, I think the biggest issue is the carbon fiber.  Carbon fiber is not good for high impact due to it being brittle, and there can be catastrophic failures. If you consider something like bicycles, where the frame can be carbon fiber, but they usually have a beefy suspension system to take the shock. Carbon fiber is good in tension, not compression. It is bad in compression. It makes no sense to have a carbon fiber golf club that is subjected to both tension and compression on a golf strike, especially off-center hits.  Ping is using carbon fiber on top of the club at the back half of the crown to lower spin. It is probably in a place that wouldn't see much of the compression/tension from a mishit. Also, the bottom half of the club is metal. So, it is pretty rigid.  The Paradym Drivers have like 80% of their club as carbon fiber. The back weight distribution design is not connected, by metal, to the front part of the club. I can see if you mishit it, and that 20% metal starts to twist, it will create a section of the carbon fiber under compression, and it will crack.   Also, here is the tech description from Callaway on their newest driver... "The 360° Carbon Chassis has been refined to promote increased weight distribution. By adding an internal titanium support structure, the Carbon Chassis is now 15% lighter*. This mass is redistributed into the head to improve launch conditions and add forgiveness. Each Forged Carbon sole features a unique color and carbon pattern, making every piece one-of-a-kind." This sounds to me like they saw a large number of failures and added better material for more support, but they framed in a way to sell the club. 🤣
