That's nothing. Google China, train, new year and look at the images.

Yeah... I might get a motor bike if I go there. That looks horrible.  I'd be so stressed/pissed off at everybody around me. I'd almost have to drink and drive.

Okay, looking at the photo more closely, I take back what I said because this is pretty epic:

I've experienced 10 - 2 maybe 15 - 2, but that's like what, 40 - 4. Seriously, I'd shoot myself by the time I get to that bottleneck.

These are provincial and border crossing areas. The normal traffic jams are about as bad as the 101 freeway in LA. G4 is the worst road in China. I totally gave up driving there. . .

I took this when I was in Shanghai a few years back. When the traffic light changes, everyone just keeps going. This wasn't a bad one either.

that explains why bicycles are preferred mode of transportation for the majority of people in China.

One of the downside of economic progress, I guess.

Yes! I have said this about Chinese taxi drivers for the last 12 years. A red light is merely a suggestion that you might want to consider stopping. Many near death experiences, including a collision with a guy on a bicycle with 5 chickens on the back in a cage. They argued with each other for 5 minutes meanwhile I wondered off to another taxi.

Give the police ticket quotas like we have over here and you'd see their problems come to an end real quick. I'm now picturing a Chinese cop rolling up in gold plated squad car. :-)

At least they obey the speed limit! The drivers I've had in China will not go over the limit. Now in Poland, slowing down to the limit is a sigh of weakness!

That's because it's so congested, they can't! :-P

      Driver Ceiling Mistery

      By klineka ·

      I mean it seems like this is your issue, yeah? If you're already at or near a 1.5 smash factor depending on which launch monitor then you're going to have to increase your clubhead speed if you want to increase your ball speed. (Assuming your launch conditions/delivery are also near optimal which it sounds like they are) Are you actively doing any speed training programs like The Stack, Superspeed, etc?

      Would You Rather…?

      By klineka ·

      Anyone can cherry pick a green shape to fit their narrative.  Now do the same thing but for this green that has an extremely sloped hill short, so good chance to roll back to the water, and mounds long that kick long shots OB. It's like a 175yd tee shot too.    Or this one. Where the approach shot is from 200+ yds with a severe slope towards the water and very tightly mowed sloped runoff behind the green.

      By p1n9183 ·

      In a normal 30x20 green, a left/rigth 15 yard miss is going to be missing the green, probably in the bunker. A short/long 15 yards miss is still going to be in the green. Scoring average is always going to be lower if you have 100% GIR. Unbeatable.  I love this tool I created. Is an spreedsheets that calculate the scoring average of a dispersion in a certain green with the flag you want.   I set both dispersions in order to score as low as they can in this Par 3 from 150 yards, in this case avoiding going into the water.   Option 1: Scoring average: 2.96  GIR: 59%   Option 2: Scoring average: 2.79   GIR: 97%

      Driver Ceiling Mistery

      By p1n9183 ·

      3 years ago I made a Driver fitting. Started with my on course speed and was almost 150 ball speed. I tested a lot of drivers and went after them with all I had reaching 160 ball speed.  In the last 3 years I improved my swing and now my on course speed is around 158 but no matter how much I force the issue I still cannot hit the ball faster than 160. Not even when I hit the ball perfectly in the middle and gave it all I have, the numbers are never more than 160.. 161. Club speed also is stuck on the same number. On the other hand for every other club in the bag I also started hitting it farther with the new swing on course but I'm able to gain 6..7 miles of ball speed if I go after them. As an example, I'm around 121 ball speed with my 6 iron but I can muscle it to 128 without much trouble and also club speed jumps 4..5 miles.  Any ideas?
