Photographer and filmmaker Dustin Farrell spent the summer chasing lightning with a $110,000 Phantom Flex4K high-speed camera. What resulted was this 4K short film, titled “Transient,” that shows the epic beauty of lightning in 1,000fps slow motion.

I've always loved watching thunderstorms blow up over our area, even since I was a kid. That despite my Dad making us hide in the basement! But, he lived through a tornado in his youth, so I suppose it's understandable.

Had to chime back in. Reminds me of something one of the astronauts in One Strange Rock said about observing the Earth from the International Space Station. They remarked that they were impressed with how violent this planet is! They could see lines of thunderstorms marching across the planet, and witness the lightning.

      Ricky Bobby (Driver) vs. Shivas (Irons) - Who Wins in a Year?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Woof - fascinating question. So I think it’s a question of whether it’s easier to transition a good iron swing to the driver or a good driver swing to the irons. Speaking personally (which is really all I have to go on) I’ve typically throughout my life been a better iron player but my driving has improved massively lately with my iron play getting a bit worse.    I think it’s probably easier to get your irons better if you’re a good driver than the other way but I’d say it’s pretty close. Took me years and a lot of work to get my driving better again. But I’m about 60% certain if that. I’d be very unsurprised if I’m wrong. I would obviously defer to people who’ve seen both and worked with both.    I’ve heard both sides of it. Driver being longer means you have more time to fix stuff, but you have a smaller margin for error because more side spin to back spin with driver so it moves more if your impact conditions are off. Can also get away with more variance in club delivery with driver (since you have a tee) vs iron where ground impact is very destructive. I suspect at the end of the day the answer really is “it depends”.

      Ricky Bobby (Driver) vs. Shivas (Irons) - Who Wins in a Year?

      By iacas ·

      Imagine you have two players, identical as they can be without this being a parallel universes type situation, and both are… let's go with 9 handicaps. They're both 30 years old, no physical limitations, etc. One, we'll call him Ricky Bobby, is comparatively a great driver of the golf ball. The other, let's call him Shivas, is relatively a great iron player. Let's say their short game and putting are identical, so their "Create a Player" stats would look something like this: Driver (Ricky): OTT - 80/100 App - 50/100 ATG - 65/100 Putt - 65/100 Irons (Shivas): OTT - 50/100 App - 80/100 ATG - 65/100 Putt - 65/100 This kind of assumes that maybe 65/100 is a 9 handicap level Create a Player. Now, here's the question: If both players put in an equal amount of work with an equally qualified instructor, in a year, which player will be shooting better scores, and why? You also get to assume they only work on the full swing, and their short game and putting remain a constant 65/100 (or they both go up to 70/100, or whatever, but it isn't a differentiator between them). To put it another way, Ricky Bobby and Shivas play 10 matches over a variety of courses at the end of the year: who wins the total match? Why? I have an answer, but I'm going to hold off on sharing what I think for a little while.
