Cavs beat celtics, who needs lebron?lol

Harrison is a great linebacker. This is football, and big hits make the league. If you listen to the older players they say that the qbs tried really hard not to throw the ball on the inside where the defense can get a lickin on them. Now the qb throws in the middle of the field all day. The NFL wants more offense and less defense, this year seems to be all about head to heads, while last year was all about qb hits. They always seems to divert their attention to whats hot that year.

Acetone will work, I depending on the project use a rag, q-tip, or soak it in a bowl of it.

I think yes has a better variety, but since you currently have a red x rifle mallets are really good.

You got one of the best defenses the league has every year off waivers. What idiot dropped them? lol

White castle(only been to one once, not many around here), taco bell(open late), hardees (big burgers), KFC (love it).

Nope, maybe you are using the fairway wood driver on the driver? Or vice versa.

That 4% seems to be about average for every stats. The difference in putting from top 20 to top 100 is less than .04 putts per hole. All these players are just crazy good at everything. Makes you think how Tiger was able to do what he did for all those years. One of the only stats where there is a big difference is driving accuracy.

Yes, i am hiding? Just found it interesting ehh.

Found it interesting in the latest issue of Golf that the top 5 GIR players on tour, not one was in the top 20 in scoring average. Also, the top 5 in scoring average on tour, not one was in the top 20 for GIR. Goes to show that GIR isn't that important when you get to the tour. edit. title should be myth of gir

Your Top 5 Must-Haves In Your Bag

Balls, tees, clubs included. 1. Gatorade 2. GPS 3. Towel 4. Silicone spray(Gotta take care of that Scotty) 5. Divot tool(low because a tee can be used as one) -
Aldo is one of my favs, I just hope he doesnt turn into another anderson, his idol. Right now he is still young and humble, not saying anderson isnt, I just prefer a Machida/Nog mentality.

I have bought A LOT of clubs in this past year, and I think it is because I haven't liked any enough yet. You can try irons and drivers, etc.. all you want in the shop, but that doesn't do it for me. I have figured out what type of wedges I like. Check. I kinda like my driver, but wouldn't turn down a great deal on an upgrade. Still not comfy with my irons, might keep them, might not. I like the putter I have, but I like a lot of putters. Its not that I think new ones will make me better, but the current ones just aren't doing it for me. I guess I could just keep the same wardrobe since I still look good in it and they are in good shape, but I still buy new clothes to replace older ones, and yet you see those people who can wear the same jacket every year. Do I look dumb for buying a new one? Does he look bad for not buying a new one? No, but we both are content in our decisions.

Why spoil the fun.lol You did watch the Korean zombie being taken out the only way a zombie can be killed right?

This right here is the only point I am trying to make. The person on bottom does not do everything they can to improve their position. The fighter on bottom stalls just as much as the fighter on top in many cases. The only time I see the fighter on bottom give 100% to improve his position they either get finished or get back to their feet. I see fighters give their backs to a fighter in hope that in a scramble they can reach their feet. They give 100%, not those who just play defense, holding onto the wrists of the top fighter (not trying a submission) hoping for the round to end or a stand up. I am not dogging the guy on bottom for doing that, it is a good strategy, but then you cant dog a guy on top for doing the minimal to not get stood up. Jake Shields didnt try to finish Henderson, but he did dominate him with control and that is an art. Not everyone can control Dan like he did.
-
Yeah but most fights where people complain about stalling it is done in the guard about 90% of the time over other positions. This position is not a huge an advantage for the person on top.
-
I was just trying to get my point across that the fighter on top is 100% to blame. He is not. And they arent going to change the rules to stop that whole heap of a mess of fighters you listed from "lnp" because it is mma. There are 3 ways to win a submission, a t(ko), or a decision, so you cant blame a guy for going in there with every intention to going to a decision, it is a sport. Sometimes it is better just to run the ball up the middle for 1 yard, instead of throwing 80 yard bombs every down. Theres no difference from someone taking a fighter down and doing enough for it not to be stood up, and someone who stands the entire fight pawing, trying to score points, with no intention for a ko. With is a lot of fighters too. You cant make a fight be exciting. The only rule change I can think of that wouldnt make fighters fight extremely different is to make the guard a neutral position. And I didnt say that lighter fighters didnt stall on top, I said lighter fighters dont stall on bottom as much.
-
Still dont agree that the person on top is responsible for pushing the action. They are in an advatage position, gaining octagon control points. When you watch the lighter weight fighters on the bottom they are way more active(probably because it is easier since they are littlier), so the fight doesnt last long on the ground as they are able to get up, get a submission, or get submitted. If the heavier fighters would do more while on bottom people wouldnt be complaining about the ground game being boring. Which to me isnt. The word lnp first meant that the fighter on bottom would just lay there and pray till the round was over, but now that defientition has been angled towards the fighter on top. If the fighter on bottom cant get a submission or learn sweeps then they deserve to lose.
-
Too many people blame the fighter on top for stalling when the guy on the bottom is equally to blame. Too many fighters do not take enough risks to get up, instead they hold the fighter on top from causing damage to them. As the fighter one the bottom you have choices. Hold the fighter, defend against strikes and position advancements, try and get up, or attempt submissions. Most fighters just hold the fighter or defend against strikes or position advancements, which is smart because if they do try a submission or try to get up the chance that they will get finished goes up. You cant keep blaming the fighter on top.

First round back... ouch

Rough day. It will come back?lol I remember seeing the vids of your swing and it really requires a lot of skill and timing to pull off, so it would only be unnatural to go out after a long layoff and shoot about your handicap. Did you have fun? -
Guess what I got for 250 dollars in 9/10 condition?

Thats the default handi on this site. I would think most vets would realize that and apply it to situations like this, as the chance of someone having that exact handi is low. -
AP2's / CB's / X Forged / VR Split CB's
alomar123 replied to kpaulhus's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
AP2s are really solid clubs, but they are pricey.
