re: ProSENDR is Legit

I like to combine at least 3 swing aids at a time for maximum synergistic effect
re: What can I do to strengthen my groin muscles?
Posted by NewOrleansBlend on 9/5/25 at 6:20 pm to alajones
You may be having groin tendon pain aka a sports hernia, which is what I was dealing with until I started doing the followed as recommended by a PT. Get on the adductor machine and use your hands to help with the concentric (contraction) portion then focus on slow eccentrics or isometrics. 2-3 times a week, 5-10 minutes of time under tension each session. Gradually increase weight. Single leg squats, lunges or heavy squats aren’t a good idea for now. Partial squats are safer but I stuck to rdls and leg extensions
re: There is a new Guy Laliberté on the poker circuit: Jungleman takes $15M off "Monarch"

I would agree. Poker is a mental grind and it's not the peak processing power that you lose so much as you get older, it's mental stamina. When I play online chess my win rate is probably 75% in my first 5 or so games that day and 25% (or less) later in the day.
re: Boat Dealers must be hurting...seeing $100K discounts off New MSRP.
Posted by NewOrleansBlend on 8/5/25 at 5:59 am to sidewalkside
I just bought a new 78k 21ft center console for 61k, which was the best deal I could find on what we wanted. Boat prices are insane and due for a correction. A Blackjack 256 Coastal or Pathfinder 2400/2600 TRS would be perfect but I'm not paying 150k or more for a boat.
re: Giant lime green dildo thrown onto court during WNBA game

The WNBA has absolutely no idea how to handle these things. Have an arena worker run it and grab it and bag it and leave to dispose of it. Security can deal with the fan. Keep playing.
Stopping play, having a monologue about it and drawing so much attention to it, in a serious way as if a dildo is some dangerous object makes you look like a clown show. It somehow reinforces every negative the league has.
However it’s women, and they can never let something go. Or not make a big deal out of nothing.
This is wokeism at it's finest, feeling injured by innocuous things and making mountains out of molehills.
re: ZR1X & ZR1 Corvettes set the top two laptimes for American production cars at Nurburgring
Posted by NewOrleansBlend on 8/1/25 at 5:46 am to Obtuse1
Porsche has major advantages over Chevy at the Nurburgring. One, it's Porsche's home track so they can perfect the car's setup. Second, the porsche driver is a professional and a Ring specialist. Chevy had amateur drivers and a limited time window to learn the track and set the cars up.
At VIR, the ZR1 set a production car record at 2:32 compared to 2:37 in the GT3RS. This time the setup strongly favored the Chevy with their own driver, likely more time to set the car up, etc as the Porsche time was during the C&D lightning lap.
I suspect the Chevy is significantly faster on an even playing field but the Porsche punches way above it's weight.

re: Treating Achilles tendinitis and preventing a rupture?
Posted by NewOrleansBlend on 7/30/25 at 4:25 pm to StringedInstruments
I’m dealing with new Achilles soreness as well. Hurts the day after a run, which I’ve recently gotten back into routinely after mainly cycling for cardio. Walking, controlled calf raises (even heavy ones) don’t bother it. I think it’s the repeated sudden significant eccentric loading of running that is the cause so I’m going to stick to inclined walking for a bit.
Isometrics for tendon issues have helped me in the past, so I’m going to do that as well. Idea is to put a controlled, moderate load through the tendon to aid in healing

They need to put Miurfield back into the rotation. They took it out because they wouldn’t allow women members I believe. That place is a beast no matter the weather.
They should also put Turnberry back in because it’s the most beautiful course in Scotland, which they took out because Trump owns it.

re: Mid Range Golf Balls
Posted by NewOrleansBlend on 6/26/25 at 5:12 am to LSUStjames
I don’t believe the old conventional wisdom that slower swing speeds benefit from softer balls. The independent ball tests I’ve seen have shown that the higher the compression the higher the ball speed, which is the primary factor in distance. The difference isn’t huge, particularly at slow swing speeds, but it’s measurable. Mygolfspy link. Urethane covered higher compression balls also usually produce slightly higher launch and higher spin, traits which often benefit slower swing speeds even more than higher ones.
I would recommend finding an accurate launch monitor somewhere and trying different balls and seeing which one gives you the best results.

downhill putts were no harder than uphill putts
Bryson said recently that downhill putts are easier to make than uphill putts because, roughly speaking, the ball tends to fall towards the hole on a downhiller and away on an uphill one

You said Niemann was garbage in majors after he just got T8
He finished 7 back, backdoored a 9-way tie for 8th for by far his best ever finish in a Major on a course that played 1.6 strokes easier Sunday morning than Sunday afternoon Datagolf.

I’m offering a Niemann ban bet. If he is in the last 4 groups on Sunday (AKA in contention), I’ll permanently delete my account. If not, you do the same.

So it would be better if he started in lead and choked down to a T8? That logic makes no sense
Of course it does, don't be obtuse. If you're 10 shots back going into Sunday, you are out of the tournament and any pressure is completely off.
The reason I didn't realize he backdoored a T8 at the PGA is because he wasn't a factor

Several players with unusually low odds given their lack of wins: Neimann, Aberg, Fleetwood come to mind. Multiple major winner Collin Morikawa isn't one of them IMO.
