@somerandom_non @DeltaClimbs Tensile test sample

@DeltaClimbs Yep, that’s a… broken chisel? Who cares

People just be casually announcing what may be poised to be quite pivotal on twitter and no one other than maybe three people will care. Isn't that the world?

@FDaniels86 @JonStrauss_ Why he has such poor metrics away from Mackinnon needs to be addressed

@JonStrauss_ On top of Kevo's comment - Makar's EV Offensive WAR since 2023/24 is rated below names like Jayden Struble, Josh Manson, Marc Staal even. It's a complete anomaly. The guys who just look at cards could get lost in the sauce.

The biggest litmus test for hockey fans getting into analytics is what they take away from Makar's possession metrics

@Madi39 @NHL_Sid He does play pk?

@NHL_Sid Not very good defensively either. Or as a wise “analyst” once said, “he doesn’t play the penalty kill”

He's such a power-play merchant.

@LeftCoastLeafs McKenna by a country mile

You are afforded the benefit of a Crystal Ball. You are guaranteed Gavin McKenna will be as good as Nikita Kucherov Chase Ried will be as good as Drew Doughty. Which one are you taking?

@phoss2501 It's easy to think this when you don't know what a neurosteroid is

The IQ test is realizing that 5 alpha reductase and DHT are upstream of neurosteroids like allopregnanolone. Fin fucks with your GABA production and makes you behave like a neurotic woman. There's a whole spectrum of sides between growing tits/dick not working and completely side effect free. I say this as someone that was fin for 3 years and thought I had 0 sides, only to find that when I got off, my random bouts of anxiety went away and my mental acuity improved. I was lucky that my dht production recovered, there is a small but nonzero chance your body fails to fully recover from fin use.

@engineeringolf You don't understand the argument. Your irons should all have the same peak height

1st rule of debate: know your opponent's argument better than your own. Modern lofts are painted negatively, so I should prepare you w/ the argument in support of them. Here's the discussion happening in those rooms when product teams decide to lower lofts: When a flexy iron face increases ballspeed, you can lower loft but maintain height. 7i is defined by a peak height, not a loft or carry. They'll say that the golfer sees their expected 7i "window," but benefits from more distance. 🪄 I think you know why. Big numbers on launch monitors sell golf clubs. *This is not an endorsement of this design strategy.

@CelebriniBetter @LEHK0NEN Mcdavids age 19 season was even better than 2015-2018

@LEHK0NEN Teenager vs generational player with game-breaking speed in prime okay. 2 Best players in the league (Mcdavid and Mackinnon) said he’s already a top player in the league during olympics and you’re showing me graphs. Watch the games. And no not his Chicago Steel games 🤣

Two tiers of player in here

@ScoutRocco @MitchManners No he isn't. Mcdavid is better defensively. Not that I disagree that Celebrini would go 1 due to age

@MitchManners Celebrini could outscore him next season and nobody would be surprised. He's also literally already better in his own end.

If there were an NHL Draft of all players in the league, Celebrini easily goes 1st. But who goes 2nd? Schaefer? McDavid?

@DeanTTraining Depending on weight could be an assisted situp

This has to be one of the most insane videos to ever hit the internet This is NOT an Abs exercise, folks!

Anthony Di Marco: Re Flyers: By all accounts, Matvei Michkov is not held in high regard by plenty of team personnel members across the league at this point; That being said, the Flyers are in no hurry to run Michkov out of town - Daily Faceoff (5/12)

@SED210 @TourPicks That's more accurate. The PGA doesn't have a consistent identity

@foidmaximizing @TourPicks Maybe I’m thinking the US Open?

PGA is not backing down

@SED210 @TourPicks Since when?

@TourPicks Good. The PGA is supposed to be difficult. That’s its claim to fame

@RyNoonan It's a putting contest. Can't fire at pins and the course doesn't have the teeth to see doubles

People were preemptively mad about a possible "bomb and gogue" or "Valhalla 2.0" situation and now we're mad because the pins are impossible and par is a good score? We're missing the plot, folks. Aronimink has been awesome and we're in for a treat this weekend.

Arominik is basically a putting contest

@nicknactax @Daniel_Rapaport Like he said, not enough doubles

@Daniel_Rapaport This has been phenomenal. I don't know why some people want this to play like Rocket Mortgage or some other random PGA Tour or LIV event. There's a time and place for that and it's not the majors

Rory McIlroy: "I think a bunched leaderboard like this, I think it's a sign of a not-great setup...it hasn't really enabled anyone to separate themselves. It's easy to make a ton of pars...it feels like bogey's the worst score you're going to shoot on any one hole."

@Glovies007 @thwacknicklaus They'd just pull the loft down and hit it the same distance

@thwacknicklaus I love my GT280. I think that’s the future for the tour, 280cc maybe 300cc. It’d pull the yardages closer to where they were designed to be played.

First swing with a modern driver since December! (Mini driver—GT280) Really prefer the persimmons, I have to say…

@EPatGolf Burns

I can't think of a better way to spend $25 Who ruins this for me?

@coreypronman @TheAthleticNHL You've lost your damn mind

New @TheAthleticNHL: My top 112 prospects for the 2026 NHL Draft nytimes.com/athletic/72623…

@thwacknicklaus Those bunkers wouldn't be in play with a 3 wood either

Why a ROLL BACK? Imagine a hole. 450yd par 4. Straight. Bunkers on each side — 275 carry from the tee. Medium rough. EVERY SINGLE MODERN TOUR PLAYER Will send it over those bunkers with driver. EVERY TIME. LEAVING SAND WEDGE IN. Now for the roll back… (read on) Imagine a reduced-sized driver head. 200CC—similar to the size of a persimmon driver. Can/will players still be able to hit it 300 yards? Sure. And they should! The difference is this: THEY CAN’T ALL DO IT EVERY TIME. It’s a harder shot, mostly because the penalty for missing just slightly (with a head that size) is: A) fairway bunker from 175 out or B) rough from the same distance SOME PLAYERS WILL STILL GO FOR IT for the following reasons: 1) they are just really good ball strikers and trust that they consistently have that shot in the bag (Rory/Scottie). 2) they’re under the gun trying to make a cut or chase someone down on Sunday and want to apply pressure. BUT MANY PLAYERS WILL LAY BACK! Why? 1) They don’t want to hit a 175 yard bunker shot or 175 shot from the rough 2) They’re more comfortable hitting a mid iron from the fairway 3) They’re just not feeling it that day. Swing is a little off (wouldn’t matter with modern driver—they’d still send it…) ESSENTIALLY, Rolling the ball back takes a simple hole and introduces many different outcomes and complexities that are essentially gone from the game right now. If Rory ships one over that bunker with a tiny club head to keep the gas pedal down on Sunday, that’s a brave and admirable shot! (b/c we now know what could happen if he misses) If another player chooses to hit 3 wood to keep it in the fairway and flags a 5 iron and makes birdie, we know what a remarkable play that was (b/c it’s more difficult that hitting a lob wedge from 103 yds out of medium rough!) To close, golf a the professional level is better when there are more outcomes, not fewer. The better players will rise to the top—those who hit the ball better or (AND THIS IS KEY) those who make better decisions. The modern game has taken most of the strategy out of professional golf. It can easily be brought back! But you have to reduce club head size to do it.
