@fehrgolf @McLeanGolf I do think alignment sticks can help you to manage your directional feel. While the ball doesn’t know where the stick is pointing, your legs, back and hips do. So as you develop a feel for swing path etc the stick helps with consistency.

@McLeanGolf Indicates that the ball takes orders from something other than where the golfer’s feet/hips/shoulders are aligned.

What does this indicate? I’m certain Hogan never did either.

@ClassicSwingX You are confusing two different uses of the term “shallow”. Shallow swing plane and shallow angle of attack are not the same. “Shallowing the club”=shallow swing plane but can still have a steep angle of attack. Shallow swing plane can be a fix for a slice.

Today everyone seems to be talking about getting shallow — but with an iron, I actually want a steep angle of attack. Most of my students come in too shallow! When you get the hands ahead and create forward shaft lean, it naturally steepens your AOA and gives you that crisp, ball-first contact the greats all had. If you’d like to learn how to strike your irons like the legends, come train with me at Classic Swing Golf Schools. 📧 christo@classicswing.golf

ANNOUNCEMENT If you are ready to transform your golf, READ THIS... This is NOT a typical improvement program… This is an intensive 8 days…… This is a PROVEN process... This is for golfers who truly want to master the art of self coaching….. This is the last golf training course you will ever need….. Years ago I was filming my swing, trying any in-vogue motion to see if that was going to be the “secret move” that helps me hit it like Tiger. Unfortunately, as my swing got better, I didn’t. In fact, in spite of all the practice, I actually got worse. To the point that I eventually took a break from the game, and went to study to become a coach instead. During my time studying, I had a huge "aha" moment…. During a materials science lecture, our physics professor was discussing the physics of the collision between the ball and the face. He made it absolutely clear that THIS DETERMINED EVERYTHING about the shot. The distance, the flight, the accuracy - all determined in this 0.5 inches of the golf swing. We even questioned him….. “But what about if your swing is X/Y/Z” “What if you have X grip/stance/posture” His answer was always the same - “It will only affect the outcome IF it affects the impact collision.” To cut a long story short, I started to filter every single thing a player did through the lens of “How does it affect impact”. This was all pre-launch monitor. I had to learn how to interpret what the ball did, and how that related to impact. And then every change I made in a player absolutely HAD TO improve this impact interval. And it got results. Every time the player improved their impact, the result improved. I started implementing it into my own game, and was quickly playing the best golf of my life… It was so freeing - not only could I control the ball much better, but if any fault started to creep in I could fix it super quickly….. And, over the years, I’ve mastered the process of teaching this to others…. All with the goal of being able to fully control your game and self coach. To no longer be “lost” in a sea of information, wondering how it applies to you and your game. If you've tried golf instruction and spent too much time fiddling around with different swings, never really getting better… There is a simple process that will: →  help you identify your impact →  show you what to do to improve it →  show you how to implement it →  show you how to transfer it to the course And you do NOT have to... →  completely revamp your swing →  spend 10,000 reps ingraining it →  get worse before you get better →  be pushed into a model that doesn’t fit your body 🔥I’ve just launched my 8-day LIVE course that is like a nitro boost for golf improvement. I have never done it over 8 days - but winter is the perfect time to supercharge your learning. The 8-day course is guaranteed to: ✅ boost results, long-term and short-term ✅ reduce time spent practicing ✅ boost confidence in knowing what you’re doing ✅ simplify the act of golf improvement On the inside you get: ✅Live interaction with me - ask me questions ✅Skill tasks/drill books ✅A proven path/process to follow ✅Technique drills that actually relate to impact improvement The 8-day course launches November 5th 2025 The price is less than the cost of a lesson with me AND I have a special code opened for the first 20 people who sign up…. only 18 spots left for this DEAL! If you are ready to transform your game this winter, then 🔥🔥🔥say “WINTER” and I will send over your exclusive link and code. Ready to join the revolution?

From serverless basics to AI agents & future architectures - @nickcoult (AWS) breaks it all down. Perfect deep dive for devs & architects! youtu.be/5sZR5X7noi0?li…

@Bensign This fits with my evolving mental model of product management - you don’t really know what people need until you get sometime in their hands. That’s why shipping early is so valuable and why speed matters.

Good question. The original idea was around better AWS UX - both in navigating what infrastructure you actually had and corresponding cost. Actually got *super* lucky with this because we had to request a very broad set of IAM permissions from the beginning that have allowed us to do a lot more with little customer hinderance in 5 years. Though within 2-3 months it was pretty clear that cost was the main value prop. Almost every single customer conversation was like "I'd just pay you if you helped us from a cost perspective". We kept marketing as an "Alternative AWS console" even with our initial launches (like here: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=257508…) because it instantly resonated...but the business was built on FinOps. Since about January of '21 though it's just been chipping away bit by bit, listening to customers and shipping on FinOps. I'm surprised by how much there has been to do and how much still remains. Very much believe in this "idea maze" post and feel like we got lucky with initial PMF with cost/FinOps -- and going through another layer of the maze right now with AI so stay tuned ;) cdixon.org/2013/08/04/the… Lastly - I think just relentless execution and not giving up is the name of the game.

GOTO Serverless is underway! @nickcoult is kicking us off with “The future of serverless” @GOTOcon @awscloud @AWSCloudIndia @AntStack @KonfHub

@TimeAtMode @LouStagner “Putting is half the game,” but putting isn’t half your penalty strokes or recovery shots. It’s zero of them. There’s a reason you get diminishing returns from putting practice compared to tee and approach shots.

@LouStagner No. Develop a pre-shot routine instead. Focus and work harder on your putting. Putting is half the game and yet I bet the average golfer spends 5x more time on the range as on the putting green.

Should you putt with a line on your ball? Let's look at the science: 🧵👇

LLMs hallucinate 100% of the time. They just happen to hallucinate the right sequence of words ~80% of the time.

ICYMI: We’ve rolled out a new MCP server adapter for AWS Lambda. This update enables developers to ✅ Wrap existing studio MCP servers into Lambda functions ✅ Invoke function-based MCP servers using the MCP protocol over short-lived connections ✅ Build flexible applications - from desktop apps to distributed cloud systems. Whether you're modernizing legacy systems or building new cloud-native apps, this adapter opens up new possibilities for your MCP-based projects! github.com/awslabs/run-mo…

Hi Everyone - I'm interesting in chatting with developers experimenting with MCP servers and that are also using Serverless on AWS such as AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, Amazon EventBridge. Please reach out via DM. Thanks!

@pli_cachete A simple variation of this question. There are three doors. You pick one. Then you are told you can change your answer to “it’s behind one of the two I didn’t pick” and you still win if that turns out to be true. Switching has a 2/3 probability of winning.

Many people have convinced themselves that they understand the Monty Hall problem after someone explains it to them, but then get the question wrong when you slightly tweak the question

My concern with the possibilities here is less about fakes being presented as real, but real content being branded fake. People who want to deny the truth will have an easier time doing so when so much content is fake but looks real.

@fehrgolf @NellyKorda As an amateur with limited practice time, I find a launch monitor helpful to accelerate the process of dialing in what the right feel should be. But I also practice without one since I like to practice like I play and it’s hard to bring a launch monitor on the course with you:)

Interesting comments from @NellyKorda regarding her use (lack of) launch monitors…
