I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I’ll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

    Custom golf clubs versus off the rack. Took 30 strokes off my game.

      Took 30 strokes off my game.

      God damn. I heard they help, but I didn’t realize it was that drastic.

          Wow, that’s amazing then! I had a huge improvement in my game when I finally bought a decent set of clubs instead of using the 30 year old clubs I got at the thrift store. Before then I always figured the clubs were more of a status symbol, thinking they’d all more or less perform the same. I was blown away with the difference it made in my control.

          What exactly did you have done custom? Just custom stiffness handles, cut to length, or what?

            It’s been 30 years so I don’t really remember. They were higher quality and cut to fit my stance, which is a little weird because I have big boobs. Also I was starting from a really low bar – 56 handicap. The biggest improvement was the distance with my woods.

              That’s awesome! I couldn’t for the life of me fix my slice with woods and a driver, despite hitting pretty straight with irons. After 3 years of that shit, I finally took a couple of lessons. Two 30 minute lessons fixed what I hadn’t been able to fix in three years. Golf is a crazy game. The tiniest little things can affect your game dramatically.

              I should get my wife some custom clubs. She’s shorter than average, and she has large boobs, so maybe that is also throwing her game off too. It would be rad if she improves enough that we can hit the standard courses together. Right now she’s solidly in the par 3 course skill tier.
