Moving to another site
21Aug2010
figured i might as well use a blog to share my thoughts, and some progress on a few things.
i'll move to wordpress, and on an actual domain or something, probably later today.. that's if i can actually pay for it, since i'm a little short on money -v-
i'll tweet the new site later(or post here), if you wanna keep me in your blogroll.
and if you want me to feature you in mine, just tweet me.

Well just got this yesterday, on a random game with some beginner BR that wasn’t annoying and AFF-ing all over the place, so it’s nice..
I’ll try to explain the misses(scorecard is BL front)
Hole 1: Don’t know the green slope, tried finding it out with the abacus method, turns out it changes after a few pb, so meh..
Hole 2: 1y short, probably because I’m just starting to use power method, but it’s fine now
Hole 9: ppic, but I was sure it’ll go in if i didn’t ppic T__T it was 1m too (hole 6-9 all got 1m)
Hole 11: Honestly, this hole hates me :/ tee shot for tomahawk approach, but it got facked up.. cause the wind was 8m around 60-70 degrees for the tee shot, so I used 7i.. then got some uber slope + 2w restriction… It couldn’t reach anyway, even with 11 spin :/ so yeah, facked on that hole
Hole 18: See pic above, lol.. Facked up tee shot, even on 3m… and then shot got overcut =/
So close to –41 T__T if I were focusing more, and actually paid more attention on some stuff, that would be at least –40 ;_;
And for those who are wondering why I used 264, instead of 266… It’s because I wanted more ctr so things like hole 9 don’t happen ._.
*EDIT*
Thanks to Mr. 7x for helping me with some stuff lol…
Major improvements
08Nov2009
I'm gonna use one of my old post about card packs as a reference, cause that's when I started improving little by little.
As you can see, I've spent nearly a month playing with my 270y semi-calc method(which seems to be working fine at that time) And just after 3 weeks of 270y, I've decided to use complete HWI sets and actual calculating.. I found this 264y one from the web and tried it out.
I've had my doubts about calcing, because my shots never went in at first, then corrected my mistakes, use a more simple method for some values..
And after 4 days I got that -32 pink wind record. yes, just 4 days of calculating practice will take you to -32 if you're doing it right. I know I commented on mygo's blog saying it's 2 weeks, but I didn't really count the days when I commented lol, it only took me 4 days.
More than a month has passed since then, and I have new records on all courses, except for ice spa, because I need 2w HWIs which I don't have yet now. And of course wind hill, cause I'm staying away from that until I get at least -30 on all courses
Well I can say that I'm proud of myself for learning it in a short period of time, and honestly it's not that hard if you know what you're doing.
Latest record I have is Blue Lagoon -33, with 9982 pangs.. I was raging when it didn't reach 10k but hey, it's a part of learning, I'll get it later..
Currently using 266y drive, I really wanna play with 276y, but I can't take advantage of high drives for now, cause I still don't have 2w/3w/iron HWIs, and also dunk HWIs. I'll use that drive for sure when I'm at least national pro, or world pro.. That's when I think I'll have the skills to use a monster drive like that(Maybe with SR lola card too!)
Expect more records from me, It's either White wiz or ice cannon next.. And maybe that ice spa -40 I wanted 3 months ago
Sidenote:
I challenged ColdFireGurl into studying pangya calculations, and she must chip at least 2/3 holes in a 3 hole VS game.. But I have to beat her in pokemon with E.V. training in return :D fun stuff
First non-Spa -30... or -32

Pink Wind, inventory was 1 Milk, 1 Spin mastery, 1 Safety, 1 Boost/pill, rest are pots, no silent winds, ran out of them lol..
I wanted a -30, so I tomahawked most of them, even though I HATE doing tomahawks if I can bs it, turned out pretty good, got a few 0.1y misses due to bad angle reads
Didn't HIO h4, was short 1y on 1m horizontal wind
*NOTE* It's -32, not -30, I took the screenie too soon, when it was still -30, count it yourself if you don't believe me :P
Sigh...

Doing silvia now, got a 270y guide from a certain korean website that you probably know already, translated to english, also converted from tiles > PB.. And no, I'm not gonna release it, and don't ask where I got it from if you don't know.
I also got a few records, not much, but better than before, got those with lots of chokes, ppics, and angle misread.. If only I have better angle reading skillz T_T
FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-

Update.. I guess
31Aug2009
But those chutes are the reason why I like playing spa, people will think spa as a 'noob pang course that hackers play'.. I don't, I like playing there because I wanna figure out how to do those crazy chute HIOs, and just alternative playing, it's like a challenge to me.. I may not be good at chipping, but I find it really boring if it's just regular chips on a really easy course, like PW for example.. inb4 spa is a 1 star course, it may be an easy 1 star course, but it's hard to get the top score because it requires special calculations for chutes.. easy to play, hard to master.
Expect a -38 or more by mid september, I just need to get all of this UL and ppic mistakes gone.. And by the time I got that score, I'm sure people would report me as a hacker, cause my other course records are shit, and I have a 61% pangya rate (lol)(cell)
