Flatstick

1. Golf

Definition: Slang term for a putter, because putter faces are considered flat relative to other golf clubs.

Reality check: Most putters are not, in fact, flat. In other words, putters, too, are lofted. You can find putters with zero degrees of loft (true "flatsticks"), but most putters have 3-4 degrees of loft to their faces.

Alternate Spellings: Flat stick

I don't know if it's just me, but automatics and loud exhausts just don't mix.

I don't know what flat sticking is either.. but if I think it's what you're doing (moving the gear selector up and down manually selecting gears excessivly), you are damaging the linkages between the gear selector and the gearbox itself. Autoboxes like that are meant to be left in D, not to be treated as if they were tiptronic gearboxes. That's just my opinion.

    • Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead
    • Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
    • It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10  
    • Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.
