Hello friends, welcome back to the channel. The next seven star turret event for Scholar and Violet has just been announced. And we're going to cover all of the details for this brand new event in today's video. So hot off the press, Cereby has just tweet out confirming the next seven star turret event that will be happening for Scholar and Violet, and it has been announced to be Rillaboom. Yes, we kind of thought and suspected it's been Rillaboom coming for a long time. It does complete that eighth generation starter set. We've had the Cinderace, we've had the Intelion, we just needed the Rillaboom and it has now been confirmed and it will be a normal turret type, so a big shout out to Light, who we've had on the channel before, who did predict it would be a normal type. I did think it would be either normal or ground, but it does turn out to be that normal turret typing, the big caveat for this event, though, it is not happening this Friday. We normally do these announcements and the event is normally going to be happening the coming Friday when we do the announcement. This event is going to be delayed by an entire week. The first phase of the Rillaboom event will be running, as you can see here, from July the 28th to July the 30th, which is actually a week on Friday when this event will be kicking off and then I'll be returning the following week after that for its second phase as usual from the 4th of August through to the 6th. So that is a big kind of question mark over what is happening this coming week. Now, we've been speculating on the channel for a long time now about all the information that has come out recently in regards to that seven star Mewtwo terror event. Now, we've had data mind information about how it interacts with specifically new when you take it into that terror event. And we've had a lot of speculation around Mewtwo coming from sources like Ridlaku and things like that. So based on the 25th anniversary of that first movie, which is actually this Tuesday as of recording this video, it looks as though they've left a gap this week for something to be happening. And I would put all of my money on saying that that Mewtwo seven star terror event will be coming this week. We've obviously delayed the seven star terror event for Rillaboom as it would normally be happening on this Friday. So they left a gap for something else that will be coming this week. And I'd expect us to get an announcement some stage this week for that Mewtwo seven star terror event. So do subscribe to the channel to make sure that you stay up to date when that does get announced. If it does get announced, nothing's confirmed, of course. But if it does get announced, we will cover it here on the channel. So if you don't want to miss that, make sure you do hit that subscribe button because we will cover it as soon as it goes live. But getting back to the Rillaboom event for the time being, the Rillaboom event is going to be a normal terror type. We will, as always, do a best builds video for this terror event being a normal type. There are a lot of Pokemon that are going to be good going into this one. They're going to be super effective, things that we've seen in the past. But we will put together a best builds video for this event coming in later this week. So keep an eye out for that one. But I think the big speculation is going to be all around the gap that we've got this week and what does that entail for us? Does that entail a trailer from the DLCs or does it entail just a special seven star terror event that will be announced later this week for that seven star Mewtwo that is going to kind of have that commemoration with the 25th anniversary movie. But that is the Rillaboom event. As I say, it will be happening, but not for a week on Friday, as I've said. So it'll be the 28th of July. But that is everything that we wanted to cover in today's video. Let me know down in the comment section below what you think this gap week means. Doesn't mean that we're going to get the seven star Mewtwo event. Are we going to get a new mystery gift alongside that? Or does it mean nothing? And this is all part of their schedule for the seven star terror event. Of course, until something is confirmed, it's all conjecture at the minute. But the one thing we do know is Rillaboom will be coming to the game. So you are going to be able to get it with that mightiest mark starting the 28th of July. Let me know what your thoughts on everything that we covered in today's video. Do drop a like. It really does help the channel out and do hit that subscribe button if you want to stay up to date with all of the latest announcements coming out in regards to terror events in Scarlet and Violet. Thank you so much for tuning in, friends. Have a great rest of your day and I will see you all in another video very soon. Until then, take care and bye bye.


this video is intended to shame me welcome to my channel i hope you're good today we i i don't want to fucking say it we are going to be talking about all of the book series i am currently reading and you may think megan in the middle of 32 books you know what i'm just gonna leave so yeah we're gonna go through every book series i am currently in the middle of there's 32 of them and it's made it's made even worse by the fact that in my lifetime i've only completed 11 series well not in my lifetime in the past few years of reading since 2019 since 2019 i've only completed um 11 11 book series so oh it's 36 i knew it was either 32 or 36 but i went with a lower number in the hope that was true no we're in the middle of 36 that's so bad it's so bad and the fact is before we even get into these i know i know that in the next couple weeks the next two weeks i'm starting three more series i'm just gonna start three more series i'm gonna be showing you my series tracker and the books are colour coded for if i read them in 2019 2020 or 2021 2019 is green 2020 is like a kind of pinky ready and 2021 is a purple and we're going to be going through the series in the order that i've read them so we're going to be starting with the series i've been reading for the longest time and ending with the series i started most recently now i'm actually in november going to be doing a video where you pick what series i make progress in so in the description box of this video there is going to be a link to a google form where you can vote on which of these series you want me to make progress in in a vlog if you're kind to me you may pick the series where i've only got one book left so i can finish that series off but do whatever you want you've got the power you can vote on three series each so you can pick the three series you would most likely to read and then in that vlog i'm gonna read them and i'm very excited i'm very excited to make some progress in series because that's something i always struggle to do as we as is going to be evidence so let's just begin shall we so the oldest series the series i've been reading the longest is the stalking jack the ripper series i have read the first two and i literally only read this like last week i need a drink so i've been reading this series for a long time i've given both of these like three stars i didn't really love either of them and some of you told me to just dnf the series but i do not want to i want to finish this series partly because i kind of like the covers i like how they look on my shelf so i do want to finish the series but yeah i've got two more to read in this one and i've been reading this the longest so it's kind of embarrassing that i haven't finished it yet next is nancy june mystery stories i've read the first three of these you'll notice it says set one for series like this where there's like 30 books i also do this for urky pro i split the series into five book instalments so this is the third one it's the only one i own physically i read the other two via audiobook we all know if you've watched my videos recently i want to read this whole series via the audiobook but you cannot find them anywhere the audiobook has just gone poof sorry i'm gone i'm gone but these are just fun you know lighthearted amount of mysteries that i do enjoy reading because nancy june is a massive part of my childhood then we have got the diviners series i read the diviners whoa come on everyone let's not do this i read the diviners in 2019 and then i read lair of dreams and before the devil break shoot in 2020 and i have still yet to read the final book the king of crows i have meant to read this many times this year me trying to finally read this book what am i gonna do i'll just manifest it might take me a while but i think i've heard a single good review for this book and it's long here's the thing i want to finish off this series because i have enjoyed parts of it i gave the diviners four stars lair of dreams like a four point five basically a five star and i gave before the devil break shoot like a two point five and i've heard this is even worse than before the devil break sheet so my motivation for finishing the series just kind of isn't there this is this uh fancy series set in 1920s new york we have the diviners who have kind of these special abilities these special powers and i do just kind of want to finish the series but this is a long book and the fact that no one has really liked it just like it doesn't make me want to read it but i do want to read it because i want to finish the series off then we have got the wayward children's series by shurella maguire i have read up to number six this is number five and number six i don't own the first four physically but i do want to because since i've started reading these physically i have much more preferred them i used to listen to the audiobooks and they've all been five stars since i started reading them physically so i do want to reread the first four physically at some point but um money and i do already own actually the seventh one where the drown girls go which i'm so excited for uh this comes out in january next year so i'm very lucky to have an arc of it i'm very excited for this one as well because we're following a character called cora who we met in come tumbling down who i was really interested in so i'm so excited to read this one and yeah this is one of my favorite series listen this series is going to be going on for like ever so i am all caught up with this series i'm not like guilting myself this one because it's gonna go on forever pretty much i think there's gonna be like 20 books so i'm never gonna finish this series it's never gonna get ticked off my list but i am very excited to read the next installment then we have got the truly devious series by maureen johnson so i have read the first three truly devious the vanishing stair and the hand on the wall and part of me wants to count this as a finished series because the way that this series is going to work from now on is that this is like a trilogy on its own and then the other books are like spin-offs so part of me thinks i should count this as a completed series and then the future books as a different series but it doesn't really make a difference on how many series i'm reading does it so the next one is called the box and the words i'm sure you've heard people speaking about it the problem i have with this series is i have the first three in paperback and i'm not about to buy the hardback i want them to match so the paperback traditionally has been coming out like a year after the hardback comes out so i'm just always a year late to these books so i don't want to read the box in the words yet i think the paperback is due to come out like june next year so i will get it then and i will make progress in the series then but right now i'm not going to then we have got one of my favorite fantasy series ever we have got girls of paper and fire and girls of storm and shadow by netash and yang this uh this series is one of the series that really got me into reading before i started my channel i just love this series i love these girls we're following these paper girls who are forced to sleep with the king and it's fantasy society and so it's obviously a very difficult book to read about but it's sapphic it's beautifully written the world building is incredible the last book in this series does come out in november but i think it's right at the end of november so i'm not a hundred percent sure if i'm going to put this on the list for you to vote for i don't think i'm going to put it on the list but hopefully i will read it anyway i don't think this is something that i need you to like vote on for me to read the book because i love the book so so much then another series i cannot make progress in because the next book is not out is ninth house by liba dugo now misley just give me a fucking title that's all i'm asking for just give me a fucking title please there's no other series in this list that i need the next book more than i need this i i how is it okay for her to drop this masterpiece of a book in 2019 just drop it on us and then like no news and like she told us she told us when i went i went to the signing for this book um hold off a second to megan she told us when i went to it she wanted us to be a seven book series and you're making me wait like three years at least for the next one i'm gonna be old i'm gonna have like 10-year-old children by the time by the time the last book in this is coming out anyway alex turn set it yell murder mystery fantasy incredible series amazing don't know when the next book is coming out we don't have a title we don't have an estimated date of release i'm just like misley buddy go please please i'm begging you i'm begging i need a scrap of something up the way this book ended next is my next set of urquiporo books it's this slightly out of order because we're gonna get into books that i started now in 2020 but obviously this i read in 2021 because i started urquiporo overall in 2020 but i've read the first five so this is number six the next one is perilla endhouse which i don't own i do love a bit of urquiporo i love a bit like the christie i'm making my way through them slowly i find with miss agatha we're very hit or miss like i'm never gonna call her one of my favorite authors because i've given loads of my books five stars i've given loads like two stars one star so like we're very not on the same page okay next let's quickly fly through some middle grade series i started these all in the same vlog where i started three middle grade series and then i haven't made progress in any of them i started all these last year first we've got the sin claire's mysteries i read the clockwork sparrow i do own the next one the george moth i don't think i'm gonna vlog reading this series but this is like a mystery series set in edwardian england set in this department store called sin claire's is very cute um this is actually the one i rated lowest out of all of the books in that video but i do want to continue with these series because they're cute middle grades and i feel like they are books that i could read outside of reading vlogs just for my own enjoyment but yeah i love this kind of era i love middle grade i love mystery so i don't want to continue with this one i also started a pinch of magic by michelle harrison this is like three sisters with an ancient curse and they're working together as friends and as sisters to solve it i don't own the second one to this yet but i really loved this one this one was so magical and whimsical i also started pages and co by tilly and the book wonders at this point during editing i started to get overwhelmed at just how many series i'm currently reading girl i just can't take this there's too much give my puppy book i'm leaving i do own tilly and the lost fairytales the next one in the pages and co series this is about this girl who can like walk into books and like books can emerge into the world around her it's just magical again so i do really want to make progress in these middle grades this is complete evidence of my problem i often start series for vlogs and i don't continue them so hopefully i'll make progress in some of these middle grade series soon because i need to okay next we've got a series that i'm almost finished i'm hoping maybe to finish it in the next couple months it's binti and i've read the first two i've read binti and home and i do own the night masquerade i just read these as ebooks they're literally only like a hundred pages long i could literally read the night masquerade tonight if i wanted to but i'm not going to this is like science fiction fantasy i don't really want to say too much about what it's about because i am so far removed from the first book that i definitely have forgotten what's a spoiler i feel like a lot is a spoiler because they're only like a hundred pages so like what the am i gonna talk about crazy kind of plots very very interesting and i own the last one so i could i could finish this series very soon if i wanted to next is a very exciting series i'm very excited to make progress in it's not as soon as you have to read in any kind of order but it's the um forgotten women series which i love i've only read the leaders but i do own the writers now this is nonfiction about forgotten women throughout history it's got like illustrations about them all and it just has a couple you know lines about their lives and i just love this series i love learning about forgotten women throughout history i just love learning about forgotten women and these stories it should have been told but because of like patriarchy and things like that they won and these women were forgotten so i love this series there's four in total um obviously i've read the first one have this one and then there's two more next you're all gonna yell at me but it's the stranger dreamer duology by lany taylor there's a few series on this list that i said when i read them i need to read this next book straight away i need to read this next book straight away and then i didn't and this is one of them i can't i can't i've tried it and i failed i can't i'm sure you know this is following like laszlo strange in this magical and mythical world this is a super popular series on booktube i really enjoyed stranger dreamer i loved how beautiful the writing star was but the plot like dragged a little bit in the middle for me but the beginning and the ending were five stars and the middle was like three stars so i think i gave it a four star overall so yeah i do own music nightmares but it's wrapped up still remember wrapped up i haven't done that in a couple months but yeah need to read music nightmares at some point because then this is a duology and then i finished it i just realized i've been speaking for way too long we need to hurry up should we speed it up a little bit i'm gonna like race through some of these because otherwise this video is gonna be like a hundred years long we have got the is it green holiday orgy yeah by emily tesh i have read silver in the word i haven't read dran county another one feel free to shame me for because it's only this long it's only this long and i haven't read it and it's one of my favorite covers for some reason i love this cover i think it's so eerie so different this is like fantasy about these guys living in this word and it's interesting i've never really read anything else like this then we have the theme is files by sylvain new val i gave the first one sleeping giants five stars i listened to the audiobook and it meant i bought the audiobooks and the physical books for books two and three so i have literally no excuse because i have the audiobooks and the physical books because i love this series well the start of this series so much it is these files so it's all told through interviews and kind of description logs but mostly interviews with our characters and it's about these sleeping giants or these kind of robotic creatures that would be impossible for humans to have made being discovered and like body parts being scattered around the earth and it's incredible the audiobooks are amazing i would really recommend to listen to the audiobooks this is another one i have no excuse for because i have both of them and it's one that i have said to myself i was gonna prioritize getting to and then cal supreme i haven't then two more series that i can't make any progress in i've read up to date we have got the singing hill cycle by nivo i have read the empress of salt and fortune and when the tiger came down the mountain the next one is into the riverlands it comes out early next year sometime these are beautiful beautiful novellas if you like novellas if you like short books these ones by tour are like my number one recommendation i think some of the most beautiful writing ever i'm not going to get them all out but we've obviously got the heart stop her graphic novel series i think number five is the final one that comes out next year i've read one to four i don't know how i'm gonna act when when number five comes out i think i'll cry because that's it then the then the series is finished that's one series i don't want to finish i want that series to go on forever i feel good i feel bad i feel happy i feel sad i feel great i feel compassionate i feel kind i feel courageous and then another one which i can't make any progress in is the middle game series the second one for this is coming out next year it's called seasonal fears and i am very nervous for this one because i don't feel like this should be a series like middle game was a perfect standalone i read it thinking it was going to be a standalone and then it turns out we're getting another one and i'm like i'm not so sure about that it makes me so nervous like this should be a standalone i don't know how shawna mogwai is gonna do it but i trust shawna mogwai in everything so i want to scream like this should okay and then the last series i started in 2020 is the popular series by rf quang i do own books two and three but look how big they are this is the reason i have not made progress in this series jack and republic and the burning god they are so long they are so scary to me that i just don't want to make progress in this series i just don't want to do it i feel like i need to finish these at some point but like i kind of want you to vote for these for the vlog because you know this is so long imagine me trying to that's what stops me i just can't imagine trying to read this right now long books and me like aren't necessarily working out okay and now we're into series that i started this year there's a few of these i can't make any progress in because obviously some of them are new releases one is the year of the witching by lexus and henderson the second one of this series has now been confirmed to be coming out it's going to be called the dawn of the coven and i'm very very excited about it but i don't know when it's coming out because on all the release things it says like december this year but we haven't even had a cover reveal so i don't believe that i don't know when it's going to be coming out this is this amazing combination of historical and fantasy and it's set around this cult this religious cult and it was just oh this amazing horror this slow burn horror with feminist themes i loved it but yeah i can't make any progress in it so it's not on me this isn't my fault now the next one is my fault because remember remember when i said there's a few books there's a few series in this video that i said i need to finish this series straight away when i read it this is one of them it is the uh broken earth trilogy so the fifth season by nk jemisin i own because i asked for them i think for my birthday books two and three because i remember saying to myself this series is so confusing and big brained and like requires so much thinking and remembering of things that i need to read books two and three straight away and guess what i didn't do guess what i didn't do everyone i have not read them i wasn't expecting that at all i literally had no idea what the book was about because everyone struggles to describe this just know it's a very clever fantasy that requires a lot of brain and um it's very confusing one of my patrons just finished the series and said that the stone sky the last one requires the most amount of thought of anything yet um yeah i'm really going to like find a way to reacquaint myself with what happens in this before i start the rest of this series let's just quickly go through the ones very first that i also can't make any progress in because i've read up to date we've got legend born by tracy dion uh this is this fantasy again set like in a school environment it's an atherian retelling now i didn't love this book for the vast majority of it i didn't really enjoy it but the ending was very interesting and i love the direction that the book went in so i'm hoping that i'm gonna love the next one then we have got amari and the night brothers i am so excited for amari and the great game to come out the second one this is one of my favorite middle grades i have ever read like i think it's this amazing school setting magical school setting it's got you know a game to it amari is such an interesting character so yeah i feel like i will read the second one pretty fast when it does come out and then when i just started is a song of race and ruin by rosanne a brown this is like a west african inspired fantasy we're following these two main characters who want to kill each other and um i believe this is a geology as well so hopefully i will read the second one quickly when it comes out to finish this series and take it off my list oh and also we have got a history of what comes next by sylvain nouvel this is this really imaginative historical retelling of the space race it was so interesting as you can tell sylvain nouvel is probably my favorite sci-fi writer the second in this series which is called until the last of me i think comes out next year so another one i think i will read quite quickly i feel like this is a geology as well but it's very strange this book it has like no speech no speech marks in it and it's very weird not a lot of people love this but i really enjoyed it one of the series i'm most excited to finish is the a good girls guy tomato series i have read the first two you'll know this is one of my favorite series i've started this year i've read good girls guy tomato and good girl bad blood i do own as good as dead the third one it's sitting over there i this is my favorite why a murder mystery i have ever read i think it's an amazing why a murder mystery that you need to read it's just so imaginative it's told like through this mixed media and um yeah i've owned the last book for like a couple about a month now and i'm kind of ashamed i haven't got to it so like i do want to read that soon but i don't currently have any video plans too so like oh we have got the raven boys we've got the raven cycle i started it this year i didn't love the raven boys but i already own the second one and i've owned it for a long time so we're gonna continue on with this series at some point i feel like i could love it because my problem with this was that i felt like this was just setting up the rest of the series but i'm hoping we'll get into this kind of whimsical crazy fantastical world in book two so i'm hoping for great things but i did not love the raven boys then i started daughter smoke and bone by lanie taylor again a bit of a disappointment i didn't enjoy this as much as strange the dreamer yeah i didn't like the storyline i didn't like the romance i didn't like how it ended but i do again i want to continue on the series because i love lanie taylor um so one of my patrons just actually recently gifted me days of blood and starlight which is the second one i do love these new uk covers i think they're really really pretty a series i've actually made really good progress in this year is the brown sisters romances so i have read the first two get a lifeclothes brown and take hint denny brown so i've only got the last one to read actual age e brown my mum has actually just read all of these she really loved them i've read this series quite quickly because they're so easy to get into these romances for these sisters they're so cute they're great contemporary romances so yeah i feel like again this is one that i may read soon then a series i've spoken about quite a bit that i'm making progress through is the lady hardcastle mysteries by te kinsey this is my favorite probably that cozy historical mystery series i've been listening to the audiobooks but i think i am gonna start um getting the the physical books as well there are only 4.99 for the physical book and also i've got the audiobooks free on the script i just love these audiobooks so because both the first two have been five stars for me i feel like this is a series it's going to just continue to be five stars for me so i think i am going to start getting the physical books as well but obviously listening along because the audiobooks are incredible like they remind me a little bit of how good the strange case of the alchemist daughter audiobooks are not quite as good but a really good narrator who just brings this like story of these cozy mysteries between a lady and her maid to life talented brilliant incredible amazing show stopping spectacular two that i started in the same video we have got uh the hongin murders by shoshi yokomizo and before the coffee gets held by toshikazu karuguchi this only has one other book so another one that hopefully i will read soon ish so that i could tick it off my list and this one is part of like a kind of urkuporo length detective series but only this one and the inugami clan have been translated to english the last series i started was j city by fondly the the green bone saga i think it's called yes i enjoyed this but i didn't love it as much as i wanted to i think i gave this like a 3.5 stars it's this very rich amazing fantasy series but it just dragged a little bit for me more than i wanted it to but i still really really enjoyed it um it was a very amazing interesting book that i'm very excited to carry on and finish the last two books in the series i think jade legacy is just about to come out but jade war is definitely out so i could make progress in a series if i wanted to but uh so there we have it that is all of the series that i am currently partway through my floor is a mess with all of these books this kind of just like actually visually makes me realize what a what a situation i've got myself into um but hopefully i will make some progress in these series towards the end of this year i would love to get a few off my list but i know i'm just going to be starting new ones so like it's a problem it's a real real problem i need to get some of the books off this list but i only have one book left in the series and just finish it so you have the power for that vlog next month to decide which of these series i am going to make some progress in again i will leave the link down below where you can vote on them thank you so much for watching this video i feel like it's going to be quite a long one i've got to go and race and edit it now because i want it to go up this evening if you've gone to end this video comment the shocked face emoji because i'm sure it'll shock and ashamed of me that i've got triple the amount of series to finish that i have finished ever i love you very much thank you so much for watching you're amazing i'll see you very soon in another video bye

To disable the tablet mode, click on the notification icon and turn it off by clicking on this icon. If some system icons have disappeared, for example, the recycle bin, this PC or others, open Settings, Personalization, Themes, Desktop Icon Settings. In the window that opens, check the necessary boxes and click Apply. If you feel like customizing icons, click Change icon and select the one you like. Click OK, and the icons will appear on the desktop. In Windows 7, you can find these settings by right-clicking on the desktop, Personalization, Change Desktop Icons and check the ones you need. If icons are gone from the taskbar, for example, you no longer receive the time on the language panel, open Settings, Personalization, Taskbar, turn System Icons on or off, and check the ones you need, it will make them appear in the taskbar. A system file named Explorer is in charge of displaying shortcuts, folders and icons. Sometimes icons disappear from the notification area and desktop because this file works incorrectly. This job is to display the Windows shell. This floor problem can be fixed by restarting the file. To do it, right-click on the Start menu, run the Task Manager, find Windows Explorer in the Processes tab, right-click on it and select Restart. Also, try to run it by clicking on File, Run New Task, type Explorer.exe in the window that opens and click OK, or enter Explorer in the search field and press Enter. If you can't find it at all, you should either restore your operating system or copy the file from a properly working computer and paste it into a corresponding folder in your computer. The next step in restoring shortcuts will be cleaning the icon cache. To do it, follow the path C, Users, Username, AppData, Local. And if you don't see the AppData folder, the chances are that you have display hidden folders option disabled. To enable it, click View and check Hidden Elements. Now hidden folders will be displayed as well. Find a file iconCache.db and delete it, then restore the computer. They should become visible after they restart. Another way of solving this problem is by checking system files for integrity and restoring them. To do it, start the command prompt by typing cmd in the search field and running it as administrator, then typing the command cfc slash scan now and press Enter. After you run the command, the system check begins. All integrity issues that can be corrected will be fixed automatically, and if there were none of them, you will see the message saying Windows Resolve Protection didn't find any integrity violations. You can watch one of our videos to learn more about checking system files. Find the link in the description. If you face a desktop icon problem after installation of system updates, they should be removed. To do it, open Settings, Apps and Features, Programs and Features and select View installed updates in the window that opens. Select the updates we just think might have harmed your computer. Click Uninstall and confirm your decision. Changes will take effect after the system restart. You can watch one of our videos to learn more about removing or disabling updates. Find the link in the description. Icons may disappear because registered keys haven't been modified or damaged. To start it, press the key sequence Windows plus R in the window that opens type Reget it, then follow the path HK Local Machine, Software, Microsoft, Windows NT, Current Version, WinLogon, and check the following settings. Shell should have the value Explorer.exe and user-init C, Windows, System32, user-init .exe. Then follow this path, HK Local Machine, Software, Microsoft, Windows NT, Current Version, Image File Execution options. If you see a subkey Explorer.exe or I Explorer.exe here, delete it. The system will suggest a restart for the changes to take effect. If none of the methods helped you, then your computer might have been attacked by a virus. You can watch one of our videos to learn more about getting rid of them. Find the link in the description. Sometimes users make a mistake and assign wrong associations to files such as L, M, K shortcuts or dot-exe applications and then such files are opened with the wrong program. It can also happen after your computer is attacked by a virus. In such cases, you may need to restore file associations. In Windows 10 settings, there is an option to reset all file associations. You can find it by going to Settings, Apps, Default Apps, Reset to the Microsoft Recommended Defaults. Click Reset and the associations will be back to default. You can watch one of our videos to learn more about file associations. Find the link in the description.  I have already shown you how to add system icons, but to restore application shortcuts, you'll have to create new elements, so right-click on the desktop, New, Shortcut. Now click Browse and show the path to the necessary application. Then click Next and finish. Alright, this shortcut is ready, now follow the same steps to create others. Finally, if all the tricks I have shown you still don't work, the only thing left to do is to reinstall or recover the operating system. You can see how to do it by watching special videos in our channel. You will find the links in the description.


The Nash-Sutcliff efficiency, NSE, and Kling-Gupta efficiency, KGE, are two commonly used metrics in hydrological modeling. NSE measures how well a model performs compared to the observed data, while KGE measures how well a model performs compared to a benchmark. Both metrics have limitations, however, as they do not take into account the variability of the data or the accuracy of the model predictions. As such, it is important to understand the differences between these two metrics and to consider other evaluation methods when assessing the performance of a hydrologic model.

Welcome back to the Trade Hacker Mindset. In this episode, I want to talk to you about disrupting bad trading patterns. Trading the markets can be difficult to master and seemingly just out of reach. Professional traders have a secret.  It requires the Trade Hacker Mindset. All right, so let's jump into this topic of disrupting your bad trading patterns or your bad trading behaviors. Now, I want to preface this topic by saying this assumes that you are actually already keeping a trading journal. Because as we've talked about in past episodes, for you to understand and realize and be aware of and detect bad patterns in your trading, you have to be journaling those trades. And assuming you are doing so, what you're going to find is that you typically don't have a ton of different problems. Rather, you have one or two problems that really kind of manifest themselves in a bunch of different ways. For example, you might have an issue of missing out on good trades or the fear of missing out on good trades or going into a trade and having a specific exit level, but then kind of ignoring that stop-loss level. Or you might have a tendency to trade size that's too big for your account. Or a big one that I see all the time is taking winning trades off too early. So on the surface, all these different problems may seem different and they require a different plan of action and a different process. But the reality is it may be just one or two things that is causing all of these different issues. And if you get to the root of those one or two things, it could really help solve a variety of the problems that you see yourself having in your trading. I've seen this many times, not only in my own trading, but for the hundreds or thousands of traders that I've interacted with over the years, that if you can identify that core issue, that core bad trading pattern, then many of the other trading difficulties will just kind of fall into place over a short period of time. And that's why it's so important that when you're tracking your trades, when you are documenting your trades in a trading journal, it's not just the date you entered, it's not just the entry price, it's not the exit price. It's not whether you had a positive or a negative P&L, but it's the actual feelings and thoughts that were going through your mind or that you were actually feeling while you were in the trade that that's a very, very critical thing to document. So if you can really become self-aware, if you can really start to feel yourself as you're going through a trade, and by that I mean, does your chest get tight if the trade starts going against you? Do your muscles tighten up? Do you start calling yourself names as things are happening? Do you talk to the actual stock that you're trading and call the stock names? Hey, I've been, no judgment. I've been there, I've done all of those things. But the reality is those things can actually be problematic in our psyche around the mindset of trading and how we should be thinking and trading in more of a peaceful type of environment. Because what happens is often this core issue, this core pattern will actually involve a feeling that recurs for you over and over that actually disrupts positive, good decision-making in your trading. So if you're in trades and you have periods of anxiety or frustration or lack of self-worth or self-defeat, how this feeling impacts your trading can vary from day to day. And this can in turn cause multiple mistakes in your trading, which makes you think that you have a dozen different problems. But the reality is if you fix that one core issue, that one core feeling, it could actually let the other things fall into place in a short period of time. You know, here's an example of something that I've actually been doing personally in my day trading. And that is, there are certain situations where you'll enter a trade, the trade will move against you and it's actually a good time to add to that particular position. But what I found is that when I would add to a position, it would actually cause me to start managing the trade after that incorrectly. And so what I've begun doing is I get into the trade and if it moves against me from the way that my rules are structured and I need to get out, I just get out of the trade. Now, what I can do is I can re-enter the trade, okay? Now, because think about this and if you haven't really been self-aware of how you feel when this happens, I want you to try it because here's what happens to me. Is if I'm in a losing trade and I just get out, if I close out the trade, it takes all of this weight off my shoulders. It clears my mind. And so now that I'm, I mean, almost instantaneously, now that I'm not in the trade, I can look at the chart and I can automatically see things much more clearly. And if I clearly see a situation where I should be entering that trade, even though I just got, I just closed out a losing trade going in the same direction, I have such clarity now that re-entering that trade can sometimes be the best situation. Sometimes I look at it and I say, gosh, I should have even probably closed that out a little sooner. But whatever the situation is, closing that trade and getting clarity and taking a fresh look, maybe even stepping away from your computer, taking a deep breath, doing some type of physical activity, and then coming back and looking at it, it's a whole new world and can create clarity around a trade that you may not even realize how advantageous that can be. I'll tell you this, it has done wonders for my performance and my trading and my methodology, and I think it would probably work for most of you as well. Because here's another piece to that, and here's what it does, is we've heard of situations where you're in a rut, you keep doing the same thing over and over, and what you need is some type of pattern interrupt. And so by closing out the trade, you're interrupting what you're doing, by stepping away from your computer, you're interrupting what you're doing, by doing some type of physical activity, you're interrupting what you're doing, by focusing on your breathing, you're interrupting what you're doing, and all these things together just create peace in your mind, it creates space in your mind so that when you come back and look at the chart, you have a whole new perspective, and it's crazy how beneficial this can be. So I really implore you all to try it, even if it's not a major situation, like an exaggerated situation like I'm talking about, I'm just talking about if you're in a trade and you just are not quite sure, you just aren't quite sure if you should stay in the trade, close it out, you can always re-enter. I mean, commissions are so negligible today, the day trading platform that I use, there's zero commission, so what am I losing? I'm not even losing out on commission if I close the trade and re-enter it. All I'm doing is I'm taking that situation that I'm in, I'm ending it, and I'm restarting. It's such a powerful mental strategy to use that I hope you try it. Brett Steenbarger is a trading psychologist and one of his books is called The Psychology of Trading. If you haven't read that, it's a good book that you should pick up. But one of the points that he makes in that book is that the key to disrupting problem patterns is to alter the state you're in when those problems first appear. So what that says to me is that you've got to become aware of these patterns, aware through your journaling of your trades, aware through conscious, repetitive thinking about what am I feeling right now? How am I feeling? Am I feeling anxious? Am I feeling tight? Are my muscles tightening up? Am I calling myself names? Am I calling the market names? Am I calling the stock and trading names? All these things are things that you need to be consciously, actively, repetitively asking yourself to a point where I'm asking myself these things every couple of minutes, especially when I'm day trading, when I'm in it, when I'm focused, I am constantly asking myself, how am I feeling right now? How would I feel if I close this trade out? How, you know, am I anxious about this trade? Even, you know, I've talked about, you know, a lot of times it's if a trade is going against you, but it's the same thing if a trade is going in your favor. Are you starting to feel too euphoric?   Trade too many contracts. You know, trade, just trade too big a size overall or over trade, you start taking trades that are not actually good setups because you just think that every trade's gonna be a winner. And what happens is, I mean, for me, some of my worst trading occurs when I focus on my P&L. You know, I've talked about this over and over and over again and I wanna reiterate it is that now I actually hide my P&L. So when I'm looking at my platform, all I'm looking at is the charts. I can see my entry price. I even recently removed the P&L percentage because then I would, you know, find myself in my head calculating, okay, so if I use $10,000 to enter this trade, I'm up 10%, so that's a thousand bucks. So subconsciously I caught myself calculating what I'm up or down in the trade because I had the percentage on there. So now the only thing I have on there is the trade price and that's just for reference. So when I'm trying to scale out or get out of the trade but having any type of financial goal, any type of P&L related goal or P&L related focus can be detrimental because what it would do for me and everybody's a little bit different is it can work a couple of different ways. One, if I think, okay, I'm up X amount of dollars on this trade, sometimes it'll cause me, depending on my mood, sometimes it'll cause me to take a trade off too early or sometimes if I have a loss, I won't want to close that trade and book that loss because I think I'm just gonna stay in it even though I know I should get out, I'm gonna stay in the trade because then it will come back and I won't have to book that loss. So it can work both ways and so any type of focus on the P&L can be destructive to your trading. The key is to refocus. It's to put your attention on the process. It's to put your attention on the charts and your methodology of what is the chart telling you? Is it based on your methodology? Is it telling you to stay in the trade? Is it telling you to get out? The P&L is irrelevant, okay? The P&L is going to be what it is. You know, based on the position size that you entered the trade, that it's within your wheelhouse of the risk that you're willing to take on the trade or at least it should be. If you're trading too big, that's another story but as long as you put on a position size that's in your wheelhouse of the risk that you're willing to accept on the trade, then who cares about the P&L until you're out of the trade? It should not be a relevant thing. And so getting back to what I kind of took a roundabout way of getting to this topic but getting back to what I mentioned before about the psychology of trading and the key to disrupting your problem patterns is to alter the state that you're in when you physically change your environment, you experience the world and you process information differently. You know, we talked about this. I had Rich Friesen on the podcast recently and he talked about, he's a trading psychologist and he talked about working with his clients from a perspective of actually physically changing their environment. And he went to an extreme of even having, he had one client who had three different hats, actual physical hats that they put on their head. One was the researcher. So when he was researching trades or analyzing charts or looking for trades, he had one hat on, okay? When he took that hat off, he put another hat on and then he was the risk manager. So that, you know, that's now, okay, how much do I want to risk? What's my position size? He put that hat on. And then he would take that hat off and put on another one and now he was the executioner. He was the guy who actually placed the trades, pushed the buttons. And by physically doing that, he could compartmentalize those different, you know, methodologies within his trading to make sure that he was always doing things correctly. And so it's so powerful to change that state. And another way you can do that is actually to talk out loud during a particular trading situation. You know, one thing that I think is pretty helpful for me is that I run the live trading room every, you know, each morning from the start of the market from 8.30 AM for the first 90 minutes until about 10 AM. And so I am talking to our community. I am giving my thoughts out loud. And this actually helps me process information. And I'm getting, you know, instant feedback via our chat. And it kind of helps me process things. Now, this is something that even if I'm not streaming live, this is something that I do anyway. This is something that I actually talk through trades as I'm viewing them and saying, okay, this is happening. This is what I feel. This is what I think. And it actually speaking it out loud will do one of two things. It'll help you process it to make better trading decisions. And it'll also help process. If you're saying things that are not true, almost that you're saying things that you don't believe to be true, you're gonna catch yourself doing that and you're gonna help yourself process those things to revert back to making better decisions. Because depending on what duration you're trading, you know, if you're day trading, you don't, and if things are moving quickly and you don't always have time to journal and write down every detail, when you talk things, talk through things out loud, that's going to serve as a bit of an audio trading journal to your mind to help you process that information more efficiently. Now, if you're swing trading, you're putting on positions that you're in for a matter of days or weeks, then you have plenty of time to document those things and that's where a written journal really can be helpful. Now, I do both. Sometimes I'm documenting things during my day trades as I'm doing them, but for the most part, I'm doing that after I get done. And then swing tradings, I'm doing it at entry, I'm doing it when I exit, I'm doing it if I have feelings during throughout the trade. So with that, it just kind of depends on your style, your methodology and the duration that you're trading.  What if you could eliminate some of those? What if you could eliminate 25% of those big losers? What impact would that have on your overall profitability at the end of the month, at the end of the year? So while we don't wanna focus on our P&L while we're in a trade, if we're looking at our trading journal after the fact and going through and looking for patterns and seeing what could have been done to make my profitability so much better when you see these little chunks of large losses and how can you mitigate or minimize or eliminate some of those mistakes, well, then you're interrupting a pattern that you're seeing so that now when you're in a trade and it starts to go against you, you're gonna be quicker to cut those losses as opposed to letting them grow because you know, you focused at the end of each day on seeing, okay, one of the ways I have to eliminate losses and become more consistently profitable is if I can eliminate these big losses. So if you get into a trading situation and it starts to go against you, maybe you won't let it go, get to a point where it's a bigger loss and maybe before you would have. So that's another way of just pattern interrupting some of these bad trading behaviors. So to wrap things up, you know, I've just kinda thrown a lot of different things out here but I think the focus really just needs to be try to find just one negative pattern that has accounted for the majority of your losing trades and try to identify that common trigger for that pattern. Then just take one, just select one method for trying to interrupt that pattern when you notice one of those triggers occurring. So I hope this was helpful if you wanna be part of a vibrant community, go to community.navigationtrading.com. We have hundreds of traders interacting on a daily basis, helping each other, try to become the best possible traders we can. Community.navigationtrading.com. I look forward to seeing you on the inside and we'll see you in the next episode.


The IRS auditor actually told me, cleanliness is next to godliness. Remember, cleanliness is next to godliness. So make it kind of clean, but not too much. Amanda, more ambiguous on the dusting. And I was like, well, yeah, maybe. But I'd rather try to emulate God himself rather than some super clean dude that just happened to be sitting next to him. Look at you guys.  Sack?  And that doesn't even make sense. Come on. You know what I mean?   So the super clean murderer dude just happened to be next to God just before God spited the snooper clean murderer dude casting him into the fiery pits of hell.  Both seconds, honey. The rubbing alcohol hand sanitizer, the clean freak bathed in every 15 minutes, bursting into a ball of flames on the way down. Like, I don't want to emulate that guy.


The situation is cool. It's about kind of the first thing where you see reflexes changing now. I know some of you are going, well, I saw the reflexes change with the modal action pattern. Well, it's more like they ended. They begin and they end at a certain window, right? So a modal action pattern wasn't there on a particular day and the next week it was. And then five years later, that modal action pattern goes away, right? That's the maturation, right? So we're talking about the reflex itself. So reflexes themselves will actually change. This is the most basic learning response out there. You don't get anything more basic than this in terms of learning. It's the simple modification of reflexes. This is not Pavlovian conditioning, mind you. This is even more simple than that. This is habituation, where you get used to. You habituate to something, right? Salivation example, look at the oranges and the limes. Or lemons and limes, sorry. Lemon, lemon, lemon, lemon, lemon, lemon, lemon. As every time I provide that to you, right? Squirt you with lemon, squirt you with lemon. You can salivate, you can salivate, you can salivate, you can salivate.  And eventually you're not gonna hardly salivate at all. Then all of a sudden I go and squirt you with the lime or let you smell it and that salivation level goes right back up. I'm even salivating looking at these, which is really annoying when I'm trying to lecture. But maybe I'm still hungry, I don't know. So we're salivating. So the repeated presentations of the lime, well I guess that is an orange. Whatever, it doesn't matter if it's an orange or a lime, but you get the idea, it's a lime in my head. So the lime, then repeated presentations, you will decrease your salivation to that. But it's not that you ran out of saliva or that you're just not hungry anymore and we can test that by just switching the stimuli. So we switch and present the lime, lemon, lemon, lime. Jesus, I put all these oranges and lemons, similar color, right? So those are oranges, maybe they're lemons, I don't know. But then, so we do the lemons over and over and over again and it would present to you the lime and then the salivation will come right back. So the fact that you're changing your reaction to the lemon is an indication that you're habituating to it. So a habituation to that particular stimulus. This is stimulus specific. Again, because it's changing, right? You're decreasing that saliva response, the salivation response to the presentation of that same fruit, right? And then when I just changed the stimulus a little bit I could give you a lime or I could give you a hamburger or something and your salivation levels come right back up. That's habituation, showing you that it's stimulus specific. Habituation, we're gonna come back and revisit this. It is, it plays a role in all sorts of stuff including operant conditioning, which is kind of a surprise. We'll come back and talk about that. Here's another example of habituation. All right, this is not, the one on the right should really be there that you'll see. So the left one, this is a study. So if you present that grid, the one that's the big one that's up there right now to infants, they'll look at it. You present it again and they'll look at it for less amount of time. You present it again and they'll decrease. So with each repeated presentation they decrease the amount of time that they look at that particular stimulus. But if you change the stimulus a little bit and you're probably doing it right now, it's because it's really hard for me not to look at it, you'll tend to stare at that for a bit longer. Interestingly enough, with repeated presentations it actually gets the amount of time that you look at it it gets more intense and then it'll start to decrease. So the more complex the stimulus, the longer it takes to habituate to it. And in fact, you actually go through a sensitization process which is increasing your responding. So it jumps up, the amount of responding that you have increases towards the more complex stimulus and then it decreases. Whereas the other one just simply decreases. It doesn't go through that because it's very simple, very complex. Think about it in terms of arousal. The really tight looking grid there, that one's like it's probably making your eyes a bit wonky, right? It's kind of making your system go, yeah, that bothers me. The other one just like, okay, whatever. That's arousal, it's system arousal. The more we arouse the system, longer it's gonna take things to change and stuff like that. So we'll get back and talk about that stuff later as well. Okay, here's some additional examples of habituation for you. As you might imagine, the grandfather clock is a great example. If you've been around one, they're really annoying. Right, first anyway. And then after a while you just don't hear it anymore. And that's a habituation process. There's tons of examples of these things. Live near some train tracks, dripping water faucet, those types of things. After a while you just don't hear it. It just disappears. It's still there. And if you focus on it, you can attend to it. You can direct your attention and then hear the clock again, that sort of thing. Spontaneous recovery will happen here on occasion. Spontaneous recovery is where the response just jumps right back, okay? Where all of a sudden you can hear the grandfather clock again, this isn't as much to do with times as it has to do with other experiences and things, but your book covers a little bit about that. Spontaneous recovery is just the jumping back of the response, right? That it had once been habituated away, if you will. What affects this? The frequency of the stimuli presentation, the rate of the stimulus presentation. So if I present it to you over and over and over and over again, very fast. Just constantly going after it. You're gonna habituate it pretty quick. If it's just over once in a while, you're not gonna habituate it as fast. You need a lot of repeated exposures in order for this to happen, okay? So there's lots of factors that affect habituation. There's more than what I'm covering here. Oh, excuse me. Just know that it's a pretty cool process and it happens on pretty much every species out there.


So how many of you are aware of SPDX license expressions? How many of you know those? How many of you are familiar with the underlying UML model that implements the license expressions? Okay, more than I thought. So I'm gonna talk a bit about what we're doing. Now licensing has been around in SPDX for quite some time. And so I'm just gonna focus in on what we're doing in SPDX 3.0 with licensing. 80% of this is about the model and there's one change to license expressions. So those of you that are interested in the model, the five or six of you, you'll get a lot of information. The rest of you, you'll learn about the UML model through the process. So in terms of generally what, oh, I gotta look at the, oh wait a second, I can see it there. Okay, in terms of, okay, thanks. Perfect. Yeah, that's big enough, thank you. So basically the SPDX 3.0 carries forward most of what we've been doing in SPDX 2.3. There are a few important changes, however, and that's what I'll be focusing in on. And then in terms of the license expression, the one change is we're adding in license additions. So in SPDX 2.3, you can only have license exceptions, the with clause that point to something that's defined in the license list itself. With 2.3, you can have with your own license additions and so you can define them yourself. That's the biggest change that we have in the expression. So pretty much what you were expecting before. Now in terms of the model, one of the biggest changes that we've made is we split the model into really almost like two different models for implementing the licensing. One is called the simple licensing and it's very simple. It really has a couple of fields in it and it basically has a complete license expression string. So if all you care about is license expressions, which may be a lot of you, you can represent that in the model with a single class that has a string that's your license expression. If on the other hand you wanna do some more rigorous processing, you really wanna get down and do some analysis on it and break down what are all the components of this expression, we have the expanded license and expression class. So we split those into two different things. Another big change that we made in the model is that we used to have them as properties of the element. So if you had a license concluded or a license that's been declared, those would be properties directly on the element. And as Rose explained earlier, the downside of doing that is that if you have an SBOM that has an element, say a package, and you later decide what the concluded license is, very typical by the way, you would have to create a new package element because they're immutable and to add that conclusion in. So what we've done in 3.0, we've moved them over to a relationship. So basically now, rather than having a concluded license property, you'd have a relationship with a relationship type concluded license that goes from the package to the license. So that's a fairly significant structural change in the model. So let's talk a little bit more about the license model components that are there. So at the very top level, you have a license and that license can be either a listed license or custom license, custom license being something that you define yourself. Listed license is something that's been vetted by the licensing workgroup within SPDX and you have similarly exceptions. These are the things that go after the width. And then there's a complex structure of complex licensing structure where we have the ands and the ors and how we structure those within the model. And then we have a couple special values which is the non-license and the no assertion license. So basically the way we group these into the different classes is any license info can be all of those things above and then we have the non-license and the no assertion license to represent those other values. So this just gives you a little bit of a visual of how this may look like when you have the expression on the top and how that breaks down into the model. So you have an Apache license and parenthetically an MIT or an ETL 1.0. So in the model that at the top level that's a conjunctive license set that represents the and and it breaks down into the license Apache 2.0 and then the other part of this is the disjunctive license set which has the MIT and or later operator and that has a property that points off to the ETL 1.0. So that just kind of gives a little bit of a visual of how you would relate license expressions to the complex licensing. So in terms of the, see I don't even, the different types of licenses, there are these, I guess I mentioned this before, the listed licenses, the custom license are the ones to implement yourself. And similarly on the exceptions, there's the license exceptions that are defined and then there's the custom exceptions and these are all put after the with. I think I'm kind of repeating myself there a little bit. So the new custom license additions that are there, we decided to use the term addition rather than exception because it's a little bit more general. You basically can define them in your SPDX data. Similar to the way do you do the external license references that are there. In terms of how we relate these back, we are continuing on with what we did in 2.3 with the declared and the concluded license. Again, the difference being their now relationships as opposed to properties. And there's a few open issues that are still being left to work through and I left a link if you want to follow up on those and that's pretty much it. All right.


The driver featured in today's video is the most expensive driver ever tested on this channel. I am almost scared to hit what is effectively a thousand dollar driver. And there is, of course, the idea that a driver costing that much is not gonna be accessible for many golfers. So before we go any further, one question needs answering. Why would we feature it on this channel?  This club is, of course, from Japanese premium brand Zexio, and we've already tested Zexio 10 and Zexio 12 models of driver in the last few months on this channel, and I've got to admit, I was far more impressed than I expected to be. But this is, of course, no ordinary Zexio product. This is their flagship model, and it's known as Zexio Prime. And there is a full lineup of irons, fairway woods, hybrids, and, of course, today we're gonna feature top of the tree, the thousand dollar driver.  I've read from Zexio that it is basically the gold standard of luxury performance and design. Well, for me personally, I'd like it to a piece of jewellery, and it's almost too exotic for the muddy fairways of the UK. I'm almost too scared to hit this thing. Now, once again, a key element to this Zexio product is the quality and build of the shaft itself. It's very much a premium shaft in there, lying up right throughout the whole set, to be honest with you. And it's extremely light, it's extremely different, and this counter-balance system that they incorporate into their shafts can be found in all the Zexio product range. This one I'm using today is 36 grams in weight. It's a regular flex, but the big surprise is it feels nothing like that in terms of its weight and nothing like that in terms of its flex. Now, that is a super solid ball that's extremely long and extremely different in terms of, like I said, the flex and the weight because I swung that club exactly as I would do normally, and that would be around 93, 94, maybe 95 mile an hour out here on the course. That clubhead speed would not suggest that I could use this kind of shaft, but it does, and that counter-balance system really does help me with tempo and with distance, and the overall thing baffles me completely, but either way, I can't deny that this super lightweight system in these Zexio products really does work. So we've determined that the shaft plays a major part in what makes this a thousand pound driver. I would also suggest that the way this thing is put together in terms of the clubhead, also plays a major part in terms of the overall cost, but the other thing in terms of the technology within the Zexio product lineup is this active wing, this sort of airflow technology which helps you, in theory, square up that driver head at a dress. Now, to me, it's almost a bit of a far-fetched story, one that is difficult to believe, but in all the Zexio reviews that we've done so far, it really does suggest that the theory does actually work. But in all the Zexio products, we've seen premium shafts and we've seen pretty much premium heads, and they also cost a fair few quid. We've also got active wing technology in all those driver heads as well. So the question still remains, why is this driver a thousand dollars? Well, before I reveal what I think you're actually paying a thousand dollars for, I wanna ask you the question. I know I've got an audience out there that's not adverse to spending money on products when it matters, when you can see some visible difference in terms of performance.  I'd be really interested to know. So in that comment section below, I just want a simple yes or no that'll do. Let's see if we can get one back up the fairway and leave a wedge in on this par five at Cardin. One thing I've just noticed in just to back up this active wing and the counterbalance system is just have a look at this club face and just how many times I have found the center of this club face and I haven't found the heel nor the toe to be quite honest with you. So either my game is improving dramatically or something is working in terms of this system but either way, that's an incredibly good pattern in terms of finding the center of the club face which again furthermore shocks me. Now as you'd expect with a thousand dollar driver you get a fairly nice head cover to say the least. The whole thing is premium, there's no doubt about it but like I said, that price is premium as well but I've reviewed this thing quite extensively. I came here for a couple of rounds a few days ago and had this driver in play and what you'll see is I can't remember maybe seven, eight drives and each one of them is straight. Each one of them is fairly long to be honest with you for again, sort of relative to my club head speed, the distance carried is every bit and a bit more than I would expect from the very best that I've tried. So there's no doubt about it for me that this thing works. My issue is obviously and your issue would be the same is how do they get it to a thousand dollars when Zexio 12, Zexio 10 sort of performed equally as well in my opinion and I was equally as baffled by how this lightweight system works and don't ask me to answer that question because I've got nothing that can actually quantify it. All I would say to you is don't be put off by the lightweight of this shaft because I think far more men's golfers would be far better trying this kind of thing out. Don't dismiss it at all because like I said, it's nothing like what you'd expect. All I'm sure you see me hit, you'll notice my swing has stayed fairly consistent in terms of club head speed and it hasn't varied. I haven't tried to slow down compared to my normal driver which would be a 55 gram stiff shaft and it has remained incredibly stable and that's why for me the counterbalance system, this active wing system, whatever it is that makes this thing work, it just does. So is this driver worth a thousand dollars? I would say absolutely not. I ain't paying a thousand dollars for any golf club I'm afraid. But is it worth a thousand dollars? Well, I think it depends what it is that you want to put in your bag. This, like I said, is exotic. It's a piece of jewelry. It's far more kind of bling than I have ever seen in terms of a golf club before. It's designed predominantly for the Japanese market and I can't pretend to know or understand what the Japanese market looks like, what they're kind of after. But this is an expensive piece of kit. It looks like an expensive piece of kit. But for me, I can get the same performance out of Zexio 12, which is really, really good. So it's an exceptionally good driver, but it's a price point that isn't necessarily for me, but might be for you and on this channel. We never dismiss product based on its price. We give everyone a fair crack of the whip. I'm gonna hit one more drive. I'm gonna see if we can finish off with something that is as good as what I was doing just a few days ago. Well, that's as good as I've got. That's carried that bunker by a fair old way. And like I said, I can't hit any better. I've never hit a driver more consistently or further than I have any of the Zexio drivers to be quite honest with you. So I'll leave it there. All I would say is maybe not in your budget, but certainly some of them are. I would give them a go. Don't dismiss the Zexio range of products. They are super, super good. That's me done. Thanks for watching. Also quick thank you for everybody who has joined in our other channel, which is testing the tips. Make sure you hop on over there and take a look and subscribe to me testing tips from fellow golf YouTubers. It's flying right now. And I'd urge you to be a part of it as well. Right, I'm all done. Thanks for watching. See you all tomorrow night.
