Avalon King Armor Shield G.O.A.T nano ceramic coating
The Z4 M Coupe originally had been ceramic coated with Avalon King’s Armor Shield IX coating about 3 years ago. Decided that it probably needs a new coating, the water just wasn’t beading off of it fast enough.
Washed it using Griot’s super concentrated car wash, then Griot’s Iron and Fallout remover, then clayed with a synthetic clay bar, followed by Griot’s Correcting Cream to strip what’s left of the original Armor Shield IX coating, followed up with Griot’s Perfecting Cream, then prepped with IPA spray and finished with the G.O.A.T coating.

I think the Nikon Z fc gets a bum rap
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.Год назад
If you search for reviews of the Nikon Z fc, you'll probably get a lot of reviews that are of a negative tone, to the effect that "it doesn't fit in any niche" or ask questions like "what exactly is this camera for?" I am going to try and make a compelling case that there is a market for the Z fc, and that most of the reviewers failed to grasp why Nikon created this camera.

Are you indian
Use your words bro
Dude i have been trying for over a month to figure this out. Ticks according to speed, faster when going faster Stops when breaks applied Right rear wheel Rotated tires and stayed in rear Started after new pads installed Turning and bumps make no difference Pretty sure this is the problem Just break pads I was very close to replacing yhe wheel bearing and/hub Saved me a lot of trouble finding this Was incredibly hard to find the same sound/fitting symptoms So thanks for posting this
I have a cupra 280.... Clicking started driving me insane had pads and discs replaced in December last year recently this noise started. I had a wheel bearing replaced yesterday and still making the noise took it to another mechanic and he diagnosed the issue within a minute.... The pads are moving around and don't fit...... I was about to replace the drive shaft too so now pnly pads to look at.
is this edgewood hs

Good stuff man!!!
Looking good, few mistakes only, even fewer in the net. May your back get well soon!
Playing through the pain!
I just demoed the 23 version out of curiosity. It was fast through the air and I was able to hit some missile forehands. However, in match play it was bit more unpredictable since I had to adjust my arm speed based on the different shots I was facing. I was hitting long as a result. I was 95% sure I was going to add it to my bad after day 1 but after the honeymoon wore off, I decided to hold off and just stick to my #1 girl - 23 gravity pro.
"Dead" is definitely the wrong word for sure How do you like the overall performance practicing with them?
For the ball to not get stuck I applied the "Professional-Grade Moldable Plastic Pellets by Polly Plastics" from amazon. I applied it on that panel in a slopy mold and glued it. To fix the issue of the ball not feeding I molded more of that noted mold and shaped the mold so that the crosswise shaft is further raised up a bit more than an inch and glued it on. On the dial section for adjusting the ball height from the luanch pad I appied a white "Fine Paint Marker for Rock Painting-Stone, Ceramic, Metal, Glass, Wood,Set of 6 Paint Pens High Volume Ink High Volume Ink for DIY Craft" from Amazon. I applied it on the black line marker for better visibility even from a distance. On the opening of the bag from the top entrance to place the racket I placed an elastic fiber string crosswise (made two a heated metal hole on both sides) and that is where I hang my towel. There's more but this is enough for now. Thanks for letting me share.

Z fc is a fun camera to use and it works really well. It is my travel kit. Love having the FM/FE style body and controls. I think it would make a fine "only" camera for anyone who just loves taking pictures wherever they go. If shooting events, portraits, sports, large-scale landscape, etc. then, no the Z fc is not the best choice. Just depends what you need it for.
You want to try living in the UK...weather becomes irrelevant because it's always shit.
You favor 50 not 35
Food for thought. The Nikon D6 only had a 20mp sensor at full frame. 20mp DX will get you are really really nice 13x19 print if not larger. In comparison the sensor in the Z7II, Z9 and D850 will get you a 20"x30" print. Now talking glass the full range of Z S lenses plus all the F glass with the FTZ and you have choices. I do like the retro look of the Zfc. I also liked the look of the Df but it has a 13mp sensor and really needed a refresh after 5 years but sadly will never get it.
Still have a couple of FM bodies - love the feel of them and Nikon really got the ergonomics right. The only thing better than a Nikon Z body is a Nikon Z lens ... 🦘
FM bodies are the best. And not just for nostalgia reasons. They're practically indestructible. 40+ years later, with a little bit of cleaning, the black FM2 still looks great and sounds like it's fresh out of the factory.
I have the 28mm 2.8 lens on a Z5 and as you said the images are pretty good. It's a great carry around camera/lens combination but unfortunately the other prime lenses in the Zed prime range are too big & bulky. I can use my old manual focus lenses but the FTZ adaptor increases its size again. Great video!
Is this stick intended for more advanced players, 4.5 and above? I’m a 4.0 senior , all-court senior… maybe the 98 or 100 would be better for me???
I mean, if you're to read all the reviews online, yeah, everyone says it's intended for more advanced players. My personal opinion, you play with what suits your game? I'm a big-ish guy, 6'0", 200 lbs, 50 years old but probably in the best shape of my life. I find this racquet challenging but rewarding to use, you have to generate ALL your power. I used to play with an EZone 100 and then moved onto an EZone 98+, and while both were fantastic racquets, power and spin both came very easy with both racquets. The 95 I learned to swing hard, swing through, and hit with better footwork rather than just sticking my racquet out there and hope it connects. The ONE aspect of this racquet that I agree with all reviewers. It swings much bigger than it looks. Don't let the 95 sq. in. size intimidate you, it plays much more like a 98. In fact, I'd spend a week demoing the VCore Pro 97 (the base model), and I'd say the VCore 95 plays more like a 98 than the VCore Pro 97. I'd say try it, demo it if you can. When I tried the previous generation VCore 95, I felt far more connected to it than I did with the EZone 98+. I knew I was giving up power but I didn't mind it. It took a year to get my forehand and serves back up to the power level I was swinging with on the 98+, and I haven't lost any more control I gained with the 95...And my one-handy backhand is far more dialed in with the VCore 95 vs. the EZone 98+.
@@2321thehack Thank You!
Don' take it too seriously, but yours amms every second is extremely distracting
I agree. I have a Z6 among others and the Z fc is just as much a camera as the rest of the Z Nikon line up. I have to admit, at first I thought it was a gimmicky "toy" camera as others put it. But after a year just using FF mirrorless as a hobby, I wanted a smaller crop sensor body for longer reach and portability. I compared the Z fc, against the XT5, Canon R7, and even Sony A7C FF because of it's small size. The deeper I dived into it, the more the Z fc made sense. Low light/High ISO performance: The Nikon 20MP crop sensor is the best APSC sensor ever made IMO. You can see its iterations in the D500, D7500, Z30, Z50, and Z fc. Comparing it's low light performance/high ISO to other cameras just shows how it's ahead in low light performance. The XT4 26mp sensor produces good colors but too much noise at high ISO and colors drop off. Same with the new 40mp XT5. Great Fuji colors but they do not perform well at higher ISO, they start to get visibly noisy at 6400+ and that's where Nikon 20mp sensor shines. Not to mention Fuji lenses are expensive. Sure, there are plenty, but they're expensive, take the $800 Fujinon 70-300 for example, it's not that much of an improvement over the Z DX 50-250. The Fujifilm build quality is also not good compared to Sony, Nikon, Canon. And fanboys will tell you about the film simulations, but I have many amazing film simulation presets in lightroom. Then the 23mm LM WR 1.4 Fujinon is $800, meanwhile the class leading Nikon Z S line 50mm 1.8 is only $500-600, and the Z lens lineup is growing and allowing 3rd party lenses and at the time of writing this there is more Z lenses than Canon RF lenses available. When you take a look at Canon APSC their autofocus is fantastic, possibly the best, but they also suffer in low light/high ISO (possibly due to high pixel density). Fuji fanboys will bash the Nikons, especially DX, but I prefer quality over quantity of features, and the few things the Z30/Z50/Zfc can do, it does very well. I don't need a hundred lenses, just a few really good ones. Pair the Z fc with the kit lens with VR and I have been able to get great pictures at 1/4 shutter. Or the 50-250 for a compact telephoto setup for casual wildlife outings/zoo visits/family sports/air shows. Or pick a Z prime 24mm 1.8 or 35mm 1.8 or 50mm 1.8 for maximum picture qualities. Or 28mm 2.8, 50-250mm DX Z tele, new pancake 26mm 2.8, 40mm F2, 24-200mm Z, 18-140 VR, or dozens of 3rd party lenses like the Voigtlander 23mm f1.2, or old school with the FTZ with 35mm DX or AFP 70-300. So many options! Canons are feature rich in their crop bodies, but they lack small lenses for their crop bodies and their crop bodies are almost the size of the full frame. If the Zfc or Z50 didn't exist I'd probably take the Canon R7 for their AF and dual card slots. Sony used to provide competitive crop sensor cameras but their performance has fallen behind. I compared the Sony A7C full frame side by side with the Z fc and the low light perfomance is about the same. The Sonys get greener the higher ISO you go. If people say the Z fc feels like a toy, they should use one because I found the build quality to be better than the mid range Fujifilm and on par with higher end Fujifilm bodies. The lens selection for Z dx is perfectly fine as you can use any Z lens and + FTZ adapter. The new 26mm F2.8 on the Z fc is a perfect stealth street photography camera that produces stunning results regardless of sensor size. The low light/high ISO performance is incredible. The colors are typical Nikon magic and SOOC files from my Nikons are better than what I got with Fuji/Sony. Not to mention the AF on the Zfc is improved over the Z50 and carries a lot of features/updates over from the Z6/Z7 II. I can keep going on and on but the Z fc is a fantastic little gem, and it's not just for appearance, it really does perform exceptionally and I believe one of the best general use crop sensor bodies ever made, especially for a compact setup with the 26mm f2.8.
I wouldn’t agree with calling it a “toy”- or “fun”-camera. Focus-peaking, ergonomic controls, and long-exposure settings are (to list just a few features) extremely good and useful, as is the versatile flip-screen. It’s a great camera for serious use (in the 2 years I’ve had it). Otherwise, I agree: it’s significantly underrated.
I think it is great fun to shoot with this camera, but I don't consider it being a "toy" either. It may not be a professional tool, but the picture and video quality is more than decent. One feature I do love is the focus stacking mode, which is a great tool for both macro and product photography.
I think there's just a lot of Nikon haters out there. I have the Zfc and also the Fujifilm X100V and I feel like in most cases the Zfc is the superior camera. The one thing that kind of lets the Zfc down is how cheap the bottom plate on the Zfc feels, especially the the battery door. The X100V feels much higher quality in the hand, but the AF is worse, I don't like the colors as much, the evf is worse, it's harder to switch between shooting modes, and the iPhone app from Fujifilm is trash. I ended up getting the official Nikon grip for my Zfc and it made a huge difference in the premium feel of the camera.
you know you van extend racquets using the XTP buttcap? You can extend the 95 fairly easily.
Did not know that... Can you point me in the right direction? URL/Link?
I played with the 2021 vcore 95, and gave up due to the lack of feel. Your commentary on the dampening difference just might tempt me into trying it again 😅
Your forehand is taking the ball too high
I played with the first vcores. I don’t remember if those were the sv. the feel of those is very similar to the 2023.
I'm currently using a 13 year old Babolat Pure drive racquet 100 ( I have slight tennis elbow ) so I know when I move to a new racquet it will take a while to get used too. My game relies on heavy top spin however I really have to put a lot of energy to generate spin and power which really can make me tired at times. I think it's due to the old racquet. I'm thinking I could evolve my game with a new racquet I can put less energy in and reap the benefits of getting easier power and spin. I also enjoy a nice slice and the occasional flat shot. I have no idea what brand I should get but I had seen the ezone and the vcore. I'm open to any brand of racquet so please help me out as I have no clue and what strings should I get and at what tightness! I honestly am struggling because there are so many brands and types etc. Thanks heaps for the replies
I'm more familiar with the Yonex line since I've been playing primarily with them since the 90s. If you want easy power AND spin, you probably won't want the VCore 95. Of any generation. The Yonex VCore 95 is precise and offer control unlike few other Yonex racquets, but they require you to swing out hard to get spin and power. Like REAL hard. For you I'd recommend any of the new EZones, especially the EZone 100. It's 10G lighter than the VCore 95, and offers easy power and with the 100's 16 x 19 string pattern, it offers some good spin potential too. I used to play with the last generation VCore 100 and it's amazing for slices.
Looks so ugly tho...
Wait are you talking about me or the raquet?! 😁
@2321thehack the racket... I bumped into a coach yesterday who gets flowed rackets by yonex and he had that exact racket with him and showed it to me, I concluded that's it looks really well made, but the colours suck and the upper hoop looks really wide like a squash racket, but I'm sure it plays really nice... he agreed
@@thehandseesall It does sort of look like a Squash racket
hmm maybe you can give me your thoughts on this: I currently hit with the 2021 vcore95. I found the 2021 vcore 98 way too stiff (arm issues) so I never pursued it, but with the new one being softer I thought about trying it out for a bit of extra juice/slightly less demanding. Unfortunately getting a demo where I live is next to impossible. Would you say the 2023 vcore98 is LESS stiff than the 2021 vcore95? How would you compare the two? Thanks!
I didn't play them back to back. Compared to the 2021 VCore 98+ I hit with, it wasn't less stiff, or didn't feel like it. Out of the 3 demos I tried (2021 VCore 98+, 2023 VCore 98, and 2023 VCore 95), the 98 was the least favorite. If you currently hit with the 2021 VCore 95 like I do, I would recommend the 2023 VCore 95. It isn't less stiff, but it's a lot more comfortable on the arm. If you want more power, I would actually say the new EZone 98 is more comfortable to hit with IMO.
@@2321thehack Damn haha. That throws a wrench in things. I might just wait until I can try them out. I tried the previous EZone 98 and it felt like too much power for me, although it was very comfortable and I remember hitting a great slice with it. Thanks for the response!
@@fretstain Your assessment is same as mine. That's why I moved to the 95. I've hit with the previous gen EZone and current gen EZone and the new one is even MOAR powerful IMO. I mean, the 23 VCore 98 is not a bad stick. It's just that out of the three I tried, it definitely was not my favorite. But full disclaimer, I'm a HUGE fan of extended racquets. And if the 95 comes in an extended format, I would have 2 in an instant. So I like the VCore 98+ more than I like the 23 Vcore 98. I know that doesn't help you decide, so take it for what it's worth.
@@2321thehack good to know! thanks! I'm honestly not sure. My birthday is coming up so I might just wildcard and either get the new 95 or 98. We'll see haha.
Would you say this vcore 95 is a better racket than the new pure aero 98? I just got the 2023,vcore 95 and just hit one time with it. I like the racket. But I like them aero beam of the Pure Aeros but I don’t like their feel and construction.
How can it be a 95 if it's wider? Mains shorter?
Think of it as a fan shape. The 2 and 10 is slightly wider, the 5 and 7 is narrower.

It looks like it might stop raining this coming week. I want to get a few more hours in before I give any thoughts. So far, the new 95 “feels” better. But I haven’t had enough meaningful hits with it to really give a comparison.
@@2321thehack have you had a chance to have a hit
@@farood5 Yes. Spent 2 hours in a doubles match on Monday and 30 minutes or so with my daughter (she's on her HS tennis team), and about 2 hours in the wet on Sunday. I need to gather my thoughts and there'll be a more indepth "review" on the 95 later, but my first impressions are if you are currently using the last gen VCore95, upgrade NOW. This new VCore 95 is redesigned from the ground up but still retain the swing characteristics of the last gen VCore 95. If you're using an even OLDER VCore 95, you should probably demo it and see, I think it's a fantastic update compared to the last gen. Transition from the older VCore to the new one is easy and nearly seamless. But it IS a demanding racquet. If you've never hit with the VCore 95 before, it's not the easiest racquet to hit with nor the most powerful. It's more forgiving than the VCore Pro 97 line-up, and it's a good balance between a "Pro" stick like the VCore Pros and the VCores or EZones. I'm not an advanced player, so this stick doesn't suit my current skill level. But it is oddly satisfying to hit with and the 16x20 string pattern works well for my onehanded backhand. The 98 or 98+ probably works better for my overall game, but I like using the 95. Long answer short? I've already "placed an order" for 2 new 2023 VCore 95s.
@@2321thehack thanks very much :) did you ever use the xi 98 if so is it worth going for this ?
@@farood5 No I restarted tennis about 4 years ago, the first racquet I picked up after using an old RQ320 from the 90s is a 2018 EZone 100L. I missed all the great Yonex racquets inbetween. :(
Great idea
I know it too well if someone claims the ball wasn't on the line when it clearly was. Thing is, next time I make a clear mistake and the other person doesn't notice it, I won't correct it ;-)
Great vid! I need to work on my service returns and will try this oit
That's about the same setting I am using. I am now placing the bag at the opposite T-line; this way, the balls bounce in the serve box, and I have to hit the balls with less power and more control to avoid them going long. To my surprise, my game has become significantly more consistent; my body automatically adds power when needed (e.g. when I hit a ball close to the ground line). I will eventually have the same slinger bag position that you have right now, but I first want to be as consistent as possible with the setting I have now.
bababooey horn
When I toss the ball to 11 am, I usually get more spin on it, but it's accidental and I once almost pulled a muscle by hitting a ball tossed too far to the left, so gotta get that under control. But when the ball is hit on the left, there is usually topspin on it and it goes inside.
That looks so cool. Very consistent. You know those rallyes where two 4.5 players play hard shots back and forth to each others baselines? This is like that, just a little slower, but still clean hitting. Impressive!
Thank you for the kind words! I think she definitely has the potential to reach 4.5 if she keeps playing and developing. Hoping to keep her love of the game up and make it fun for her so she'll keep playing.
Super-In!!! she is saying she wouldn't have gotten it.
Why dont you try the yoke steering wheel for tesla its perfect. Yoke steering wheel is a unique and fun way to steer. This high quality steering wheel has an incredible feel, too. It's a must-have for long road trips! I know where can you get it at a great price 😁😁

Did you tailweight your stick since you added a decent amount of lead up top? Makes a big difference to SW and balance.
No I ended up removing the lead from the hoop as it was starting to affect my elbow after extended play. Then I switched over to an Yonex EZone 98 Plus (the 27.5" version of the 98) and have been playing with that ever since. All the control of the smaller racquet face, with the added 1/2" of leverage. By far my favorite stick so far.

Good insights. For your forehand, are you thinking about rotating your torso first, or do you just trust that comes automatically with your swing?
That's a great insight. I've actually gone through and done a frame-by-frame comparison and it looks like I initiate my arm the same time my hips fire. I don't use my big core muscles enough that's for sure. Probably SHOULD fix that first.
@@2321thehack You could try elbowing an imaginary foe behind you with your left elbow, that automatically rotates your upper body to the left.
Great video and thanks for the shout out. the adjustments you made to the drill are great and I think the drill is now set up much better. Every ball is being able to be used to help you improve and you can be more focused on the area of improvement. nice job!
Thank you for the tips Nate, really appreciate the help!
Imagine you want to elbow someone behind you with your left arm, that gets your torso rotated counterclockwise/to the left.
That's a great tip. I actually do that with my right elbow with my serve to remember to cock my arm.
@@2321thehack Yeah, let me know how it goes. Focussing on the torso rotation does initially feel a bit stuffy for me, but if I try to hit an "effortless" forehand, I tend to move the arm in isolation, which is not good. It does feel great though when the torso rotates and you can then freely swing through with your right arm.
That is so badass.
140 balls are quite a lot, but it looks like there are no unnatural delays when the balls get jammed up. Do you think the lower feed helps?
The OG version (this is the 2nd replacement they sent) does get jammed up quite often. They (Slinger Bag) fixed something in the mechanism where the tray reverses direction when it senses a jam so it doesn't do that anymore. I believe they made a running production change in mid 2021.
