The game Anthony Kim left in 2012 and then returned to in 2024 was very different, and perhaps no aspect was more different than the equipment.

Back in 2012, TaylorMade was still selling a white driver, Callaway just released their first adjustable one, Fujikura was still six years from releasing Ventus and Nike was still making golf clubs. Not to mention the practice of fitting had advanced leaps and

Needless to say, Kim did a lot of catching up between then and his breakthrough win earlier this year in Australia.

With Kim returning on LIV Golf, lot of that re-education fell to Ben Giunta, the owner of the Tour Van, LIV Golf’s lone Tour Truck. On this week’s episode of GOLF’s Fully Equipped, Giunta reflected on what it was like to reintroduce Anthony Kim to modern equipment.

Giunta worked with Kim previously back when he worked as the Nike Tour rep and Kim was coming up as a young player.

“I remember walking down, we were at Doral, and I was walking across the range and about halfway down the range, he sees me and throws his arms out,” Giunta said. “The funniest part actually is I still wear a bunch of Nike garb… He thought I still worked for Nike.”

After the two shared a laugh, they got to work and Giunta brought out a “this orange box” to watch him hit balls on the range.

“And he’s like, what the hell is this? Yeah, like he had no idea. He didn’t know anything about numbers,” Giunta said. Kim had never used a Trackman before.

Kim had always relied on his feel and watching ball flight to determine if equipment was working because launch monitors simply weren’t as useful as they are now.

But he and Giunta slowly got to work as Kim got back into the swing of playing regular competitive golf. As Kim got more in the groove, his speed came back and even increased, resulting in more changes to his bag.

It eventually culminated in his win at LIV Golf Adelaide in February.

Arsenal will continue their Premier League title chase when they face West Ham United in a London derby on Sunday at the London Stadium.

Arsenal head into the match full of confidence after reaching the UEFA Champions League final for the first time in 20 years.

The Gunners defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 to secure a 2-1 aggregate victory in the semi-final.

Manager Mikel Arteta and his players are also leading the Premier League title race after Manchester City played a dramatic 3-3 draw with Everton.

Arsenal are now five points ahead of City, although Pep Guardiola’s side still have a game in hand.

The North London club also defeated Fulham 3-0 in their last league game and are unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions.

Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres has been one of the team’s standout players this season.

The Swedish forward has scored 21 goals and provided three assists in 51 appearances in his first season with the Gunners. He also has 14 Premier League goals this campaign.

Arsenal’s defence has also improved in recent weeks, conceding just one goal in their last four games.

Meanwhile, West Ham are battling to avoid relegation after suffering a 3-0 defeat to Brentford last weekend.

Coach Nuno Espirito Santo knows his side must start winning quickly to improve their survival hopes.

The Hammers have conceded 61 goals in 35 league matches this season, making them one of the weakest defensive teams in the division.

Despite their struggles, West Ham received positive news as Nuno confirmed that all his players are fit and available for the match.

Arsenal, however, could still miss defender Jurrien Timber, who is recovering from injury, while captain Martin Odegaard is also battling a knee problem.

A victory for Arsenal would strengthen their hopes of winning their first Premier League title in 22 years.

The Minnesota Vikings took their time courting Jauan Jennings. He had made it known this offseason that he was looking for money that paid him like a top-two wide receiver on a team. The Vikings moved around cap space, but they still smartly weren’t going to break the bank.

On Thursday night, Jennings came to his senses and decided that working with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison put him in a really great spot. Now, as the third wide receiver in a dynamic Kevin O’Connell offense, the Vikings have the best trio in the sport.

Jennings Gives the Vikings a New Offensive Ceiling

In recent seasons, the Vikings’ third wide receiver has been either K.J. Osborn or Jalen Nailor. Both are no longer in purple, and each used their elevated exposure with Minnesota to secure a warranted payday. Jennings represents a significantly higher bar than either of them, which is why his deal can be worth up to $13 million.

Minnesota is getting a dynamic talent in Jennings. He operated in a Kyle Shanahan offense that asked him to do a lot for the San Francisco 49ers. With Brandon Aiyuk pouting all of last season, Jennings had plenty of runway to operate on his own.

Not only is Jennings a red zone threat with a 6’3″ stature, but his 212 pounds outman most any defensive back, and he’s an asset in the blocking game as well. In 2024, Jennings posted 975 yards for San Francisco, and he came back with 643 last year. Able to work in the middle of the field, he’s an athletic check-down option and will allow new quarterback Kyler Murray a big target to rely on.

Jennings has found paydirt 22 times in his career and scored a career-best nine times last season. Minnesota routinely struggled when closing in on the goal line last year, and Jennings should be expected to alleviate some of those issues.

There are other talented trios in the NFL, but having the league’s best wide receiver in Jefferson and a legitimate star in Addison, just ahead of Jennings, puts Minnesota over the top. If Murray was hoping to have weapons he didn’t experience with the Arizona Cardinals, he’s been handed an embarrassment of riches when going into this season.

The Vikings played their cards right and landed Jennings at the opportune moment. Now it will be on opposing defenses to pick their poison and decide who they will try to stop.

Brisbane Lions vs Carlton Blues Preview

Carlton’s season is quickly slipping away as the Blues prepare for a daunting Friday night trip to the Gabba to face Brisbane. Another second-half collapse against St Kilda last weekend intensified the pressure on coach Michael Voss, with the Blues now sitting at 1-7 after conceding eight third-quarter goals. Brisbane, meanwhile, looks every bit a premiership contender after dismantling Essendon by 64 points. Zac Bailey, Logan Morris and Kai Lohmann combined brilliantly inside forward 50 as the Lions surged into the top four. The contrast in confidence between these two clubs could hardly be sharper right now. Carlton continues to struggle defensively once momentum swings, while Brisbane’s attacking firepower is becoming increasingly difficult to contain. The Lions also won the most recent meeting between the sides comfortably, and they’ll enter Friday night expecting another strong performance on home turf.

Compared to their second-half showing against England, where they bagged two late tries for a bonus-point, Wales could muster very little after the break in Belfast.

Ireland were utterly dominant with possession and territory, with last year’s player of the championship Aoife Wafer leading the charge.

Travelling fans’ only consolation was a 78th minute Jasmine Joyce try but it was not enough to prevent Wales from leaving empty handed.

“We’re ranked 12th in the world, we played the team ranked 5th in the world and you can clearly see when you’re away from home, you’ve got to be a lot more clinical,” said Wales head coach Sean Lynn.

“We said in the huddle at the end of the game, we’ve got to be better with our composure and accuracy.

“I wouldn’t have said the girls dropped their heads. They stuck at it, stuck to their processes, but Ireland kept the ball really well.

“The girls give everything out there and when you see them upset after the game it’s because they care, they want to be winning, so it is tough.”

The Cryptic Deadeye in Far Far West is a mythic-rarity enemy, and it is naturally quite annoying to deal with them. Gifted with rare intelligence, these foes can dish out some serious damage if you’re not careful around them, and don’t take the necessary steps needed to put them down.

In this article, we will explore some of the ways you can easily deal with the Cryptic Deadeye in Far Far West. Read below to know more.

Exploring different ways to deal with the Cryptic Deadeye in Far Far West

The Cryptic Deadeye has quite low HP, around 70, and this enemy only shows up when you’re playing Far Far West in Hard difficulty, or above. Though this enemy only deals 10 damage per hit, the issue that people come across is its consistency. The Cryptic Deadeye, true to its name, does not miss a single shot. This makes it incredibly frustrating to go up against it in-game.

That said, here are some ways you can deal with them in Far Far West:

1) Using Corruption

Corruption has a short cooldown, and it is one of the best ways to counter the Cryptic Deadeye in Far Far West. Once corrupted, the enemy will fight for you, and upon the conclusion of the spell, it will take 100 damage and then die. It is one of the most convenient ways to deal with this enemy.

2) Interrupting their attacks

The Crpytic Deadeye in Far Far West first locks onto you before they shoot their gun. Now, a great way to not get shot by them is to simply disrupt their lock-on mechanism by shooting at them. When you shoot them, their lock-on will get interrupted, and you can then proceed to shoot them down using the weapons of your choice.

Keep in mind that a singular bullet can disrupt their lock-on, i.e., you can use this mechanic even when you’re running a shotgun. Aim in their general direction when they’re hard-scoping you, and you will be able to evade their attack using this mechanic.
