Advantages: Straighter shots. Sweeter hit. Quality manufacturer. Disadvantages: Not quite so good for delicate chip and pitch shots.
...to keep my golf game up to scratch. (And my handicap in single figures!)
~ ~ The old trusty Wilson blades were consigned to the (already overflowing with old golf paraphernalia!) hall cupboard, and I purchased a set of new Ping ISI cavity back irons. Well, not quite new, (second hand actually) but new to the mad cabbie!
I had used Ping irons before, when I successfully used a set of their old Ping Eye 2 clubs for a couple of seasons in the early 1990’s, so knew that I was buying a set of quality clubs from a renowned manufacturer. You have to be careful these days, as there is such a plethora of golf equipment on the market, it’s easy for an inexperienced buyer to be taken in by the extravagant claims of some somewhat less than reputable manufacturers, who have their lousy equipment made ‘on the cheap’ in Far-Eastern sweat shops...

I bought it a couple months pre-owned, but whoever owned the snowboard last really kept it in prestine condition. I could even hardly tell it was used, somebody was really fond of this board that is all I know. Well, now it is mine, so I am glad whoever owned it last gave it up so I could have it. The Burton Fusion snowboards are very hard to locate and purchase in some part of the United States. So you are basically dealing with a game of trial and error. I...

"Oceanic" is about as appropriate a name as one could possibly think of for this album by avant-garde post-metal band Isis, from 2002. Think of the breadth and power of the ocean, the depth and mystery of the water, and Isis have- perhaps unwittingly,... more
