Aztec Cantera 9

Advantages: It's mine!
Disadvantages: finding my ball - down the middle of the fairway!

...I am a 9 handicapper and play at a local club. When i was looking for a new driver everyone seemed to be recommending cobra. I was not sure why so i went ot my local pro to try the sz 400 out. Well I know why it was being so hgihly rated. The 9 sweet spots mean that you can't not hit it well, it comes of the Milled Titanium Rhombus Oval Face Insert extremely hot and it has cured my slice problem which has often stopped me from winning tournaments. Key features for me: The club is available in 8, 9, 9.5, 10.5 and 12 degree formats offering the best suited launch angle for you. Also the stiff shaft that i purchased with the club suits my fast wing down to a tee! However the regular shaft is recommened for most people. The new dual 304T steel weighting systems pin points the centre of gravity allowing your swing to work just like... Read review

...everytime you go into the sports shops you always see a poster of beckham or rooney modelling a new pair of football boots, but why? so many pairs of new football boots are coming out because people believe that they all help their performance, well some of them do but not a lot. it is mainly in your mind that when you have a new pair of £140 boots on your foot that your a real star and you do play better, they might provide more comfort and a bit more performance but are they really worth the money? wouldnt you be better of spending £40 on a pair rather than spending £140 on the new nike mercurial r9 sg? the nike mercurial have a great design and are the newest boots on the market. they have added curves and grooves that are designed to help tthe delivery of the ball. you decide. thanks for all your comments and ratings...

...to last, which this will. This is a 9 speed model, meaning it'll work on a bike with anything up to 27 gears, but will also work fine with 24 or 21 speed systems (from my experience anyway). Once properly set up with a compatible shifter such as one of Shimano's own (there is also an LX 9 speed shifter, which is just as good value) and a half decent cable shifting is smooth, quick and accurate - you put the shifter in a gear and the mech follows properly. Apart from the more-expensive-than-it-actually-is looks, this mechs main features are its light weight (only 288g), 9 speed compatability, and a number of small but useful things that you usually only see on more expensive models, such as rubber boots to keep dirt out of the cable to keep shifting smooth. The mech can cope with up to a 34 tooth cassette, and right down to 11. The majority... Read review
