...Bianchi Via Nirone 7 2005 Alu-Carbon Xenon Compact/Triple Drive Size 59 LiquiGas/Bianchi Team Colours (see photo at botom of review) £574.99 The bike and the ride In late summer of 2005 I purchased a Bianchi Via Nirone 7 from Evans online at the website (http://www.evanscycles.com/) and was impressed with the delivery within 3 days. The parcel was well protected and all I had to do was open one end of the box, wheel the bike out, adjust the handlebar orientation and basically it was good to go riding. I changed the saddle for a Bontrager Race X Lite saddle as an upgrade - saddle selection is a very personal choice for comfort on the long rides. After inflating the tyres to a high pressure (I use 100psi to allow for the humps and bumps on the Great British roads). The handling of this bike with carbon fibre forks, stem and seat post...

Advantages: Feel, Look, Weight, Alignment, Pro useage!
Disadvantages: New price tag! fakes!

...This putter, at the time of its launch, was a true innovation within the golf world. Its still the best, most trusted putter on the market as far as I am concerned. When I got my clubs stolen a couple of years ago I had a 2 ball. I didnt not hesitate to get a replacement asap...I did look on ebay and in the golf shops for a different putter but I realised, after experimentation with several alternatives, craz-e, pro platinum, rossa monza, that the odyssey 2 ball was the favoured putter and it's never leaving my bag. Alignment is one of a kind, quite literally. The weighting deserves an oscar or whatever, its just perfect, the balance and ease of use is second to none. The amount of tour pro's that use thus putter shows just how good it is, if its trusted by the likes of european and usa tour pros you can tell its going to be something... Read review

Advantages: Hard to find
Disadvantages: New balls around

...I bought my Night Hawk Menace in December 1999. This ball is getting on a bit now but if you can still find it you may be on to a winner. Around the time I got it the price was around £150 in the UK. I know they are a lot cheaper in the USA but I guess we are being stitched price wise in the UK. Last year I bowled in two leagues at Tolworth "Charrington Bowl" using the Menace. I achieve 196 and 192 averages in these leagues over approx 120 games in each league. This ball reacts well on most lanes. Depending on how the ball is drilled you can achieve very good scores. I achieved my personal best last year. A 758 over 3 games (best game of 279). Since then this ball has lost a bit of it grip. I have resurfaced a couple of times. I still use this ball but it may be time for a new one. Any suggestions.
