Before Keanu Reeves set the trend for dodging bullets in slow motion, Sly Stallone was chiselling his iron jaw, rather than putting his mind to a script in 1986's Cobra. Crime was a disease; he was the cure. It was that simple.
An army of axe wielding serial killers led by the "Nightslasher" are terrorizing L.A. with absolutely no motive. But spare the psychological babble for the films that don't make it seem so cool to wear a trench coat, a pair of aviators, and chew on a match stick in the presence of danger. Stallone's only job as "The Cobra" was to protect a fashion model- who witnessed some of the unmotivated murders- and max out as many psychopaths as possible. It was a great life being an action star.
Whether Stallone meant it or not, Cobra is full of hilarity. Though, surely he must have seen the funny side to a bad guy ...

Advantages: good action scences, well rounded character in Cobretti Disadvantages: a bit long for an action movie like it
This movie from 1986 centers around a cop called Marion 'Cobra' Cobretti, who is part of a special renegade cop unit that deals with special crime cases. We get an introduction to him when he gets rid of a crazy shooter in a supermarket, which also introduces us to the order or cult that Stallone will be up against for the rest of the movie. This cult is lead by the "Nightslasher", here played by Brian Thompson. What I liked about the movie was mainly the character Mario Cobretti, who although he appears a ruthless cop, who even gets reprimanded by it at the start in a police office, seems to have a very humane side to him, which becomes apparent when he meets and is asked to protect Ingrid, a model,who witnessed a murder by the Nightslasher. Overall a great action movie and Stallone is very good as Cobretti. In my personal oppinion ...

Advantages: Excellent allignment, nice even balanced feel. Disadvantages: Not cheap, takes time to get used to.
My overall putting ability was never too bad but somedays it can be just plain awful, i decided after much deliberation that i needed a better tool for the job, i was fed up of missing short putts for par and walking away feeling like i could have done better, so i went out and spent £50 for a 2nd hand Odyssey 2 ball white hot putter - im glad i did, mostly.
First of all i would like to say that to improve at any sport theres nothing like practice, then more practice, this is especially true for golf, and none more so than the art of putting, after all its on the putting green where you play most of your shots (an average score of 90 would usually entail 35-40 putts, you use the putter more than any other club in your bag),
The Odyssey 2 ball white hot putter is no gimme, you wont pick it up and start to hole everything on sight ...
