Deuter Nordic 300

Advantages: Good Pin Action
Disadvantages: May not suit dry lanes

...On the 11th June 2001 at Charrington Bowl using the APEX I bowled a perfect Game of 300. I have been bowling 22 years and the best I had was 11 strikes in a row. The strikes were all in the 1-3 pocket. When I got the first 10 strikes my legs became very wobbly and the last 2 strikes I could not beleive I got them. Well I guess if you persevere you will get there in the end. A report can be found at the Big A League web site. http://sites.netscape.net/bigaleague/ The scoresheet is at http://sites.netscape.net/bigaleague/news.htm The APEX was very good on the night. I managed to get a 729 series. This ball when handled well can achieve good scores. I beleive there is a newer APEX but I will check that out for next season. Thanks goes to Geoff Buck for the drilling and advice.... Read review

Called Polar, sent it back and they sent me another one. Had the exact same problem. Sent it back, got another one. This one was fine as far a the uplink, BUT, about two weeks after I got it the speed quit showing, then the cadence would quit and the speed would start up. Then the heart rate would go crazy then the speed would quit. So on and so on. Sent it back, and got the fourth one yesterday. Went for a ride this morning, got back, tried to upload and nothing. Not a peep out of it. And they have the nerve to tell me they have had... Read review

...in general. They feel very well made and don’t look too bad either. I am well chuffed I did mention bungee cords earlier and I will pass this on, my Dr suggests if my leg gets tired and I am unable to rest; if I attach 2 bungee cords to my belt and link the fasteners under my heel, they will lift my leg back up for me saving on my own body’s resources. We will try that out this weekend and I will fill you in after wards by updating this review. One last thing: Nordic walking ≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈ This is the style of walking with 2 poles and initially was summer training for cross country skiers and gives a time-efficient, low-stress, total body workout.
