Division 23 Cypress

Advantages: Great for impovment, good forgiving face.
Disadvantages: Hevier than graphite shafted clubs.

...Mizuno MX-23 irons. Steel shafted (like all the pros use now) and a great impovement club. I got a set of these for christmas, I had a handicap of 28. Now after using these clubs for less than half a year my handicap has dramaticly changed by 10 i now play off 18. At first they took a big of getting used to compared to my old irons but soon the face hardened up and they went super! In winter weather they hold there own against cold and wet. As well as hitting great shots. Good for improoving players because they are quite forgiving and have a large sweet spot on the face. The first thing i noticed when I bought them was the grips. Very nice grips that make it easy to line up the ball to the club face. Another great thing obout these clubs is that they were a real bargin. I got mine from my pro shop brand new, im glad i did....

Disadvantages: It's not true 4-season, small cooking area, lack of headroom

...I bought a Tadpole 23 three years ago and use it for wild-country back-packing, rock-climbing and winter mountaineering. It is an ultra-lightweight tent that weighs less than 2kg, designed for two people, in three-season conditions (However, I have used it for winter mountaineering in the UK, which it is fine for if you have a good sleeping bag and air mattress). It does all the standard tent stuff - like keeping the wind and rain off you and your kit whilst allowing you to cook and sleep, but is much more sophisicated than a standard tent. When you first see it up, it looks a bit flimsy, but it is actually very resistant to the wind and The North Face have made every effort to reduce its weight as much as possible without compromising on the strength. It is easy to put up on your own (even in the dark when you're tired) due... Read review

Advantages: grippy, hardwearing, puncture resistant
Disadvantages: not so grippy on smooth roads

...I rode trials for almost two year on a single pair of Tioga 2.3 DH tyres and found them to be excellent in almost all conditions. I also rode dirt jumps and the occasional skate park over this period and the only trouble I had with these tyres was that when riding on the road, especially when wet, the wheels had a tendency to spin if the back wheel was unweighted at all. Also due to the huge amount of grip the tyres give they also generate a fair bit of resistance on smooth surfaces, this is not really a criticism as it is the sign of a tyre that will grip well when needed but it does sounds a bit like a swarm of bees chasing you at times. Over the time I rode this tyres I had very few punctures and absolutely no problem with gripping in off road conditions, especially when cornering. As these tyres are very large they also provide...
