Advantages: Easy to strike, good ball control, flexible Disadvantages: Cost
...for a slightly off-centre strike that you ended-up having to be as accurate as a professional to master them.
So the club pro suggested I forget the X-20's (which I didn't like anyway) and replaced my 3 and 4 irons with a hybrid. In the end I tried 3 different hybrid clubs, all of which are equivalent to a standard 4 iron, a Callaway steel shaft, a Cobra standard graphite shaft and the Ping G5 graphite shaft. All these clubs had a loft of 23/24 degrees.
I was instantly impressed as my first few shots with each club sailed well past the 185 yard mark with little effort, but whats important with this type of club is that you can hit them high enough to be able to get them to land on the green and stop quickly, not hit the green and bounce right off. I've found that I can hit the Ping 24 degree loft hybrid as high as a 7 iron. The reason I went...

Advantages: It works - quickly, it is robust and easy to use Disadvantages: None
...The lengthy advertisements for Torso Track on the TV shop channels would have us believe that this wonder machine is the easy, no-sweat way to get chiselled abs. Not that I watch the TV shopping channels, of course - I’m sure you don’t either - it’s just that I come across them sometimes when flicking through looking for something to watch on the odd occasion when I’m not reading G.K.Chesterton.
They sell the Torso Track for over £100, plus extortionate postage & packing, so I had never seriously considered getting one. I was interested in the ads, though, and not just to feast my eyes on one of the handsome hunks who promote it.
I was surprised to see what I thought was a Torso Track on a recent visit to Makro (the wholesale club). It was actually a Torso Trainer, but it looks and acts exactly like...

Advantages: Smooth rod action, Strong, Good finish, Professional Standard Football Table Disadvantages: Tricky to level on an unlevel floor
...I've always enjoyed table football - but only on fast, proper full size football tables. I even won a medal for goalie in a college tournament, so when a major birthday loomed a year last November I decided to try and get my own football table. I tried various web sites and the one that seemed to offer the best combination of specification and value for money was the Garlando G500 from Table Sports Ltd.
So I shelled out £285 plus £40 delivery on a Garlando G500 football table. It is like the one in "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and has excellent smooth action telescopic steel playing rods with nylon bushes and ball bearings and a full set of moulded players in red and blue. The main table is made out of solid 25mm heavy duty MDF with butchers block melamine surface, and box section steel legs. The playing surface is green plastic...

I thought for a change I would try my hand at reviewing a book, so here goes.
Ever since I started researching my family tree I have become interested in reading books set in the past, just so I can get a bit of an insight into how my ancestors may... more
Historical fiction is a favourite guilty pleasure of mine, and I came to this book with no pre-conceptions; in fact, I actually expected, and wanted, to like it. Unfortunately, I was greatly disappointed.
I get that this is historical _fiction_, and... more
