Advantages: MacGregor's chameleon-like arrangements render every piece interesting, appealing. Disadvantages: She remains in obscurity in the US.
demanded royalties for use of Cage's four-and-a-half minutes of *silence*, a situation I found extremely hilarious for its absurdity about the ownership of silence. (For the story, see end of article for link.)
I myself have been hardly curious about contemporary music--until recently, that is, thanks to the tireless efforts of progressive, innovative, classically-trained (Oxford) British pianist Joanna MacGregor (b. 1959). The doors to new music have been flung wide for this listener. As have those to jazz, fusion, ethnic and world music?the kinds that don't necessarily make it to your Putumaya world music discs--and take up negligible space in the classical music racks.
Released on SoundCircus in 2001, PLAY represents the wide-ranging musical interests of the pianist, and what a fascinating and broad selection are they! From ...
Advantages: Large "Sweet Zone", Accurate and Long. Disadvantages: Superceded by the LD and Speed models.
I have owned both the 3-wood and 5-wood in the Cobra SZ "Hyper Steel" FairwayWoods series for approximately 8/9 months and I have to say that I am very impressed with their performance. Previously I had not being a confident player with the fairwaywoods and had struggled for both confidence and consistancy.

Advantages: Low price, powerful and nice design Disadvantages: Not suitable for high handicaps due to small head size
The Mizuno MP-001 series of fairwaywoods are available in a wide range of lofts, with a variety of shaft flexes. Due to being released a few years ago, they are now extremely good value and can be picked up for around £50/£70 (steel/graphite) new and prices are coming down all the time. They are very good looking with a sleek design and look good over the ball. With a simple arrow alignment aid and a compact head these are better suited for the better-player who can guarentee a good strike. Even so, they are very forgiving compared to other low-handicapper woods and hit the ball a long way. In my opinion they are just as good as any other club out and are un-matched for value. For any decent golfer these are a good adition to the golf bag, and the 7-wood in particular is a lovely golf club. If you like to shape the ball it is also easy ...
