Advantages: Lightweight and flexible Disadvantages: None
...As I feel the cold quite often when I'm diving I decided to invest in a cyberskin as I had read good reports about it in various dive magazines. I wasn't keen on buying a semi-dry to take abroad with me as I feel they can be cumbersome. I usually wear a 5mm Gul Steamer but felt I needed some extra insulation.
The cyberskin is 0.5mm thick and extremely light. The material is silky and flexible and feels extremely comfortable. It comes in women's and men's sizes from small through to XXL and is £65. Although it is only 0.5mm thick it is equal in warmth to a 2mm wetsuit and can be used alone for diving in warmer waters. I bought an all in one with a back zipper but it is possible to purchase it as a separate top and bottoms. I had thought that it might be difficult to get my 5mm wetsuit over the top of it but in actual fact it made...

...Sliver on the Inside!!
I bought a Silverskin a couple of years ago and never looked back since. I managed to negoctiate a price of £200 from a local dive shop.
The cuffs are great because you can fold them and fold them to get a good seal. Ankle cuffs are great for the same reason as is the neck.
The suit also drains very well from tthese cuffs, especially the Neck Cuff
There is a good horizontal zip on the back which makes it easy for self dis-robing or your "buddy" to help you out. I would recommend attaching a small pull cord to ease this process.
The Zip is very sturdy so if you do have a problem undoing it, pull it back to the beginning and start again.
Padded shoulders, elbows and knees are an added bonus as damage to previous wet-suits has been quite costly.
My suit is maunfactured from 90% Neoprene and 10% Nylon...

Advantages: Great Balance and Feel Disadvantages: None
...I've had by Ping Anser 2 for may years now, probably 10 or even more, and have only just thought to write a review. The ping anser is a classic and now almost legendary putter. It a simple heal toe weighted putter with a slightly offset shaft (thanks to the small right angled 'S' shaped hostel. For alignment there is a single white line (about 5mm thick).
As the above hopefully shows the design is simple, yet it is much imitated (the Scotty Cameron 'Newport' is a copy of the anser). It has great balance and gives a very good true roll off the face.
Another area where the Ping anser comes into its own is in terms of its custom options - there are a great variety of shaft lenghts from 32'' up to 37'' and also lies - from 4 degrees flat to 5 degress upright giving 10 variations, even the loft can be customied, as standard the face has 3...

When I bought my Canon EOS 20D, I was thinking about getting a cheaper Sigma or Tamron objective to go with it. But since the optical performance of those 3rd party can't keep up with the Canon ones most of the time, because of the reverse-engineered... more
