New Balance Elite II

Advantages: easy to use, weight just falls off and body tones
Disadvantages: takes ages to assemble

...Those of you with Sky TV have probably come across Tony Little on the Best Direct shopping channel. Quite simply, the guy is mental. He is short, with long curly hair and he is extremely fit. If you watch him for too long he will drive you insane. He is surrounded by gorgeous models showing you how easy this can be! The adverts also feature "real" people who have gone from fat to thin and unfit to fit! We watched his adverts several times and then decided to go for it and buy a Gazelle. We bought the Gazelle Freestyle Elite as it takes a heavier weightload and also has power pistons with 3 settings for different levels of endurance. Myself and my partner are both around 20 stone and did not wish to take a risk on the smaller model as the Gazelle Freestyle XL only takes up to 18 stone. The frame on that model is not so sturdy...

With club head sizes increasing over the years, it makes sense to increase the shaft diameter producing less torque which means less twisting which means greater accuracy.

Advantages: cheap, modern looking, lightweight
Disadvantages: you have to have one

...Priced from around £39-£50 depending on the required size, this hate is excellent value for money as it meets the European Standard EN1384/2001. I have owned my hat since early 2004 and it is still in excellent condition and looks brand new. Weighing 420g this is a very lightweight hat.

The padding on the inside has compacted as you would expect so incase it becomes too loose you may need to replace but mine is fine. The chin strap is cushioned and easy to adjust and has a clip fastener so it is very easy to get on and off. The hat is available in black or navy and can be found at most good tack shops or online. This is an excellent hat for everyday use or just as a spare. On purchase, it also came... Read review
