Nordica K 9.1

Advantages: Very long hitting club.Powerful penetrating ball flight.983E
Disadvantages: 983E not as forgiving as 983K

...My handicap is 7 and I play on a seaside course in Devon England, I say this to give you a baseline for comparison reasons. As soon as I saw the 983 Series I knew I had to have one. These are such good looking clubs. Tried 983K and 983 E eventually settled on 983E with 9.5 loft Grafalloy stiff shaft. 983E First time on course I was absolutely stunned by this club. Amazing ball flight and markedly longer than my previous driver a Titleist 975J. Perhaps by an average of 15 yards. The ball flight is a low rainbow shape. The club sets up to the ball very easily but does require a high tee peg. I find that setting the ball up further forward i.e almost off your toe increases length and promotes accuracy. I was sceptical of the Graffalloy shaft as I am not a fan of light shafts. This doubt was eventually proven correct, (I gave it 7... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight , Build quality , Components
Disadvantages: Absolutely none !

...One word describes this bike ... AWESOME ! O.k so this bike isn't going to be in everyones price range as at approx £1,000 it isn't cheap & could be classed as a luxury . But as the saying goes ... "You get what you pay for!" It had been a long , long time since i had ridden a racing bike , I had had the odd mountain bike in y 20's & early 30's , But they didn't really suit my style of riding. I spent a long long time researching what bike I would buy as I didn't have money to burn & I wanted to get it right & not regret my purchase for years to come. After perusing various brands I finally settled on the Specialized , It wasn't the cheapest of the bikes , but then it wasn't the most expensive. I'm not a die hard fanatic , but I had been bitten in the past on shoddy build quality & didn't want the bike to fall apart after... Read review

Advantages: Small, portable, high heat (but controllable), reliable
Disadvantages: Price of fuel

...I purchased a Coleman Peak 1 camping stove about 12 years ago, when I embarked on an expedition to walk the Penine Way. The stove is lightweight, portable, and best of all - reliable. It gives a good heat, boiling 2 pints of water in less than 5 minutes (try doing that with your standard Calor Gaz stove!). Although the power output is high, it is also very controllable. There is a small lever to adjust the flame, and it can be lowered to a simmer if that is all that you need. Safety has also been taken into consideration such that, even though the stove is fuelled with petrol, it can be tilted, turned, and even inverted without flaring up in your face. The fuel made by Coleman is rather expensive (around 9 pounds for a 1 litre tin), although the newer models can now use standard unleaded fuel of the type you put in your car... Read review
