Stephen Hawking The Grand Design
Mjr. D replied to TourSpecGolfer's post in a topic in Out of Bounds: Lifestyle, Luxury, Autos, Hobbies, High Tech GearVery cool. Might have to pick this up as well. Don't want to freak myself too much though. Sometimes not knowing is better than knowing.

Trippy Art of Japan!
Mjr. D replied to TourSpecGolfer's post in a topic in Out of Bounds: Lifestyle, Luxury, Autos, Hobbies, High Tech GearVERY COOL! Man, I need to move to Japan. The culture just turns me on. So fascinating. Love it. Europe and Japan. N. America is so bland in comparison (grass is always greener I suppose...).

What is it so special with SUS 303
No idea man. All I know is i've had and tried many putters with many different materials and inserts and faces and not one putter can match the feel of the Bettinardi BB2 DASS copper with sound slot. That thing is far and away, the best feeling putter i've ever rolled a ball with. And it's not even close.

2011 Mustang GT vs BMW M3
Mjr. D replied to TourSpecGolfer's post in a topic in Out of Bounds: Lifestyle, Luxury, Autos, Hobbies, High Tech GearFair enough. Can't go wrong with either. I agree on the E39 comment, too. I just think, now adays (my bro n law and sister have an S4 avant and a A4 and my dad has an R8).... compared to the M3 I have (I know, this sounds ridiculous.... not trying to show off here) I find Audi's to be more solidly put together and their interiors more exciting. Kind of a hungrier company right now, in my opinion.

Sony KDL-60LX900 LCD TV
Mjr. D replied to TourSpecGolfer's post in a topic in Out of Bounds: Lifestyle, Luxury, Autos, Hobbies, High Tech GearOh ya, ISF calibration is huge! I don't know if I like the 240 refresh rate stuff. Movies are supposed to be at 24p, to make it seems like well.... not real life. When I take that away, it feels like home video and you don't seem to be put in another world the same way. I hear ya, but I don't know...

2011 Cayenne Turbo
Mjr. D replied to TourSpecGolfer's post in a topic in Out of Bounds: Lifestyle, Luxury, Autos, Hobbies, High Tech GearRightfully so. Thing is sick! Get an 08 and tune it slightly. These are incredible machines to drive, Chris. Worth living in a small apt to own a car like this if need be!

iphone Thread! How many of you own one or want to?
Mjr. D replied to gocchin's post in a topic in Out of Bounds: Lifestyle, Luxury, Autos, Hobbies, High Tech GearJust got rid of my blackberry 9700 and got an iphone 4. Best designed piece of electronics i've ever used (and that's a lot of electronics). It's brilliantly designed. Need a case though. Biggest surprise is how easy it is to text with the touch screen. Way easier than my blackberry. Predictive text is flawless. U can just mash buttons and it predicts things accurately.

2011 Mustang GT vs BMW M3
Mjr. D replied to TourSpecGolfer's post in a topic in Out of Bounds: Lifestyle, Luxury, Autos, Hobbies, High Tech GearYa I hear ya. Ford is putting out extreme value..... just that's it so plastic-like and not exotic. Love the Cayenne Turbo! Can't understand how people think it's an ugly SUV. My dad has an 07 Cayenne Tubro.... one of the best put together vehicles i've ever had the pleasure of being in. Sick! Get one!! I have an 02 M3..... still love it. Actually like the style and fun factor more than the new ones. With that being said, I think Audi is slightly ahead of BMW these days. You?

Sony KDL-60LX900 LCD TV
Mjr. D replied to TourSpecGolfer's post in a topic in Out of Bounds: Lifestyle, Luxury, Autos, Hobbies, High Tech GearNice! Or if you want pure plasma greatness, you might be able to find a Pioneer Kuro Elite Signature series on ebay for a good price. Discontinued because Pioneer stopped making plasmas, but still, the highest rated TV ever made. I have one and it's incredible! Highly recommended.

2011 Mustang GT vs BMW M3
Mjr. D replied to TourSpecGolfer's post in a topic in Out of Bounds: Lifestyle, Luxury, Autos, Hobbies, High Tech GearThat's just not right. I hate American made cars with plastic interiors and big engines. I'd take 1 M3 over 3 Mustang GTs.

TOP OF THE LINE LOW SPIN SHAFT SHOOTOUT
Thanks for the info, but tell us about your swing. What's your swing speed and swing style like? Also, what is this Shingo shaft? I've never heard of Shingo...

Lowest Torque Grips
What's your opinion on what is the lowest torque golf grip on the market right now? I'm a handsy swinger and I need a low torque grip. Thoughts please. Thanks.

Hey guys my pleasure. Once I figure out which Crazy/Quadra shaft fits my swing, I'll test them as well!

TOP OF THE LINE LOW SPIN SHAFT SHOOTOUT
Hey guys, felt you'd probably be interested in my findings. Yesterday I went to the range with my Driver and about 8 top of the line, low spin shafts. I'm 6'4'' about 225. Agressive swinger 115-130mph swing speed. Conditions No wind 30 degrees C/90F... Medium humidity Equipment Taylormade R9 Superdeep Taylormade R9 Fairway First of all, I'm a fan of the superdeep. It's not the longest head i've ever hit (9015D and J33R are) and it's not the straightest but it's definitely the most fun. The ability to swap out and test shafts, change face angles, lie angles and weight biases makes it a real sicko's dream club. Performance wise it's 9/10 in doing what it's supposed to do.... low spin/mid height. On to the shafts. I hit 15 balls with each shaft. Oban Devotion - S flex but tipped to X flex Appearance - Very nice looking shaft. One of the nicest in the group. Feel - Not great but not bad. Mediocre in my opinion Distance - Very good. Ball flight - Nice medium ball flight Spin - Not bad.. ballooned a little but not too much. Control - Worst of the bunch for sure. It was the only shaft I had trouble hitting consistently straight. Not even sure why. Diamana Whiteboard X- flex Appearance - Nice... nothing too crazy but nice Feel - 3nd best of the group - Smooth and actually seemed to enhance the sound off the face (not sure if that's possible but it sounded like it) Distance - Great - Super punchy shaft. Ball exploded off face Ball Fight - Lowest of the group Spin - Tied for first in terms of lowest spin Control - 2nd best Ozik F7M2 LTD - X flex Appearance - Standard Matrix look - I'm a fan of the 3-D gloss look. Feel - 2nd best - Great feeling, almost liquid feeling shaft Distance - Excellent - smooth and long Ball Flight - Mid Spin - Low but not as low as advertised. Ball did balloon at times. Control - Very good. Right up there. Fujikura Rombax 7Z08 - X flex Appearance - Nice color combo - Not my favorite for some reason but i'm not sure why Feel - Not bad not the best - A little more stiff feeling... not silky smooth Distance - Very good Ball Flight - lowish Spin - Low.. not the lowest but definitely low. Lower than the F7M2 suprisingly Control - Very good. Pretty easy to hit consistently straight Aldila RIP for Taylormade Not sure what the general consensus is on whether this shaft is the same as the non Taylormade version... Appearance - Pure piss Feel - Meh.... 2nd worst Distance - Good but seemed to limit at a certain distance where as other shafts would surprise you. Ball flight - Mid high... good Spin - It was low. Not a lot of ballooning Control - Constantly left for me Graphite Design P9003 Appearance - Not for everyone as it's a little Dr. Seuss - like Feel - The best.... sharp but smooth. Love it. As with the Diamana, it was the only other shaft that seemed to make a difference to the sound of the ball off the driver... weird. Distance - Easily the best of the group. Actually blew every other shaft out of the water and effortlessly Ball Flight - Mid - High Spin - Low - No ballooning at all - just effortless soaring bombs Control - Again, easily the best of the group. It wasn't close, either. This shaft is actually hard to hit crooked. So there you have it with the Driver shafts. The Graphite Design P9003 was easily my favorite shaft with the Diamana coming in second, F7M2 LTD in 3rd, Rombax 4th, RIP 5th and surprisingly the Devotion coming in last. I wish I would have kept all the other shafts i've tried over the years..... the Project X 7A4, the Accra SE80M5, Speeders, V2s, Blueboard, Chris' own Toursepcgolf 5 weave carbon proto shaft, Roddio, House of Forged, Mach line pro, Drev tour, Harrison etc. I can remember what they did, but it's not a fair comparison. R9 13* Fairway Motore F1 for Taylormade Appearance - puke, s**t Feel - A little frail but it's a light shaft. It's actually on the whole, pretty good feeling though. Distance - Very good actually. Ball flight - Low.... very low. Spin - Great. No ballooning .. just piercing low spin Control - Good but not great. Ozik XCON 8M2 Appearance - Nice... same as F7M2 LTD Feel - Smooth, silky as are all ozik shafts Distance - Good, not incredible Ball Flight - Medium Spin - Fairly low.... not as low as advertised.... not as low as the Motore F1, actually. Control - Outstanding. And the only reason I game it over the Motore F1 to be honest. Hope you enjoyed. Any questions, please ask. P.S. I'm getting a couple of crazy shafts soon, jus t need to decide on which suites me best, first. I'll give you my findings when I get them

Golf Grips
How would you compare them to the Iomic line of grips? I'm curious because i have the Nowon 50's on the Epon 302s and they're ok, but I need to re-grip my Miura mb5003's and was thinking of going with Iomics.

Golf Grips
I have the Nowon 50. Cool looking, very soft and pretty spongy. Not my favorite grip but i'm a big handsy lummox so if you're more of a soft, light pressure kind of golfer, they might be perfect for you.
