Big break Sandals Resort - week 7

Big break Sandals Resort week 7 is entitled, "Know Your Enemies." If you missed any of the previous episodes, please check out the big break Sandals Resort episodes to recap.

Of the five remaining candidates a silent breakfast enjoy the episode being at a quiet breakfast. The immunity challenge this week is a three shot challenge, where player moves shots from three different places.The first player to the three points wins the challenge and is safe and to the next show. addition the winner will receive a card store / send and spend the rest of the afternoon at Sandals Resorts Red Lane Spa.

The first situation was a shot from the fairway around 90 meters from the flag. Seema began the event and their first shot way short hits. Taryn was second and also ended up shot.Carling was third and overshot target, but the ball in the Kreis.Lili went fourth and landed it in the circle complete Backspin with some crazy. Sara was last and missed.

The second site was an adjusted uphill shot. Taryn went first and missed.Carling was the second and third went erzielt.Lili and scored with the ball about two inches from rolling out of the circle. Sara went fourth and the ball in the circle rolled and then back out. Seema was last, go and scored!

The last pin situation was a greenside bunker erschossen.Going in this shot, are bound with two points with Carling first Carling and Lili. You hit a very nice shot and landed about three feet from the flag. Make the shot, has eliminated Taryn, Seema and Sara and has some serious pressure on Lili.Unfortunately, Lili's shot sailed over the Green and ended up winning Carling in the rough, giving.

Save/Send card in your hand, Carling marching up and down the area, rotate the map deliberating on, whether or not to a strong player in the elimination challenge to send or save a weaker players knew that you beat down the road ended konnten.Sie save Taryn I think was a bad decision. I think you Lili or Sara should be sent to the disposal challenge.Now, instead of a better shot to eliminate one have to use your top rivals, to play the weakest players (Seema) against two strong players such as Lili and Sara, links, which I think is your food lebendig.Das end result is that you two tough contenders still left, carry a slight grudge.

So, while Carling and Taryn spend the afternoon at the Spa, you require the remaining candidates of big break Sandals Resort head the second immunity.

The second challenge of immunity is a round robin matchup, where each player will draw a golf ball from a bag. Each ball is 1, 2 or 3 numbered. The order of the matchups are choices...

1 Vs 2
2 Vs 3
3 Vs 1

Get engages the player in the first position to choose where you order from hole out. Two points is the player who wins the game, and when you bind each player receives a point. At the end of the games, the player with the highest score of disposal is safe.Seema moved # 1, Sara # 2 and # 3 Lili.

The first matchup between Sara and Seema is 110 meters out of the hole with a pretty intimidating bunker in between. Both players, the first shot from the edge with a 30 footer links. Both missed about three inches from the hole and Sara's second shot Seema's about four feet.Both shots third out of your and bound.

The next matchup is between Sara and Lili.Sara chose a freaking bunker shots of 179 yards.Both players overshot green, Sara, landing in the same place as before and Lili left a wedge second shot.Lili landed their second shot about five feet past the hole.Sara had their second shot inches away.The pressure is on tap in three for Sara for Lili.Sie sank putt, extent of compliance with Sara.

Finale is between Lili and Seema and Lili also chooses to play from the bunker at 160 meters. Both players had a bad first shot, Seema left off short, leave the bunker a second shot over during Lili green, again, overshot return a wedge.Seema met a large wedge shot and it landed about five feet from the flag.Four feet below the PIN finished Lili's second shot.Seema's putt lippy out and Lili nailed him win the challenge and send Sara and Seema elimination.

Big break Sandals Resort week seven that elimination challenge is a two-hole strokeplay on the par 4 eighth and the par 5 Neunte.Seema things started with a nice discount, landing in the Fairway.Sara upped your landing there in the middle of the fairway past 20 Meter.Seema's second shot landed just on the edge and shot landed Sara's short on the Green, but with enough Backspin, right back green land it on with the same shot as Seema Rollen.CrazySeema it within a foot and Sara lined putted it too hard, but just beat the flag and there were approximately two feet from the Loch.Beide stopping the next scoring par putt.

Level 5 ninth both beautiful drives cranked, middle of the fairway with Seema Sara outdriving.Sara's Center of the fairway ended up second shot, 85 metres from the flag while Seema's 77 metres rough where, besides a bunker, gave her a very tough third shot endete.Sara's third shot landed on the green one had shot twenty feet behind the Loch.Seema difficult, with her heels in the bunker and your toes on a rocky outcrop, their attitude was very unstable therefore unsurprising, your shot rolled back in the green of the Rande.Ihre fourth shot an inch from the hole ended approximately six feet of the Flagge.Sara's fourth shot over par, gave a cock in her missed put enormous pressure on Seema.Sie putt and home.

PRGR EGG spoon comparison comparison

I spent some time with the new PRGR egg spoon PX 03D. While it created by the legendary first generation has not yet reached the high expectations, it certainly holds and is slowly growing on me. As with any new Club, it's a time of adjusting required, and while the new model in it for me for the first time light, I am beginning to like what I see and feel (and hear).

I already recorded video from both spoon's, which I later in a sound comparison video but for now, we consider both spoon's side by side and compare their design Features.Wenn I these photos please note took my 1st generation being spoon in the shop with a crazy reshafted wave so I used my wife 17 * demo spoon (playing you Yes, even!), which is the same size and loft and the only difference a slightly reddish brown Crown against black.

  At first glance the new egg spoon looks very simple.  For many people is a good thing. In contrast to the mirrored sole of the previous model and most fairway is wood from brushed satin of the sole of the PX 03D.  It is minimal text on the ground and no color next to black. The sole is a different theme with a V-shaped sole and channeled "U" toward the back of the sole.  The old spoon feature a multi leveled sole. Both designs serve the same purpose, they are there to reduce friction with the ground before and after the impact of the ball.The new egg's V sole, which is most clearly towards the rear half of the sole really helps uneven lies that either flat or upright, get still way using the new spoon. the "U" channel, is to reduce friction trailing edge, while the leading edge is more than the original spoon rounded. The new exclusively works good and coupled with the shallower face really helps you to hit the sweet spot in almost any lie. 

  Yes, that's face to flatter and as you can see from the above image that is more rounded front edge and particularly noticeable in direction of the toes and heel part of the head.If you on a hillside with the ball well above or below your feet position stuck the V sole and rounded front edges help reduce friction and possible, the trenches of the heel or toe.Ein another difference, the I, after the first day the length was noticed the Hosel. The new egg spoon offers a much shorter Hosel. This leads accession the shaft to a lower tip insert for the shaft, so closer upside, stability and increase MOI.

  Both's egg one have the new model, as it very streamlined look from print preview, out completely in on the back, scooped up is.  The type of the cavity of an iron can affect the sound of iron and really applies to all Club. The previous egg spoon's thundering "POCK" effect is attributed to the hump in the back and the Titan face and Crown construction swinging the sound further.The new egg has a sound more like the crack whip Auswirkungen.Diejenigen, the old M3 hit FW's hit hear a familiar sound.Because the new spoon scooped is out in the cavity is the sound as intimidating as its predecessor as it comes primarily from the maraging face.As mentioned already, earlier, interestingly also with lower CG I found the new spoon flight much sharper.In the end I can reshaft both with the same wave safely to see if his head or wave.

Above both spoon's square face angles and are more pleasant for me personally to consider also the odd egg orientation Marke.Je more search I looked at the new model spoon, I realized that the rear shovel can even alignment tool visually put the ball in the Pocket Sie.Beide definitely offer heads confidence to address and so, since both easily schlagen.Leistung wisely I can say not, the new model has it's lawful senior beaten, but this judgment could in time kommen.Ich will play more with the Club this week, including 18 holes twice with him before posting to the new video with more feedback.

Caddie Opens Mouth, Inserts Foot

Steve Williams is a rich man. He got that way by carrying the bag for the world�s greatest golfer, ever. As a result, he�s also probably the world�s richest caddie. So what does Tiger�s bag man do, he opens his mouth and inserts his foot. He disses probably the world�s second most popular golfer and calls him an ?$*&.

Why is that necessary? I�m sure that Phil can be an ?$*& at times. I�m sure Tiger can be that way too. Does it make Mr. Williams feel better and will it get him more endorsements? People call November and December the silly season. Perhaps because Tiger has been idle for so long, its made Mr. Williams a bit cranky.

Such things as moment of inertia (MOI) and focus (CG), Crown structure and face thickness are carefully evaluated and studied in a virtual environment before a blueprint is always Bewegung.sobald be taken the strategic factors to the nth degree and you engineer expectations, the G10 in is offset in motion - a driver builds that maximized power transmission and increased ball speed like no anderer.Und did we mention, this is done using a Cray Supercomputer?

There Is a Lack of Trust with Golflink's Golf Course Ratings

I�ve always felt that there is a huge bias in the golf course rating world. Admittedly great courses like Bethpage, Pebble Beach, Doral and Torrey Pines all deserve their lofty scores. But, how these scores are derived is what I find very suspect.

As far as I know, other than Top 50 or Top 100 lists, there are only two national guides that attempt to rate golf courses across the United States: Golf Digest & Zagat�s.

Just recently I ran across an article from the Orlando Sentinel that explores the ratings found at the website Golflink.com and its Top 100 List. The reporter mentions that Stoneybrook West, a $32/round course in Central Florida is ranked #27, higher than Sawgrass (#42) and Pebble Beach (#81). Even in Minnesota where I�m located, the only course rated in the Top 100 is Somerset Country Club (#64), and the two courses that are considered the best in the Twin Cities, Hazeltine (site of the 2009 PGA Championship) and TPC Blaine (site of the Senior Tour 3M Championship) don�t even show up. How can that be?

According to GolfLink�s own website: �the GolfLink Top 100 United States Golf Courses lists the best golf courses out of more than 20,000 public and private golf courses across the country (Note: according to the National Golf Foundation, there are approximately 16,000 courses in the USA). Where most golf magazines rate golf courses based solely on the subjective views and limited experience of a handful of editors, our list is calculated from a more objective range of factors, including the preferences of up to a million or more visitors to our web site every month. This makes our Top 100 United States Golf Courses list the definitive online guide to the best U.S. golf courses, and a great resource for figuring out where to play.�

Yeah, right!

The �scoring� is based on a 1-5 Star rating system in five categories: Amenities, Difficulty, Maintenance, Scenery and Value. Like Golf Digest and Zagat�s, to obtain a rating, all you need to do to become a rater is sign-up online. My big problem with this approach is that scores obtained this way can�t be trusted.

There is no qualifications, no training, no guidelines, just opinions. A course rater might be the club pro, the general manager, the cart girl and the clubhouse attendant all signing up to rate the course, all giving it 5 stars. Also, the scoring isn�t based on a tested set of factors like the USGA�s par and slope rating, just opinions from a bunch of anonymous golfers.

I think that the Orlando Sentinel reporter said it better than I would: �You�ve got to love that through the power of user-driven golf sites, golfers can generate a voice in an otherwise smug world of golf course design. No offense to Stoneybrook West, but it probably wouldn�t sniff the top 100 on a Golf Digest ranking.�

So much for accurate golf course rating.

Open Letter to WorldGolf.com. Re: Michelle Wie

Please refer to exhibit A: If Michelle Wie Makes The Cut, I�ll Do a Jean Van de Velte and Wear a Skirt

�Is is with great sadness and regret that I will be unable to wear the aforementioned skirt, complete with green and blue flowers, because women�s golf�s answer to Tiger Woods couldn�t get out of her own way.� Signed, Bruce

Teasing the golf world with a one over par first round of 73, Michelle Wie followed it up on day two with a quintuple-bogey 9 on the eight hole to push her score to 9-over 153 at the par 72 Montreux Golf & Country Club. This left her tied for 118th and 23 shots out of first. At least she can say she beat David Duval (that�s another story for another time).

According to the budding PGA Tour star:

�I feel my game is a lot better. Obviously the score doesn�t show it, but I know what I need to work on,� Wie said. �I gave it my best today and I felt like I did a lot of good things and hopefully that outshines the ones I made mistakes on.�

It is so charming the pure idealism that is on display.

Not to be stopped on her quest, she leaves the door open to more stupid choices in the future:

�I think if I played a couple (PGA events) in a row, it would be a different story. It�s just hard to play one and then one maybe a year later,� she said. �I think if I played eight in a row and I missed all eight, that would be a different story.�

I�m so looking forward to the 9th, and 10th and 11th attempts.

How will she entertain us then?

Where Have All the Golf Equipment Websites Gone?

I was recently looking at my old web bookmarks from a few years ago and noticed that when I clicked on the links to websites like Warrior Golf, Ranger Golf and golfclubs.net, they no longer worked. Many of these sites used to be selling non-branded golf components and clones. In past years, the web was ripe with hundreds of websites selling custom-built golf clubs.

Regardless of your preference for brand-name equipment or golf components, in the food chain of golf equipment retail sales, you�ve got the big dogs like Golfsmith, Golf Galaxy and The Golf Warehouse at the top. You�ve got the Nevada Bob�s, Austad�s, Golf USA and other smaller golf chains in the middle. Under them you�ve golf component sellers like Pine Meadow, Hireko, Diamond Tour and others selling their own equipment. At the bottom are the lampreys of golf; the sellers that have their orders drop-shipped from the aforementioned retailers and don�t manufacture anything.

My point here is that as the big brand names struggle for sales, the websites at the bottom of the food chain are disappearing in droves. What it tells me is that there is not enough business to go around for anyone. No one is making money and a clear sign of a health market, lots of competitors, is disappearing.

The economic realities are obvious in today�s market, but like a health food chain in nature, a healthy golf market can�t function without a lot of smaller retailers, websites and manufacturers. Each retailer caters to a different customer and if the smaller retailers can�t survive because no one is buying, that shrinks the market for everyone and its effects reverberate up the chain.

With the troubles at MacGregor Golf and the recent layoffs announced at Callaway and Taylor Made, it is only a matter of time when one of the big brands will decide to throw in the towel. Based on today�s economic realities, we�re in a state of denial if we think that all the major brands will still be in business come 2010.

If Michelle Wie Makes The Cut, I'll Do a Jean Van de Velte and Wear a Skirt

Okay, I�m taking bets. My bet is that Michelle Wie, probably the most poorly managed professional female golfer in recent memory, will miss the cut in next week�s men�s PGA Tour event.

I don�t know who makes decisions for her, but in addition to being disqualified for a second time in a professional event (hasn�t she played this game on a national stage since aged 14), she decides to add insult to injury and accept a sponsor�s exemption to play in an eighth PGA Tour men�s event. I think at this week�s Legends Reno-Tahoe Open, she�ll fail like she�s failed many times before even though this will be one of the weakest fields on this year�s PGA Tour.

Why does she do this? Well, it appears since she has no official status on any professional tour, she needs to get sponsor exemptions on the LPGA Tour just to be able to play. She has one more opportunity to use an exemption to finish in the Top 80 on the money list. If she doesn�t she�ll have to go to qualifying school. Right now she ranks, I think, 244th on the LPGA Tour (if she were a member).

I�m so confident of my prediction that I�m willing to embarrass myself in front of the golfing world. If you think that I�m crazy, put your money where your mouth is and tell me I�m wrong. I�d be happy to see this play out. If I bet wrong, I will play my next round of golf wearing a skirt (a nice blue and green one). I will also make sure that my attire is photographed and publicized on this website.

All you Wie Warriors out there, are you ready to defend you idol�s honor? As G.W. Bush said ingloriously in 2003 �bring it on�.

C. Diablo edge Tour win with Phil driver

I wrote driver support a few months back about the win with Phil free Callaway. This was to promote, where, when Phil Mickelson won the 2010 masters and one the 2010 Callaway driver bought either (Callaway Diablo edge, Callaway FT tour or Callaway FT most), or if you walked into Golfsmith and a free entry form filled out, you would get this driver free of charge.

Now as you know, landed that Phil won the 2010 master and everyone's favorite golf blogger just its sweet new drivers.

In hindsight I should probably for the regular drivers not 9, haben.Meine decided 5 tour slice is bad enough, without opening the blade I digress an another GradAber.

By the company

Designed to the golfer a distance advantage give each time if you it to tea.

Diablo edge and Diablo edge - tour - drivers offer superior face technology, a higher MOI, a deeper CG and better aerodynamics - and everything adds to add to the longest, most accurate all titanium drivers Callaway Golf has ever made.

4-piece fused titanium

The use of fused titanium modular 4 pieces produced the most weight efficient all titanium drivers that we previously created haben.Jedes part is precision formed and exactly fused together so positioned weight be ball flight, optimally, delivery distance-enhancing, penetrating.

Chemically milled parts hyperbolic face Cup

A process of chemical reduction from unwanted material selectively face Cup thick precision control, which our severest ball speeds ever.

Aerodynamic body design

We consider the deflection for higher impact speeds reduced, by using an aerodynamic body design, refined and optimized all edge transitions.This reduces drag up to 8% when compared to other 460cc drivers heads.

Standard shape vs. tour shape

Callaway Golf Diablo edge and Diablo edge - tour - driver feature two unique shapes, but all the same technology.Both drivers offer a 4-piece design for fused titanium, a chemically milled parts hyperbolic face Cup and an aerodynamic body shape for the longest all titanium driver we have developed.

The standard models have a central Callaway technology (S2H2) removed the Hosel weight and it moves in the perimeter network of the Golf Club for more Stabilit�t.Die tour models have a Hosel, less face progression and optimized focus of highly skilled golfers demand the look, feel and performance.

GP habanero shaft

High GP habanero shaft is the ideal complement to the Diablo edge drivers for incredible feeling and performance.

I chose the 9.5 degrees-Callaway Golf Diablo edge tour drivers with the GP habanero regular flex shaft, the a low kick point Middle torque and weighs 60 Gramm.Der Club has a total weight of 319 grams.

My current gamer is the Cleveland Launcher DST driver, it is much easier, with a total weight of 292 Gramm.Es is an awesome Club and lower weight makes it easier to get the blade closed on impact.

First impressions of the Callaway Golf Diablo tour edge - drivers are fair.Wie I predicted, it is more difficult until the blade forever gehen.Der ball flight is pretty low impact space over the last two rounds, I was hit some shots of slice Rrific, habenAber when you hit it clean, will it and it rolls for a Meile.Ich one met recorded 303 metres with this driver, my longest drive ever

Stay tuned for a complete Golf Club review.

Callaway FT-i drivers expands on the company's exclusive fusion technology to produce a driver that is designed, straightest around the world. Love it or hate it, this driver has a squared shaped head like the Nike Sumo2 and nickent's thumb square. But the square head isn't over is looks - it serves a specific function.

The square 460 cc clubhead allows the weight outside the usual zone to are compared to other riders.It uses the carbon body technology, meaning, it is easier than a traditional Titan driver.the saved weight and square shape Callaway, the weight of the driver to the extreme corners of the head, increasing of the Association beaten resistance to twisting when the off-center and increase the moment of inertia (MOI) therefore extreme forgiveness on recordings provide quite the blade has enabled to press.

John Daly Is Really Washed Up

Why is it no surprise that John Daly got suspended from the PGA Tour for six months? Because he is a walking golfing disaster and he�s being allowed to milk everything he can from a sport that hasn�t seen him in the winner�s circle since 2006.

He is definitely colorful, but it is sad to see someone self-destruct in front of your eyes. For the last two years, daily hasn�t even sniffed the Top Ten, yet he still get as much coverage as Tiger does during the first two rounds Its only two rounds because Tiger will make the cut and Daly won�t.

Daly�s take on the suspension was �it�s not fair in reality, but it�s probably fair in perception.� Huh? I guess he means that in reality he�s not being treated fairly, but it looks like he deserves it.

When PGA spokesman Ty Votaw was asked about the suspension, he didn�t even feel it was worth commenting. Daly is like a child without any boundaries. He drinks too much, gambles away his winnings, smashes spectator�s cameras and ends up in the drunk tank.

Daly went on to say �Tim and his staff have to do what they do.� You mean protect the integrity of the PGA Tour? �Truly and honestly, I wish Tim would get to know the facts better before he makes a decision. I would like to sit down and have a nice talk with him, tell him what really happened.�

Doesn�t this sound like someone that can�t admit they were wrong? That the world is against them? As a likely alcoholic that fell off the wagon once again, he needs to hit bottom before he�ll ever be successful again. Unlike a David Duval who just lost his touch and could never get it back, Daly has the touch, but his decision-making is getting in his way. As Alcoholics Anonymous says �the first step on the road to recovery is to admit you have a problem.�

Taylor Made's New Golf Ball Promo Is Just Empty Marketing Hype

I�d like to bring to your attention the lame attempt by Taylor Made to try to sell us more of their new TP golf balls. According to their recent press release, �My TP Ball allows golfers to connect with their number and make their golf ball an extension of themselves.� Oh boy! Even more, �the program allows golfers to design their own golf balls in a new and individualized way.� Golly gee!

According to Taylor Made a golfer can print out a special form, take it to their local retailer, order at least three dozen golf balls, wait 2-3 weeks, and presto, new golf balls will be delivered to their door with a preprinted number on it (mine would be 11). Wow!

So, after I downloaded their special form, I checked out the price. Ouch. These balls cost $39.99 a dozen. If I bought three boxes I�m looking at $119.97. Then if you add local sales tax (7% in Minneapolis) that�s another $8.40. I�m guessing they add shipping so let�s say it�s an additional $5.00. Total cost: $133.37. I�m going to pay that much just to put my special number on my golf ball?

Basically, I�m paying $3.70 PER GOLF BALL so I can have my special number on it and I have to wait three weeks to get it. I don�t think so.

Let�s take this a step further, how long do you really keep a golf ball? Two rounds? One? Five holes? At the rate I lose golf balls these wouldn�t last a week.

I think it would be much easier to just take a Sharpie (cost $0.99) and write my special number on a bunch of golf balls (75 used balls for $29.99), then add local tax ($2.10). Total cost: $32.09

Now I�m only paying $.0.43 PER GOLF BALL so if I lose it, I don�t care. I can also play 3.5 MORE rounds of golf with the money I just saved.

I�m all for innovation and trying to push the envelope, but I see Taylor Made�s substance-less marketing hype staring me in the face.

How is having my pre-printed �special� number on my golf ball supposed to help me?

PING G15 driver review

Translate Request has too much data
Parameter name: request
Translate Request has too much data
Parameter name: request

Ping prides itself as the most forgiving club in golf. Has the Ping G15 continued that tradition?

 PING G15 Driver PING G15 Driver

Among the giants of the golf industry, PING has always remained one of the quietest in the business. You never see commercials on TV. They only have a select number of pros which they endorse. They rarely even release new clubs. It seems like the word �hype� just isn�t a part of PING�s vocabulary.

But something felt different when PING announced it would release two entirely new lines of clubs. PING actually seemed excited. In fact, PING was going out of their way to tell anyone and everyone that would listen that its new clubs had monumental improvements. Even if you didn�t like PINGs in the past, you start to wonder, what did they come up with?

After putting the driver through a full battery of tests it has certainly made an impression on me.

Design and Technology
Like its predecessor, the G15 is a 460cc titanium driver meant for golfers seeking maximum forgiveness. This is where the similarities end, however.
The G15 is probably the most forgiving driver � on all types of mis-hit � that PING has ever created.

The G15 has numerous technological improvements over the G10. The G15 attains a higher MOI by lengthening the head from front to back. Additionally, a 7% larger face increases ball speed and provides consistency across the entire hitting surface. Lastly, weight savings from the ultra thin crown are positioned as an external sole weight to optimize the center of gravity for higher trajectories and reduced spin.
Weight saved by using an ultra-thin crown aids the forgiveness with unique sole weighting.

The improvements don�t end at the clubhead though. The new PING TFC 149D shaft allows for a five gram increase in head mass without increasing swingweight or overall weight. All of these seemingly small changes should result in higher ball speeds and an increase in MOI.

Esthetics
I would count myself among one of the many golfers who have loved the way that PINGs feel but were less than inspired by their looks (remember the PING TiSi, anyone?). With the G15, and for the first time, PING�s esthetics may have matched their technology.

Although PING did not change the crown finish for the G15, there are two noticeable differences between the PING G15 and G10 at address. First, PING abandoned the half moon alignment aid of the G10 in favor of a sleek yet subtle red arrow which first appeared on the PING Rapture. Second, lengthening the club from front to back to increase MOI makes the driver look more triangular in shape than the G10. Overall, I found the simplicity of the new look crown to be improvements over the G10.

The sole of the G15 is what I would consider among PING�s greatest improvements. The chrome treatment on the sole isn�t new but the technical changes gave PING the ability to make significant esthetic changes. Rather than rubbing your face in the fact that there is a ton of new technology, PING�s red, black and chrome paint treatment highlights the technology while remaining understated.

Esthetically, the hitting area remained nearly identical to the G10 with white groves and a v-shaped grooveless sweet spot. The only difference, for which you would have to be looking to notice, is a sightly larger face.

With a black crown, a silver, black and red sole, PING chose to continue the color scheme to their shafts. While there is a slight difference in color between the two stock shafts both shafts are shades of red and grey.

Although the word classic never came to mind when I was looking at the PING, the engineers� new appreciation of subtlety has made the PING a much cleaner and simpler looking club. Personally, I find this to be a dramatic improvement.

Performance
Describing their design process, PING says:

Utilizing finite element analysis and the latest in design software, PING engineers develop metal woods in a virtual world to ensure the highest level of performance before the clubs even reach the first tee. Factors such as moment of inertia (MOI), center of gravity (CG) location, crown structure and face thickness are carefully studied with the goal of designing longer, straighter and more consistent metal woods. Even the club�s acoustics are analyzed to ensure a powerful sound and feel.

Clearly, to say that PING engineers take the performance of their clubs seriously would be an understatement.

If you have been playing a Titleist or one of the other �softer� sounding drivers on the market the first thing you will notice is the PING�s sound. I am in the middle of a back rehabilitation program so my swing speed has been hovering at or slightly above 100 mph. Even at that speed though solid contact sounded and felt like an explosion. This was not obnoxious but it certainly made me believe I hit the ball a lot farther than I did.
The G15�s lower, deeper CoG is obvious in this shot. The G10 is much more rounded from this view.

The distance you achieve with the G15 is going to have a lot to do with whether you are fitted or not. As stated above, the new external weight pad is meant to produce optimal trajectory and spin. At 100 mph, I want my launch angle to be between 15 and 16 degrees and my spin rate to be between 3000 and 3300 RPMs. I achieve those numbers with my 10.5 degree Titleist 909D2 so I assumed that a 10.5 degree G15 would be appropriate. I was wrong. Within a few shots I could tell that I was hitting the ball much higher than normal. That higher trajectory resulted in me hitting between half iron to full iron more into nearly every hole.

Once I put the PING on a launch monitor I could easily see why I had lost distance. Even though my spin rate was staying around 3500 RPMs, my launch angle was between 18 and 19 degrees. A few degrees may not seem like much but it certainly was enough to lose 5 or 10 yards. I would recommend not repeating my mistake. You should not assume that the loft in one brand will be equal to a PING�s playing characteristics. PING prides itself on fitting a player with the club that is exactly right for them; a PING fitter should be able to tell you exactly which loft is right for your swing. Ignore the loft on the bottom of the driver and just focus on your launch angle if you really want to squeeze as much distance out of the G15 as possible.

Aside from the slight distance loss caused by trajectory, I was pleasantly surprised by the clubs extremely consistent draw. If I tried to hit a draw, the ball would draw about 10 yards. If I tried to hit the ball straight, the ball would draw between 5 to 10 yards. If I tried to hit a fade, the ball would fly nearly straight. Only when I tried to hit a hard cut could I get the ball to fade.

Even though I was aggravated that I could not hit my normal power fade on the range, the predictability of the G15�s draw was quite an addictive weapon on the course. I could almost guarantee that if I could aimed down the right side of the fairway the ball would end up dead in the center. When playing partners tried the club, they didn�t find that the club drew as much but they definitely noticed an increase in the straightness of their drives.

If you are considering buying a PING driver � particularly the G15 model � you are likely more interested in how the club performs for off-center shots. PING claims to be the most forgiving driver on the market and, to be extremely thorough, I grabbed a roll of impact stickers and a few hundred golf balls and parked myself at a launch monitor for an entire day. My findings were as follows:

On all shots within a dime of the sweet spot, the ball lost less than 10 yards of distance and exhibited minimal curve.On the majority of shots hit off the toe of the driver, the ball also lost less than 10 yards of distance and had a hard yet controllable draw.On all shots hit high or low on the clubface, there was a slight trajectory change which resulted in minimal distance loss.On the majority of shots hit off the heel of the driver, the ball lost between 25 to 30 yards of distance.

After an exhausting day of testing, I was impressed that the driver performed extremely well for any shot hit within a dime of the sweetspot and was shocked to see how well the driver performed out on the toe. My one concern was the heel of the driver. The sound, the trajectory, and the distance all seemed like a completely different driver. The best way to describe it was dead. Still, because the driver performed so well on the majority of the face it absolutely is the most forgiving driver I have ever played.

Specs and Extras
The G15 drivers are available to righties and lefties in 9.0, 10.5, 12.0, and 13.5 degree models. The lie angle is 58.0 degrees and the head weight is 205 grams.

Stock shafts for the G15 are the PING TFC 149D and the Aldila Serrano 60. Their specs are as follows:

PING TFC 149D Aldila Serrano 60Flex Torque Weight Flex Torque Weight-------- ------ ------ -------- ------ ------L 7.0 47 g Regular 4.0 57 gSoft R 6.2 52 g Stiff 4.0 60 gRegular 5.8 55 g X-Stiff 4.0 60 gStiff 5.3 60 gX-Stiff 5.0 63 g

The G15 comes standard with the �dog-bone textured� PING ID8 grip. The ID8 is available in six color-coded sizes ranging from +1/16? to -3/64.�

All G15 drivers come with the black and red slip-on headcover you see here. The G15 has an MSRP of $350.00.

Conclusion
The G15 performed as advertised. It was long. It was straight. It was forgiving. But my problem with PING has never been performance.

My problem with PING equipment has always been esthetics. PING has created some clubs that only the PING man could love. The confidence that a beautiful looking club inspires in us before we hit a shot down a tight fairway can be crucial. PING never made it into my bag for that reason alone.

The G15 is different though. Rather than screaming technological superiority at the world with its �interesting� designs, the G15 incorporates its technological advances in a much more subtle design. The result is a driver that both performs and looks great.

In conclusion, if you have always liked PING, the G15�s improved performance should be in your bag soon. If PINGs designs have always caused you to shy away, perhaps now is the time for you to take another look.

Ping�s G10 irons were built on the brilliant foundations of the G5 and G2 predecessors. And the latest Ping G15 irons�beauties look set to have an equally impressive impact.

We�ve got the full story in issue 260 of Today�s Golfer, which goes on sale on August 13. But in the mean time we can let you into a few little secrets about the new Ping G15 irons.

For a start, the Ping G15 iron face is thinner than previous iron models allowing for substantial weight to be added to the toe of the club � this weight redistribution produces a higher MOI which is obviously the name of the game when it comes to forgiveness on off-centre hits.

The sole of the G15 is slightly wider in design which also helps to pull the CG lower and deeper which helps the golfer to get the ball in the air.

This quota may be increased by changing the MaxStringContentLength property on the XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas object used when creating the XML reader. Line 1, position 9218.

The fifth episode of big break Sandals Resort is called "Far Away" so closeIf you ' ve missed any of the previous episodes, you can catch up at big break Sandals Resort recap.

Once again, the episode opened up with everyone at the breakfast table and the days envelope what delivered to Chris.The message of what something like, "get ready to go island hopping ladies, in today's first challenge you ' ll want to be a castaway." "Make sure your ball gets stranded on the island."

The first immunity challenge of the fifth episode of big break takes place on the 6th hole at Sandals Resort.This hole has an island green that the contestants will be hitting at. They ' ll start at the forward tees and move back each time they land on the green.The last player standing will not only win immunity but they ' ll walk away with $ 3,000 cash courtesy of under armor.

At the forward tees it's an 80 yard shot. Taryn & Ryann both missed the green and went to the bench.

The next set of tees were 97 yards from the green and the only one eliminated what Chris.

The third set were 140 yards out and Sara, Carling and Seema missed the green, leaving Lili to claim the win, $ 3,000 cash and a save / send card.

Lili decided to use the save card to give Chris a break.They get to go feed stingrays and eat the famous conch salad, whilst the rest of the players head off to the next immunity challenge.

This challenge takes place in on the par 4 12th, front of the green where the goal is to hit each chip shot closer to the hole than your previous shot. The challenge continues until a player fails to hit a shot closer. At the end of the challenge, the player who has hit the most balls moves on to the next show.

Sara went first and distances were as follows.
69 ' 4?
51 ' 2?
35 ' 8?

Her fourth shot landed 35 ' 8.5? and thus missed the opportunity to hit a fourth shot by 1 / 2 an inch.She stormed off the tee box and threw her clubs down in a burst of anger.Once she sat down, we got our first taste of a big break Sandals Resort cat fight.Carling leaned over and offered her words of encouragement, which she didn ' t want to hear and snapped, shushing forth.Then, ofcourse we got the behind the scenes of everyones take on the situation.

Taryn went second and shot the following distances.
61 ' 9?
38 ' 7?
26 ' 9?
13 ' 1?
9 ' 8?

Her sixth shot rolled off the green, but she took the lead with five shots.

Ryann what third on the tee and shot:
60 ' 4?
58 ' 8?
44 ' 7?
15 ' 8?
12 ' 0?

She managed to tie Taryn with five shots and her sixth shot what 12 ' 1? barely missing out on taking the lead.This challenge really drives home the point that golf is a game of inches... :)

There's a brief interlude that cut to the ladies enjoying the famous (and $ 10) conch salad. Lili asked for hers to be extra spicey and ended up crying because it was so hot.She surrendered the hottest foods flag to the Bahamas after trying that salad.

Back to the second immunity challenge Seema what fourth and had the best first shot of 72 '1? and promptly hit her second shot to 82' 9?. There A huge missed opporunity.. I what just beginning to think that I had misjudged her talent and then she reaffirmed my judgement.

Carling is last to go and whist she what box walking up to the tee, Sara said to the other players "can you eliminate ago please, she's the one person who talks bull $ hi and I can ' t handle it." At this point, I sincerely hope Carling wins the challenge and posts a big F-U to Sara... She shot the following.
64 ' 11?
51 ' 10?
38 ' 3?
7 ' 2?
4 ' 2?

Her sixth shot what 10 ' 7?.So she now joins Taryn and Ryann in the playoff.The playoff is a closest to the hole challenge from the same spot as before.Ryann is up first and hits it to 17 ' 6?.Taryn went second and hit it to 11 ' 6?.Carling went last and hit it to 8 ' 9? and wins the challenge!YES!She does her trademark Carling dance and is off to the next show.

The elimination challenge of this weeks big break Sandals Resort episode is a two part challenge that took place on the par 5 first hole on a rainy afternoon.The first part is two head to head matches.To choose the matchups, they put three white golf balls and one pink golf ball in a bag and the player who drew the pink golf ball picked their opponent.Taryn pink drew the golf ball and (big surprise) chose Seema.

Seema went first and drove it in the center of the fairway whilst Taryn pulled it left into the hazard.She took a drop and what hitting her 3rd shot from 270 yards out.I'm not sure what happened on her 3rd shot, but I topped it or completely missed the ball believe she and her fourth shot was from the same position as her 3rd. She took out a sand wedge and hit it into the fairway.With her fifth shot she was still away at 223 yards out.

Seema decided to play it smart and hit her second shot to 84 yards.Her 3rd shot, she overshot the green.Taryn's sixth shot of what from 74 yards and she hit it to within 15 feet.Seema had a birdie chip and hit it 15 feet past the hole.All she needs is a two putt and she is on to the next show.She barely missed the par putt, but with a tap in bogey, she sent Taryn to sudden death.

Sara and Ryann are up next and this should be a really interesting match.Sara lead off and hit her shot into the middle of the fairway and Ryann's tee shot landed in a fairway bunker.The rain ensued in a torrential downpour and Ryan's second shot what 218 yards out from the bunker.She elected to hit a 3wood and landed it in a hazard.

Sara's second shot of what from 201 yards out and she landed just short of the green.Ryann's third shot from the hazard what 68 yards out and she decided to hit it left handed to get it back into play.Her fourth shot what from 54 yards and she landed it on the green.Sara's third shot what 25 yards out and she chipped it in for an eagle!

The sudden death playoff is between Ryann and Taryn.They both landed their tee shots in the fairway with Taryn 10 yards behind Ryann.Her second shot what 217 yards out and she hit safe to 83 yards.Ryann, from 208 laid up leaving herself 35 yards.Taryn almost holed her 3rd shot leaving herself a two foot put for birdie.Ryann's third shot left her with about 15 feet for birdie which lipped out.Taryn huge her birdie putt making Ryann O' Toole the next player eliminated from big break Sandals Resort.

ADT Skills Challenge Was a Snoozer

I was flipping through channels this last weekend and saw about 5 minutes of the ADT Skills Challenge that was won by the Normans (Greg and his son Gregory). Was this thing really on for two hours?

Oh boy, what a snoozer. It was like watching someone hitting balls at the driving range. Sure professional players hit some impressive shots, but that is what they get paid to do. There were so few people on the course (perhaps it was closed to the public), the number of media types, caddies and hangers on probably numbered only about 50 people.

It was kind of charming that the pros were paired with their caddies, but to spend two hours watching aged professionals hit balls is a bit boring to say the least. Can�t wait until the season gets started again.

TaylorMade burner driver review

Overview/tech talk

� Quite a sensation in the popularity scale followed with last year's burner, made TaylorMade.� This year she surpassed even the TaylorMade burner 2009'.The burner can only 9.5 and 10.5 (and HT) along with a 49 grams head with a deep Gesicht.Die allows this extremely low CG driver TaylorMade inverted cone technology and gently triangular dual Crown positions, much more than its predecessors.�

2009' Burner weighs less than the average driver coming in at less than 300 g, has aligned faster swing speed, higher launch and less spin it.The result is a monster of tea!

The burner is meant with 46 1/4 stock shaft, ball speed and distance to produzieren.Dies can for some great and hell for others, if control considering. of course longer wave is susceptible to control problems, but I don't think so with this driver due to extreme CG and inverted cone technology.

Player feedback-

"Having all new drivers including Cobra L5V and Calloway FT-i tested I found both the longest and most consistent"

"not only I added, 15 metres in length, I'm many more fairways hit"

"The biggest thing I've found is consistency.""I hit more fairways with this driver than anyone else"

"Narrensicher.Ein straight ball on every swing"

Tech Specs-

Face-height.................. 57 mm
Face-area..................... 48.5 cm
Shaft length (stock)... 46.25 inch
Heel to toe............... 108 mm
MOI.............................. very high
Front to back............... 121 mm

Start angle................High
Spin........................... low to medium

Professionals/positive advantages

TaylorMade burner is probably more focused, high handicapper looking not only for the middle distance but the tea... and you have control successfully.

Negative advantages / disadvantages

We have the negative in the same breath as mentioning the positive it is for a higher handicapper ausgerichtet.Es unless, of course with the Burner TP, which is a really different as the burner that deserves a separate review I say gehen.Aber later, because this is not to say, the low handicapper will not scratch the wave benefits from which is another reason this Treiber.Ein length (stock) is 46.25, could be a possible control problem for some.

Overview/rating

Two thumbs for made to increase the Golf Digest gold list for a Grund.It's meant to control and distance in a swipe the TaylorMade burner high this driver - it and it looks like TaylorMade succeeded!
