What Rah didn't mention was that it shattered after a freak collision with a nearby tree. Incidentally, this moments after he drove into the water.

rah · July 9, 2003, 11:34

The funny thing about the 9 degree loft is that my old driver was 10 1/2 and the tragectory of the new one is..........exactly the same as my old one.

And AH, the shaft shattered at the hosel. Strength had absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

I have never been accused of having a lot in the way of strenght

or spelling

rah · July 9, 2003, 12:23

War4ever · July 9, 2003, 17:41

Hydey · July 9, 2003, 18:35

In the same way that I can't hit a three iron any further than a four iron. Funny how human failing can sometimes defeat physics.

150 acre drives would make you the longest hitter in the world I think.

Let's not make fun of the canadian's inability to accurately guage lengths. It's how they keep their girlfriends in line.

RAH

War4ever · July 10, 2003, 09:45

well i tapped a few that made me feel special but for the most part i struggled with the crooked stick

rah · July 10, 2003, 10:00

Now that line could be taken a few different ways

War4ever · July 10, 2003, 10:02

hehe, i left it open..but i am talking gold....i don't struggle the other way and it points straight like a large ruler

rah · July 10, 2003, 10:17

.................need to burn that image out of my brain.

ARggggggggggggggggg.

real men have a bend

STOP IT> STOP IT>

War4ever · July 10, 2003, 12:30

nah bending is broken, a tiny curve is acceptable

Berzerker · July 10, 2003, 16:58

Ming, I've been using it every time I play, I don't even know why my old putter is still in the bag. I've slowly sunk to the realisation there is no magic putter out there just waiting to turn me into Rah on the greens so it'll take work for me to get used to it, at least I've stopped blaming putters for my lack of skill

. It's still a big improvement over my other putters, I just have to get used to the insert on longer putts.

But it was surreal when Rah broke his driver, we were all looking at the ball as it started out left zooming along the tree line and then cutting back toward the fairway, quite a good drive. Rah was the first to notice the head of the club had disappeared and I remember looking over at him and catching a glimpse of the clubhead tumbling along the teebox. Rah looked like someone in a sword fight who just watched his sword get broken in half - a look of dis-belief combined with the look of terror as he realises his primary weapon is now gone.

But Rah and I are pretty even, we basicly tied at Kemper and I think we were about tied at, what was the second course we played? My only clear win came the second time we played Steeple and that was because I went +1 on the front nine as we were about tied on the back 9. Combine my driving with his putting and we'd have a helluva game.

YOUR LAUGH

rah · July 10, 2003, 17:52

Was that supposed to me "YOU LAUGH" ?
Otherwise, I'm confused.

DrSpike · July 10, 2003, 18:04

He's passed the point where he even attempts to have his +1's make sense.

At least it's better technology. But I'm still convinced that confidence is what makes a person a good putter.

That's the closest I've come to crying on a golf course.

I'll still concede that you are the better player and I hope we get the chance for a rematch. (My new driver is pretty hot, but I still can't hit it like you can)

Hydey · July 10, 2003, 19:27

Banging big drives is good but hitting greens is what really counts.

Ming · July 10, 2003, 19:45

Drive for show... putt for dough

I look forward to the rematch. Hopefully, there won't be gale force winds the next time
