Oh, and don't tell VJ Singh that all that time he spends on the range is now an obsolete practice method.
Considering that Vijay uses every golf gadget ever invented (I just know he has one of those hats with the dangly thing in his trunk) I'd be willing to bet that he's got the simulation stuff too.
By the way, the article didn't mention this one, but I've had a chance to use it and it's pretty cool. And I think the whole setup ran the guy about $2,500, a lot less than those in the article.
but I have watched lots of pros, and all the big hitters have a huge hip turn through impact.
The original poster was taking about the backswing. The downswing is a whole different matter. On the backswing, restricting your hip turn to 45 degrees while your shoulders turn 90 stores up a lot of energy that will get released during the downswing. If you overturn you hips on the backswing then all your power comes from muscle energy created during the downswing. By storing up some during the backswing you get to use both.
And, even guys like Tiger Woods don't really use equipment like this all that much.
Maybe not the simulators, but *every* pro uses launch monitors. They would even think of putting a club in their bag without knowing exactly how it performs. With launch monitors the club, shaft, and even tee height get fine-tuned.
Now for the kicker - according to the USGA, the average handicap hasn't dropped significantly. What does that tell us?
Try playing some of that old equipment. Your handicap will double. I'm a six handicap, but there's still plenty of times when I make an off-center hit with my driver. And the ball goes 240 yards and in the fairway. No way does that happen with an old driver. It'd go 190 and be in the woods.
And the balls are so much better today that's it's ridiculous. They go further, stop on a dime, and resist side-spin.
Hokey and Stale...say, wasn't that one of those cop buddy movies? Which one was the throw-out-book renegade cop who thought the rules didn't apply to him? Was that Stale?
It's a Simpsons reference. But then, with a zillion episodes it's getting hard to *not* make a Simpsons reference.
If I remember correctly, Homer's in some discount store looking for a new TV, and Bart tells him that the TVs are all crappy knock-offs. And Homer says something like "I know a genuine MagnetBox when I see one! And there's a Sorny and a Panaphonics!"
Something like that. Anyway, I'm sure we're only seconds away from someone following up with a post of the exact episode, dialog, and what they were wearing when they watched it.
I didn't even know about the hosts file until 5 minutes ago so would it have effected[sic] me? No.
I think he must have had you in mind when the Sony exec said "Most people I think don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"
Doesn't Blizzard can alter "demand" (and supply) simply by making your items change their attributes?
Don't a new exploit can make them worthless in a hour?
Well, yeah, of course. But if they can be altered then by definition they exist. The original poster said they didn't. Markets are really really complicated things, even ones that appear simple. Anything Blizzard (or anyone else) does is just another complication.
And Blizzard, even with their seemingly God-like powers, is not immune. If they dump too much gold on the market it changes the game. If they take away too much gold it also changes the game. Either one of those could ruin them. Since Blizzard, like everyone else in the market, will act in their own self interest, the market goes on, simply reacting to the complications.
Do you not understand what an unsupported beta is? And with a three-digit UID too.... where DID a moron like you buy it, if not on ebay?
Jeez Buddy, he's not saying he doesn't understand it, he's saying that obviously some Apple customers, even many, do not. You might brush up your reading comprehension skills, though I'm not sure if ebay can help you there.
Well, I typically get 50-60Kbps, with occasional bursts over 100 (They actually promote it as 256, but I think they just make that up.) Right now it's bouncing around the 40s, but admittedly this is a slow time of day. On a recent trip to the Chicago area I was getting over 300 (real) at night, and always well over 200. (I don't know who the provider was.) I'm surprised you're paying that much, and I'm *really* surprised at your throughput. Sounds like you're in a saturated area.
My total bill each month is about $90, which includes basic cable tv. I'm not sure how it breaks out, but since I don't watch it except maybe once in a while when it's raining (I get US programming over satellite) to me it's all internet cost. (Not quite fair, I know, but I think the TV part is relatively inexpensive.) If they offered it without TV for $80 I'd take it.
In a bit of a coincidence, I started to write this yesterday but I lost my internet connection and couldn't post it:-)
That's just not the same thing. Look at what just happened, for instance. Booting XP on a Mac was already accomplished, with little impact from the "outside world." Apple then does it officially and gains nine billion dollars in market cap.
Afterward, you have a great big hole. You'd at least have some hope of keeping it kind of clean so that things don't get much worse.
They had to be sticking something in there, even if they had to frequently replace it. Otherwise every time they ate it'd get filled with food, which unless they removed every speck would soon decay and cause all sorts of grief.
Before you start scaling fences or swimming rivers, just thought I'd warn you that America isn't the land of gold and honey you seem to think it is.
I appreciate the warning, but I'm not just guessing, I know. And while swimming might be pleasant, they let me walk in, having been born and raised there and stuff.
Because the free market economy has done so much for improving the free flow of information.
Here in this monopoly-controlled market, for my cable modem service I pay twice as much and get one-fourth the speed as in the US. And it goes out several times a month. And on top of that I'm forced to subscribe to their crappy cable TV in order to get it. How about you give me some of that free market action you don't think works?

Well, if that 5 is a typo and you meant to type a 1, then congratulations, you've succeeded.

Or what Sorny, Magnetbox, and Panaphonics did for consumer electronics.

Of course they do. How could they not? If there's a market, there supply and demand. It's not optional.
They operate on basis of fads and prestige of having some trinkets while others strive to get them.
That would be the "demand" part.
Why, do I feel like, I am tripping, and stumbling, as I read, your post?
I'll bet now that it's out that Steve sends him a bill.
It looks like it will be quite useful. When you get a little further along I'd like to start working with it.
Very interesting. Keep up the good work. BTW, it currently fails under Safari. Everything's undefined.

Yeah. Right after I posted it I realized I should have checked it. I think it's the first time I've ever actually written it out.

They can set their prices any way they like. If they do it stupidly, they fail.
Seriously though, how is this any different them paying the local criminal gang "Protection money"?
Your ISP doesn't beat you up if you don't pay or change providers.
Now my ISP literally wants wants: "Protection money" to 'protect' the packets I've already paid for.
You've "already paid for" whatever it is your agreement calls for. If the agreement is not to your liking, don't do business with them.

So you're basing your conclusion on the stock price. Isn't that circular reasoning?
