on a personal note. There may be one or two persons I do not particularly care for, but I still give them credit where it is due. Hell, they don't think much of me either, but that's alright.

 

No worries, I saw myself on video a couple of weeks ago and cringed as some changes I made were better, but others, not so much. Schedule appointment with my instructor yesterday, cringed at video, made corrections to a few priorities so I can move forward. Tough game.

Distance wise.  I went back to tried and true methodology in having shallow AoA , and attention to keeping more weight on lead foot. Incorporated an old training aid of mine (hit under the coat hangar), and in practice seems to help.  For awhile I think I was trying to move the ball to accommodate the angle rather than vice versa.

What kind of flights and distances are you expecting from your irons?

Also, what are the actual problems? I'm not sure what the issue is other than a shallow AoA?

oh, I dunno.  Just a lot shorter than they used to be. My 7 iron should go 145 and now only about 120. PW is just under 100. Maybe temporary. I know that  I did notice ground contact was pretty far back just off right toe, so I thought by moving weight forward, I would move contact spot also. It seems to be working, but won't know till I get back on the course. By shallow, I do not mean in-line, but perhaps I am looking for -3 or something. Fairway woods, hybrids, and Driver are okay. I was never very long off the tee, maybe 240 or so when I was younger, now around 190-210.  Flights are fairly straight when struck well.

Fat toe shots can do this. Try aiming for a spot outside the ball and about 2 inches past the ball. Farther if you need to.

 

Just for reference, if you hit your driver around 200 you should expect carry distances as in the chart below for 85-ish mph:

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
