And if so, what?

I`ve started to listen to music while at the range, this helps me keep a good tempo. It also makes the hours spent practicing more bearable, and helps me focus, and give every shot some time, instead of just whacking the balls randomly.

In my current playlist, you find songs such as:
Redman - Let`s get dirty
Minus The Bear - Burying Luck
Lupe Fiasco - Daydreamin`
Fat Joe - Test Me
Young Jeezy and R.Kelly - Go Getta
Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home
Cute Is What We Aim For - Moan
Catch 22 - As The Footsteps Die Out Forever
The Kooks - Always Where I Need To Be
The Kooks - Slave To The Game

I`ve noticed that I feel way more energetic while listening to hip hop. Go Getta is definately my favourite song as of yet.

So, what do you listen to when you`re at the range?

I have made one hole in one this far. While you are reading this, I am most likely out on the tee trying to sink another one

I can't say that I ever have but I may give it a try (providing that my earbud cords are long enough). I will listen to whatever is on my iPod Touch.
  • A Perfect Circle
  • Breaking Benjamin
  • Paramore
  • Oleander
  • Collective Soul
  • My Chemical Romance
  • Lacuna Coil
  • Finger Eleven
  • Egypt Central
  • etc...

I wish I could play listening to music! That would be awesome....not very safe though.

I do. It helps me to concentrate on my own shots and not hear all the noise around me. Some people just annoy the hell out of you at the range, and if its so crowded where you cant move you have no choice.

I tend to listen to harder rock when I am at the range though.

Rock Playlists -

- Avenged Sevenfold
- Atreyu
- Bullet For My Valentine
- Shadows Fall
- All That Remains
- Trivium

Anything along those lines I find myself gravitating to on the range.
I love all types of music, but harder rock tends to get it done for me on the range.

I don't... after all I don't listen while playing golf.

But if I did I sure wouldn't listen to any of that rap or pop BS...

I do like listening to music while playing hockey though... especially for warm-ups. Still.... never rap... hard fast guitar is best for hockey.

If I did listen to music for golf I would listen to something soothing like classical or maybe classic rock or some such thing.

Just kidding Erland! My apologies in advance for the tasteless joke.

Nice! Like Willem Dafoe in Boondock Saints!

I actually have a nice classical music cd that I've been meaning to put on my iPod. I should try that if I can get a slow evening/morning on the course!

I knew there would be rap/crap jokes. I usually listen mostly to rock or progressive rock. Tool is beyond far my favourite band, but listening to it while at the range simply doesn`t work.

I`m pretty new to listening to music while at the range, I started this season, and this season started recently. I will play some Dredg while on the range tomorrow, and see how it fits.

    • 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.
