Attomax golf balls...You read correctly, these babies will run you $250 a dozen, just a tad over $20 a ball. I tell you at that price I am looking for my golf ball a lot longer than 3 minutes. 😝

ATTOMAX® GOLF BALLS

The Attomax golf ball using an amorphous metal alloy has been officially recognized as the world's longest distance golf ball. High-density, Hyper-elastic with Amorphous Metal Powder increases maximum distance and...

So… they're non-conforming, and he hit the Pro V1 farther in a test of ten shots.

Okay then.

Exactly, and don’t forget the sound they were making off his putter face. 
 

I think I’ll pass.

I came here to see if they have RFID chips in them.😀

I think the cost of these may be equivalent to what a feathery ball might have cost back in the day. It took a bucket of goose feathers boiled down to make one ball. A skilled person could make 4 balls in a day and it was really not possible to make a truly round feathery. A golfer might get two rounds out of one.

Golf was not historically a game for the common man.

It says casting layer infused with blended amorphous metal powder. What I am not clear on how does the the 'bounciness' of the metal manifest unless it bounces against something harder. 

The tink sound, especially off driver would give me tinnitus.

I like how they cite "amorphous metal" powder as if it's some sort of miracle material.

Who in their right mind would buy these? For the price of two dozen balls, they can buy the latest model driver and gain 20 yards while hitting more fairways.

You are a chemical engineer, right? Did you ever try to replicate the properties of clubbed in your basement? I have only seen the original with Fred MacMurry.

It’s a marketing strategy for the golf club manufacturers.  “Don’t worry, honey, I got a great deal on this new driver. Cost me less than two boxes of golf balls.”

Sounds a lot like the "Liquidmetal" amorphous technology used in a line of golf clubs years ago. They even advertised in a similar way, showing how much longer a standard golf ball bounced off the face of a Liquidmetal golf club. You can still find a Liquidmetal golf club or two on Ebay. My guess is that in spite of their impressive demonstration, the clubs performed no better than ordinary metal clubs.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
