Pac-Man Golf Balls?

As a fan of non-plain-white golf balls. I have to say when I saw these I thought "Eh?"

I got an email from Taylormade some months back to pre-order these. But they didn't really do anything for me. 

Then this morning, I saw that they are out of stock everywhere, and folks are now selling them on ebay for up to 100 bucks a dozen. One seller has sold over 30 dozen of them at $95 per dozen.

Hmm... maybe I should have bought some?

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

If I got them, the resale price would have gone down!😜

That's hilarious. 

When I got the email for the pre-order they didn't strike a cord with me at all. I mean I grew up in the 70's and 80's so obviously I played Pac-Man, but I don't feel the kind of connection in which I'd want Pac-Man paraphernalia. 

I got another email about "Limited" RedBull Racing TP5x golf balls. I felt even less connection there. 

My guess is TaylorMade (maybe others too) are going to keep coming out with these "limited edition" golf balls. Some will probably appreciate in the short term, some probably not. But my strong feeling is that none of them will be valuable in the long run. 

Hmmm... I'm not on Callaway's mailing list, but I just noticed they've got a crap-ton of "limited edition" golf balls as well. 

Callaway has seasonal ones: Valentine's Day, Halloween, Christmas (ugly sweater), etc.. 

I guess this is now a thing. ...

      :sigh: LMGTFY: The normal range of motion for knee flexion is approximately 135 to 155 degrees, allowing for essential activities like walking and sitting. For knee extension, it typically ranges from 0 degrees to about 15 degrees of hyperextension in some individuals.

      The course is playing tough. We’re only about 50 miles away. It very windy here and going to get worse. They’re all dressed like it’s the British Open!

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.

      The way to practice this is not at full speed, even if you do manage to "change" something. But no, not quite like that. That's a late lift, but you still have the early roll, and you stand up too much in that swing (likely in trying to "lift" — the "lift" is relative to your torso, not the ground).
