vBulletin 3.5 is out. vBulletin is the software that powers this forum, and the version we're running here is 3.0.9.

Version 3.5 features a lot of changes. I'm going to push the upgrade off until after the Newport Cup (October 15-16) as the current message board is working fairly well. However, shortly after October 16, the forum will be down for a few hours while I run the upgrade.

After that, the forum may be somewhat "bland" or "default style" for awhile until I figure out how to get back to the Sand Trap look to which we've all grown accustomed. Then again, maybe then will be as good a time as any to change the look of the forum.

This is just a notice. I'll post here a day or so before I plan to do the upgrade. Please continue to use and enjoy the forum in the meantime.

I ran the upgrade already and I didn't lose the "look" at all.

If you run any hacks, you will lose those but the colors and such will remain.

They don't mention this in the instructions but don't upload the images folder, you may lose any custom images that you have.

Guys this is a great set up for your forum. I'm glad to see you guys use Vbulletin. Its by far the best!!! I hope to be a poster on this forum for along time. SO many of the other golf forums are junk. Or have junk hosting.

Thanks guys

The upgrade has been completed. I have some tweaks to make (like removing the style chooser, if I can figure out why it's suddenly appeared).

If you see something broken or that acts funny, let me know.

The WYSIWYG editor looks a little funny....missing the font styles and size functions......some sizing icons in the upper right are also missing.

Check the client script folder, it may have not completely uploaded.

It uploaded and it looks okay here. Check your browser: it may be crap.

There really isn't a WYSIWYG editor. It's a text box with controls above it, and it looks okay to me:

I cleard my cache and cookies and got the sizing thing back but am still missing some icons.....no biggie, my computer is just limping along and is slated for replacement in a couple of weeks so it may just be me.

First thing I noticed was the hyperlink color.... Funny how you get so used to a look. Can't get the quick reply button to work, but maybe that's a profile thing.

Eric, I noticed you changed your autograph!

Oh yeah, that was green before, huh? I'll probably fix that. My autograph is the same.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
